What is your training and background?

Esther Deutch, SWI: I’ve worked at Petach Tikvah for seven years. I am the Assistant Director at the Boro Park offices. I attended DBT training by Dr. Charlie Swenson, MD, and I currently run two DBT groups.

Susan Weinberger, LCSW: I am an LCSW working at Pesach Tikvah for 12 years. I work with individuals and couples, at the agency and privately. I am trained in diverse modalities — CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, EFT and EMDR, to name a few.

Rochy Wilner, LMHC: I am trained in DBT and I have been using the DBT model for about 6 years now. I found that the skills learned in DBT are very concrete and easy to understand. Any person, those struggling with life challenges or those who want to enhance their every day life, can learn something to incorporate in their lives and improve daily living.

What kind of results can people expect when they join the DBT group?

Esther Deutch, SWI: While DBT was initially created for individuals who have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, many people can benefit from DBT skills, especially if they are struggling with being present in their lives, have difficulties in their relationships and have a hard time managing painful emotions. Clients learn skills to be more present in their lives and relationships, so they can handle difficult experiences more effectively and with more self compassion.

Susan Weinberger, LCSW: Practicing these skills is life altering. The DBT philosophy is also congruent to our culture and traditions. Many difficult relationships, with spouses, friends, siblings and parents, have been mended and enhanced. Doing things mindfully has brought meaning and enjoyment to day to day activities.

Rochy Wilner, LMHC: If the skills are incorporated properly and applied correctly, people can expect to live a richer life, a more meaningful life, a life of purpose and values, a life where one understand themselves and their emotions, a life of connection and reduction in negative emotions. People will also have greater connection to those around them.

Learn practical skills for a better life.

DOWN MEMORY LANE

(Re:

Back to Camp, Issue 189)

Your nostalgic article about Camp Rav Tov was very well received by my family. Even the men, who typically shy away from reading English, read it and enjoyed it immensely.

Our family’s longtime pediatrician, Dr. Aron Grushko, was the camp doctor, invited by Reb Yidel Rosenberg to be part of the camp staff. He was on call throughout the summer and worked side by side with Reb Yidel for many years. Dr. Grushko has a trove of remarkable memories from those beautiful years. He still talks about his amazement at how Reb Yidel ran the camp with almost no compensation from the parents. In one scenario he witnessed, a father handed $400 to Reb Yidel as payment for a full summer of camp for several of his children. He watched as Reb Yidel took two of those hundred dollar bills and returned them to the father. He later explained to Dr. Grushko that he knew money was very tight in that family, and he hardly had the heart to accept even $200 from him.

My husband, who was a proud camper at Camp Rav Tov during the mid to late seventies, remembers Reb Yidel regaling the children with stories for an hour after every meal. Since there were no madrichim to keep the boys occupied, this was one way he kept them from roaming the grounds without supervision for too long.

My husband claims that even in his days they used each plate twice to save the kitchen staff work. They used the top of an overturned plate for the eggs on Shabbos, and the inside of the plate for the cholent, and yes, everything tasted of soap because the plates were never washed individually but rather soaked in soapy water and then rinsed. Nevertheless, the food, which was always plentiful, was always finished to the last drop.

םינתוחמ !לשעפס

Even in the late seventies, planting beans and building Tisha B’Av chairs were still the mainstay of the boys’ “activities.” They went off grounds once during the nine weeks of camp, riding the famous green bus. My husband remembers the excitement the trip garnered, even if it was just a ride for a mile or two to an empty paved area with a flagpole in the middle. The boys enjoyed running around the flagpole several times, and then it was back onto the buses!

Although we can’t turn back the clock, and today’s children expect a lot more than these boys enjoyed, it’s important for us to stop and appreciate the conveniences our camps offer today. If those children were so happy with so little, let’s try to be even happier with so much more.

A healthy and happy summer to all!

A DECADE OF APPRECIATION

(Re: En Route, Inbox, Issue 189)

A Grateful Reader

To the person who wrote about showing appreciation to bus monitors: I absolutely agree. About ten years ago, I worked as a bus monitor. There was one mother who tipped me on Chanukah and Purim, just like she tipped the driver and presumably the rebbeim and teachers. She was the only one who acknowledged me throughout the entire year. A decade later, I still remember it with warmth.

THANKS A MILLION

(Re: Appreciation Is Invaluable, Your Say, Issue 188)

Dear Rebbi (and his wife),

Yes! We parents appreciate all the staff who dedicate their days to our precious children. Of course you deserve a thank you gift. But please consider a typical large family and how many “staff members” each child has. My three preschoolers each have three teachers, two bus drivers and two bus monitors. I value you all immensely and beg your forgiveness for only tipping you once a year on Purim. You definitely deserve more!

K.F.

A GOOD MORNING

(Re: A Wake-Up Call, Issue 188)

When I saw your Birchas Hashachar contest, I was very excited. My mornings are busy, and although I’ve tried to fit brachos into my schedule numerous times, somehow the commitment never lasted long enough. Now, with this inspiring motivation, I’m davening brachos each morning, all thanks to The Boro Park View

Thank you so much!

YOUR SAY

KASHRUS ALERT

A Young Mother

Whenever I shop in local, heimish grocery stores, I see shelves lined with beautiful fresh berries: blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and blueberries. Since I am aware that these berries carry serious shailos of tola’im and some may be impossible to clean satisfactorily, I reached out to the OU, OK, Star-K, Hisachdus and Skver for clarification. All of them replied that these berries are infested with tola’im, and even washing them well is not effective. They all require a special cleaning process.

I shared this information with a rav I consult with. A few days later, he told me that his mispallelim told him that they eat fresh berries all the time; they assume that since they’re sold in kosher supermarkets, the berries must be kosher. Apparently, many people believe that if there was a kashrus issue with a food item, a kosher store would not carry it.

I called the managers of some local groceries. They told me that they assume that consumers know and follow the required cleaning process. They also said that they carry the berries for their non-Jewish customers as well.

Therefore, I would like to make the public aware that fresh berries carried by our local kosher grocery stores require a specific cleaning process in order to be mutar to eat. Please reach out to your own rav for instructions and clarification.

Please note that the insects are clearly visible and recognizable if a mumche shows it to you once.

A Concerned Shopper

SAVE A LIFE

Warm weather is here. We’re spending more time outdoors, whether we’re in the city or in the country. I would like to remind everyone about the importance of wearing reflectors after dark. Yes, even if you’re not riding a bike. Pedestrians are very hard to see in the dark.

If you are a driver or front-seat passenger, you’ve surely experienced the fright of realizing that a person just passed in front of your car — and you only very narrowly missed him or her.

Please protect yourself and your children and wear a reflector. The four dollars it will cost you can save your life!

