HAVE YOUR CAKE AND YOUR OVEN TOO

(Re: A Kitchen Full of Cake, Issue 180)

I loved the article on the Greenbaum bakery! I had one question, though. Mrs. Greenbaum says that she doesn’t own a commercial oven, and I was wondering about the reason for that decision. Why would someone rather choose standard ovens over commercial ones? I’d love it if she can clarify. Thank you so much!

Zahava

MRS. GREENBAUM RESPONDS:

According to my research, gas ovens are best for cakes and challos. You can see the difference in the results when you use commercial electric ovens. In fact, I once heard about a food establishment that got rid of their commercial ovens and replaced them with eleven 30-inch gas ovens. It’s possible that things have changed since I purchased my ovens, but that was the reason for my decision.

KNEIDLACH QUESTION

(Re: Heirloom Pesach Handbook, Issue 179)

I wanted to thank you for the beautiful Heirloom Pesach Cookbook you printed in the weeks leading up to Pesach. I actually have a looseleaf where I store all the recipes you print, and I use many of them

Founded by a former stutterer

throughout the year.

I was especially excited to see your recipe for matzah kneidlach, since I never had a recipe that really worked for me, and I saved it for the last day of Pesach when we eat gebrokts. However, the recipe stated that the kneidel mixture was to “stand until firm” before being cooked in the soup. Since it was prior to the evening seudah, I couldn’t prepare the mixture in advance, so I cooked the kneidlach without letting the mixture stand first. They were delicious and fluffy, but the next day I saw that once the mixture had been refrigerated overnight, the texture was so much better. I’m wondering how other people do this, since we have very little time to prepare for the seudah at night. Do they cook the kneidlach before Pesach?

Thank you,

A Curious Cook

MIRIAM PESSY WERCBERGER RESPONDS:

According to our rabbinical board, matzah kneidlach for Acharon Shel Pesach can be prepared in advance either on Erev Yom Tov or on Chol Hamoed (to avoid cooking on Yom Tov for the following day). Some people are makpid to use disposable utensils when doing so.

FROM START TO FINISH

(Re: Pesach Heirloom Handbook, Issue 179)

As an avid reader of The Boro Park View (I read it from cover to cover every week without fail), I would like to thank you for putting out such amazing reading for the heimishe family. I would also like to thank you for the amazing recipes you publish year round and especially for Pesach. Your recipes were the best by far and used only ingredients generally used by heimishe families.

I realize you put a tremendous amount of work into making it the success it is, but there’s just one small thing I want to point out. The recipes that are the most time-consuming are the ones that people generally make first, when they’re just starting to cook for Yom Tov, but I noticed that those recipes were printed last. I would have loved to have them earlier, when I first started cooking.

Thanks for a great paper!

REDEEMING VALUE

(Re: A Nation Redeemed, Issue 179)

An Avid Reader

Thank you for a fantastic Yom Tov edition. I appreciated the light and interesting reading, which was more appropriate for Yom Tov than heavy or burdening topics.

I enjoyed the series of articles on the different mitzvos of pidyon. The article mentioned that some people are

careful to perform a pidyon haben only with a kohen with known yichus. If you follow that line of thinking, then you can take the question further: If we don’t know for certain who is a kohen or a levi, then does that mean that every bechor needs a pidyon haben?

Z. Fisher

Y. BLOOMING RESPONDS:

Great question. In fact, Rav Yaakov Emden, the leading proponent of the position that we need to be concerned over the authenticity of a kohen’s yichus, also suggests that a child born to the daughter of a kohen or levi should have a pidyon haben to be safe. He does add that he can’t instruct an actual kohen or levi to do the same as it would denigrate their kedusha

Later poskim disagree with this position. As one explains, when someone has no clear chiyuv to do a mitzvah, we cannot instruct them to perform it out of caution when even doing so would not guarantee a successful resolution. Since the kohen on the other end may not actually be one, there is no basis for performing a pidyon haben for the son of a bas kohen or bas levi

FANTASTIC FICTION

(Re: The Majesty of Redemption, Issue 179)

Thank you for a most exceptional weekly publication. I would like to commend you for the story The Majesty of Redemption. It was an absolutely fantastic read. The wonderful interplay of characters, eloquence of language, and suspenseful plot was really engaging. The variety and accuracy of details used to describe the time period also reflected much research by the author. We would love to see more stories of this quality in the future.

YOUR SAY

A POP-ULAR PROBLEM

First, I want to commend you for such an interesting weekly magazine. I am amazed every week at how you come up with fresh, exciting topics to cover. Keep it up!

I want to make the public aware of a safety hazard related to the poppers that are very common at weddings. On three separate occasions, I watched as girls popping the poppers weren’t careful enough to point it up and away from others, and people really got hurt. I met a mechuteniste three days after her daughter’s wedding who told me that her shoulder still hurts terribly from being hit by a popper at the wedding.

I want people to be aware that this is not child’s play, and the poppers should only be handled by careful adults.

Thanks for giving the community a place to share and be heard!

ACHAREI MOS

KEDOSHIM

Greatness in Society

The concept of “ kedoshim tihiyu” seems like inner work, one preferably done in solitude. After all, personal growth is more straightforward when a person is on his own. It is much easier to fall prey to inappropriate speech or face challenges with shemiras einayim when in the company of others.

If this is so, then why is this parsha specifically read aloud during Hakhel, when all of Klal Yisroel is gathered together?

ONE AFTERNOON, a bachur was walking down the street in Bnei Brak when he noticed a curious thing. An elderly man was standing near a wall being erected at a construction site, holding on with all his might to a stone that had just been placed as part of the wall. As he neared, he was shocked to see that the man was none other than the Steipler Gaon, zt”l.

Running over to the gadol hador, he asked, “What is Rebbi doing, standing here in the heat of the day like a simple construction worker?”

In all simplicity, the Steipler replied, “I was passing a few minutes ago when a Jewish worker stopped me and asked if I could help him out. He said he needed to go to a nearby store for a few minutes, and since he had just placed a large stone on wet cement, he was afraid the stone might fall. He asked if I could stand here and watch over it until he returned.

“I looked around and saw that there was no one else in the area, which meant that this was a chesed that could not be done by anyone else. Thus, I was obligated to do it myself.”

The bachur was shocked. How could someone

ask a gadol of the Steipler’s stature to perform such a menial favor? It must be that the worker had no idea who he was! Still, it made no sense for a worker to trouble an elderly person with such a task.

“Which store did the man go to?” the bachur asked.

The Steipler pointed in its direction, and the bachur ran over to the shop. He immediately noticed the construction worker. He was sitting over his lunch, eating with gusto. The man seemed to have all the time in the world, totally oblivious to the fact that a white-bearded man was exerting all of energy over the large stone that he was guarding.

“Aren’t you ashamed?!” the bachur cried. “Do you know whom you troubled to do your work? A tremendous talmid

Kedusha is the essence of the Yid, as Rav Shalom Schwadron was wont to say: “Just like a donkey cannot be a person, a Yid cannot be a simple man. A Yid is holy! Hidden within him is kedusha, a part of Hashem, and this prompts him to behave differently than other people.”

In Parshas Kedoshim, we are commanded to be holy, much as Hashem is holy.

How could someone ask the Steipler to perform such a menial favor?

chacham! Do you think it’s okay to take advantage of an elderly man just because you want to eat?!”

Then the bachur ran back to the construction site to relieve the gadol hador from this unbecoming task and allow the Steipler to go back to his learning.

This was the astounding degree to which the Steipler negated himself. In the Steipler’s mind, a Yid needed help, and he would step up to the plate. The fact that it was not becoming for someone of his age and stature to do the task was a factor that didn’t exist. To the Steipler, the “I” simply did not exist!

This defines kedusha. Kedusha means looking past the box that surrounds one’s personal identity and focusing on the needs of others like his own. The more a person elevates himself, the less he invests in his own physical needs. The more he controls his emotions and sacrifices his desires, the greater his focus on others.

By negating oneself completely and sanctifying oneself solely for the sake of another, a person acquires kedusha

Perhaps this is the intent behind the reading of this parsha during Hakhel. It is a message to us that a person need not isolate himself from society in order to be holy.

