Issue 186

My ideal job was a position within a vibrant community of like-minded individuals, but it also had to be something that would challenge me intellectually. Enter the remarkable team at Key2Leads, who understood my unique requirements and went above and beyond to make it happen. I highly recommend Key2Leads to all my friends , as their expertise and dedication are truly unparalleled.

After spending over 10 years in a company plagued by persistent issues that showed no signs of improvement , I made the decision to search for a new organization that would value my extensive expertise and take my concerns seriously. Thanks to Key2Leads, I successfully secured a position that not only appreciates my years of experience but also rewards me with a 50k increase in salary, along with the added benefit of profit sharing.

A DAY GONE BY

(Re: Snapshots of Royalty, Issue 185)

Thank you for a beautiful feature on kingdoms of the past (and present). The article was both pleasant to look at and to read! I found the details about Queen Elizabeth II’s daily schedule especially interesting, as it was relatable and gave me a sneak peek into her day-to-day life.

Keep those articles coming!

SLEEP WELL

(Re: Gleaned from the Goral, Issue 185)

M.P.

In your collection of stories about the goral haGra, one story was about a young mother who was terrified of giving her children a melatonin supplement to help them wind down and fall asleep.

I personally shy away from overusing Western medicine whenever it is not strictly necessary, but I do use melatonin supplements for my children when I need to. I was told there is absolutely nothing wrong with a small amount of melatonin. The mother in the story sounded absolutely desperate and like she was on the verge of doing something extreme. In truth, there are extreme cases where children simply cannot fall asleep at a reasonable time. I just want to reassure this mother (and other mothers out there) that melatonin is safe to use.

THE SOURCE OF IT ALL

(Re: Gleaned from the Goral, Issue 185)

Thank you so much for sharing stories about the goral haGra. Whenever I come across stories such as these, I find it so remarkable to actually see that everything can be found in the Torah. How awe-inspiring, and how appropriate for Shavuos!

Thank you,

NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY

(Re: Gleaned from the Goral, Issue 185)

S.H.

I was taken aback to read the stories of “pashute Yidden” who used the goral haGra to help them make big decisions. My understanding from my rebbeim is that the goral is a very specific process. Did all of these people know what they were doing? Otherwise, I’d be surprised that people would make life-altering decisions based on their own performance of the goral

I’d like to reiterate what the article mentioned: It’s important to do the goral with the help of daas Torah.

HOW MANY FLOWERS?

(Re: Framed with Flowers, Issue 184) I was so excited to see your directions on decorating window frames with garlands of flowers. I always try to decorate the house for Shavuos beyond the standard vase on the table, and these garlands looked so classy, neat and beautiful!

I’d like to ask the designer for the proportion of leaves to baby’s breath used so I can figure out what to buy when I want to try this next Shavuos, be”H

I used about five bunches of eucalyptus leaves for every two to three bunches of baby’s breath (as they are sold in Blossoms). Quantities will vary based on garland size.

PARSHAS NASO

And I Will Bless Them

What is the significance of these three hallowed pesukim?

IT WAS SHAVUOS MORNING. Yechiel Michel, a son of the mashgiach of Yeshivas Kaminetz in Eretz Yisroel, Rav Moshe Aharon Stern, zt”l, was a young boy. He was tired, having stayed up learning all night.

Walking home from shul after davening, his father turned to him.

“Come,” he said, “We’re going to Gur. Today is the yahrtzeit of the Imrei Emes, zt”l, and there must be hundreds of kohanim davening there. Let’s go hear their Birchas Kohanim. Surely among the crowd there are also several kohanim meyuchasim (kohanim who could trace their lineage to Aharon Hakohen).”

“But I am so tired,” Yechiel Michel protested.

Rav Moshe Aharon patiently yet convincingly explained: “Imagine if someone would come over to you now and offer to take you to the Vilna Gaon, zt”l, for a bracha. Would you also complain that you’re tired? I’m sure you wouldn’t think twice, but go running!

“Here, Hakadosh Baruch Hu promises to bentch us Himself: ‘V’samu es Shemi al bnei Yisroel v’Ani avarchem — And they shall bestow My Name upon Klal Yisroel, and I will bless them’ (Bamidbar 6:27). And you’re complaining that you’re tired?!”

* * * * *

A Yid was once visiting the town of Ofakim in Eretz Yisroel. After davening in shul, he accompanied the legendary rav, Rav Shimshon Pincus, zt”l, on his way out.

As they wove their way through the benches, Rav Pincus

turned to him and said, “I’m sure you’ve heard that there is someone here who gives out brachos… and not just any brachos, but brachos that make such an impact — they never go unanswered! He is in the second shtiebel right now. Let’s go get some brachos…”

The Yid was curious. Who was this unidentified guest who was dispensing such priceless blessings?

When they entered the shtiebel, they found the minyan in the middle of Chazaras Hashatz.

“In another minute or two,” Rav Pincus gestured to his companion, “they will be saying Birchas Kohanim. The Torah says, ‘V’Ani avarchem.’ Aren’t the brachos of Hakadosh Baruch Hu Himself worth more than the bracha of any rav or rebbe?” * * * * *

Mrs. Kaplan, an elderly woman from the Mattersdorf neighborhood of Yerushalayim, was in the hospital, in a precarious state. Around her stood her children and grandchildren, totaling more than a minyan of kohanim. They decided to recite Birchas Kohanim in her hospital room as a zechus for her refuah

Sadly, it was not meant to be, and the following morning, their beloved matriarch returned her neshamah to her Creator.

But sharing her room was a very ill 98-year-old woman. The doctors had given up hope and felt that it would be a matter of days before she would pass on.

When she heard the Kaplans’ heartwarming recital of Birchas Kohanim, she motioned to them with her last

With the inspiration of Shavuos still echoing in our hearts and minds, we read of Birchas Kohanim in this week’s parsha . In chutz la’aretz , we merit being blessed by the kohanim every Yom Tov. Our brothers in Eretz Yisroel have this privilege every day.

REJUVENATION DESTINATION

Who was this unidentified guest who was dispensing such priceless blessings?

strength that she, too, wished to be blessed. The men were only too happy to comply and recited the bracha with much emotion.

The effects were immediate. Her condition began to improve that very day! Within a short time, she regained her strength and was discharged from the hospital, against all odds.

* * * * *

Several years ago, a woman in Bnei Brak was experiencing a challenging medical situation, and the doctors claimed intervention was necessary. Her husband called Rav Nissim Karelitz, zt”l, for a bracha and to ask whether they should follow the doctors’ counsel.

Rebbetzin Leah Karelitz answered the phone. She promised to give the woman’s name to her husband and added, “Don’t do anything drastic. Wait until the morning; you will see that everything will turn out well.”

And that is exactly what happened. Later, Rebbetzin Karelitz was asked, “How did you have the courage to take responsibility for something that went against the doctors’ advice?”

“Let me ask you,” the Rebbetzin replied. “Do you think it was me who blessed that woman? Absolutely not! I believe — wholeheartedly — in the power of Birchas Kohanim. When I hear kohanim duchan, I have in mind everyone who asked me for brachos. I simply gather the brachos that the kohanim scatter across the world, and channel them toward those in need of a yeshuah! It is a bracha directly from Hashem!” * * * * *

The Netziv of Volozhin writes, “All the brachos in the world are included in the concise words of Birchas Kohanim, and there is nothing to add.”

May we all merit recognizing the potency and power of Birchas Kohanim and be prepared to collect the treasure that is up for grabs.

Splendor Savor THE

GRUNBAUM

Less than one year in, Dolcetto has positioned itself at the pinnacle of the fine-dining scene, dazzling clients with an unparalleled experience in a transformative setting. I went to check it out for myself.

YAKOV

Even before the friendly maitre d’ showed us to our seats on our recent night out, I’d already decided it was worth the drive up from the city.

It was a Thursday evening, and the place was hopping. I’ve been in one too many restaurants to know that this generally means subpar service, long waits and a handful of apologies— sorry, we’re out of that. But we were there for the same reason all the other patrons were, and I wasn’t going to give up so fast.

I wouldn’t leave disappointed.

A FEAST FOR ALL SENSES

Dolcetto (pronounced duhl-CHEH-toe) opened less than one year ago on Chestnut Ridge Road in Monsey, NY. Named after an Italian wine grape variety, Dolcetto’s initial launch was delayed by a fire on the roof. But within a short few months the restaurant hit its stride, with service and consistency to match its upscale and unique vibe and cuisine offerings. Wherever you’re coming from, it’s worth the drive.