Call the Reflector Gemach, established l’ilui nishmas Toba Golda bas Shmuel Dovid, at 718-853-4966. If there is no answer, please leave a message. We will return your call.

Thank you,

PARSHAS CHUKAS

The Security of Unity

Why did this prompt Amalek to pursue battle?

ON HIS WAY TO CONQUER RUSSIA, Napoleon Bonaparte and his Grande Armee passed the city of Volozhin. Napoleon had heard of the great rabbi, Rav Chaim of Volozhin, zt”l, and was determined to meet him. In the middle of the night, he sent messengers to summon the Rosh Yeshivah.

The troops didn’t have a hard time finding Rav Chaim. The whole town was asleep. Besides, many of the residents had fled in light of the army’s impending arrival. But in one window, a candle glowed. The troops found Rav Chaim poring over his Gemara.

When he heard why they had come, Rav Chaim agreed to accompany the entourage back to the army’s encampment. As Rav Chaim entered Napoleon’s tent, the emperor was immediately struck by the kedushah radiating from the tzaddik’s face. Napoleon decided to discuss strategy for conquering the mighty country of Russia and ask for the Rav’s opinion.

“I’ll explain the situation with a parable,” Rav Chaim said.

Once upon a time, Rav Chaim began, there was a prince who set out on a journey in his royal carriage, drawn by four strong, stately horses. Suddenly, one of the horses got stuck in mud, and he pulled the others along with him. The coach tipped to its side, and while the coachman tried to get the horses free, they were stuck and could not extricate themselves from the mire.

Just then, a simple peasant wagon, pulled by three horses, passed. These horses got caught in the mud, too. The peasant wagon driver struck his horses once, and the prince watched in astonishment as the peasant’s horses quickly jumped out of the mud, ready to continue traveling.

How could that be? he thought enviously.

Before the wagon driver could go further, the prince ran after him. “Tell me,” he said. “What’s your secret? How did your

scrawny horses manage to get out of the mud while my fine, well-trained stallions are not able to manage it?”

“It’s simple,” said the wagon driver. “Your horses are indeed of a fine breed. They are treated well and are trained to look out for themselves. However, when you harness them all together, they are not able to direct their focus upon a single objective; each one has only itself in mind. Each horse is actually happy when the next horse falls.

“But my horses are one family — a mother and her offspring. When one suffers, the other two feel its pain. They use all of their their might and combined energy to help each other out. That’s how they got out of the mud!”

Rav Chaim continued: “Your Highness, your army is strong and mighty, well-trained and well-armed. But it has one deficiency: It has combined units from Austria, Prussia, Spain, and Italy, in addition to your Frenchmen. Each of these factions strives to be the one to earn the crown of victory. They even delight in the decline of a different unit. That’s why your army has a hard time focusing its forces on a united goal.

“The Russian Army, on the other hand, is far weaker than yours, but it consists of just one nation. And they are fighting for the protection of one country: their own. The Russian troops all feel the danger above their heads and are ready to give their lives for the cause!”

It wasn’t long before Rav Chaim’s prophetic words came true. Napoleon’s army suffered a crushing defeat in Russia. Even the greatest army cannot triumph without unity.

The Chesed L’Avraham of Radomsk explains: Amalek was aware that they would have no power over

Amalek heard that Bnei Yisroel were approaching, and went out to war against them. Rashi explains that what Amalek heard was that Aharon had passed away and that the Ananei Hakavod had departed (Bamidbar 21:1).

How did Amalek know that shalom and achdus had indeed waned in Aharon’s absence?

a united Bnei Yisroel, and therefore did not attempt to go out to battle so long as Aharon, the legendary peacemaker, was alive and the Yidden were living in harmony. However, with the passing of Aharon Hakohen, Amalek surmised that Bnei Yisroel would no longer be one united front, and therefore could be overtaken.

How did Amalek know that shalom and achdus had indeed waned in Aharon’s absence? They learned it from the disappearance of the Ananei Hakavod, which so lovingly had protected Bnei Yisroel until now.

It was not just that the Clouds of Glory came in Aharon’s merit; it was a simple case of cause and effect. The clouds had demonstrated that Bnei Yisroel was one. When that unity weakened, the clouds departed.

When Amalek heard that the clouds had disappeared, they viewed it as sufficient proof that Klal Yisroel no longer had the protection of achdus, and felt confident enough to go out to war against them.

Through acceptance and togetherness, we, too, can merit the greatest protection.

Adapted from the teachings of Rav Mordechai Freundlich, zt”l.

Did You Know?

The Amalekim remembered the last battle, when they were defeated because Moshe stood with his hands raised in tefillah. This time, they came up with a different plan. They approached the encampment dressed as Canaanim. They hoped to fool Bnei Yisroel into davening to be saved from the hands of the Canaanim, while they were in fact Amalekim.

But their dress raised doubts. They were not dark-skinned like the Canaanim, and their features looked strikingly similar to those of the Amalekim. The Yidden therefore davened to be rescued from “this nation,” without using a specific name.

Ultimately, Hashem accepted their teshuvah and tefillah

The Ananei Hakavod were absent for only a short time; they soon returned to protect Bnei Yisroel — in Moshe Rabbeinu’s merit.

Over 1 Million Honda Minivans, SUVs Recalled Over Faulty Backup Camera

Drivers of Honda’s popular Odyssey minivans, as well as some of its Pilot and Passport SUVs, may be receiving recall notices in the mail next month. The recall is due to an issue that can cause the backup cameras to malfunction.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the recall affects 1,198,280 2018–2023 Odysseys, 2019–2022 Pilots and 2019–2023 Passport models. Approximately half of the vehicles being recalled have a defective communication coaxial cable that can affect the backup cameras while in reverse gear, which can increase the risk of crash or injury.

Owners of the affected Hondas are being warned to be on the alert for popping or cracking sounds coming from their vehicles’ screens, as well as flickering images on the display.

Honda first received reports of issues regarding the display screen in February 2019. The automaker began taking steps in June 2020 to address the problem. By the time the recall was announced on June 8, the company had accrued 273,870 warranty claims dating back more than six years regarding this problem.

Honda will be installing an improved cable harness and a straightening cover over the coaxial cable at no cost to remedy the problem, and those who have already paid out-of-pocket for those repairs will be eligible for reimbursements.

No injuries or deaths have been reported related to the defective cameras.

Hatzolah Director Calls on Parents To Teach Children About Safety

A disturbing video of three girls scootering down a Monsey street without helmets prompted the executive director of Rockland Hatzolah to remind parents to make sure that their children understand the hazards of the road.

The video was published on Yeshiva World News last week, with the accompanying article noting that the girls laughed at a Hatzolah member who warned them that their behavior was dangerous, and continued to ride disturbingly close to the double yellow line in the middle of the street.