Avoiding the nisyonos extant in social life is not the way to grow. Quite the contrary. Specifically when in the company of others, when dealing with society and worldly matters, one has the opportunity to acquire kedusha and taharah

In Parshas Kedoshim, the Torah recounts halachos that are relevant to all of us, all of the time. These include fearing one’s parents, not swearing or resorting to thievery, and laws pertaining to agriculture. These apply to simple folk, working men and farmers, too — not only to tzaddikim who are closeted in their homes, removed from interactions with others. This teaches us that every person, even in his day-to-day life and interactions with his peers, is capable of elevating himself to the highest levels of kedusha

Did You Know?

Parshas Kedoshim is special because it encompasses parallels to each of the Aseres Hadibros, explained in a new light. For this reason, much like the Aseres Hadibros were announced to all of Klal Yisroel as one, Parshas Kedoshim was read aloud in the presence of the entire nation — men, women and children.

RIKI GOLDSTEIN

CChayala’s exhaustion was like a gray cloud hovering over her, making everything fuzzy. It seemed as if she had only just dragged herself out of bed, gotten the kids ready for school and waved them off, and she was already drawn to get back under the covers. The debris of breakfast was still crusted on the table and crumbled on the floor, but she couldn’t face it. She’d take a nap, then brew two cups of strong coffee and sit down at her computer to try get some work done. Every task felt so demanding, and every decision she had to make was like climbing a mountain. The kids came home too soon, to a messy house, the simplest of suppers, and a tired mother who struggled to listen to their stories.

Chayala’s doctor listened to her symptoms and ran some tests. When everything came back negative, he diagnosed her with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), which has no cure. She began to look around for supplements that could boost her energy, trying anything and everything family and friends recommended. Despite the effort and expense, nothing really helped.

Eventually, Chayala tried yet another nutritionist, who explained that CFS is linked to abnormally low levels of certain good bacteria in the gut, and that her gut might be sensitive to some foods and supplements. At the nutritionist’s direction, Chayala discontinued her supplements and began to take probiotics to repair the gut and reinstate the vital, healthy bacteria which are supposed to

live there. She took four capsules of ProDermix Optimal Support daily. After two weeks, she noticed something: her digestion had dramatically improved. It took four weeks for the change to impact her energy level, for her to feel less tired, more focused, more able to swim with the tide and live her life. Now, four months later, the symptoms of chronic fatigue are gone.

FROM GUT HEALTH TO GOOD HEALTH

Many of us are aware of what scientists and the health community have proven for years: that probiotics, or, simply put, “good bacteria” are vital for digestion. After taking a course of antibiotics, which destroy the good bacteria along with the problematic ones, we need to replenish our probiotics, the essential bacteria that keep our digestive systems functioning well. It is also a given that the health of a person’s digestive system is reflected in his overall health. When the gut is operating effectively, we feel healthy and energetic. If our digestive system is not performing well, the results are not only unpleas-

ant stomach issues but also increased colds, flu, sluggishness, fatigue, and low mood.

This awareness is the reason that there are plenty of probiotic options available on the market. But Chayala’s nutritionist specifically recommended ProDermix Optimal Support. There are many strains of probiotics and ProDermix uses only the most effective ones. ProDermix is a kosher company that specializes in probiotic research alone and does not develop other vitamin supplements. They have invested years into developing a precisely calibrated probiotic formula under kosher supervision at one of America’s most advanced nutrition factories, and Optimal Support is the result. It includes strains such as lactobacillus gasseri, which has earned a reputation as “the fitness probiotic,” for its tremendous role in fighting off bad organisms and maintaining a healthy microbiome.

Nutritionists know that because it is formulated in a dedicated probiotic manufacturing facility, Optimal Support is hy-

poallergenic and suitable for the most sensitive individuals. The probiotics, which are live bacteria, are kept refrigerated. The formula also includes prebiotics, which are “food” for the probiotic bacteria and help them multiply. To avoid the common issue of probiotics and other supplements getting attacked by gastric acid as soon as they enter the esophagus, ProDermix uses a special ingredient which resists being broken down, making it gastric acid resistant.

As so many in our community know only too well, conditions like IBS and the like are more than uncomfortable—they are an unwelcome nuisance which can affect productivity, wellbeing, and mood. For the past thirteen years, many sufferers have found relief through ProDermix, and their bloating and cramping have faded away. Healthy individuals who want to avoid illness and maximize their health have used ProDermix as a preventative measure and felt their energy, vitality, and overall wellbeing increase.

The company constantly receives feedback from yet another category: those who manage fine during the week, but struggle with unpleasant digestive issues over Shabbos, Yom Tov, and simchas. “I suffered from a ‘Shabbos hangover’ every week,” says one typical ProDermix customer. “The bigger meals, and the mitzvah of eating three seudos plus washing for a late Melava Malka, left me feeling terrible every single Sunday. I couldn’t schedule anything for Sunday because I always felt so sick. Since I started on Optimal Support, it’s all gone. My digestion is doing just fine, even after a little cholent and kugel, and I don’t get sick. I can get up on Sunday and have a regular day.”

Taking care of your digestive health is a favor you can do for yourself. It repays itself many times over, both inwardly and outwardly.

CHAYALA’S NUTRITIONIST SPECIFICALLY RECOMMENDED PRODERMIX OPTIMAL SUPPORT BECAUSE NOT ALL PROBIOTICS ARE CREATED EQUAL.

Community Board 12 Unanimously Rejects Proposed 57th Street Zoning Proposal

A move to construct a nine-story structure in the heart of a residential neighborhood was soundly rejected by Community Board 12, with several hundred Boro Park residents turning out at an April 20th meeting of Community Board 12 to express their opposition to the project.

Developers were hoping to persuade members of Community Board 12’s zoning board to change the zoning of their parcel to R6A in order to be able to construct a 93-foot building on several adjacent lots located on 57th Street between 12th and 13th Avenues. Currently, buildings have been capped at three stories on residential streets, with larger structures built only on Boro Park’s avenues.

Residents have expressed concern about the proposed zoning change, saying that it would be detrimental to the area, would drive up housing prices, and would wreak havoc on parking.

“This could come to any block in Boro Park if we don’t push back now,” said one homeowner who lives in the area, noting that the developer paid above market value for the property.

“They will do the same anywhere they see a profit motive, leaving the rest of us unable to purchase homes,” added the homeowner.

Also of concern was the nature of the property, with neighbors unhappy that the apartments would be rental units, attracting residents who would not typically be invested in the area and preserving its unique flavor.

Rav Avrohom Chaim Steinwurzel, Rav of Khal Mateh Ephraim, spoke out strongly against the proposed plan, categorizing it as a terrible move for Boro Park.

“Zoning laws were enacted for this very reason — to preserve the character of neighborhoods for the residents of the area and for the entire neighborhood,” said Rabbi Steinwurzel.

The zoning change was rejected by Community Board 12, and 495 people had signed an online petition opposing the zoning change as of April 23rd. Still, the fight is far from over, with the City Council having the authority to approve the plan and set it in motion.

Safety First: NYS Pilots Speed Cameras in Active Construction Zones

Hoping to create safer conditions for construction workers, New York State launched a pilot program to keep drivers from speeding by placing mobile speed cameras in active work areas.

Fox 5 New York reported that the cameras are mounted on 30 SUVs that will be moved between construction zones as needed. While warning notices will be mailed out to violators until mid-May, fines will be issued thereafter, with drivers getting hit with $50 penalties for their first violation, $75 for the second, and $100 for all subsequent infractions over an eighteen-month period. While the tickets don’t penalize drivers with points, those who neglect to pay their fines could face holds on their vehicle registration.

“The orange cones, signs and flashing lights that they put out on the roadways — they’re not decorations,” said NYS Department of Transportation regional director of Region 10 Richard Causin. “They’re warnings to slow down and move over.”

Drivers can expect to see the speed cameras at construction projects on the state’s limited-access highways including the Southern State, the LIE and parkways, as well as on the New York State Thruway. More than half of the money collected through the new speed camera initiative will be used to help fund work zone safety projects.