The establishment’s distinctive interior transports visitors to another place. It’s apparent that Dolcetto’s ownership set out to create an ambiance that sets it apart from the rest. The cozy decor was designed with a rugged element that allows natural beauty to shine. The furnishings fuse an oldfashioned, vintage feel with up-to-date, modern elements.

The energy you feel at Dolcetto is vibrant and unique, providing a serene setting in an atmosphere unlike any other. In a world with many options, this inviting space has clearly been designed to provide a superior experience that transcends the menu offerings.

True to Dolcetto’s name, the wine menu features over 80 bottles from across the kosher wine spectrum, as well as over a dozen well-crafted cocktails, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic. The signature Dolcetto Sangria, a drink that consists of wine and fruit products, set the tone for a night that would delight all our senses.

We were fortunate to still get access to the winter menu, before the restaurant shifts to its Spring/Summer ‘23 menu.

heres to high-society culinary convention by taking advantage of produce when they’re in peak season and when our bodies are designed to enjoy them (but don’t worry, the classics on the menu are always available).

On this busy night, the restaurant was full of patrons enjoying the best in finedining in the area. Every kind of hat or yarmulke, every color shirt, every affiliation, seemed to find themselves comfortably at home in the beautifully decorated main room. Families celebrating major milestones, friends spending time together, colleagues closing a deal—it was all happening at Dolcetto.

We struck up a conversation with four individuals seated at a table nearby. They told us they were from Lakewood and were in the area, so they made time to experience Dolcetto. Up and down New Jersey, they must have passed a few dozen other options to get a taste of Monsey’s new culinary gem.

They were not disappointed with their choice, either.

DINE-IN WITH A BONE-IN

Dolcetto can best be described as a French American restaurant, upgraded for today’s consumer. The dishes fuse the simple and the complex, the familiar and the foreign, the classic and the modern, to turn every dish into something rich and memorable.

When we ordered our appetizers we wanted something to complement the popular BBQ ribs and brisket tostada. When our roasted Middle Eastern-flavored cauliflower and caramelized brussel sprouts arrived, the reaction was, “Why didn’t anyone tell me vegetables can be such delicious showstoppers?”

For the main, we naturally ordered the Steak Dolcetto,

appropriately bearing the restaurant name. Served with a punch-packing potato gratin, it has become a must-order for guests. We also learned that the bone-in steaks have been dried in-house for 50 days, all part of Dolcetto’s commitment to unadulterated perfection.

The desserts followed what we’d come to expect from the ambiance, decor, music, service, drinks and dinner itself. To be fair, we were more than full and didn’t think there would be much room for dessert, but as anyone who’s ever been to a restaurant knows, once you see something on a neighboring table, especially a rich and decadent dessert, you’re always going to find some space for it…

And with that, it was almost time for the check.

ELEVATED EXCELLENCE

A discerning eye can quickly observe that the Dolcetto experience wasn’t created by a novice or an aspiring restaurateur. The fine details of fine dining are too well designed for someone new to the industry.

We were lucky to get a few minutes with owner Alex Green, who is a hands-on presence in the establishment every day. “It’s been a dream of mine to build such a place for many years,” he told me. “I’m a rarity in this space, as I’ve grown up in the food industry and have prepared food professionally for many years. I don’t just own the restaurant, I live it.”

Alex can often be seen in the kitchen perfecting a dish or lending a hand. With service always at the front of his mind, he recently found himself preparing a complete dish that is no longer on the menu for a guest who had a particular food allergy and was relying on being treated to it during her visit. Every employee he hires is required to study and sign off on an employee handbook that perpetuates Alex’s vision of what a Dolcetto experience should look like.

Chef Danny, Dolcetto’s executive chef, previously worked at one of the top restaurants in the world, and then at a well-known kosher establishment, where he fused the culinary knowledge he accumulated over the years with the needs and wants of the kosher consumer. The pride he takes in preparing every dish can only be appreciated by indulging in the fare Dolcetto has become known and beloved for. Ditto for the craft mixologist at Dolcetto who has earned himself a wizardly reputation for identifying what a guest likes and crafting the perfect drink just for them.

As we got up to say our thank yous and enjoy the nighttime breeze outside (side note: outdoor seating will be offered this summer) we took another look around the room to take in the colorful crowd enjoying a serene and lovely night out.

It was clear that long after the food and the drinks are gone, the glow of the Dolcetto experience will last.

Check Your License and Stay Out of Jail, Says Felder

Having been the recipient of many panicked phone calls over the years regarding community members who have been jailed for driving with suspended licenses, State Senator Simcha Felder is taking a proactive approach to the problem in advance of the busy summer travel season.

Felder’s office is ready to help those who have suspended licenses, providing them with the necessary information to restore their driving privileges. The senator and his staff are also working in conjunction with the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles to verify drivers’ licenses, by request, to ensure that they are in good standing.

Felder noted that many people only discover their licenses are suspended when they get pulled over for a minor traffic violation and are arrested for unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. Resolving the problem involves going through a stressful legal process and can be costly, warned Felder.

“People make mistakes,” said Felder. “They miss the official notice sent by mail, and you will only know if you check.”

Those wishing to check their licenses can do so at no charge by calling Felder’s office at 718-253-2015 or emailing Felder@ NYSenate.gov. Drivers can also check their licenses online by registering for an account with the DMV at www.dmv.ny.gov.

Adams Pleads for Help as Migrant Saga Continues

The local migrant crisis enters its next chapter with New York City Mayor Eric Adams turning to the courts for help managing the seemingly never-ending flow of migrants, while a group of Hudson Valley hotels has filed suit against the counties whose state of emergency prevents them from housing asylum seekers.

With more than 60% of New York’s counties issuing declaring a state of emergency, Adams has found himself struggling to shelter over 90,000 asylum seekers. NBC News reported that Adams asked a deputy chief administrative judge for New York City courts to pause the city’s “right to shelter” obligation, which requires New York to provide temporary housing to any homeless person at their request. Established in 1981, the rule has never been tested as it has in the past year, and other large cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco do not have similar obligations.

“It is in the best interest of everyone, including those seeking to come to the United States, to be upfront that New York City cannot single-handedly provide care to everyone crossing our border,” said the mayor, adding, “Being dishonest about this will only result in our system collapsing, and we need our

government partners to know the truth and do their share.”

Adams had previously sought assistance from both the state and federal governments. He dismissed a $30 million offer of assistance from the White House as being just a drop in the bucket, noting that New York City has already spent over a billion dollars to house asylum seekers. The mayor projected that the cost of sheltering the unfettered flow of migrants will likely rise to well over $4 billion.

The Journal News reported that the owners of five hotels in Rockland, Orange and Dutchess counties, including the Armoni Inn and Suites in Orangeburg, filed suit in federal court in White Plains last week. Alleging that the emergency orders that prevent their clients from housing asylum seekers are unconstitutional, the suit charges the counties with unlawfully interfering with their contracts with New York City, depriving them of their rights to due process and aggressively targeting them with actions that can potentially destroy their businesses.

Rockland County Executive Ed Day, who has been relentless in his refusal to allow asylum seekers to be housed locally, was equally critical of the lawsuit.

“Putting profit above people, hotels are now challenging these orders across municipalities, ignoring the fact that hotels and motels cannot legally operate as shelters as it violates not only local zoning law, but also New York State rules and regulations for shelters,” said Day.

Larger Store and New Office Space as City Approves Paperific Rezoning

Big changes are coming to 38th Street, with the City Council voting to approve a zoning change for Paperific Supermarket that will allow for a four-story building that will be home to an expanded supermarket and commercial space, with underground parking for 63 cars.

BoroPark24 reported that the City Council approved the request for R6B zoning on May 25. When completed, the building will have 103,512 square feet of space that will be home to offices and a larger Paperific store.

According to the City Council, the zoning change will result in 400 permanent jobs at the site.

TSA Expands PreCheck To Include Underage Teens Traveling With Parents

Flying with teenagers is going to be a lot simpler for parents enrolled in Transportation Security Administration’s PreCheck program under a new rule affecting kids ages thirteen to seventeen.