Rabbi Yosef C. Golding responded to the story with a plea to parents and pedestrians to exercise caution, noting that the increase in the number of vehicles on the road makes it even more dangerous than in previous years. Rabbi Golding emphasized the importance of helmets for anyone who is biking, scootering or rollerblading, of keeping younger children out of the street, and of teaching older children traffic safety rules. Also stressed were wearing appropriate footwear, avoiding bikes and scooters and wearing reflectors when visibility is

limited, and modeling good behavior by using crosswalks and obeying traffic signals when crossing streets.

The warnings also extend to drivers.

“Drivers must be aware that kids will be kids, and the drivers bear the ultimate responsibility in case of an accident,” said Rabbi Golding, cautioning motorists to be on the lookout for children at all times, especially during bad weather, and to be particularly careful when pulling in and out of driveways and backing up.

Similar warnings were issued in Boro Park, with Yeshiva World News running footage on June 21 of a young girl running into the street at the corner of 50th Street and 14th Avenue and nearly getting struck by a coach bus. The girl was crossing against the light, as were other adults who can be seen in the video.

“As the summer begins and the streets are filled with children, please educate them on the importance of safety — both verbally and by personal example,” the article stated. “Drivers too should be extra cautious as the streets teem with people.”

Electronic Sensors To Nab Overweight Trucks on Troubled Section of BQE

New legislation passed in Albany will have sensors installed on an aging section of the Brooklyn Queens Expressway. Tickets will be issued to those that exceed the roadway’s 80,000-pound weight limit.

Multiple studies have shown that overweight trucks are traveling the BQE, a particular problem on the highway’s crumbling triple cantilever section in Brooklyn Heights, reported Brooklyn Paper. Legislation sponsored by Senator Andrew Gounardes and Assemblymember Jo Anne Simon will launch the city’s Weigh-in-Motion plan, which will use calibration techniques to identify violators as part of the ongoing effort to extend the life of the aging roadway.

“Illegally overweight trucks have done significant damage to the BQE triple cantilever, and the risk of a catastrophic event goes up every year we don’t take action,” said Simon, pointing to the recent collapse of a section of I-95 in Northeast Philadelphia as proof that trucks can inflict real damage on a roadway. “These massive illegal trucks have no place in New York.”

Plans to start construction on the troubled section of the roadway, which extends from Atlantic Avenue to the Brooklyn Bridge, have been pushed off to late 2027, with the New York City Department of Transportation electing to do a traffic study ahead of a two-year environmental study, instead of doing the two concurrently. While some voiced concerns about the delay, DOT spokesperson Vin Barone said that the revised timeline will result in the best possible outcome for the BQE and insisted that the roadway remains safe, with interim repairs to be made as needed.

New Neighborhood Loading Zones a Help or a Hindrance in Boro Park?

A 2021 law that is taking a minimum of 500 parking spots away from motorists each year and using them to create neighborhood loading zones is making its mark in Boro Park, part of a larger effort to enhance safety and eliminate congestion by reducing double parking.

Local Law 168 of 2021 required the New York City Department of Transportation to identify locations for the new loading zones, with a minimum of five installed each year for the next three years in what it defined as “neighborhood tabulation areas.”

The movement to add more neighborhood loading zones comes in response to the growing number of freight deliveries being made within the five boroughs. According to the DOT, 45 percent of the city’s residents receive at least one delivery to their home each week, with the popularity of e-commerce bringing more trucks to residential streets, particularly since the pandemic.

BoroPark24 posted pictures of the signs that advise residents that they can’t park in the designated areas from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays through Friday.

It remains to be seen whether the initiative will enhance life for area residents by giving delivery trucks a place to unload, or will create more problems by eliminating a significant number of parking spaces on local streets.

Larger Penalties Looming for Alternate Side Parking Violators?

Touting the importance of cleaner streets, City Councilman Lincoln Restler introduced legislation last week that would raise fines for those who fail to obey alternate side parking rules, with repeat offenders facing the possibility of

having their cars towed.

Under the plan, violators would be slapped with the current $65 fee for their first violation, but fines would rise to $100 for second and third violations within the same year. Subsequent violations would result in vehicles being towed.

According to Brooklyn Eagle, many New Yorkers consider street cleanliness a priority, with 57% of the more than 8,000 complaints about poorly swept streets coming from Brooklyn. That number represents a 109% increase over the previous year.

Restler blamed the street sweepers’ poor performance on drivers who fail to move their cars on alternate side parking days.

“It’s cheaper for New Yorkers to pay for occasional alternate side parking tickets than it is to park their car in a garage,” said Restler. “We need to raise the violation fees and encourage car owners to do their part in keeping our streets clean.”

Alternate side parking debuted in New York in August 1950. Those who failed to comply with the regulation at that time had their vehicles towed and were required to pay both a $15 fine and a $10 fee to have their cars released, an amount that would be equivalent to $300 today.

CHAPTER 12

Recap: Riva discovers that the Eisdorfs have paused construction. At PTA, Fraidy’s teachers paint a bleak picture.

Late at night, when Lani could barely spell her name anymore, she made a spontaneous decision: She would set her alarm clock for 6:00 a.m. and start the next day with a vigorous power walk.

Getting out of bed was torture, but once she’d done it, she thanked herself for the sacrifice. The days leading up to Pesach were intense, and this walk would do wonders for her energy level over the course of the day.

It was a pretty cold morning, but ten minutes into her walk, she unzipped her jacket. This was good. This was great. She swallowed lungfuls of fresh, crisp air, feeling the oxygen travel to every last muscle and nerve in her body.

By 7:00, she was back home, feeling alert and light and surprisingly eager to greet her waking kids.

But sitting on her front steps drinking coffee, someone else awaited her greeting.

“Andy?”

“Good morning, Missus.”

“Uh… What…? I mean…”

Andy took a gulp from his coffee cup. “My guys will be here in around five minutes. I just want to put my tools down. Do you mind opening the door for me?”

Could a power walk really perform that many miracles?

“I’ll open it, sure, just give me a minute. I’m going in through the basement.”

Once inside, she anxiously dialed Chaim Tzvi.

“Hey,” Chaim Tzvi said. “I was about to turn off my phone, we’re starting Hodu. Is this an emergency?”

“Chaim Tzvi, Andy is here, in front of the house, and he wants to come in. What’s going on?”

“Oh, Andy. Yeah, I forgot to tell you. I asked him to put in a week of work in the house, I’ll figure out the money.”

“You — oh. Okay. I mean, great. Okay, I’ll open the door for him.”

Hey, I’m Zishe. Owner of Geeker simplifies my business operations.

Here’s how.