“Every death and injury that happens to our highway workers, they’re preventable and they’re traffic,” said Jaime Franchi of the Long Island Contractors Association.

The plan is an idea whose time has come, said Karen Torres, whose father died seventeen years ago when he was hit by a distracted driver while working in a construction zone.

“Everyone is in such a rush that you forget these men and women want to go home every night,” said Torres.

Drivers who feel that they have been unfairly cited will have the ability to dispute the violations for 30 days after they are issued.

According to CBS News, vehicles entered closed sections of roadway undergoing construction or maintenance 378 times during 2021. Over 50 of those incidents resulted in injuries to construction workers or a person in the vehicle.

“Put the phone down, pay attention to your surroundings,” said Eric Brown of the New York City Department of Transportation. “Secondly, treat us like your family is out there.”

Subsidized Solar Panels May Be Coming to Low-Income New Yorkers

As many as 3,000 New York City homeowners may be eligible to have solar panels installed on their roofs at no cost under a new program designed to trim both the city’s carbon footprint and residents’ electric bills.

Gothamist reported that Mayor Eric Adams hopes to tap into federal funding for the program, which will be offered to eligible low-income homeowners, with some receiving panels on their roofs at no cost, while others would pay a

minimal charge instead of having to shell out $15,000 to $25,000 to go solar. One of the plans being suggested calls for participating homeowners to lease their rooftops to the city and share in the savings. Another plan would have the city helping homeowners apply for state and federal subsidies and bridge loans to purchase the panels.

The Adams administration has said it will allocate $1 million in seed money for the program, which is expected to be rolled out over the next five years. The mayor is counting on a competitive grant program administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to cover additional costs, with President Joe Biden allocating approximately $100 million toward environmental projects in underserved communities.

In addition to the costs involved, current fire department codes addressing rooftop spacing requirements have made it more difficult to install solar panels in New York City, which currently ranks sixth in the country’s big city solar installations. A bill introduced last month in the City Council could ease those requirements, making solar panels a more feasible option for residents of the five boroughs.

Currently, electricity costs in New York City are 40% higher than the nationwide average.

Lower Manhattan Garage Collapse Kills 1; Car Owners Advised to Contact Their Insurance Providers

The manager of a parking garage located in Manhattan’s Financial District died when the structure collapsed on itself last week, leaving five other workers injured and as many as 90 cars totaled.

Curbed reported that the roof of Enterprise Ann Parking, located at 57 Ann Street near Williams Avenue, pancaked onto the facility’s lower floors at approximately 4 p.m. on April 18, causing the three-story structure to cave in on itself. The weight of the 47 cars parked on the roof of the 98-year-old building may have been a factor in the collapse, with ABC news reporting that the company was permitted to park 50 cars on the roof according to its certificate of oc-

cupancy, which dates back to the 1950s.

Plans to demolish the parking garage were slowed by efforts to shore up the adjacent buildings and prevent secondary collapses. Initial estimates gave a 25-day timeline for the garage’s controlled demolition, with the potential hazards of gasoline, automotive fluids and electrical vehicle batteries slowing the work’s pace.

Garage manager Willis Moore was one of several people in the facility’s second floor office when the building caved in, and the collapse’s only fatality. Moore was 59 years old and the long-time manager of the garage.

BoroPark24 reported that the building has been hit with 19 violations over the years, some of which have yet to be resolved. Several Boro Parkers had vehicles parked in the garage, with one saying he had been using the facility for decades.

“My car is still in there, and my boss’s car has definitely been destroyed,” said the local resident.

As emergency workers continue extricating vehicles from the rubble, city officials are recommending that car owners call 311 and their insurance companies to report the accident. The process of retrieving the vehicles involved will be a lengthy one, said emergency management commissioner Zachary Iscol.

“We will reach out to find times, as we move these vehicles out of that location, for you to possibly come and find things that you might want in your vehicles,” said Iscol at an April 21st press conference.

While NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said that there was no reason to believe that the collapse was due to anything other than structural damage, the Manhattan district attorney’s office is continuing its investigation at this time.

Congressional Bill Proposed To Honor Americans Who Saved World War II Refugees

A quintet of congressional representatives introduced a bill in Washington D.C. last week that would award a shared Congressional Medal of Honor to

a group of Americans who actively rescued Holocaust refugees during World War II.

Representatives Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey, Judy Chu of California, Steve Cohen of Tennessee, Kim Schreier of Washington and Jamie Raskin of Maryland introduced the legislation on April 18 to commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day. The bill would honor former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt, former treasury secretary Henry Morgenthau, Jr., former interior secretary Harold Ickes and former Congress member Thomas D’Alesandro for their efforts, which saved thousands of Holocaust victims at a time when thousands of others were being summarily turned away from the United States.

Gottheimer emphasized the importance of honoring those who placed themselves in difficult positions in order to rescue World War II refugees, a timely message with anti-Semitism now on the rise.

“These incredible individuals leave behind legacies that continue to teach us of our responsibility to confront bigotry, hatred and intolerance wherever it rears its ugly head,” said Gottheimer.

Chu noted that the honorees saved thousands of victims from certain death at the hands of the Nazis, while Raskin hailed them as role models whose courage can empower United States citizens to fight bigotry in contemporary times.

“At great personal risk, justiceminded Americans rescued thousands of refugees and others fleeing violence during the Holocaust,” said Raskin.

“Their bravery saved countless lives from brutality and mass murder.”

Too Little, Too Late: Prospect Park Alligator Dies at Bronx Zoo

She made headlines after being pulled from a Brooklyn lake in February, but even two months of specialized medical care wasn’t enough to save Godzilla, the five-foot-long alligator that was rescued from Prospect Park in February.

Brooklyn Paper reported that Godzilla was taken to Animal Care Center in East New York before being transferred to the Bronx Zoo for medical care. Zoo officials said that she was severely underweight and had to be tube fed because she was too weak to eat on her own. Godzilla had undergone surgery to remove a bathtub stopper that she had swallowed, and a post-mortem necropsy showed that she was severely underweight, anemic, suffered from skin and intestinal infections, and a stomach ulcer.

Zoo officials described Godzilla’s death as a “tragic case of animal abuse.”

“This alligator suffered and died because its owner decided to dump her in a frigid lake in an extremely debilitated state rather than provide her with the veterinary care that could have saved her,” said zoo officials. “Wild animals are not pets.”

CHAPTER 3

Recap: In school, Chevi Eisdorf brags about her new house, to her cousin Fraidy Stroh’s frustration. Yaakov Stroh tells Riva that they need to ask the Eisdorfs for their money back so Riva will be free to leave her job.

The nickname OZ had been born the way most nicknames are born: That’s how Ozer had referred to himself as a toddler. In his case, the name stuck, and Lani harbored a secret appreciation for the moniker.

Because really, Oh, Zee, coats are meant to survive two winters. Did you really have to lose yours after five weeks?

The timing was terrifically off; it was both too late and too early in the season. Too late meant there was no selection left in the stores, and at the same time, if she did find a coat that could work, it was too early in the season; nothing was on sale yet.

It was also raining, and the plastic stroller cover was torn and kept slipping off Shifra’s stroller.

In the fifth store, Shifra started hollering and Lani’s head felt like it was going to split. She left the store emptyhanded and called her sister Riva to

vent.

“…And they only had a green one left in his size. OZ wouldn’t be caught dead wearing a green coat.” She maneuvered the stroller around a mini lake at the corner of the block. “I’d planned on going for tiles for the master bath today, and I also have four breakfasts going out tomorrow morning, I wanted to get a head start on that. Oh, Zee…” she finished off with a sigh.

She was lucky, Riva had Shaya’s coat in storage and gladly offered to give it to her. Lani ran home to catch Simcha’s bus, then strapped Shifra back into the stroller, hoisted Simcha onto the buggy board, and trotted the three blocks to Riva’s house to pick up the coat.

She found her sister whizzing around her kitchen, pulling out pots and ingredients and proceeding to peel, wash, chop, season and stir. It was like watching a cooking demo on double speed.