Until now, parents who were enrolled in PreCheck could bring children ages twelve and under with them on expedited airport security lines at no charge, reported The Points Guy. Those with older kids were left with a choice of having to accompany them on the standard security lines, sending their underage teens alone on regular security lines, or enrolling their children in PreCheck, at a cost of $78 for five years.

A TSA spokesperson told FOX Business that the change was made to facilitate travel for low-risk travel, allowing TSA personnel to “focus greater attention to high-risk passengers in standard lanes.”

In addition to providing access to faster pre-flight lines, passengers with PreCheck are spared the inconvenience of having to take off their shoes and remove liquids and large electronic items such as laptops from their bags when passing through security. In order to take advantage of those benefits, travelers must remember to include their known traveler number on every flight reservation booked and to enter their names on the reservation exactly as it appears on their TSA Trusted Traveler account.

TSA does reserve the right to randomly exclude children ages thirteen to seventeen from receiving PreCheck status on their boarding passes, which would require them to use the regular security lines. The program is currently available at more than 200 airports in the United States.

CHAPTER 8

Recap: In front of their classmates, Chevi taunts Fraidy about her messy house. Mr. Gabioff and Shuli Nieder conduct a meeting that fills Riva with dread — and extends far too long.

The kiosk was hushed when Lani walked in. The only sounds punctuating the stillness were the peckpeck-peck of fingers on keyboards, a soft cough, someone whispering, and the printer sputtering out a paper.

The curtains were closed around some of the computer booths, but there were plenty of desks still available. Early noon was a quieter time at the kiosk, with most people at work or engaged in their individual routine. It got busier later, when teachers stopped in on the way home from school, and then when the kollel yungeleit were out for bein hasedorim

Lani parked Shifra’s stroller near one of the desk partitions, sat down on the swivel chair, and logged into her account. She wasn’t there to shop this time. She was there to check her emails. Nechama Bornstein had sent her a draft for a new ad for Break In, and the graphic designer was waiting

for Lani’s comments.

It was high time for this ad change. A business, Lani knew, could never just be. “You’re either building it or breaking it,” Eva Troy had explained to her when Lani had consulted with her before the birth of her breakfast business. “You’ll reach a point where you’ll feel like, okay, great, things are going smoothly, I think I did it. And that’s where entrepreneurs make their biggest mistake. They sit back and relax.”

Lani had started making just that mistake. Orders had been pretty consistent for a while, with some weeks a little busier than others, but more or less predictable. Without realizing it, she’d come to rely on the steadiness of the income – and grew complacent about it. Now, after looking back at her order records of the last few weeks, it had become perturbingly apparent: Business had slowed.

No, she wouldn’t sit back and relax. She needed her business to grow, not

decline. She needed the number of orders that came in each week to increase, maybe even to the extent that she’d need to hire help to keep up with the demand. They needed the money now more than ever.

“A new ad should be a good start,” she’d told Chaim Tzvi.

Chaim Tzvi had been uncertain. “This graphics girl charges a fortune for her work. Isn’t this throwing good money after bad?”

But Lani had insisted. “You need to spend money in order to earn money. My current ad is pathetic, and it’s running week after week in three different papers. I mean, I wouldn’t even order from myself if I saw that ad.”

Now she logged into her email and sure enough, there was Nechama’s message. She opened it and clicked on the PDF to preview it. Hmm.

It was… well. Not bad, but also not wow. There was a little too much going on, no singular focal point, and she wasn’t sure she liked the copy. Break in with a smile — no, she didn’t want her name in the catchphrase, and also, these words didn’t say much. She needed something sharper, maybe a play on words or something, and also, the words needed an immediately obvious call to action.

A cellphone rang at one of the desks in the kiosk. A man answered, keeping his voice low, but considering how quiet it was in the room, it was still impossible to block out his conversation. “We don’t have a choice, we’ll have to pay to expedite it,” Lani heard him say. Even from his low voice, she was able to detect

the stress, the weight of worry that bogged him down.

She had no idea what he was referring to. Expedite what? A passport? A job? Zooming in and out of the ad in front of her, she was struck by the reality that every person goes around with their own little pack of worries. Like these rows of desks, people may look similar from the outside, but behind those partitions, each person holds up their own world, carries their own hopes and dreams, and races to achieve their individual goals.

She hit reply on the email and started typing. A compliment first — you always sandwiched critique with nice words. Then she listed a number of details she wanted Nechama to change.

The door opened, and Lani heard two women enter, lowering their voices to fit the muted atmosphere in the kiosk. They chose the desk right in front of Lani, and from their conversation, it seemed they had come to shop for summer clothing for their kids.

More people. More concerns.

Lani reread her email and sent it off. She was about to log out of her email account when she figured she’d check the email address she and Chaim Tzvi used for technical stuff, such as bills and banking.

There were two unread messages that didn’t look important. She didn’t open them.

Right before those was another message, which had come in just a few hours before. It was read, which meant that Chaim Tzvi had already seen it. The email was from Leo Grossman.

HER FINGERS WERE CLAMMY ON THE MOUSE AS SHE CLICKED OPEN. IMMEDIATELY, A SINGLE WORD HIT HER EYES

Subject: Re: Loan application prescreening

Her fingers were clammy on the mouse as she clicked open. Immediately, a single word hit her eyes: Declined.

Chaim Tzvi didn’t answer the phone, which could mean just about anything. He could be learning, meeting with a client, maneuvering his way through traffic, or… who knows? Sleeping?

Or maybe his phone battery had simply died.

It certainly didn’t mean he was avoiding her.

Lani didn’t try him again. Let him call back when he saw her missed call. She had stuff to take care of meanwhile.

But grocery shopping turned out to be pretty impossible to take care of when her mind wasn’t there. She found herself walking down an aisle looking for something, but repeatedly forgetting what that something was.

If they couldn’t get a construction loan, where did that leave them?

She knew where. In their tiny, ugly basement apartment.

Her imagination traveled with horrible speed, taking her to shared closets with rusty sliding doors, bursting with clothing and toys and things, children sleeping doubledup or on blankets on the floor, teens pouting about not having space to invite friends, Pesach sedorim with married couples squished around a folding table in a dingy, muggy basement. She saw herself sitting at the table with her head down, dirty supper plates and homework and toys and people all around her. Her kids playing loudly, screaming loudly, being loudly, all over her head. Her head pounded, she was choking, suffocating.

She turned into the cleaning supplies aisle, put a bottle of Windex into her wagon.

The images continued flashing, now playing in reverse, taking her back to her own childhood home. Only her parents, Riva and herself in their neat, spacious house. Lots of space to get lost, too much space. It’s

GLOW WITH NATURE OrganicFacials by Maria

so quiet all the time, and she feels that itch for people, for a family.

When I grow up, I’m going to have a large family, she’d always secretly dreamed.

Hashem had blessed her with sweet children. All she wanted now was the space to raise them.

All she wanted was the space to be

She put the Windex bottle back onto the shelf. What was wrong with her? She had just bought Windex the week before. She definitely didn’t need a spare bottle at home. There was no room for spare anything in the apartment.

Chaim Tzvi still hadn’t returned her call by the time she left the supermarket. She’d planned on making a stop at the hosiery store — Shana was down to two pairs of un-ripped tights — but she didn’t have the head to decide between sizes and brands.

They would have to cancel the kitchen order.

They would have to cancel the tiles.

They would have to cancel Andy.

Their dream house — it had all been a house of cards.

Back home, she strapped Shifra into the highchair with a banana, just as OZ and Simcha’s bus honked. After settling the boys with Clics — at her feet, where else? — she made a large coffee and sat down to clear her mind. She didn’t take any of her usual treats to go with her coffee, no chocolate or cake. She just let the bitter brew fill her.

She was still sitting over her coffee fifteen minutes later when the door opened.

It was her girls, already home from school.

There went the last remnants of her space.

Malky and Shana went to their room, while Chevi dumped her briefcase on the floor, in middle of the spilled Clics, in the two feet of space between the table and the counter. OZ

immediately got mad and started kicking her, and Chevi stuck out her tongue at him.

“Please, Chevi,” Lani admonished. “Put your briefcase in the closet.”

Chevi looked at her sourly. “Soon.”

What was up with this kid? What was this attitude?

Before Lani had a chance to confront her, the door opened again, and she heard Chaim Tzvi’s voice. He didn’t come inside, just stood at the threshold, talking to someone on the phone.

She wasn’t far away and could make out the words. “Not more than a few months. Let’s say four or five, tops six.” A pause.

