YOU ARE OUR GUIDE

(Re: Excursions, Issue 203)

I was so excited to see your updated Excursions trip guide in your fantastic Sukkos edition. The guide is such a great resource; I am still using the Pesach edition! We took many trips on Chol Hamoed Pesach and throughout the summer, including a trip to Niagara Falls, using the Excursions supplement as our guide. We are careful not to use the internet, and it was a pleasure to have so many wonderful familyfriendly ideas handy along with the relevant details and contact information.

Thank you for enhancing our Yom Tov and vacation time!

THE WAY TO PRAY

(Re: Shul Talk, Issues 200–202)

Thank you so much for your very necessary series titled “Shul Talk.” The following incident is one I cannot forget too fast, and is the reason I was so pleased to see these articles printed in your paper.

In honor of my friends son’s aufruf, I went to daven in their family’s shul, where I observed a disconcerting exchange. A couple of teenage girls who had clearly come to shul for the simcha were standing off to the side and schmoozing (which is not allowed during davening, but that is not the point of my letter). Shemoneh Esrei concluded, and Chazaras Hashatz began. The murmuring in their circle continued. Then the chazan started Kedusha, and there was no reaction.

But an adult they knew did react and began gesturing to the girls. They looked at her, clueless, oblivious as to what she wanted from them. She may have said the word “kesser,” or “nu,” or drummed her fingers on the siddur she was holding, I don’t recall exactly. But the girls still looked at her blankly. They had no idea what she wanted from

them. They kept looking at her with puzzled expressions, without making a move to stand straight, face mizrach, or peek into someone’s siddur.

The woman grew very frustrated and began waving at them with urgent motions. Finally, the girls reacted. They turned on their heels and left the shul.

I was aghast. I have to assume that these girls were never taught the halachos regarding Kedusha, and never experienced saying it either. It was heartbreaking to see that frum teenagers, who are being brought up within our own homes, schools and communities, had no idea how to participate in tefillah b’tzibbur, and presumably have never tasted the sublime experience of standing with Am Yisroel and proclaiming Kedusha.

This Elul, your series served as a fantastic resource for girls and women who are not consistent shul-goers. It was like having a loving friend standing near you in shul, telling you exactly what to do.

Thank you for being such a powerful and positive resource for our community.

JUDGE AND JURY

(Re: Court of Public Opinion, Issue 201)

I enjoy reading The Boro Park View and learn a lot from your articles.

Your Rosh Hashanah issue was fantastic, interesting and so appropriate for the time of year. I especially enjoyed the article about not judging others. The stories were so unique and each so different. I especially appreciated the introduction explaining that Hashem is the True Judge and the only One Who knows the complete story in any incident. It takes humility to understand that we know so little about others.

I once read that it’s human nature to take bits of information and turn it into a story even when we do not have all the facts; it’s uncomfortable to face a reality that we don’t understand.

Thank you for such uplifting and inspiring content!

PARSHAS BEREISHIS

Who Made This?

.

ONE AFTERNOON, Rav Elchonon Moshe Kunstadt, zt”l, Rosh Yeshivah of Kol Torah in Yerushalayim, walked into a store. He looked around. No one was there. The shelves were full, but apparently, the storekeeper had gone out for a few minutes. Before he could decide whether to wait for him to return or not, another customer walked in. From his appearance, it was clear that he was far removed from Torah and mitzvos

“Are you the storekeeper?” the man asked.

“No!” replied Reb Elchonon. “This store has no storekeeper!”

The man raised his eyebrows quizzically. “What do you mean? How could that be?”

“As I said,” Reb Elchonon repeated. “There is no owner here!”

The man looked baffled at the emphatic statement made by such a respectable-looking figure. He scanned the shop.

“Who arranged all these items so neatly on the shelves? Who decided the price of each one?” he argued rhetorically. “And who opens the store in the morning and closes it in the evening? Don’t you see that there is someone who takes care of this place?”

Reb Elchonon calmly continued his argument. “I’ll explain,” he said. “Not far from here, near the port of Haifa,

there was a massive explosion in the heart of the sea. Millions of sparks began to fly in the air from the impact, and miraculously, they landed here, creating this neat store. And now you can go shopping…”

By now, the man looked as if he thought the rabbi had lost it.