“World-class balabuste. You give me a complex,” Lani grumbled.

“Happy to share the status,” Riva replied smoothly. She pointed to a pack of schnitzel. “Feel free to bread these.”

“Thanks but no thanks. I have my own supper to cook.” Lani walked over to the counter, removed the lid from Riva’s cake stand, and helped herself to a slice of cake.

“If you make coffee, make two, yeah?” Lani said.

“Sure, sure…”

A few minutes later, with a soup simmering on the stove and her cutlets breaded, Riva sat down with her sister for a quick break.

Lani pulled a folded piece of paper out of her bag, and Riva automatically picked up her hands to shield her face. “Not your kitchen plans again,” she pleaded.

“My kitchen plans again,” Lani said ruefully. She flattened the paper and pointed to an area of the rendering. “Batsheva is pushing me to go with a counter-depth fridge, but I don’t know, will it give me enough fridge space? I can’t make up my mind about this.”

Of all the construction dilemmas she faced, these practical versus cosmetic decisions were the worst. She’d thought she’d spared herself the headache by hiring a designer, and it had been a real help, but sometimes she felt like Batsheva didn’t get her. When that happened, she trusted her sister more.

Riva wrapped her fingers around her coffee cup and leaned over the paper. “Hmm. I totally see her point. It makes the kitchen look so much bigger.”

“I knooooow. But think about Yom Tov. Am I going to manage?”

“You’ll have your spare fridge in the basement, right?”

“That’s stuffed with Break In ingredients. That really doesn’t help me.”

“Hmm… Is it even… Ugh, Eli!” Riva bent down to pluck chewed-up crayons from her baby’s mouth, and when she sat up again, her cellphone on the table shuddered to life. She squinted down at the screen and gnashed her teeth. When the ringing ended, she dialed her voicemail and listened. Lani watched her sister’s cheeks shrink into her face.

“Everything alright?” Lani asked.

“It’s just my boss, whatever.”

“Just your boss, whatever? What does the prison warden want from you this time?”

“Transfer me to solitary confinement?” Riva said bitterly.

“It really isn’t funny.”

“I know. What should I do?”

“You know exactly what you need to do. You need to get out of that crazy office,” Lani stated. “Like, yesterday.”

Riva smashed her empty paper cup and gave Lani a very odd look. “Do I?”

Riva was still pouting over her boss’s voicemail that evening as she served Yaakov a very late supper.

If you want to know where Amanda, Kathy, Darlene, Jessica and STELLA went… There’s a new cleaning company around. Great rates…

The dig was unmistakable.

“How is this my fault?” she whined as she sank into her chair.

“Everything will be your fault as long as you’re in that place.” He slid some sour pickles into his plate. “It’s the reality, and that’s why you’re leaving.”

Her husband, her sister — even her mother was on her case — were constantly expressing their horror over Mr. Gabioff’s tyranny. It was as if by telling her to leave they were taking care of the problem. But what would they do if she actually left? She wasn’t starting a new job at this point in her life; she was so done Besides, nobody would hire her for the hours and pay she needed. Did they consider what would happen if she was out of a job, or did they keep saying it because they knew good and well that she’d never have the guts to leave?

After supper, while Yaakov stayed home to put the kids to bed, Riva ran out for a quick grocery run. She didn’t bother taking a wagon — she just needed three things — but of course, three quickly turned into thirteen, and when her phone rang, her arms were too full to get it out of her pocket.

When she left the store, she checked her missed calls. Unknown caller. She had an unwritten policy: If she missed a call from an unknown number, she never called back. If someone wanted to reach her, they could always call again, or leave a voicemail.

This time, though, she thought she recognized the number as her sister-in-law Nechama’s second line, so she called back. It was only when the phone was already ringing that she realized it wasn’t.

“Is this Mrs. Stroh?”

“Riva. Yes?”

“Oh, hi, thanks for returning my call. My name is Shuli Nieder. I got your number from Mr. Gabioff?”

A client? Why would Mr. Gabioff give a client her private cell number?

But it wasn’t a client. “So he scheduled an interview with me for tomorrow,” Shuli explained, “and I wanted to do a little research on the business before I come down. He said you’re working for him for a bunch of years?”

What? Her boss was looking to hire?

“I… am,” she stammered. She shifted one of the grocery bags to her other hand.

“Oh, okay, good. So let’s hear, what can you tell me about the place?”

“YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED TO DO. YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF THAT CRAZY OFFICE,” LANI STATED. “LIKE, YESTERDAY.”

Should anyone desire a tour of Chaim Tzvi Eisdorf’s brain — and it was certainly a brain that would capture people’s interest — all they needed to do was hitch a ride in his car.

The place was a wreck: papers, seforim, wires, garbage and more and more papers covered every inch of space. The glove compartment was perpetually open, overstuffed as it was, and yet, if you asked Chaim Tzvi for some random receipt that had been printed eight months earlier, he’d know exactly where to find it.

Just like his brain. A mess, but the most organized mess in the world.

The problem was that his car doubled as his office, and the passenger seat was where he welcomed his fundraising clients for meetings.

“I’ll never get how you operate,” Lani said as she strapped Shifra into her car seat. “Aren’t you embarrassed to bring people in here?” She pushed a shopping bag full of papers and envelopes off her seat before getting in. “Seriously, Chaim Tzvi. This yogurt container looks older than Shifra.”

Chaim Tzvi grinned. “Eh. It makes the chevra feel comfortable. It’s a business strategy, ha.”

Lani shot him a not funny look and reached for the seatbelt. Then she pulled out her construction notebook and briskly opened it on her lap. As Chaim Tzvi drove, she once again blessed Yaakov Stroh’s brilliant solution: Install a fulldepth fridge, but recess it into the utility closet behind the kitchen so that it would appear to be counterdepth.

“Andy loved the fridge idea,” she told her husband. “And the plumber and electrician both said they can make it work. I’m so happy about this. We have our cake and get to eat it too, huh?”

When they entered A&A Kitchen’s showroom, Chaim Tzvi stuffed one of his million envelopes into his jacket pocket. “If we don’t finalize today, I’m canceling this kitchen,” he warned Lani.

“We’re finalizing, we’re finalizing. Don’t worry. And then we’ll celebrate by stopping somewhere for sandwiches, because I don’t know about you, but I’m up since five and still didn’t have breakfast.”

“Shoemaker goes barefoot?”

“You got it.”

They did finalize. Forty-five minutes later, after emailing Batsheva for her confirmation, Lani picked up a pen. With Shifra hanging from her left hand and her heart racing slightly, she signed off on the final rendering.

Orit, the kitchen designer who had patiently put up with Lani’s million corrections for months, brought her hands together for a commemorative clap.

“Mazel tov,” she said. She stacked the printouts on her desk, then turned back to her screen. “Okay, we’ll just need a deposit

now, and you’re all set!”

Lani’s head automatically turned to Chaim Tzvi. Orit removed the invoice from the printer and slid it across her desk.

“ATM machine,” Chaim Tzvi muttered.

Lani swallowed a grimace. He’d taken up this line of jokes lately, and she really didn’t appreciate it.

Chaim Tzvi’s face remained impassive as he started withdrawing envelopes from every one of his hundred pockets. There were bundles of cash, checks held together by rubber bands, and from his pants pockets came yet another envelope, a single check, made out to some congregation.

She dared a quick glance at Orit, then shifted her attention to Shifra in her arms. However bemused the woman may be, she probably wouldn’t believe that Chaim Tzvi had a perfect accounting of every cent he carried on his person. “A walking bank,” his brothers always teased him.

A walking bank with a calculator head, and right now, with a crease of worry between his eyes that made Lani forget how hungry she was.

“What’s going on?” she asked the minute they left A&A.

“What should be going on? We finalized. I can’t believe it.”

His tone was light, but his mind wasn’t present. It wasn’t the envelopes he was redistributing between his pockets; something was wrong. He was hiding something.

“You wanted a sandwich?” Chaim Tzvi asked when they were in the car.

“Forget it, I’m not in the mood.”

He didn’t push it. Lani waited for him to offer something, but he didn’t, and then his phone rang and he took the call on speaker.