I operate three store locations on one server, using Google Sheets and Excel (integrated with Quickbooks), and keep inventory and sales separate per location. Oftentimes, technical issues arise and speedy software support is needed

It must be resolved A.S.A.P.

My magic formula?

I instinctively contact Geeker.

The Geeks help me target and resolve the issues efficiently and effectively.

The best part?

•Pay as you go.

•On-demand assistance. 9 a.m.-9 p.m.

•My shops run smoothly. Technical glitches aside.

I am the owner of a well-run business. And a Geeker fan.

Fifteen minutes later, the screechy sound of drilling pierced the stillness in the basement. An odd heaviness settled in Lani’s stomach. The noise should’ve been music to her ears, but for some reason, it spread tension throughout her body. She tried drawing on her powerwalk energy as she helped her kids get ready for school, and while she put together the lone breakfast order that had come in for the day.

At 8:30 she was finally able to break away and go upstairs. She met Oscar and Jose in the master area. They were putting up the sheetrock in the walk-in closet.

“Good morning,” Lani greeted them. “Would you like some coffee?”

“Maybe soon,” Oscar said. “The boss says we should work fast-fastfast.”

“Fast but good?” Lani cautioned.

Jose burst out laughing, like that was some hilarious joke.

Lani stood around watching them work for a bit. Then she walked from room to room, the heaviness in her stomach intensifying.

This was a tease, such a tease. Was this the new plan? Put up one wall at a time? Bring in a taper to do one room, then three weeks later another, and a year later maybe start the hallway? Maybe by the time Shifra was in shidduchim, they’d actually be up to spackling.

She heard the phone ringing downstairs. “I’ll be back soon with your coffees,” she told the crew.

By the time she got back downstairs, the answering machine had picked up. “Hi, Mrs. Eisdorf, this is Chaya calling from A&A Kitchens. I just wanted to let you know that your order will be ready by the end of this week, so we need to schedule delivery. Please call me back when you hear my message…”

The kitchen order was ready, but the house was not. And they couldn’t accept the delivery before they were ready for installation, because there was no safe place in the house to store all the cabinetry.

Also, accepting the delivery meant paying up the balance of the order. They certainly weren’t ready for that.

She called back Chaya. “I don’t think we’ll be able to accept the delivery before Pesach,” she said.

“So when should I put this down for?”

Next century?

“Uh, I don’t know yet,” Lani said. “I need to, um, talk to the plumber. Can I get back to you about this?”

“Yes, sure. I just want to let you know that if your order sits in our warehouse for more than a month, we’ll have to charge a storage fee.”

“I… see. Okay. I’ll get back to you.”

She hung up the phone and went to prepare herself a sixteen-ounce cup of coffee. She was picking out some chocolate to go with it when the doorbell rang. More workers?

It wasn’t more workers; it was Gittel Indig, with a sweet young lady at her side. “Hi, Lani. This is my daughter, Shaindy. She just came over to me with some tile samples, and I thought this would be a great opportunity to show her your house. Mind if I give her a quick tour? You don’t have to come up with us if you’re busy.”

Lani was so startled, she couldn’t think of a single intelligent thing to say.

Okay, so some people defied societal norms, okay. But, like, how do you tell such a person that no, they absolutely weren’t invited inside, and neither was her very sweet daughter who was forced to decide between glossy and semi-glossy tiles?

Before Lani could collect herself to cordially un-invite the pair into her house, her phone rang again. This time it was Riva.

Well, a phone call would be an excuse to push off her response.

“I wanted to ask you about Maddie,” Riva said. “She just texted me that she won’t be able to work next week Tuesday and Wednesday. So I’m just trying my luck. You think I could have her for a few hours on Thursday? Even only three hours would be a huge help. I know it’s before Pesach, but I’m going to lose it if she doesn’t come to my house next week.”

Riva’s speech made her dizzy.

REJUVENATION DESTINATION

They’d been “sharing” Maddie for the past five years, and they’d always tried to accommodate each other with schedule changes. No, she didn’t have a problem shaving off three hours for her sister. In fact, she was ready to shave off all hours at this point.

It was probably a ridiculously impulsive thing to do, and maybe she was going to regret this very soon, but a bitter taste in her mouth made her just do it.

She walked into the house before answering, away from Indig & Co.’s prying ears.

“You know what, Riva? You could have her all day on Thursday, and whichever other days you’d like before Pesach. I think I’m done with having cleaning help around in this place. This isn’t a house, it’s a horrible basement and looks just as horrible after Maddie leaves. Also, it’s kind of impossible for her to work when it’s so crowded here, and —”

And I can’t afford her. We need all of our money to get all the silly pipes and wires connected and to get our kitchen delivered and installed. To get all the walls up, the floor down, the tiles placed, the closets built. We need money, and thanks to you, we don’t have any, so goodbye, Maddie.

“Psst, Lani?”

Gittel Indig was standing in the doorway, snapping her fingers to get Lani’s attention. Lani sent her a questioning look.

“I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but I couldn’t help overhearing. Are you talking about a cleaning lady? Does your sister have extra hours anytime during the week for her lady to come to my house?”

Mazel tov! It’s a girl!

The text from Adina came in on the Kleenup staff group text just as Riva arrived at work.

“Hey, mazel tov!” Riva told Miriam as she walked into the office.

“Mazel tov?”

“Look at your phone.”

The atmosphere in the office was upbeat for the rest of the morning. Even Mr. Gabioff was in a

Embark on a spa-like weight loss journey with our cutting-edge machines that give you a serene experience while helping you shed those extra inches fast!

good mood, asking everyone he spoke to, “Did you hear that Mrs. Gartenhaus had a baby?” He wouldn’t stay upbeat for long, they all knew, probably not even until the afternoon, because pretty soon it was going to hit him that they were going to be one secretary short all the way through Pesach, and he would go into panic mode, which was one of his less pretty modes, mildly put.

But for now, everyone rejoiced for Adina.

Miriam started an email chain with the subject: Adina baby gift

Do you guys want me to take care of a gift for Adina? Any ideas what we should get?

Over the next hour, suggestions were exchanged. A pretty blanket, a knit outfit, a gift certificate for a photo shoot.

The knit outfit got the most votes, and Miriam volunteered to stop in to Ladybug on her way home to pick one out.

Riva replied, Thanks, Miriam! And then she had a thought and continued typing. I’m thinking, her in-laws live out of town, and her mother’s probably busy with suppers and shopping for the baby. Maybe she’d appreciate if we send her a nice breakfast the morning after she comes home? My sister does such breakfast packages, so I could take care of the order. Hmm?

Shoshi was the first to respond. Yes!!! Luv the idea. Go for it.

A minute later Miriam added, Yup. Totally agree, let me know how much I owe you.