“Because then we’ll be able to refinance.”

Lani grew alert. He was talking about a loan. Who was he talking to?

A combination of both curiosity and guilt — she had no right eavesdropping on his conversations — made her stand up and walk to the door. Chaim Tzvi saw her and motioned for her to wait a minute.

Chevi, who had followed her to the door, stood around, drawing some pattern with her foot on the floor.

At that moment, Lani had had it. She wanted to follow what Chaim Tzvi was saying, she wanted to — had to —

talk to her husband. Chevi wasn’t doing anything wrong, but for some reason, it felt like she was. Her presence was stifling her.

“Could you, like, go do your homework or something?” Lani snapped.

Chevi brought her feet together and stared at Lani. “I did it already. On the bus.”

Seriously!

How do you tell your kid to get lost?

Chaim Tzvi hung up the phone. “Hi, how are you?” he said, taking off his hat and jacket.

“Well,” Lani said pointedly.

If he felt cornered, he didn’t let on. There was a peeling beige couch that had been in the basement when they’d bought the house, pushed against the wall beneath the front window of the dining room. Chaim Tzvi kicked his shoes off, sat down on that couch, and turned his attention right back to his phone.

“Well?” Lani repeated, this time making the question in her voice more obvious.

He looked up. “Well what?”

She threw an exasperated look at Chevi. The girl appeared oblivious. She went over to the couch and sat down.

She’s your daughter. She lives here. She’s allowed to be here.

Okay, this kid was nine years old. She wouldn’t understand what they were talking about anyway.

“Tell me about the loan,” she said.

“What about it?”

Lani was quiet. He didn’t know that she knew. Did he plan on keeping the information from her?

Chaim Tzvi uncrossed his legs. “The loan Grossman was working on was declined.”

I know.

She waited for him to say more. To tell her it would be okay, that he was working on other leads, that they could appeal the bank’s decision.

But he didn’t offer any possible alternatives or words of chizuk. Instead, he yawned, a great big sigh, and the basement apartment felt more cramped and airless than ever before.

MAKING SENSE OF THE MARKETS III OF IV

BUY LOW, SELL HIGH DVORA FREIMARK

We’ve talked a little about stocks and bonds, and discussed some basic economic theories. But the question that most people ask is, “How can I make money investing?”

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a fail-safe answer to that million-dollar question? Listen up, because here it is: Buy low, sell high — not necessarily in that order That’s so simple that it’s almost not helpful. Obviously, if you buy 100 shares of stock at 10½, then you’d like to sell those shares at a higher price than you paid. That’s a good way to make money, right? Oh, and you probably pay a commission when you buy and sell your stock, so you’ll need to factor in that cost, too.

HOW CAN YOU SELL HIGH BEFORE YOU BUY LOW?

You can buy stock at 10½ and, when it goes up, sell it at 15. But how can you sell a stock at 15 and then buy it at 10½?

If I’m baking a cake and realize that I’ve run out of sugar, I might borrow a bag from my neighbor. I don’t pay her for the sugar; instead, I’ll buy an extra bag the next time I’m at the store, and I’ll return that.

Selling a stock that you don’t own — also called selling short, or shorting the stock — works the same way. You borrow the stock (actually, your brokerage house does that

for you). And later, you’ll have to cover what you borrowed by buying it.

WHY WOULD SOMEONE SELL SHORT?

If you think a stock is going to go up in price, you might buy it. If you think a stock is going down in price, you might sell it now, hoping to buy it later at a lower price.

ISN’T THAT RISKY?

It can be. You can lose money if the stock goes up and you have to buy it at 15 dollars a share when you sold it at 10½ dollars a share. That’s not good. But if the stock goes up and you have to buy it back at $35 a share, you lose a lot of money. That’s even worse!

IS THERE A WAY TO LIMIT THE POTENTIAL LOSS?

Oh, yes. Options are one way to do that. Professionals can make money with option strategies, whether the market moves up, down, or not much in either direction.

THAT SOUNDS COMPLICATED!

If that sounds complicated to you, don’t go there! You shouldn’t have to spend all day — or even every day — checking your investments. In fact, your best investment strategy is probably to invest for the long term — mean-

Options give you the right to either buy or sell a stock (or other item) at a predetermined price. Puts give you the right to sell (put) a stock to someone else at a specific price. Calls give you the right to purchase (call) a stock at a specific price (known as the strike price).

If a stock is selling at 10 ½ and you own puts at 15, then you have the right to sell stock to someone at that price. These puts are in the money – meaning, you can make money by exercising them. If the stock is selling at 16 and you own puts at 15, your options are out of the money and you will not want to exercise them.

If the stock is selling at 10 ½ and you own calls at 8, then you can exercise the calls, which are in the money. If your calls have a strike price of 11, they’re out of the money and you will not exercise them.

If you sold stock short at 10 ½, and you’d like to limit your risk, you can purchase calls with an exercise price of 12. Then, even if the stock goes up to 15, you’ll lose only 1 ½ points per share when you exercise your options and buy the stock at 12, instead of having to buy it at 15.

GRAD SMASH

GELLY WEINGARTEN

Hardworking grads everywhere deserve confetti and sparkles to come raining down on their big day. Make it happen for them with these celebratory recipes!

Sponsored by:

All ingredients listed in this week’s recipes are available for purchase at Breadberry

GRADUATION CHOCOLATE SMASH

Treat your grad to an all-out festive celebration with this showstopping centerpiece.

INGREDIENTS

1 (10 oz.) bar of baking chocolate Candies, to fill the mold

SUPPLIES

7” silicone hemisphere pan

7” silicone square tray mold

8” round piece of cardboard

DIRECTIONS

1. Melt the chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave.

2. Pour two-thirds of the chocolate into the round mold. Make sure there’s a thick layer on all sides of this “bowl” so it won’t crack when removed from the mold. For best results, brush another layer of chocolate on the sides, turning over the mold and letting the chocolate drip down to thicken the sides further. Freeze the mold to harden the chocolate.

3. Repeat this step with the square mold, except here there’s no need to flip the mold.

4. When the chocolate “bowl” has hardened, trim the edges with a knife so they’re even with the mold. Repeat with the square mold. Remove the silicon molds.

5. Fill most of the chocolate “bowl” with candies or the filling of your choice. You can include a graduation gift or money as an exciting surprise!

6. Heat an empty frying pan on a flame.

7. Hold the chocolate carefully, like a bowl filled with candies.

8. Turn over the hot frying pan, and place it on the rim of the “bowl” for a moment to melt the edges slightly. Quickly stick the round piece of cardboard onto the “bowl” so the cardboard seals the “bowl” shut.

9. Turn over the “bowl” so the cardboard is now its base.

10. Add a little melted chocolate on top to glue the square onto the half-ball.

11. Add a tassel, and decorate to your liking!

CONGRATS PEANUT CHEW POPS

INGREDIENTS

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup sugar

1 cup light corn syrup

3½ to 4 cups crisp rice cereal

COATING

20 oz. chocolate of your choice, to coat Small candies, to decorate

DIRECTIONS

1. Mix together all ingredients except the crisp rice cereal in a pot set over a medium flame. Mix well.

2. As soon as the mixture starts to bubble at the edges, turn off the flame.

3. Add the crisp rice and mix.

4. Allow the peanut chews to cool for 3 minutes.

5. Wear heat-proof gloves as you fill pop molds with the mixture.

6. Push pop sticks into the molds while simultaneously pressing down on the peanut-chew mixture to keep it smooth.

7. Let the peanut chews cool, then place them in the freezer to harden.

8. Remove the peanut-chew pops from the freezer and place on parchment paper.

9. Melt the chocolate of your choice in a tall cup or glass.

10. Dip each peanut-chew pop into the melted chocolate until it’s fully coated. Place it onto the parchment paper to dry. Repeat until all the pops are coated.

11. Decorate to your liking.

The Legend of Jona and the Whale tells the story of a man who disobeys God's orders and tries to run away from his responsibilities. In punishment, God sends a great storm and Jona is swallowed by a whale. While inside the whale, Jona repents and prays to God for forgiveness. Eventually, the whale spits Jona out onto dry land and he fulfills his mission.

When you hear the word ribbis, you might assume that it’s something that applies to banks, businessmen and anyone else who might give another party a loan. Can it really be relevant for you in your life as a parent, neighbor and friend?