“Andy!” he cried. “What’s going on in my house? Can I book the movers?”

The contractor laughed, but a moment later, he got serious. “I need money, boss. Can you have something for me today? I gotta pay my workers, you know.”

The crease between Chaim Tzvi’s eyes sharpened, and although he didn’t lose his cool — “Sure, Andy, I’ll print some right now. How much do you need?” — she got her answer right there.

“Are we running dry?” she asked as soon as Chaim Tzvi hung up.

He patted his chest over his inner pocket. “Not dry…” He hesitated, which got her nervous, because Chaim Tzvi never hesitated.

“Not dry,” he repeated, “but yeah, we’re quite a bit over the original estimate, and we’re very far from done. I know it’s normal, and I’ll deal with it, but meanwhile, if you’re asking, I was actually thinking… Do you think we could ask Riva and Yaakov for an additional small loan?”

“I NEED MONEY, BOSS. CAN YOU HAVE SOMETHING FOR ME TODAY? I GOTTA PAY MY WORKERS, YOU KNOW.”

WEEK

2 OF 4 |

Last week we spoke about the importance of not cutting out food groups or even specific foods from our life. We also clarified that there is no specific food that makes a person gain weight, but rather, it’s the overeating of any food that is the issue.

The question that usually follows is: “Are you saying that I can eat chocolate and cheesecake and not gain weight?”

Well, technically, the answer is yes. As long as we don’t eat too much of it. And by “too much” we mean more calories than our body can burn off in a day, which is different for each person.

Realistically speaking, however, if we choose higher-calorie, sugar-laden foods too often we will run into the following issues:

1. These high-calorie, low-nutrient foods will leave us craving more, which ultimately makes it hard to stop

eating. And as we said, too much food (or too many calories) can cause weight gain over time.

2. We will lack the energy and focus that nutrientdense foods provide.

But for most of us, it isn’t realistic to think that we will go the rest of our lives without chocolate. Or cheesecake. Or potato chips. So why should I feel guilty every time I eat something that isn’t nutritious?

Doesn’t it make more sense to just allow ourselves some junk food in moderation? Knowing that I am allowed to have some treats, and actually planning to have these foods, is a game-changer. I will no longer feel like I cheated or messed up. And I will no longer be filled with guilt or regret, or feel like a failure or that I lack self control. Because I don’t even want to have that amount of self-control; I want some treats. One could even argue that I need some!

How much junk food to have varies from person to person, of course, just as the amount of nutritious food a person needs varies from person to person. You know yourself best. Take a look at your history, and it’ll give you a glimpse into the future. Do you always end up eating cake on Shabbos morning, no matter how hard you try to resist? Maybe you need to stop resisting and start allowing! Do you find yourself going for the chocolates on Friday night even though you planned not to? Maybe you need to start planning yes to! And while you’re thinking about what you might need, also try to evaluate how much you might need. How much is too little — so little that it keeps bringing you back for more? How much is too much — so much that it actually sabotages your weight loss plans, as well as making you feel physically uncomfortable? And how much is just right — the amount that feels good both while you eat it, as well as afterward?

Try to determine when you need treats, and how much you need, so that you feel good about your decisions. And then try to resist taking more (we always want more!) because the decision has been made and you will feel good when you stick to it.

We can lose the fear of junk food making us fat, and we can definitely lose the guilt and regret that goes along with it!

Having suffered through a long cold winter where we never, ever, saw a snow plow coming through our residential block in Queens, it was beyond exciting to see the tree in front of our house erupting in a riot of tiny yellow flowers that heralded the onset of spring. While after 30-plus years of living in Monsey I can now identify that tree as a maple, to my young and unpracticed eye, it was what I assumed all non-evergreens looked like. I loved looking out the window and seeing it in full bloom.

My love of spring and its promise of warm days, fresh air and good times continued unabated for years until I got married and had kids and realized that my family members clearly had differ-

All through my childhood, April was a magical month.

ent opinions. My oldest was four the day she came home from playgroup with red, swollen eyes. Even as I reached for the phone to call the pediatrician, my husband pulled out the Benadryl and correctly diagnosed the culprit as seasonal allergies, something he was all too familiar with from his own experiences.

Fast-forward a bunch of years and a couple of kids, and I found myself surrounded by a family who sniffled their way through April, May and June, rubbing their itchy eyes and dreaming of rainy days to wash away the pollen. All but one of my kids suffer from tree pollen allergies, and my efforts to fill the house with fresh spring air became a very unpopular move, with my husband telling my daughter on at least one occasion as he unceremoniously shut all the windows, “Mommy doesn’t realize that she’s killing us.”

While we never went the allergy shot route, we tried just about every medicine available. Claritin and Zyrtec did nothing to help any of my kids. Allegra eventually be-

came the medicine of choice at Chez Eller, doing the best job of minimizing the symptoms, at least a little, while eyedrops provided shortterm relief from the constant itching. Having pinpointed birch trees as a major allergen for my crew, I asked my pediatrician if cutting down the birch tree in front of my house would help in any way. The answer was a resounding no, because apparently, if there was a birch tree within a 20mile radius from my house, I was likely to have sneezy, sniffly kids.

Over the years we tried various approaches to make spring less miserable, even as I lay awake at night wondering how we would ever take bar mitzvah pictures of my one and only son, whose birthday is during peak allergy season. Keeping windows closed was definitely helpful, and we waited for those rainy days that washed away the pollen. One year my pediatrician suggested getting a jump on the pollen by starting allergy medicine a few weeks ahead of time, which actually helped to some degree. Even now that my kids are all married, I still send out reminders on March 1 to remind them to start taking their Allegra before the trees start to bloom. Each spring there was always one morning when my youngest would march grumpily into the kitchen for breakfast, having been up the entire night with her allergies. Thankfully, that seemed to be a once-a-year event. Ironically, the year COVID hit she had a great allergy season because she stayed inside almost all of the time. And my daughters all found that they were allergy-free when they were in Yerushalayim, either as seminary students or as young kollel wives.

I FOUND MYSELF SURROUNDED BY A FAMILY WHO SNIFFLED THEIR WAY THROUGH APRIL, MAY AND JUNE, RUBBING THEIR ITCHY EYES AND DREAMING OF RAINY DAYS TO WASH AWAY THE POLLEN

But allergies are a reality in Monsey, though my son tells me that they are even worse in Lakewood. I remember getting a phone call from the school nurse in early May when my son was in second grade, telling me that he was absolutely miserable. With weeks of pollen still ahead, taking him home didn’t seem like a good choice. I headed to school with a bottle of Benadryl, knowing that it would make him tired but would at least offer a little relief. Little did I know that statewide assessment tests were being given that day, and my son’s teacher came running after me saying, “Nooooooo, don’t give him Benadryl! He’s not going to do well on his test!” Suffice it to say, I was far more concerned about making my son feel better than about how his second-grade test scores might affect his shidduchim one day. I gave him Benadryl.

Short of finding a place to live whose foliage won’t set off my sensitive family members, dealing with allergies is about making the best of an inevitable situation. There is definitely a list of allergy remedies that none of us here have tried, including rinsing your

nasal passages with saline solution. My youngest lobbied for allergy shots in the hopes of becoming desensitized to the pollens that plagued her, even asking for them as a birthday gift one year — but weekly trips to the allergist for months on end just wasn’t something I could sign up for. I have heard that eating locally farmed honey can be beneficial because it contains small amounts of the actual pollens that are present in the area, which can desen-

Rebbe Nachman’s Guarantee

Rebbe Nachman from breslov chose two of his students (Rav Aharon, Rav of Breslov, and Rav Naftali from Nemerov) as witnesses to his declaration. He stated that

• Whoever comes to my tzion - (gravesite) (located in Uman – Ukraine)

• Gives a prutah for tzdaka –(donates a small amount of money for charity in his favor)

• recites ten specific chapters of Tehilim - (Psalms) “16. 32. 41. 42. 59. 77. 90. 105. 137. 150.”

Then… even if his sins are very severe…

“I will do everything in my power… and go to all lengths … to save him!!! help him!!! correct his sins!!! and protect him!!! by his “payos”- (sidelock) I will pull him out of GEHINOM - (hell), However, the person must commit not to intentionally sin again.