Chaya was also on board.

That left Shuli.

Miriam had cc’ed her on the email thread, but so far she hadn’t responded. What were the chances that she hadn’t read the email yet?

Riva didn’t really care. If Shuli wanted to chip in, great, and if not, it was just a few-dollar difference for everyone. It was only the attitude that bothered her. Was it below her dignity to join a completely safe non-workrelated conversation? This distance she kept made Riva feel like a doofus, like she was getting excited over a simple thing, like she was somehow immature for sharing a story or a joke

MAYBE BY THE TIME SHIFRA WAS IN SHIDDUCHIM, THEY’D ACTUALLY BE UP TO SPACKLING

with her coworkers.

As if to prove it — that the staff was a bunch of babies and she was the only sensible, responsible worker — Shuli approached Riva’s desk to go over a stack of invoices.

Riva was sick of it. This girl was many years younger than her; Riva wasn’t going to let herself be intimidated.

“Did you see my email to the staff?” Riva asked, before Shuli had a chance to start with her invoices.

“Uh, I’m not sure. Which email?”

“About the breakfast?”

“Oh, yeah, your sister?”

“Uh-huh.”

Shuli flattened the pile of invoices on the desk. “Yeah, I saw.”

“Would you like to chip in for that? No pressure, you don’t have to. We’ll probably just write ‘From the Kleenup staff’ on the card, so it doesn’t really matter either way.”

To Riva’s surprise, Shuli’s cheeks turned red. “Uh, yeah, please. I’d like to. Thanks. Let me know my total, for this and for the baby outfit.” She restacked the perfectly stacked invoices. “And maybe, I mean, if you want, you could list everyone’s names? It’s more personal that way...”

“Yes, that makes sense. Sure, I’ll tell her. Great. Anyway, what did you want to ask me about those invoices?”

“Um, I think forget it. I had a question, but I can figure it out myself.” She stood up. “Thanks. For taking care of the breakfast, I mean. It’s a great idea.”

THE IMPORTANCE OF A PRE-APPROVAL

3

Last week, we discussed a family that prepared to purchase a home by getting a certified preapproval. This pre-approval played an integral part in getting their offer approved — and in the couple eventually purchasing their home.

To recap, a certified pre-approval is a document a buyer gets from a mortgage lender to indicate they will likely be approved for a loan of a certain amount. Essentially, it confirms their buying power. This document makes a bid on a home more legitimate and, therefore, more likely to be accepted by the seller.

Unfortunately, many prospective homebuyers don’t speak to a mortgage advisor until they have already started house-hunting and have entered a bid on a house. When their bid is rejected, they lose a good opportunity. This is why finding and working with a mortgage advisor before you begin hunting for a house is so important.

Last spring, I was approached by a couple, Rabbi and Mrs. Greenbaum*, who wanted to move to Monsey from Brooklyn before the school year began. They’d been given the sound advice to speak with a mortgage advisor to figure out a reasonable budget — and they reached out to me.

We looked at the Greenbaums’ income and debt, and then determined their budget. For no charge, we got them a certified pre-approval to submit along with their

bid. I then put them in touch with a great real estate agent in the Monsey area, and they began looking for a home. Three weeks after getting their certified pre-approval, the right house came along. They were determined to be the owners of this house and placed a bid at asking price. Within five hours of the home being listed, the Greenbaums were one of three bids on the house.

The Greenbaums’ bid was accepted, even though one of the other bids was for $10,000 higher. Why? This couple had the certified pre-approval. The fact that this wonderful house was for sale was the talk of the neighborhood, and as private people, the sellers just wanted to get it over with fast. They didn’t want to accept an offer that the buyers might not be able to afford, only to have the buyers back out, leaving the sellers forced to start all over again.

Rabbi and Mrs. Greenbaum had a straightforward loan process. Because they both worked in chinuch with uncomplicated income sources, we got them closed in less than three weeks, and they moved in well before the school year began.

And that other couple who bid $10,000 over the Greenbaums’ bid, but without a pre-approval? The real estate agent put them in touch with us, we got them a certified pre-approval, and they closed on a different home just two months later.

ABE’S ICE CREAM STORY

Abe’s Frozen Desserts, run by father and son Avraham Aba and Yitzchok Dov (Dovi) Weinberger, creates mostly pareve ice cream products.

The creation of any food product is more than just a science; it’s an art in terms of patience and perseverance, and takes a hefty dose of good old-fashioned grit. How did Mr. Weinberger’s family get on track with the pareve production? Who creates recipes and how? And — mmm... — who taste-tests?

It’s all in the family.

“My grandfather, Reb Moshe Leib, was a chemist with a great palate,” says Dovi Weinberger, current manager of product development. “He knew how to combine ingredients to recreate a taste exactly. I remember tasting an absolutely delicious pareve cheesecake that he developed. I’m sure he helped my father plenty with the taste-testing, back in the day.”

As for recipe-developing and taste-testing at Abe’s today, the sons took over where their father left off, continuing the tradition of quality ingredients and taste.

It’s interesting to note that Mr. Weinberger, in the footsteps of his father Reb Moshe Leib, pulled off a remarkable first in the ice-cream industry: His pareve ice cream back in the ’80s was the first of its kind. “Before they did Tofutti,” his son asserts.

DID YOU KNOW?

Neapolitan (strawberry, vanilla and chocolate) was the first pareve flavor to be distributed in the United States. In fact, Neapolitan was the only flavor until 2006!

KNOW THE JARGON

ON THEIR OWN, AT LAST

As consumers, we have no way of knowing what lies behind each product we behold on the shelf — the sweat and tears, creativity and courage, and at times mishaps and mayhem that it takes to bring forth the hoped-for results.

All we see is delicious ice cream, but for the past two and a half years, it’s been coming from a more comfortable place: Abe’s own factory.

“We worked with non-Jewish co-packers in the past,” Dovi shares. “One went out of business. The next one brought down the quality of our products. My father had developed his own formula, and I added to it. We further modified our recipes a few years back, but the co-packers didn’t follow it perfectly, and that affected the quality of the ice cream.”

This, of course, meant untold anguish for Abe’s, in addition to the concern that they were disappointing their customers, who were the ones taking the loss.

That’s when Abe’s knew that it was time to build their own home.

CO-PACKER: Short for contract-packer, co-packers are companies that package products for clients.

PASTEURIZATION: Named for French microbiologist Louis Pasteur, this process — on milk, fruit juices and such — eliminates pathogens and extends shelf life.

NEAPOLITAN: The flavor that brings vanilla, chocolate and strawberry together. The presumption is that it originates from the cuisine of the Italian city of Naples, and that’s how this triple-treat got its elegant name.