Surprisingly enough, ribbis is a concept that may apply more often than you might think. Read the below scenarios to see just how relevant these halachos are to your daily life.

CHAYA BLUSTEIN

In conjunction with Rabbi Chaim Friedman of Beis Hora’ah L’hilchos Ribbis

A CLOSER LOOK AT COMMON SCENARIOS

The Egg Extravaganza

“Oh, no!” Ruchi says as she opens the pink egg carton. “There are only three eggs left, and this cake calls for six.” She looks dolefully at the creamed oil and sugar in the mixing bowl and then down at her stained house clothes.

There is no way she can run to the corner grocery like this. Instead, she’ll have to borrow from the Weisses on the first floor.

She runs down the steps and knocks on the door.

“Hi!” she says breathlessly as Chevy Weiss opens the door. “Can I borrow three eggs for a cake?”

“Sure!” Chevy brings a carton labeled “Large Eggs” to the door and lets Ruchi pick out three.

“I’ll return them tomorrow,” Ruchi calls over her shoulder.

After the next day’s grocery run, Ruchi plucks three eggs out of a new carton. But just as she is about to return the eggs, she notices that the carton says in bold letters “Extra Large Eggs.”

QUESTION:

Chevy’s carton had clearly said “Large Eggs.” Is Ruchi allowed to return extralarge eggs instead of the large eggs she borrowed, or would that be ribbis?

ANSWER:

Yes, Ruchi may return three extra-large eggs in place of the large eggs she borrowed.

This is because of the heter called “halva’os ketanos she’ein shecheinim makpidim zeh lazeh.” Small differences when repaying a loan on which neighbors aren’t makpid aren’t considered ribbis

To qualify for this heter, the loan has to be small, and the difference not easily recognizable. Additional examples of loans that fit into this category would be: borrowing a cucumber and returning a slightly bigger one, borrowing a cup of milk and filling the cup slightly more when returning the milk, or borrowing a handful of tissues and returning a slightly larger stack. If the difference is easily recognizable, such as returning a full cup of milk in place of a half a cup, that presents a problem of ribbis. To apply that to the original example, let’s imagine that Ruchi had borrowed a full carton of large eggs. If she had then returned a carton of extra-large eggs, which is clearly recognizable as such since it says so on the carton, then that would mean returning an item with ribbis

SCENARIO 2:

The Iffy Freeze Pop

It’s a boiling hot day. Sruly and Nachman come home, sweaty and tired, and Sruly goes straight to the freezer and takes a freeze pop.

Problem is, it’s the only one left, and now there’s nothing left for Nachman. Little Nachman starts crying.

“Mooommy!” he wails. “Sruly took the last freeze pop and now there’s nothing left for me! And Sruly already had a freeze pop today, and I didn’t!”

Mommy comes to see what’s going on, and she sees that Nachman’s right. Sruly did take the last freeze pop, even though he already had one that day.

“Sruly,” Mommy asks, “give me the freeze pop so I can give it to Nachman. He’s only four, and you’re already six. Then, tomorrow, when I buy a new pack of freeze pops, I’ll give you back two blue freeze pops right away. Okay?”

QUESTION:

Is Mommy allowed to offer Sruly a reward in exchange for lending her the freeze pop until the next day?

ANSWER:

Even though the child in this scenario is a katan, the mother should not return anything more than a single freeze pop in exchange for Sruly giving her his. This includes giving back two, offering a bigger frozen treat or a better flavor.

SCENARIO 3:

The Broken Bike

Duvy’s mother is watching him ride his bike outside when she notices that the bike looks a little too small for him.

“It looks like Duvy needs a new bike,” she remarks to her neighbor, who’s also watching her little children ride down the street.

“Oh, do you want to borrow my Chaim’s bike?” her neighbor immediately offers. “It’s his bike from last year, not in perfect condition, but with great training wheels that I think Duvy will like.”

“That would be great! Thank you!”

Duvy’s mother offers Duvy the neighbor’s bike. Duvy is thrilled with the big boy bike, first riding slowly as he gets used to it, then starting to zip down the street.

Maybe he went a little too fast, or maybe a garbage can was just in the wrong place, but suddenly, Duvy and the bike are sprawled across the pavement. After making sure that Duvy’s okay (he’s just bruised), Duvy’s mother looks at the bike. That’s when she sees that the training wheels are completely twisted out of shape, and that the rest of the bike is damaged too.

“Don’t worry,” she tells her neighbor as she brings back the damaged bike. “I’ll buy you a new bike with training wheels.”

QUESTION:

Is Duvy’s mother allowed to repay her neighbor with a new bike in place of the old one she borrowed?

ANSWER:

Yes, this is allowed. Hilchos ribbis don’t apply to the question in this scenario, because this is a different kind of borrowing. Borrowing an item to use in which you plan to return the same exact item is called she’alah, not halva’ah Halva’ah means taking a loan, in which you use what you borrow and pay back its equivalent with a different item (e.g., borrowing a cup of milk, which you’ll return later with different milk).

Hilchos ribbis apply only to scenarios of halva’ah, and not to she’alah. This means that if someone borrows an expensive item to use and returns it along with a cake as a thank-you for lending that valuable item, that would be perfectly okay since ribbis does not apply at all.

SCENARIO 4:

The Tomato Taker

Perri waves to her neighbor Devoiry as Devoiry passes by.

“Are you on your way to the grocery?” she asks. At Devoiry’s nod, Perri continues, “Would you be able to buy me a box of grape tomatoes? I wanted to make salad for supper, but I’m missing the tomatoes.”

Devoiry easily agrees and goes on her way.

She returns a few minutes later with bulging bags. She extracts the grape tomatoes from one of them and hands the box to Perri.

“How much was it?” Perri asks.

“$1.99,” Devoiry answers.

“Okay, I’ll be over soon with the money.”

Perri knocks on Devoiry’s door a few minutes later, a five-dollar bill in hand. “Keep the change,” she says as she hands the five-dollar bill to Devoiry. “It’s a present.”

QUESTION:

Is Perri allowed to return the money she owes Devoiry along with the extra change?

ANSWER:

No, Perri is not allowed to return more money than the tomatoes cost Devoiry. Saying it’s a present doesn’t help matters at all.

In general, in hilchos ribbis, there is absolutely no concept of saying, “It’s a present.” Returning a loan together with a present is exactly the issur of ribbis! Therefore, this statement does nothing but reinforce that Perri is actually paying back ribbis in this scenario. There is a way that Perri can give Devoiry extra money in exchange for doing her the favor. This would be called paying s’char tircha, or paying her for the work she did. If Devoiry had to do any work at all, such as picking the grape tomatoes or going to another aisle to find them, Perri can specify that she’s giving the extra change to Devoiry as payment for the work she did in buying Perri the grape tomatoes. However, this has to be true. If getting the tomatoes involved no work for Devoiry, Perri cannot say this. She can’t pay Devoiry back for the favor, only for the work involved.

SCENARIO 5:

The Babysitting Band

Faigy has a sister-in-law’s wedding this week, and she’s desperate to find a babysitter to watch her little girl so she can enjoy the wedding while her Shainy gets a good night’s sleep. It’s a hectic season, so none of her usual babysitters is available. Then Faigy hits on a brilliant idea. She dials her friend Henny. “Hi, Henny,” she says. “I just thought of a brilliant idea. You have your brother’s wedding in two weeks, right? And my sister-in-law’s wedding is this coming week. There are, like, absolutely no babysitters to be found. What do you say if we swap: You babysit my Shainy the night I have a wedding, and I babysit your two little kids the night that you have a wedding?”

QUESTION:

Is Faigy allowed to return the babysitting Henny does for her by babysitting for Henny’s two children?

ANSWER:

If the return babysitting is harder than the first babysitting job, then this is a problem of ribbis

Henny will be babysitting one child, while Faigy is returning the favor by babysitting two children. That means she is returning more than she received.

In such a scenario, the friends should either pay each other, or specify that they are not returning the babysitting to each other, but rather say that they have the option not to return the favor at all.

This scenario also applies to teachers who swap periods instead of finding a sub. If the jobs they are swapping are not equal in value, and the second job is more “expensive” for any reason, this will also run into ribbis difficulties.

Awareness:

When borrowing something from another party, offering a “thank you” may present a problem in ribbis Rather, the one borrowing should say something like “Tizku l’mitzvos!” instead.