The TZADDIK also said:

The Tzaddik said; that reciting these ten chapters of Tehilim at any place and time will cleanse the soul and provide significant help.

He emphasized the importance of reciting these above ten chapters of Tehilim, which is known as the Tikkun Haklali

The rebbe said: “I’m strongly committed to what I say, especially in the power of reciting those above 10 chapters of tehilim the tikkun haklali.”

(sefer “sichos haran” chapter 141 . “chaye moharan” chapter 225)

sitize allergy sufferers to those pollens. That is another avenue that we have yet to explore.

As with so many other things in life, understanding the problem is half the solution. Windy days that have pollen blowing everywhere are far more vexing than rainy days when the pollen gets washed away into the local sewer system. Gardening and lawn mowing definitely aren’t the best choices for those suffering from seasonal allergies, particularly during the morning hours, when pollen counts are highest. And those dreaded COVID face masks that were the bane of our existence for months on end can be helpful for those who need to be outdoors. Allergists definitely recommended changing clothing and showering when coming in after being outside, also to eliminate any clinging pollens. And in addition to following my husband’s lead and keeping the windows closed during allergy season, both air conditioning and air purifiers can be

an allergy sufferer’s best friend, filling the house with clean, pollen-free air.

Those March 1 allergy-medicine reminders that I send out are being used these days to help a new generation of the pollen-plagued. My heart goes out to those of my grandchildren who walk around all May with red, swollen eyes and perpetual sniffles. April is still my favorite time of year — even though now it is the pink flowers on my dogwood that are the annual harbinger of spring, as well as a reminder to stock up the softest tissues available. Even as our windows stay shut, I think ahead to June, when the worst of the season will finally be behind us.

Now if only my family members’ assorted food allergies would go away after three months. That would be truly amazing — but that’s a story for a different time…

Sitting around the table as a family isn’t fun during those weeks. Kleenex boxes are as popular as licorice niblets, and the stack in the box disappears rapidly along with the accompanying sounds:

Ah-choo!

Ah-ah-ah-CHOO!

My siblings and I all suffer terribly, and now that we’re parents ourselves, our misery is only compounded by the suffering of our children. Every time a young kid sneezes

Seasonal allergies are a fact in our family. In an unfortunate twist of genetics, every last one of us develops watery eyes and persistent sniffles as soon as spring arrives.

AS TOLD TO HADASSAH STEINMAN

If it’s too good to be true…

in the beginning of the spring, I go into high alert. Is it allergies — or just a cold? Please, Hashem, spare my child!

Raizy is the one who suffers most of all my kids. Spring finds us both knee-deep in tissues and eye drops, and we’ve tried all the so-called solutions under the sun. There was Claritin, Zyrtec, vitamins and more vitamins, but while some help more and others less, nothing takes it all away.

That’s why my curiosity was piqued by the miracle stories I started hearing about an acupuncturist an hour away. He was purportedly dispensing relief like it was water. Some careful application of needles in a manner known to his people for thousands of years, and the cure was on the way.

Ignoring the lingering questions (Was this for real? And why was this acupuncturist more successful than others?) I booked appointments for myself and Raizy, and soon we were on our way to our very own miracle.

Sitting in the acupuncturist’s office was surreal. There we were, perhaps eight or ten chronic allergy sufferers, with needles sticking out of our foreheads. It was quiet, very quiet, and moving from one client to the next, the acupuncturist plied his magic.

Soon the treatment was complete, and Raizy and I left the room to pay. Along with the change came a small package containing white pills I was supposed to take daily. Raizy didn’t get pills, I noticed, and I intuited — for the language

barrier was so great that there were barely any words exchanged at all — that she was too young for the supplemental assistance.

Now we were ready to go, for better or for worse, and we left for home.

The season passed, and we noticed that “for better or for worse” was exactly how it turned out. I had fared better, but Raizy had fared worse. Way worse that I did.

About a year later, I was discussing this with a friend, who reminded me about the “supplemental assistance” I’d been treated with along with the acupuncture session. That’s when I remembered those little white innocuous pills I was handed along with my change. Was it the needles that worked their magic, or the pills

Raizy was too young to receive?

And what, exactly, were those pills? Super powerful steroids? Probably. Produced in China, without reliable oversight? Most certainly.

Now I knew why this particular acupuncturist was known for his unbelievable results. With the help of unidentified little white pills, anything is possible.

A GROWING ENTERPRISE

Mowing the lawn began as a weekly chore, but soon evolved into a hobby that Dovid not only enjoyed, but also found he was skilled at.

“By the time I was ten years old or so,” Dovid says, “I completely took over the weekly mowing, and I also started mowing the grass for some neighbors. I charged about fifteen dollars for the service, and soon I was busy on most Fridays, mowing the lawn for this neighbor or that one.”

Dovid admits that his parents weren’t thrilled when he wasn’t around to help on busy Friday afternoons. “I started mowing some of the lawns on Sunday instead,” he says.

But when it came to purchasing the necessary equipment or generally letting Dovid develop his green thumb, his parents were supportive. So supportive, in fact, that soon the front of

their home sported brand-new bushes, and then some beautiful flowers in honor of Shavuos.

“I also planted flowers for some neighbors,” Dovid adds. “The older I got, the more I learned to do, and I also started charging a little more for my work. I understood more about the value of money. The price for mowing, for example, went up about five dollars every year.”

SEEDS, WEEDS AND EXPERTISE

Once Dovid had a few years of lawn care under his belt, he offered some neighbors an “all-year package.”

“In the beginning of the season, I would trim the bushes and lay down fresh mulch. I’d also fill empty spots with fertilized soil, grass seeds and then straw to keep the birds from eat-

Dovid was only eight years old when he began helping his father push their lawnmower up and down their Monsey lawn each week, but that moment kicked off a childhood career that is still going strong today, at age sixteen.

ing the seeds.”

This is news to me. “Is that the purpose of straw?” I’d always assumed it offers some kind of magical grass-growing contribution to soil.

But Dovid knows his stuff. “It helps keep the ground moist, but it also keeps the birds from getting to the seeds. They don’t like the straw.”

At the beginning of the season, Dovid also clears away dead branches and leaves with the aid of a powerful leaf blower. Then he applies weed killer to keep the grass healthy.

“I once bought a weed-and-grass killer spray by mistake,” Dovid remembers. “That’s meant to be used where you don’t want grass, like where you put down mulch. The bottles looked really similar, and I only noticed my mistake a few days after I used it, when I saw that the grass was drying out along with the weeds!”

But the grass grew back, and that’s one mistake Dovid won’t make again.

Once the spring months pass, what happens when summer arrives in all its glory?

“Once summer arrives,” Dovid says, “then I need to step up my mowing. Midsummer, grass needs to get trimmed about once a week. I have a weed-whacker to help out where needed. I also give the bushes another trim during the summer, and lay down some more mulch where necessary.”

Then, whether Dovid likes it or not, the nights turn cool and summer comes to an end. There’s a nip in the air, the grass loses its enthusiasm for growing, and the trees lose their leaves.

“Once it really starts getting cold,” Dovid says, “the leaves start falling, so that

TIPS BY DOVID

ON GROWING GRASS

“Any lawn work should start in April,” Dovid says. “If you see any empty patches where grass should be growing, cover it with soil, sprinkle some seeds on top, and add straw. And if the lawn is in really poor condition and you want to redo the whole thing, it needs to be dug up and turned over first.”

What about fertilizer?

“Fertilizer is very important. It helps the grass grow, and it also gets it to grow stronger and greener. Soil purchased in a bag,” Dovid continues, “usually contains fertilizer. I once bought soil by the truckload, and there was a big difference. The soil wasn’t fertilized, and it contained small wood chips and rocks. So definitely stick to good-quality soil sold in bags.”

ON WATERING GRASS

To water the lawn, Dovid advises using either a sprinkler or a hose.

“Grass usually needs to be watered about once a day, but you kind of need to follow your instincts. If a week is really rainy, you can probably skip a day or two, but if it’s very dry, then you may want to water the lawn more than once a day.”