“Things are much better now,” Mr. Weinberger says simply. He proceeds with a verbal tour of the ice cream facility in Terrebonne, Quebec, “half an hour from Montreal and ten minutes from Tosh.”

The headquarters of Abe’s Frozen Desserts are designed for mass production. “Unlike fancy desserts that require handwork, most machines at our place run automatically, similar to big factories.”

First stop is the pasteurization room. Here, ingredients are brought together to be blended and transferred, and then pasteurized to the amount mandated by law. All of the ingredients are dissolved and mixed well, and then it’s off to the homogenizer. This machine really puts the pressure on the ingredients as it breaks down their particles to make sure

they never separate again.

The mixture is then cooled down (from the heat in the pasteurizer) and transferred to a holding tank. Then comes the flavoring tank, where unique jets of deliciousness are added to the mix.

Next it’s on to the ice cream freezer that will — you guessed it! — freeze the stuff and add air to the product. (Why air? Otherwise we’d all be eating blocks of ice, Mr. Weinberger explains. Air makes our frozen treats fluffy.)

And now for the finale: The ice cream is packed into containers of all sizes, including cones or pops.

DID YOU KNOW?

An ice cream factory is kept at more or less typical room temperature. The production room is on the colder side, but not refrigerated. The freezer, however, is set to 21 degrees below zero.

DAIRY, TOO?

Abe’s is so synonymous with pareve (to me, at least) that in this entire, tantalizing conversation, the fact that Abe’s dabbles in dairy totally slipped my mind. I had to reach out to Mr. Weinberger again to ask him about that.

“We’ve always manufactured dairy ice cream in Canada. Dairy ice cream can’t really be imported into Canada; it’s very expensive because of the quota system that protects local farmers.”

So Abe’s is Canada’s ice cream hero — sole provider of the frozen stuff in both chalav Yisroel and pareve

Because Abe’s is so synonymous with pareve, Mr. Weinberger says he’s gotten his share of frantic calls from customers who purchased dairy ice cream but didn’t notice the “dairy” label or the container’s round shape, and assumed their purchase was pareve. In one customer’s words: “Your pareve ice cream is so good that we didn’t taste the difference!”

Posters put up on supermarket doors have hopefully gotten customers all caught up on Abe’s product diversity.

But Mr. Weinberger’s candid assessment is that “people know we do pareve, and I stopped pushing the point.”

Nevertheless, Abe’s dairy is on the shelves, creamy in its goodness and there for the taking. Try it! It’s as good as the pareve version!

DID YOU KNOW?

Any ice cream customer will tell you that pareve ice cream is sold in longish containers and dairy in round. This easy-to-see differentiation was first introduced by Abe’s.

NEAPOLITAN IS BACK!

Were you wondering where your favorite tri-flavor ice cream disappeared to? Were you nostalgic for Neapolitan because you came of age in a time when this was the pareve ice cream flavor sold?

Well, it’s back, better than ever!

When Abe’s struck out on their own with their new factory a few years back, they didn’t yet have enough machines to produce Neapolitan, which requires three costly ice cream machines to run at once. Mr. Weinberger says that old-timers have a soft spot for this multi-colored treat, harking back to the time when it was the only flavor produced by Abe’s, and many of them have requested its return.

Finally, now you, too, can enjoy all three flavors plus delightful fudge in one ice cream carton!

ABOVE AND BEYOND

When Mr. Weinberger talks about Abe’s products, it’s obvious that the family passion runs deep. And as he demystifies the measures they take to constantly raise their own bar, it’s clear that crafting perfect ice cream is his personal mission.

“Our ice cream was more yellow in years back, but we developed it further and better, and now it’s much creamier than it used to be. Also, the ingredients we use today are much cleaner, with only natural stabilizers. We’re constantly trying to be more natural by getting rid of artificial components.”

Amazingly, Abe’s facilities have thus far managed to remain nut-free.

“Many families have kids who eat only nut-free products,” says Mr. Weinberger, “so here’s where we do our bit to be of service and to stand out with our product. We’re creamier, and also healthier.”

And it’s not only nut-free Abe’s does well. After doing a sugar-free stint a while back, I can vouch for the fact that Abe’s sugar-free ice cream gives you no reason to feel deprived.

DID YOU KNOW?

Dairy can never be called sugar-free, since lactose turns to sugar in our blood. That’s why you’ll find the words “no sugar added” on dairy products.

ALSO AT ABE’S

As a huge fan of Abe’s Yorgoods — which are mouthwatering frozen treats featuring health benefits similar to yogurt — and their brand-new single-serve squeezies, I conclude our conversation by asking how often Abe’s debuts a new product.

“We have a lot of ideas we could roll out,” Mr. Weinberger says, “but we can’t present everything at once. We need to walk before we run.” Between the idea-untilproduct timeframe, cash-flow assurance and having a ready market, there’s nothing slapdash about this particular process.

But we’re fine. There’s plenty of Abe’s to choose from until their next new freezer friend shows up!

“We got a bracha for success from the previous Tosher Rebbe, zt”l,” Mr. Weinberger concludes. “I’m sure that his blessing is adding goodness to our ice cream.”

MOST VINTAGE FLAVOR?

CARTONS PER ICE CREAM BATCH?

“That’s a hard one,” Mr. Weinberger admits. Because it depends on how much air the ice cream takes in and expands with, until the freezing point stops its growth. Each type of ice cream has a different amount of air added, so the end result differs, too.

INTERESTING IDEAS

“When I was younger and just started working for my father,” Dovi Weinberger shares, “I dreamed of introducing flavors like banana and fruit punch, but I had to give those up because the kosher market isn’t big enough for such specifics. Out-of-the-box flavors can work in ice cream shops where they’re prepped in small batches, but not in a factory where the machines need to be changed with every flavor. In a market where shelf-space is at a premium, you want to focus on the best-selling flavors, which are the standard ones. Those never go out of style.”

Camp SCHI is crucial for special needs children and their families. With just weeks away from camp we need your help!

The daily routine of a special needs family revolves around the unending, day-after-day care for their family member. Camp SCHI was created to provide a once-a-year relief, allowing these families to briefly enjoy what most families take for granted, and rejuvenate for the coming year. This is a vital lifeline that is crucial for special needs children, their parents, and their siblings.

I continuously observe how these few weeks literally save families.

Camp SCHI has separate camps for boys and girls, with a complete staff of special ed teachers, therapists, and medical personnel. Both camps are led by the most amazing counselors: Bochurim who spend the entire year in Yeshiva, and Bais Yaakov girls of the

highest caliber, who choose to spend their summer perfecting the art of giving while learning life’s most difficult challenges. The combination of the unyielding love and the specially designed programs give the children an opportunity to flourish in ways that are impossible during the school year.