PENCIL DRAWER

In the eyes of a kid, growing up takes way too long. It seems like the big people in your life are only letting you grow up by tiny bits at a time. Now you’re old enough for hard candy. Now you’re old enough to ride your bike down the street. Now you’re old enough for a later bedtime.

And when finally, by the skin of your baby teeth, you grow up, you discover that many, many parts of adulthood are learned not by osmosis, but through the wondrous process called trial and error. So it is with the business of neighboring.

I’ve been privileged to recently become a Neighbor* in Chestnut Ridge, New York.

I got scrumptious chocolate-chip cookies and lemon squares and fruit pie. I got friendly hellos in the street and friendly little faces in my snack cabinet. And I also got a host of self-exploration work as I was left to ponder if I am as good a neighbor, in return, to the wonderful ones among whom I’m privileged to reside.

Really, how does one go about this very adult matter of being a Neighbor?

I nosed around a bit with some other Neighbors to find out, because I’m still learning. As a cousin of mine is known to proclaim: “I’m talking to myself!”

The single value that spoke loudest and was mentioned almost by everyone in the entire varied group I spoke to was privacy

Ah, privacy. The backbone of a successful neighborhood. The value of pride in our nation. Something everyone craves but at times struggles to provide. Yocheved, who lives in a bustling condo, puts it best: “It’s natural and inevitable that you think and judge when you see things. But no one needs your comments.”

We Yidden are known to have superpowers, and let squelching curiosity be one of them as we cleave to Hillel’s golden rule to love thy neighbor as thyself.

Below, neighbors spanning the tristate kindly shared dos, don’ts, and the perks and challenges of living in their particular housing setup. Here you may snoop to your heart’s content!

DO’S AND DUES

Rivka, resident of a two-family home in Boro Park and matriarch of a large family, says, “Even if you don’t know your neighbors well, greet them whenever you see them.” It’s how you build up the block culture, she explains, and also a small, easy behavior that’ll deliver years of happy dividends.

As for the kids, Rivka reminisces about those early years and advises setting up playdates. When her kids were young, the mothers would take turns watching each other’s kids while another mother ran inside to make supper.

Leeba, a young mother in a private home in Monsey, says that she’s easy about telling neighbors not to return things they borrow. “I love it when people tell me not to give them back what I’ve borrowed. Small things always go back and

*Neighbor, noun: One who has shed the shadow identity of a young couple flitting in and out of their apartment, heading to and from jobs and meals at their parents. Also, one who has already been spotted in casual headdress and has borrowed small and essential foodstuffs from other Neighbors.

PRIVACY. THE BACKBONE OF A SUCCESSFUL NEIGHBORHOOD.

forth, so I tell people to just keep it.”

She also sees it as important that kids’ playdates go both ways. “I like to see my kids in action, their middos, how much they fight. If I send my kids to you, do send yours back to me.”

And wow, this gesture is heartwarming: “After I moved into my new home,” Leeba continues, “I sent chocolates and a poem to all the neighbors who put up with my construction, thanking them for helping us build this bayis ne’eman. I also sent mishloach manos to them while my house was still being built, and called to ask if they had any concerns or issues. After all, they put up with early-morning noise and ruined grass. We had that replanted, of course, but I felt I should acknowledge it personally.”

Another Monsey mother, Yocheved of the loaded condo, says to call your kids in at a decent hour to make it easier for those who might give their own mothers a hard time if they see their friends out late. She also asks parents to teach their kids to throw away their food wrappers. (Yes, Yocheved, I know what the wind picks up when it ruffles my lawn!)

Shana lives in a bustling apartment building in Williamsburg and advises, “Lend things gladly.” Another wise nugget: “When a neighbor borrows from you, borrow from her in return. No one likes to feel one-sided about this.”

NEIGHBORLY NO’S

As much as we know what we like, no’s might strain the delicate ties of neighborship and keep us from shining at that golden rule.

Rivka maintains, “Don’t make an issue of petty things. Let’s say a kid’s freeze pop dripped all over your steps, or he rode his bike over your kid’s foot. You don’t want to be that difficult neighbor; don’t take the not-so-lovable kids personally.”

She adds something that involves reining in our mamma bear instincts: Don’t get involved in the kids’ fights. “Be diplomatic,” she says. “If it’s important to bring something up, don’t

“WHEN A NEIGHBOR BORROWS FROM YOU, BORROW FROM HER IN RETURN. NO ONE LIKES TO FEEL ONE-SIDED ABOUT THIS.”

let strong emotions come out. Remember that kids don’t do things on purpose and are not out to get you. And if all else fails,” she ends practically, “send them home.”

Leeba is concise at first: “Keep your nose to yourself. Keep your eyes to yourself. Just keep to yourself.” Then she elaborates on what else may peeve her: “Don’t give my kids food without asking me. Maybe I’m making fleishig even if it’s Wednesday, or I simply don’t want my kids to be stuffed before supper.”

My humble addition is to become familiar with the neighbors your kids spend a lot of time with, learn their preferences, and make your own known. What time do they usually eat? When do their kids snack? Make sure your kids are not hungry before going off to play so they’re less likely to give Mrs. Neighbor hungry eyes.

Leeba adds something that touches on the delicate and sensitive that might not always occur to us as we open our homes to innocuous little sweeties, and that is: “Don’t make Yiddishkeit decisions for the neighbors. There are so many nuances in how people choose to raise their kids. Be extra kind, and think about what the other person would appreciate, or not. Like one woman,” she continues, “who applied makeup in front of her neighbor’s little boy. His mother does not use cosmetics, and he came home with a million questions. Don’t assume that everyone eats what you eat, watches what you watch, or listens to what you allow.”

Yocheved aptly describes the natural inclination to be curious, but cautions against it. “Don’t say things like, ‘Someone got a package!’ or, ‘Ooh, you got something new?’ or, ‘Wow, someone treated themselves!’”

Like many others, she also doesn’t believe in getting involved in young neighbors’ rival-

HOW TO NEIGHBOR WELL

See an ambulance at the neighbor? Take your kids into the house and say Tehillim. You can also pack a bag of food for the hospital stay. — Chevy, single-family home

Say yes to favors even when it isn’t easy. Take a kid off the bus, and send lunch or dinner before a simcha or something difficult. You give and you get; it’s always worth it. — Fraidy, singlefamily home

Don’t make noise on Shabbos afternoon. And if you’re always asking your neighbors to do or not do certain things, you shouldn’t do them either. And don’t ask questions! If they want to tell you something, they’ll tell you! — Laya, multi-family home

Smile at and compliment your neighbors’ kids. We expect our own parents to love us unconditionally, but when an unobligated neighbor’s mommy gives you extra attention, you feel ten feet tall and remember it for the rest of your life. — Chana, single-family home

Offer to take in the mail if you know your neighbor will be away for a bit. — Sosy, single-family home

I’m a private person by nature, and I live in a house with paper-thin walls in a very populated neighborhood. I keep my private life to myself by not oversharing. A good filter makes good neighbors. — Devoiry, multi-family home

A nice tip: My grandmother would send her kids over to new neighbors to borrow

something so they’d feel like givers already. — Chevy, single-family home

Don’t snoop. — Tzivia, semiattached home

Don’t leave the kids’ riding toys strewn all over where they’re in the way of cars. — Bini, multi-family home

Don’t send your kids over to borrow something at night without asking first. And when I see my neighbor having family time, I don’t go over with my kids or send them on their own to play. — Shaindy, single-family home

When the neighbor’s kid asks to borrow an item, make sure the mother wants it. One of my neighbors’ kids came every day for an orange, until the exasperated mother called to find out if we were giving him oranges — the kid had an intolerance to them and would itch all night! I also had two boys knock on my door to borrow a sifter. When I called the mother that I needed it back, she was so embarrassed; her kids had taken it to play in the sand, and she hadn’t had a chance to buy a new one. — Riva, semi-attached home

If your kids are playing outside, check on them periodically, and take responsibility for your children’s messes. Also, don’t block my groundlevel entrance with bikes so I can’t pass with my stroller.

— Beily, multi-family home

Don’t ask the neighbors’ kids prying questions. They may be small but they’re smart.

— Chana, single-family home

ry. “When kids fight, it stays among the kids — but when parents get involved, it becomes a fight between adults. And kids get over things much quicker than adults do.”

And another precaution from this condo resident: “Don’t sit at other people’s entrances or block the pathways with your circle of chairs.”