What time of day is best for watering?

“Definitely when the sun isn’t too strong,” Dovid says. “If you water the grass under the bright sun, your grass may burn, and the water will disappear before it can even do its job.”

ON MOWING GRASS

In the beginning of the season and toward the end of it, grass needs to be trimmed once every two or three weeks. But during peak summer weeks, it needs a weekly mow.

“And as I already mentioned,” Dovid says, “always make sure to cut the grass really short before the winter. You want it holding up well under all that snow.”

means I need to do some leaf blowing again. I also make sure to cut the grass right before the winter. You don’t want tall grass getting pulled up by shovels once the snow comes down.”

TAKING STOCK

By now I’m trying to picture the mound of equipment Dovid owns, and there’s definite pride in his voice when he describes his collection.

“I have a mower, of course, and a weed-whacker, which I mentioned. Then I have a cart for seeding, a tool to turn up the

ground before planting, a trimmer for bushes, a leaf blower, a chainsaw —”

Has he ever gotten hurt?

“No, baruch Hashem,” he says, but then he laughs. “I did cut through some wires, though. Befores I got my gas trimmer, I had cheaper electric trimmers. Those came with long wires that always got tangled, and I cut through them more than once. Eventually, we invested in a gas trimmer.”

At this point I’m certain that Dovid’s parents deserve the Parents of the Year award. This is a lot of equipment to own and maintain! And that’s before all the material he needs to stock, like soil, seeds and fertilizer.

“We get enough of all that to last the season,” Dovid confirms. “We go to Home Depot, or Lowe’s, and get it all at once: soil, seeds, fertilizer, weed killer, mulch… Then, for bushes or flowers, we go to a local nursery.”

Any words of wisdom when it comes to picking flowers and plants?

“Well, we try to avoid getting flowers that squirrels like,” Dovid says. “We’ve had squirrels nibble at flowers here and there, but it was rare, because we chose carefully.

“As with everything,” he finishes, “it all comes with experience.”

When Mosaic came onto the scene, I was eager to see how the Davis method would be implemented -- and I was not disappointed. The students who joined the program made progress almost immediately. We saw tremendous strides in their reading levels. As a result, their confidence and overall performance improved. They used their tools they were learning at Mosaic to help them across all subjects. I would recommend Mosaic for the struggling student who hasn't responded to regular remediation.

DOVID’S GARDEN

Aside from basic lawn maintenance, Dovid has a pet vegetable garden where he grows cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and more. Last year he also grew eucalyptus and sunflowers, and this year he’s adding radishes, carrots and peas. And if you’re imagining a small patch of soil playing host to a neat row of plants, think again.

“This is the fourth year I’m planting a vegetable garden,” Dovid shares. “The first year, it measured five feet by ten feet, the next year it measured ten square feet, and last year it measured ten by twenty feet.”

And this year?

“This year,” Dovid says proudly, “it’ll measure ten by twenty-six feet! And I’ll be planting it in a small greenhouse.”

I’m assuming it’s simply to keep the animals away, but there’s another reason.

“To plant seeds, you need weather that’s warmer than 40 degrees,” Dovid explains. “When you plant seeds in a greenhouse, however, you can put in a heater, which means you can plant earlier and later in the season.”

Another thing Dovid chose to do differently this year is plant vegetables from the seeds themselves instead of from purchased plants. He picked seeds out of peppers, placed them in small cups of soil, and the trays holding these cups go out every morning and come in every night.

“I’m hoping to start seeing results in about a week,” Dovid says.

This vegetable garden is a yearly project for the entire family. One brother has had a classmate’s family come by for a tour and to pick vegetables, and another brother once took a cucumber back to yeshiva with him, with interesting results.

“First the boys made fun of it. They said the cucumber looks like a squash, and why exactly was my brother bringing it to a Shab -

bos seduah and cutting it up?”

But then they all got a taste, and despite themselves, they couldn’t help but comment on the remarkable flavor and texture.

“Homegrown cucumbers are just tastier and crunchier,” Dovid explains. “They don’t sit on trucks or in crates for days before being enjoyed; they’re as fresh as can possibly be!”

But some surprises aren’t as great.

“One year, we chose to grow some hot peppers. The label on the plants said that these hot peppers were very hot, but we bought them anyway and planted them.

“One Shabbos, my mother found these fresh hot peppers in the kitchen. Since they looked so pretty — red and orange — she thought they were mini peppers, and she sliced them up and placed them around the eggs served at the day seudah.”

Dovid laughs at the memory. “The peppers weren’t just hot; they were super hot! They were so sharp that we couldn’t even eat the eggs that had come in contact with the peppers! And if they got into your eyes, forget it. You were stuck with irritated eyes for three days.”

Those peppers went straight into the garbage. After Shabbos, the family did a little research and learned these were the second or third hottest peppers in the world!

“So I didn’t plant hot peppers this year,” Dovid finishes.

And what about animals like birds, deer and squirrels? Do they get into the garden?

“Well,” says Dovid, “I always fenced my garden and sprayed it for protection, so I never had any major issues with animals. One year, the year of the hot pepper fiasco, deer did get into the garden (see photo), but it was toward the end of the season and pretty cold, so there weren’t any vegetables left. The deer mostly ate the leaves that were left — though it was smart enough to avoid the hot pepper plants! In fact, that was the only plant in the garden that stayed intact.”

Adding dimension to your outdoor play space

I love my house.

It’s new, it was designed for a frum family, it has tons of gorgeous windows so that the house glows with sunlight.

But it has one major drawback: It doesn’t have a backyard.

My sister lives around the corner. She has an enormous yard, and my kids spend hours there every spring and summer. You would think they spend their time on the beautiful swing set and play structure she installed, but no. I have five boys and she has four, and they spend their time digging. Every year, they spend a few weeks digging a hole. I mean, a pit. I mean, a tunnel to China.

When the hole is so deep that it’s too hard for them to toss the dirt out when they’re standing at the bottom, they start filling it. This becomes a whole project because apparently, you can’t fill a hole just by replacing the earth you dug out (I don’t really understand why not, but that’s the reality). But it keeps the kids busy for another week, and then they start the process all over again.

My sister is very brave.

You might be too fainthearted for this kind of fun, but here are some ideas to keep your kids busy outdoors. If you have a large yard, installing a few of these in separate areas will really develop your space (and can help keep kids from fighting when they’re all outside). The ideas listed here all support strong play experiences and development — no fluff or zombie electronics. Have fun!

ZIPLINES

For a while I puzzled over the appeal of ziplines, but I think I figured it out. Probably since the beginning of time, people have wished they could fly, and ziplines give you that rush that comes with soaring above the ground. You can install a zipline between two trees or poles, and a basic kit (like from Walmart or Home Depot) is not pricey.

TRAMPOLINES

Trampolines scare me, mostly because when I was a kid, my cousin Baruch fell off a trampoline and broke both arms two weeks before his bar mitzvah, which had to be postponed. But there’s a new concept in outdoor trampolines: in-ground trampolines, which are basically trampolines installed over a dug-out area of your yard. This makes the trampoline level with the ground and eliminates the fall risk. In-ground trampolines are pricier than the other ideas listed here, but worth exploring if safety is a concern.

SANDBOXES AND WATER TABLES

I’m lumping these two together because you know about them already, but that doesn’t mean you should overlook them. Kids love sandboxes and water tables. Don’t underestimate this one. I think it’s the sensory element — the rushing water, the sand flowing between their fingers. There are sandbox options in all price ranges, and you can even fill a water table with sand if that works better for you.

I once bought one of those enormous Sterilite storage boxes, filled it with dry clean sand from Home Depot, and parked it right outside my door. It was cheap, easy and clean, and it kept my kids busy for hours.

YARD CAMPING

Not everyone enjoys camping (“cramping,” an acquaintance calls it). Personally, moving with a bunch of small kids into a tent in the wilderness does not sound like fun to me. But your kids can have their cake and eat it too by camping in your yard. Buy a small tent — they’re not expensive — and set it up as close or far from the house as you like. Pajamas, flashlights and roasted marshmallows will easily complete the experience. Tents aren’t only for evening/nighttime adventures. I find that kids love small, defined spaces. A small tent in the yard can become a clubhouse — or castle. Once it’s there, kids will love spending time in it. Park a small tent in your yard, and watch the magic happen.