The past few summers, Camp SCHI had only one campus in the Pocono Mountains, requiring us to rent various campgrounds, that were not always well equipped for our needs. ידסחב

םשה, we now have been able to obtain an additional campus. However, a tremendous amount of money is urgently needed to reconstruct the campground to accommodate special needs. With just weeks away from camp, I need your help!

I am beseeching you to realize the importance of this undertaking and partner with me to be

לועב אשונ with these special children and their families.

Throughout my yearslong ordeal, I felt there was a הנוילע הרימש protecting me in the תוכז of these special תומשנ. Your תופתתשה is a tremendous קוזיח for me and will surely stand by us to be הרצ לכמ לצינ and be הכוז to יד ילב דע הכרב.

With much appreciation,

Whether you eat your ice cream on a cone or in a bowl, straight from the carton or from the ice cream truck, ice cream is an indispensable part of summer. Ice cream belongs in every lyrical description of summer bliss, right up there with the swimming pool and ocean waves. But not all ice creams are created equal. Some are far, far more equal than others. Check out these record-breaking, showstopping ice cream creations, and you’ll never look at your ice cream the same way again.

BANK BREAKER: BYAKUYA

To me it looks like a scoop of regular caramel ice cream, but this bowl of ice cream is the most expensive in the world, holding the Guinness world record title. One of its ingredients is edible gold leaf — but that isn’t the most expensive part of the ice cream. The most expensive ingredient by far is the white truffle, a fungi that grows underground and costs almost $15,200 per kilogram. Because these white truffles are so important to the ice cream, it was named “Byakuya,” which means white night.

To have the privilege of tasting a 4.4-ounce serving of this ice cream, you’ll need to fork over $6,696. Eat it quickly so your money doesn’t melt!

If a $6,000 treat for dessert doesn’t suit your discriminating taste, you can try another expensive dessert. This one is the most expensive ice cream dessert in the world: a sundae that retails for $25,000. It’s called the Frrrozen Haute Chocolate Ice Cream Sundae. It’s made with 28 different cocoas and a whole lot of gold leaf. It’s also served in a goblet lined with edible gold, and you get to take home the gold spoon decorated with diamonds. You’re welcome.

SWEETEST SKYSCRAPER:

TALLEST ICE CREAM EVER

You’d have to climb up on a ladder to lick this ice cream cone, and you’d need another few thousand people licking with you to finish it before it melts. This ice cream cone, created by Norwegian ice cream manufacturer Hennig Olsen, stood over ten feet tall and weighed almost a ton. It was airlifted by helicopter to the event where it was served.

Created out of 211 pounds of wafer cone, lined with 132 pounds of chocolate, and filled with over 4,500 cups of ice cream, the ice cream was also topped with 88 pounds of jam. There was enough ice cream to give 10,800 people two scoops each. When it comes to ice cream, there’s always more to go around!

MOST SCOOPS ON ONE CONE

Imagine if an ice cream store lets you pile up as many scoops as you could fit onto one cone for ten dollars. You might try to get five scoops onto that cone… but how about 125?

That’s the record for the most scoops of ice cream ever stacked onto one cone, set by Dmitri Panciera of Italy. He had to stack all 125 scoops onto a cone with a standard diameter of 9.5 centimeters, and all the scoops had to remain on the cone for 10 seconds without falling.

The scoops used for the record were vanilla, pistachio and strawberry. They were supposed to represent the green, red and white of the Italian flag.

THE STAGGERING SCOOP:

LARGEST ICE CREAM SCOOP EVER

No more fighting over whose scoop is bigger; just make one huge family scoop and be done with it! This enormous ice cream scoop looks like someone really liked strawberry ice cream — enough to make a scoop of it that weighed over 3,000 pounds and took about 733 containers of ice cream to put together.

It was actually made l’kavod a strawberry festival in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, by five snow sculptors who worked together to sculpt the super-sized ice cream scoop. The scoop was over five feet tall and was served to thousands of people who attended the strawberry festival.

ICE CREAM SHOP WITH MOST FLAVORS

When you stand in front of an ice cream display and just can’t choose which flavor to put on your cone, be glad you aren’t in La Casa Gelato. This store sells over 200 different flavors of gelato, Italian ice cream, every day. They rotate between almost 600 ice cream flavors, and let their customers take as many sample tastes as they’d like from all 200 ice cream flavors on display before picking the flavor they pay for. Vanilla, move over! Their ice cream menu includes weird (and, frankly, not very appetizing) flavors like chocolate chili, garlic and spicy mango. With so many flavors to choose from, it’s no wonder that customers say that choosing is overwhelming. It might just be a classic case of too much of a good thing.

LONGEST

ICE CREAM SUNDAE

Some ice cream lovers are in it for the long haul. The longest ice cream sundae in the world was created by thousands of people, used 500 gallons of ice cream, and was topped with 300 gallons of chocolate and strawberry syrup. Then it was garnished with 2,000 cans of whip cream, along with 25 pounds of sprinkles and 20,000 cherries.

After all the ingredients were put together, the ice cream treat measured almost a mile long! Once it received its official Guinness World Record certificate, though, it didn’t last very long. In less than a half hour, over 4,000 people helped themselves to portions from the lengthy ice cream treat, and soon the entire sundae was gone.

LUSCIOUS LINEUP:

LARGEST ICE CREAM SCOOP PYRAMID

Why use sand to build a pyramid when you can use ice cream scoops instead? This huge pyramid stood over 3 feet tall and was made out of more than 5,400 scoops of ice cream. It earned a Guinness certificate for being the largest ice cream scoop pyramid ever.

If you’re picturing a lone ice cream man standing and scooping out over 500 pounds of ice cream onto the pyramid, think again. It’s no easy feat to build an ice cream scoop pyramid. In fact, 278 people had to work together as a team to construct its 23 layers.

This record replaced the previous record for the largest ice cream scoop pyramid, which had 3,100 scoops of ice cream. The old pyramid took more than 80 people to construct, though it didn’t last nearly as long as Egypt’s similarly shaped landmarks. This delicious pyramid stood in all its glory for about 45 minutes.

INSCRUTABLE ICE CREAM:

MOST MYSTERIOUS ICE CREAM FLAVOR

While it doesn’t hold an official world record, Blue Moon is probably the most mysterious ice cream flavor. It tastes like… well, actually, no one’s really sure. Or rather, everyone is very sure that they’ve guessed the right flavor, but each taster will tell you it tastes like something else. The truth is that there’s no way to know for sure what the flavor actually is.

That’s because the recipe for this mystery ice cream has been patented by the company that produces it, and it has remained their secret for over 50 years. Whether it’s the mystery flavor or the bright blue color that stains your tongue, something about Blue Moon has made it one of the most popular flavors in the Midwest states where it is sold.