Shana adds a scenario that can be unique to city buildings: “Don’t stand at your peephole!” And then she drives home the point when she says not to make your peephole observances obvious from your comments that come later! “And of course,” she finishes, “Don’t leave litter at your neighbor’s door.”

NEIGHBORS BY DESIGN

Adjoining Angst

You may be deliriously happy with your housing setup, itching to move away, or fall somewhere in between, but I daresay we each have at least one tiny little con on our kvetch-list.

Rivka is quick to label her block “the best.” “We’re all in twofamily houses, and there’s beautiful shalom bayis among us.”

Challenges can arise over responsibility for maintenance, like garbage collection and snow removal, she admits. “But these things were rarely an issue on our block and it’s all a matter of goodwill and looking away from little things as a zechus for shalom.” In a heartwarming example of neighborly trust, Rivka says that some of her neighbors have kept copies of each others’ keys to be able to move their neighbors’ cars as needed in their shared driveways.

Leeba talks about the nights when her husband is away and she feels alone and scared in her house with just her kids. “There’s less security when you live privately,” she says.

And Yocheved, whom I know as a perennially friendly face, shares that living with so many people can get hard. “You’re not always in the mood of being present and smiling at, like, five hundred people, and being nice every time you walk out in the morning.”

Shana concurs. “You don’t have privacy. You can’t talk too loudly, sing too loudly. You can never feel totally free in an apartment building.”

THE NICEST THING MY NEIGHBOR EVER DID FOR ME

Made a challah dough on the day of my wedding so I could take challah. She brought it over, I made the bracha, and then she came to pick it up. No mess, just pure chesed. — Chevy

Informed me that she’d be making a kugel and roast for my family for Rosh Hashanah when I had a newborn at home. And she wasn’t even home that Yom Tov! — Chana

When I moved in, they knocked on my door with delicious cakes and cut-up fruits. — Sari

Had kids my kids’ ages! — Miriam

My neighbor saw big trucks and half of my roof open while driving her kids to school. Without asking what we were building, she simply said, “Rivky, I know the struggles of being home during construction. I set up my guest room with a playpen for when your baby can’t nap because of all the banging, and my house is yours, food and anything. I am out till 4 p.m. every day besides Friday and Shabbos.” It was the warmest, kindest message and felt so authentic. — Rivky

“YOU DON’T HAVE PRIVACY. YOU CAN’T TALK TOO LOUDLY, SING TOO LOUDLY. YOU CAN NEVER FEEL TOTALLY FREE IN AN APARTMENT BUILDING.”

GOOD NEIGHBORING — JUNIOR DIVISION

I sought out my young neighbors and got their sweet and most candid reports on what they do to be a good neighbor. Kids on my block, you rock!

I always share the stuff I bring out, like snacks. — Freidy, 10

I give compliments all day. — Hindy, 9

I share my stuff with my neighbors, and I play whatever they want! — Etty, 12

I give them a freeze pop when I have one, and I play very nicely. And if they want something I have, I can be mevater. — Chuna, 6

I play with them, and I am mevater. — Shevy, 5

I play nicely. — Pessy, 8

I have two ideas for what to do if your neighbor isn’t your friend: First, help him out with something like fixing his bike, and in the middle, you’ll be talking again. Also, give him a prize or snack, and you’ll be friends again. It really works; it happened to me! — Menachem, 7

I share my scooter. — Yehudis, 5

I play with them. — Zevy, 8

Note to parents: See, kids know where the line is; they’re just not always in the mood of toeing it. Normal!

Perks of the Package

On the other hand, Leeba, whose former residence was definitely more communal, exults in the fact that she “doesn’t have to pick up other people’s kids’ potato chip bags. And even more significantly, I don’t have to raise my kids like my neighbors, give freeze pops every time they do, and do bedtime when they do.”

Yocheved loves the fact that there are always people to lend you things, befriend your kids, and make friends with you.

Shana, too, loves the abundance of company for kids and adults alike. “On Friday night, the kids play in the hallway and the ladies schmooze; I don’t even have to step outside.”

Apparently, being a neighbor is a character-building gym. While it can require heavy lifting, it’s a revolving door of opportunities to form close ties, touch lives, and give and take graciously. And those efforts live on forever.

“Are you happy?” a friend asked when she visited me two months after we moved into our new home.

“Very,” I told her. “It’s just what we dreamed of.”

She looked at the old carpet, dreary paint and outdated kitchen. “Really,” I insisted. “We’re very happy here.” I leaned forward and told her the truth. “It’s because we like our neighbors.”

Living in close quarters, sharing common space, and kind of even raising your children together — neighbor relationships really matter.

STORIES OF NEIGHBORS WHO STOOD BY EACH OTHER

The Sweetest Gift of All

HADASSAH ADLER

We got our first cake from Mrs. Blum the day we moved into our new house.

It was a Bundt cake, a perfect mocha recipe, still warm from the oven. It came along with a heartwarming welcome and an effort to learn the names of all the children in our family. It was gone before Shabbos rolled around.

My children came to adore Mrs. Blum over the next few months. She always stopped to compliment them in the hallway, always commented how much they’d grown and how pretty their school projects were.

I had a baby sometime later. It was summertime, when all of my family was away in the Catskills, so there was no one around to visit me. To my surprise and delight, Mrs. Blum showed up for a visit in the hospital, along with a beautiful baby gift and a bag full of goodies for the kimpeturin I thanked her profusely. She knew I was all alone, and this gesture was exceptionally kind and thoughtful of her.

But if I thought she’d done her part sharing in our simcha, I was going to learn otherwise very soon.

While we were euphoric with our simcha, I had a hard time getting back to myself. Day and night were one big fog as I pushed myself through my exhaustion to care for the baby and the rest of the family.

On Friday, there was a knock on the door. Mrs. Blum was there with a huge tray, loaded with the most tantalizing toameha food. There was kugel and farfel, schnitzel and apple turnovers, and a container of steaming vegetable soup. Everything was cooked to perfection, packaged along with beribboned napkins and cutlery, and I didn’t realize

how hungry I’d been until I sat down to eat. The food revived me, but more than that, Mrs. Blum’s kindness uplifted my spirit.

Wow, she really went all out, I thought.

And yet, she was far from done. The next Friday she knocked on our door again, this time with a platter of assorted cakes, all fresh out of the oven. There was another knock later that day, after licht bentschen. “Send all of your kids up to my house and go to sleep,” she ordered.

By “all” she meant all, including the newborn. I tried protesting, but she was shrewd enough to realize that my protests weren’t sincere. My kids happily trooped up after her, and I was out cold before they’d even reached her house.

This scenario replayed itself the next week, and the next, and all the nexts over the following two months. Cake every Erev Shabbos, a gentle knock to invite my kids upstairs Friday night. My kids awaited both knocks, excitedly peeking at that week’s Shabbos cake, and eagerly marching up the stairs to Mrs. Blum’s apartment, where they played with her toys and sat next to her as she read books to them.

After two months of this, I declared enough. I was feeling a lot stronger, the baby had fallen into some sort of schedule, I felt guilty accepting any more help.

I bake my own cakes these days. My kids jump on the couch Friday night, so I barely get to say some Tehillim and daven Kabbalas Shabbos in peace, let alone sleep. But I’ll never forget those weeks when a neighbor took out her Bosch, gave up her own nap, and provided me with the sweetest gift possible: the experience of being cared for.

Moving Day GITTEL

The day the Schwartzes pulled up across the street and climbed out of their car, my heart sank down to my toes.

That wasn’t kind of me in the least, and the fact that I was being super judgmental didn’t make me feel any better, but it was the truth. From the way the kids all had evidence of their lunch on their clothes, to the way a random collection of junk was finding its way out of their car, I could already see this family wouldn’t be a good match with my own. Everyone knew what the inside of our house looked like; it was my claim to fame. I was proud to keep it as tidy and clean as humanly possible, and my kids were trained well, so it actually stayed that way.

Now, with one eye peeking out of the gap between our window shades, I continued watching the goings-on at the house across the street. More and more bags and piles of stuff were finding their way out of that car, and annoyingly, half of it was staying parked right there in their front yard, with a few large pieces of unrecognizable junk being placed under their front porch. As their kids spread out over the street, I had sudden visions of these bedraggled little people dropping dirty tissues on my lawn, dripping slush pops onto my gleaming kitchen floor,

BRAUN

and generally doing their best to bring disorder to the neighborhood.