SAUCER SWINGS

Here’s another easy and low-cost upgrade for your yard. Saucer swings are flat circular discs that are hung from a tree and give kids their own little space to relax. They don’t replace swing set style swings; they’re not designed for pumping forcefully and soaring into the sky. But these swings are inexpensive and add dimension to your outdoor space. I’ve seen them mostly as single-seaters, but there are models on the market that seat a few kids. Look around for other options in the tree swings category, too.

GIANT OUTDOOR GAMES

I stumbled across such a game when shopping once; it was a giant set of Connect Four (under a different brand name). It was probably the height of a young child, and when you set it up in the yard, it makes a matzav. I’ve seen similarly sized Scrabble and tic-tac-toe games.

Alternatively, you can just use spray chalk to play tic-tac-toe or other games on the grass. In fact, if you’re willing to give your kids spray chalk, they’ll probably think of a hundred things to do with it.

What if your daughter didn’t just have to “get through” each day?

What if she was surrounded by teachers who embrace her, friends who accept her, and staff who channel her energy into leadership, creativity, and connection?

When you plant your daughter in the right environment, the relief is profound. And her confidence can soar, one success at a time.

TETHERBALL

Kids love it. I don’t know why, but they do. They’re inexpensive, low maintenance and fun. I don’t have much else to say about it, but what else could you need?

HAMMOCKS

My mother sent me a hammock last summer as a gift. I don’t have a yard (see above), but she said I could put it on my deck. I thought the main benefit of the hammock was the hour it kept my boys busy while they assembled it, but I was wrong. The kids love to hang out on the hammock; somehow it mellows them. Even I really enjoy it when all the stars align and the weather is nice and I have a minute to sit.

Anxiety — for the Rest of Us

Anxiety can range from mild nervousness to intense fear. Living with anxiety as a disorder can affect every aspect of life. Therapy can help a person manage anxiety and open up to experiencing the beauty of life.

Feeling emotions is a complex and powerful experience that influences the way we perceive and interact with the world. Emotions serve as a vital communication tool, allowing us to understand and express our inner experiences and to understand the feelings of others. Emotions also help us make sense of the world, influencing our thoughts, behaviors, and decisions.

As humans, we possess the capacity to experience a wide range of emotions, both positive and negative ones. We experience emotions of joy, happiness, love, excitement and satisfaction, and conversely, emotions such as sadness, anger, frustration, anxiety and fear. These impressions shape our thoughts, behaviors and responses to different situations we encounter in life.

Emotions can be triggered by a wide range of experiences. Something as simple as hearing our favorite song playing or things more complex, events like losing a job or a traumatic event. All of these can bring upon strong Emotions. Our emotions can be hard to understand sometimes, and when we have a hard time making sense of our own emotions, expressing and communicating with others can be

really difficult.

It’s important to remember that people experience emotions differently. What feels overwhelming to one person might not be a big deal to the next one. Emotional experiences are unique, complex and multifaceted, and there’s no one “right” way to feel.

One of the most common emotions that people experience is anxiety. Anxiety can range from mild nervousness to intense fear or panic. Most people will experience anxiety at some point in their lives, but living with an anxiety disorder is altogther different.

Anxiety can be all-consuming, affecting every aspect of life. People with anxiety often describe feeling as if every muscle in their body feels tense and rigid. They might wake up in the morning feeling

Most people will experience anxiety at some point in their lives, but living with an anxiety disorder is altogether different.

stiff and achy, as though they’ve been rolled up in a tight ball all night. Even when consciously trying to relax, they may find themselves tensed up without even noticing. This constant tension can be exhausting, seeping into every cell of the body and making it difficult to ever feel at peace.

The experience of anxiety can feel claustrophobic, as though walls are closing in all around. People with anxiety may feel pressure on their chest and have trouble breathing. Sometimes, the pressure can be so intense

that it is a physically painful feeling.

Living with anxiety is often frustrating and exhausting. Sometimes people with anxiety feel as though they live in a constant state of alert, just waiting for the next wave of anxiety to hit. Making plans can be a challenging task because of the fear that anxiety symptoms might interfere. People with anxiety often have to adapt their plans to accommodate their symptoms, which can be emotionally draining. They may feel as though they’re not doing enough, even when they are in actuality trying the best they can. The constant self-criticism can in of itself create a vicious cycle of negative emotions which just serves to exacerbate the anxiety.

Remember, emotions are a beautiful thing. They give us the ability to appreciate the joy of spending time with loved ones, the satisfaction of achieving a goal, and the happiness of simply living. Emotions also provide the impetus for growth and change, as we are motivated to seek out positive experiences and avoid negative ones.

It’s okay to reach out for help. There are many resources available, such as therapy, that can provide guidance and support. With the right support and tools you can learn to manage your anxiety and live a happy and fulfilling life!

Emotional experiences are unique, complex and multifaceted, and there’s no one “right” way to feel.

S me ll th e tr e es , fe el t he bre eze, S ay good by e

BY BAILY BIEDERMAN

Ever wish you could spread your wings — er, arms — and fly? Do you dream of feeling the breeze rush by as you see the world from above? The closest way to capture the feeling of flying through open air is by riding a zipline.

WHAT IS A ZIPLINE?

A zipline is a pulley-and-cable system, usually created out of steel cables, which relies on gravity to propel its cargo and therefore works only downhill. This makes it ideal for mountainous and hilly regions.

In order to stay safe while riding a zipline, make sure to listen carefully to all safety instructions from your guide. Ensure that your harness is properly fitted, and longer hair or any strings should be tucked away to avoid getting tangled in the ropes.

THE BEGINNING OF THE LINE

Ziplines were originally created as a method of transportation. Imagine needing to fly through the air to visit your neighbor down the hill. Thrilling — er, not!

Ziplines were used in mountainous countries such as China, Japan and India as early as 250 BCE, and they propelled people and packages downhill for many decades. In fact, in some remote areas of China, ziplines were used up until 2015, when they were finally replaced by footbridges for pedestrian use.

IN TRAINING

During World War II, the United States planned to drop a large number of soldiers onto French soil within a short amount of time by employing parachutes. To have all these soldiers train for the mission, the army set up ziplines to simulate a parachute landing. The training was so successful that ziplines are still being used in military training camps today.

THINK YOU’RE TOO OLD FOR A ZIPLINE ADVENTURE?

Bet you can’t beat this one: On April 6, 2018, Jack Reynolds broke the Guiness World Record as the oldest person to ride a zipline at the sprightly age of 106.

ZIPLINES OF NOTE

The world’s longest zipline is located in the UAE (shocker). Built in the breathtaking mountainous region of Ras Al Khaimah, Jebels Jais Flight opened to visitors in 2018. It spans 9,284 feet, which translates to 1.76 miles. However, people fly at speeds of up to 99 miles an hour and therefore finish their journey in just three short minutes.

Want to zipline but don’t want to trek up, up, up? How about ziplining underground? You could totally do that!

Mega Zips is located in Louisville, Kentucky. The zipline is located within Mega Cavern, a cave that’s approximately 100 acres large and reaches a depth of up to 90 feet in some areas.

No need to travel that far for an amazing zipline experience. New York Zipline Adventures, located in Hunter, New York, boasts North America’s largest zipline. It’s operational all year round, so you can choose between a view of snowy mountain caps or the Catskills’ lush greenery.

This one’s a feast for the eyes: The Aiguille Rouge ZipLine is located atop the French Alps in Val Thorens, France. At 10,600 feet above sea level, it’s the highest elevation zipline in the world. If you’re afraid of heights, you might want to skip this one.

If flying above mountains and valleys is not adventurous enough, how about ziplining above the water? Dragon’s Breath is located on the Caribbean island of Labadee, where you can zipline above the breathtakingly beautiful Atlantic Ocean. At over 2,600 feet long, it’s the longest above-water zipline.