SAVE OUR SCULPTURE:

LARGEST ICE CREAM SCULPTURE

Besides building pyramids, you can use your ice cream to construct just about anything. Well, as long as you’re willing to see the fruits of your labor disappear, of course.

That didn’t bother the three sculptors who created this 2,000-pound ice cream sculpture shaped like a ship, using tools like a chainsaw, hammer and chisel. They earned themselves the record of creating the largest ice cream sculpture in the world, measuring 4 feet 10 inches by 5 feet 10 inches by 2 feet 5 inches.

What better place to unveil an ice cream sculpture than in an elementary school, where you have hundreds of hungry students right on hand? This sculpture was consumed by over 500 grateful and gleeful children at Robert Louis Stevenson elementary school in Burbank, California.

STUNNING SANDWICH:

LARGEST ICE CREAM SANDWICH

Sandwich for lunch, anyone? This chocolate chip cookie and vanilla ice cream sandwich would definitely be voted into anyone’s lunch box. If it could fit, that is.

But since the largest ice cream sandwich in the world weighed 2,960 pounds and was 35 feet long, it wasn’t that simple to transport it, even to its official weighing station. Putting it together required a team effort of 30 workers, who worked for five hours to create the treat.

After doing its duty as the biggest ice cream sandwich in the world, it was cut up into edible portions and donated to a food bank. Portion control, indeed.

By Chaya Heiligman

STEP 1

Mix blue and white to create light blue. Create a sloped horizontal line in the middle of your canvas, and fill the upper part of your canvas with blue.

STEP 2

Mix yellow ocher and white to create a light sand color. Fill the bottom part of the canvas with this paint.

STEP 3

Using a clean large brush, pull lightly upward from the sand color into the sky color. This will create the appearance of stalks of wheat filling the distance.

STEP 4

Mix black and white to create gray. Use this paint to draw a dome-shaped building on the right side. Fill with more gray paint.

STEP 5

Add more black to the gray paint to create a darker gray color. Use this dark gray to create the windmills in the middle of the upper part of the building. Add four long triangles and a little circle connecting them. Fill with more dark gray paint.

STEP 6

Dip the tips of a dry large brush into yellow ocher. Starting at the farthest point of the wheat field, create little lines of stalks.

STEP 7

Add brown to the yellow ocher. Create larger stalks in the middle of the field. Paint from the bottom of the stalk, and pull your paintbrush upward.

STEP 8

Use a thin brush dipped in brown paint to add thin, long stalks to the bottom of the canvas, also moving upward.

STEP 9

Paint some yellow ocher over the brown to add more dimension to the stalks.

I MAKE ICE CREAM DISAPPEAR. WHAT’S YOUR SUPERPOWER?

Ice cream is the universal comfort food. Whether you’re young or old, sensible or silly; whether it’s five in the morning or two at night... it’s ice cream time! Now, go get yourself a cone, and let’s find out some secrets behind America’s favorite treat.

A LITTLE LICK OF ICE CREAM GOES A LONG, LONG WAY

The classical cones were invented a long time ago at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, Missouri, when Albert Aboussie, ice cream concessionaire, ran out of cups at his busy stall. The stall next door belonged to Ernest Hamwi, waffle concessionaire. Noticing the lack of cups, Ernest rolled his still-warm waffles into cones, and the rest is delicious history. We couldn’t be more thankful!

BUT FIRST, EAT ICE CREAM

Ben & Jerry’s employees get to take home three tubs of ice cream in the flavor of their choice every day. Is anyone looking for a new job?

PRICEY PLEASURES

The ice cream industry is booming. I should know, considering how much I spend on it…

But seriously, this creamy treat has a $13.1 billion direct impact on the US economy, supports 28,800 jobs and generates $1.8 billion in wages yearly. What would we do without it? The majority of U.S. ice cream and frozen dessert manufacturers have been in this vital business for over 50 years, and many are still family-owned trades.

FUNNY FROZEN NUMBERS

It takes twelve pounds of milk to produce just one gallon of dairy ice cream (see, I told you it’s healthy!).

The average number of licks to finish a scoop is 50. Go on, start counting!

The most popular flavors of this delicacy in the U.S. are… drumroll, please… vanilla, with chocolate following as a close second. Do you agree?

Around 90% of Americans have some ice cream stashed in their freezer (myself included!), and the average American eats a whopping 45.8 pints of this delectable treat a year!

Some of the stranger flavors available are avocado, garlic, chili and licorice. I think I’ll stick with my good old favorites, thanks.

Thomas Jefferson was the first American to write down an ice cream recipe (it was vanilla).

Waffle cones beat sugar cones 32% to 12%, but 37% of consumers still prefer their ice cream in a sensible bowl. Which category do you belong to?

The most popular fruit that people enjoy with their ice cream is strawberries at 48% of consumers, with bananas ranking second at 36%.

SUMMERY SCOOPS

July is the busiest month of ice cream consumption, when nearly three-fifths of the ice cream for the year is produced, followed by June and May.

How often? Well, 73% of consumers have ice cream at least once a week, and twothirds of those enjoy it in the evenings. Guess I’m not the only one, then!

Chana Hindy Schechter

Life is a lot like ice cream. You have to enjoy it before it melts!

HELP!

WHEEEE!

THIS IS AWESOME!

Unlocking Pumping Success

- Sara Chana Silverstein

It's crucial to ensure that the flange fits properly. Think of it like wearing the wrong shoe size - it can cause pain and discomfort. That's why I fell in love with the Zomee pump, which offers flange sizes ranging from 15mm to 32mm. And if the correct size is not in the box, they will send you one for FREE (I have never heard of a company that will do this! Amazing!)

Zomee Breast Pumps are FREE through insurance and offered through COMPACT PUMPS. Contact compactpumps@gmail.com (Get a free gift when you mention Sara Chana)

If you're in need of a pump, I highly recommend trying out the Zomee pump and following these tips for pain-free and successful pumping. Feel free to share your thoughts with info@zomee.com, and for any nursing or pumping questions, send a message to zomee@sarachana.com.

CHECK OUT WHAT RIVKY SAYS...

I love GD Teen. It's super enjoyable to take. The enthusiasm in every lesson just makes me so excited to try out the new things I just learnt I really liked the goodies file you provided and the weekly email, it gave me a lot of food for thought and inspirations in my designs. I also LOVE the support I'm getting. I can send my questions anytime and get a response within the next working day.

Also, I designed many things with what I learned. We needed to create a holocaust report and I think ½ of my grade had my work within their report (a cover or family tree or picture pages and so on). I also made my sister's wedding album, menu cards and much more.

I'm busy recommending your course to the whole world!