But what could I do? It wasn’t like I owned the place. Resigning myself to what was coming, I turned around and headed for the kitchen. Like it or not, I had a welcome-to-the-neighborhood cake to bake.

Over the next few weeks, I slowly let my guard down, and what I learned surprised me. For all their disorganization and their irritating habit of considering their front yard a storage room of sorts — lawn mowers! strollers! sukkah boards! — the Schwartzes were wonderful people.

Their children were well mannered and polite; the parents friendly enough without encroaching on our privacy. Their home was a good one hashkafically, and I knew I could allow my children to play there. If I could ignore what their home and family members looked like, they really were great neighbors.

Then winter set in, and the outdoors turned dark and

ALL SHABBOS AND YOM TOV DRESSES AND SETS

cold. The children — ours and the Schwartzes’ — spent more and more time in each others’ homes, and I had to admit that this arrangement worked extraordinarily well. The kids played beautifully together, unlike some other disastrous friendships. When the Schwartzes were over, I knew my own kids (who knew very well how to be rowdy when it pleased them) would settle down over board games and cars. What a pleasure!

Then came Chanukah. On a whim, when I bought gifts for my kids, I also bought little trinkets — but double the amount I needed. I wanted enough for our own kids as well as for the Schwartzes.

The first night of Chanukah, I called Mrs. Schwartz, whom I already considered a friend, and invited her entire family over. I had a small game planned for the kids, and since my husband and hers were already well acquainted at this point, I told Mrs. Schwartz that I’d be providing latkes and doughnuts aplenty for both kids and adults.

After tzinding, the entire Schwartz family showed up at our door. Within five minutes, the men were sitting at the dining room table, exchanging vertlech over warm latkes, and Mrs. Schwartz, myself and all the children were settled in the kitchen playing the game I’d prepared.

That night ended up being the most enjoyable and wholesome night of all of Chanukah, and the following year, there was no doubt about it: We were going to do it again. And so we did. That year, and the following year, and the following year.

So the years went by. One day, when most of the Schwartz kids were grown, the family shared with us that they’d be moving to another city at the end of the school year. Our family was heartbroken, and the day the moving truck arrived marked a very sad farewell.

And while today the house across the street boasts a perfectly manicured lawn, one that is marvelously free of any boards or broken-down machinery, my heart still pinches every time Chanukah comes around. Quite simply, I miss my disorganized, messy, favorite neighbors.

Love in a 9x13 Pan ESTHER

FREIDMAN

What do you do when your neighbor’s toddler is diagnosed with a dreaded disease?

Well, what can you do? Because there’s a lot of things you can’t do. You can’t cure him. You can’t fix this. You can’t make it all go away.

You can’t pacify the kids who are angry that their parents are never home.

You can’t comfort a little toddler who doesn’t understand what’s happening to him.

You can’t help them get into the doctor they’re trying to reach.

You can’t make decisions for them — heartwrenching, confusing decisions that take your breath away from the pain and leave you second-guessing yourself forever.

You can’t even promise them it’s all going to be okay.

But we had to do something. They were our neighbors!

Three days after the diagnosis, on Thursday night, I called her.

“We’re sending you Shabbos,” I said. “I’m just letting you know so you won’t worry about it.”

“Don’t,” she said, in that disjointed way you talk when you’re in the antiseptic, surreal planet of a pediatric oncology ward and it’s hard to believe the rest of the world is just going about their business as usual. “I might still be in the hospital. We don’t need anything. Forget it. I’ll make a grocery order.”

“Whoever will be home will need to eat,” I said. “We’re sending you Shabbos.”

I thought I would just make double of whatever I was cooking for my own family, but everyone wanted to help. So we divided it up: Cohen made the fish, Handler made homemade challah. (Homemade challah! Is there anything more comforting than that?) Pitter sent soup, Metzger sent lokshen, Rabinowitz sent three different homemade dips, and Galinsky, who lived next door, went over on Friday morning and put up the cholent. Every neighbor

sent something, and an entire delicious Shabbos was accounted for. Even Steinmetz, who was away and only heard about the plan later, was furious that everything was already taken and insisted on sending an elaborate Shabbos party.

I didn’t want the family to have to spend the entire Friday afternoon answering the door to accept the pans of kugel/ chicken/ice cream/cake/deli roll. So I told all of my neighbors to bring it to my house. When everything was delivered, I packed it up nicely in a big box and dropped it all off at once. The kids squealed with excitement, and their father smiled wanly.

“It’s just a tiny drop in the bucket,” I told my neighbor when she called to thank me. “It’s nothing.”

“It’s not nothing,” she said. “When you’re very, very thirsty, every tiny drop counts.”

This became our routine. Every Friday morning, when I left my house at 8:30, I’d leave the front door unlocked. When I’d return about an hour later, the front table would be covered with 9x13 pans and plastic containers of fresh, homemade Shabbos food. There were foil-wrapped packages and aromatic bags on the table, on the nearby bench, on the floor. Salads, condiments, mains, sides — it was all there.

This went on week after week. We had so many eager (even insistent) volunteers that I created a two-week rotation, so everyone only cooked “their” thing every other week. Every Friday morning, I delivered the box in time for the kids to have fresh potato kugel when they got home from school. Our neighbors had a lot to juggle during that time, but at least Shabbos was taken care of.

Baruch Hashem, the little boy recovered. He’s healthy and well now, an active and beautiful cheder yingel. His mother, my neighbor, makes Shabbos on her own every week.

But sometimes when I open my front door on Friday mornings, I still see one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen: many packages and pans full of Shabbos food and love.

YOU’VE GOT MAIL!

Back in the day (like all the way back when the colonies were being settled), delivering, receiving and sending mail was a very cumbersome and complicated process. Most mail was sent via friends or merchants who were traveling. It was only in 1633 that an official postal service for the colonies was set up; a tavern in Boston was designated as the official postal site for mail coming to or going from the colonies.

In the 1800s, the states pulled themselves together and streamlined the postage process by implementing mail routes across the country. This increased access and communication between the states — but that didn’t mean people were getting their mail delivered to their mailbox. They would pick up or drop off their mail at the closest post office, which was often miles away, or they’d pay for a private mail service to deliver their mail.

In 1863, Congress passed a bill for free home mail delivery for all American residents. Some homes had individual mailboxes, but most did not. For those without, the poor mailmen would have to trek up to each house, knock, and wait until someone would open the door to take the mail. At one point, they realized they were wasting lots of time and proposed the idea of individual mailboxes for each house. In 1923, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) mandated that every household have a mailbox or mailslot at the door to receive mail (farmers out in the rural areas, whose homes were set far back from the road, had to have the mailbox at the curbside). This means that, rather shockingly, mailboxes have been required for only 100 years!

Today, the USPS delivers mail to over 142 million mailboxes daily — and it’s no longer free.

THE JOROLEMAN MAILBOX

One of the most common outdoor mailboxes is the Joroleman mailbox, known for its rectangular shape and domed top. Mailboxes went through many different designs until a USPS employee named Roy J. Joroleman came up with this design, and it stuck. The domed top was very innovative at that time. Snow and rain would often ruin the rectangular mailboxes that were popular then, and this design let the rain and snow roll off. In addition, manufacturing the mailbox was very easy and cheap. Instead of patenting the design, they shared it with many manufacturers across America for competitive sale. In 1916, this was the only mailbox that the USPS allowed for new mailbox installations.

THE RED FLAG

The red flag or stick on the side of mailboxes, officially known as the carrier signal flag, was also designed by Joroleman and was originally intended for incoming as well as outgoing mail on curbside mailboxes. Mailmen would raise it to let the residents know that they received mail so that they wouldn’t have to come out unnecessarily in bad weather if no mail had been delivered. As time went on, it started being used only by residents to let the mailmen know when there was outgoing mail to be picked up.

LARGEST MAILBOX

The tallest functional mailbox in the world, standing at a whopping 32 feet tall, is located in a little town called Casey in Illinois. And this mailbox is fully functional! Visitors can climb up a set of stairs to get into the domed mailbox and deposit their mail, which raises the red flag on the side of the mailbox. They can also take in the view of pretty much the entire town while they’re up there.

The mailbox was built by a businessman to try and attract tourists to the town, allegedly to get customers into a tea shop his wife was opening. The mailbox was completed in 2015 and has since been joined by a few other enormous structures that bring many tourists and visitors to this little town.