“I think you need a doctor, man,” he said. “You’re out of your mind!”

This was what Reb Elchonon was waiting for. In a kind yet no-nonsense tone of voice he said, “Am I the fool? You tell me who the fool is! Look at the world around us. Everything is arranged so perfectly! Nature is flawless — down to the last detail. If you just open your eyes and think for a moment, you’ll see there is a Creator of the world. There is obviously a Boss Who put everything exactly where it is and keeps it all running in perfect order! Could there be anything more foolish than to think that this world happened on its own?”

Rav Shmuel Halevi Wosner, zt”l, recounted that he once visited the Chazon Ish. It was early evening, and the Chazon Ish was in his courtyard, looking at the sky. He was so engrossed in the stars, marveling at the fascinating creation of the constellations, that tears streamed down his face. So mesmerized was he by Hakadosh Baruch Hu’s creation that he didn’t even notice that someone was standing beside him.

Nature itself tells of the existence of the Creator. It is itself the greatest testimony that Hakadosh Baruch Hu created the world and continues to control its existence.

For health reasons, Rav Shach, zt”l, once went to the sea. When he returned to yeshivah, the Rosh Yeshivah animated-

With Bereishis, we begin the cycle of Torah anew. The Torah begins with a detailed discussion of the Creation of the world. Rashi questions why we begin with Bereishis; perhaps it would seem more fitting to begin with the first mitzvah given to Klal Yisroel — the mitzvah of Rosh Chodesh.

The Ramban explains that there is a great need to begin specifically with this fundamental event — because it is the root of all emunah

ly described what the waves look like as they come tumbling out to the shore, only to stop short and roll right back into the big open sea.

“There is a Creator in this world!” he exclaimed. “Who set a boundary to the sea and tells it to stop right where it does? Who created all this?” In an outburst of emotion uncharacteristic of Rav Shach, the Rosh Yeshivah proclaimed, “Looking at the water, it is clear for all to see that there is a Creator in this world!” *

Harav Gamliel Rabinowitz, shlit”a, used to have a chavrusashaft in his home with his rebbi, a well-known tzaddik in Yerushalayim, Rav Zundel Kroizer, zt”l

One day, when they sat down to learn, a tray of fruit was brought to the table. As it was set down, one orange rolled off the tray and onto the floor. Before anyone had a chance to pick it up, Rav Zundel, who was then past 80, bent down and lifted the orange. It was obviously an effort.

“Why does Rebbi exert himself?” Reb Gamliel asked. “The orange has a thick peel protecting the fruit. It won’t get spoiled from a fall…”

Reb Zundel replied in wonder, “An orange is a creation of Hakadosh Baruch Hu! Is it not worthwhile for me to bend down even if just for the zechus of holding in my hand the personal handiwork of Hashem?”

The pasuk in Yeshaya (40:26) says, “Se’u marom eineichem, u’re’u Mi bara eilah” — Lift your eyes upward and see Who created these.” The Navi Yeshaya was rousing Klal Yisroel; all you must do is look up. With but a few moments of contemplating the world around us, we instinctively arrive at the conclusion that Hashem is the One Who created the entire universe, down to the finest details. Observing the creation is enough to fill one with emunah

This is the essence of Sefer Bereishis. It teaches us to contemplate and perceive emunah openly, with a clear perception of our Creator, without distractions or obscurities. All it takes is a moment of reflection, to simply stop and feel the Creator in every step of our lives.

CHAPTER 26

Fraidy’s therapist’s words resonate with Riva. Lani’s contract with Mother Hen is finalized, leaving her with great hope for their financial future.

Break In was officially incorporated.

At the entrance to Chase Bank, Lani gripped the bar of Shifra’s stroller and gingerly followed Chaim Tzvi through the door. The stroller wheels rolled smoothly, and her heels clicked with a sophisticated echo over the polished floor. She and Chaim Tzvi headed toward the bankers’ cubicles, where one of the bankers noticed them and indicated they should wait.

There was a staid vibe in the air. The bank was hushed, filled with backdrop sounds of keyboards clacking and low-toned conversations.

She was part of this world now. She wasn’t collecting petty cash from occasional customers anymore, no more QuickPays and small checks made out to her own name. Her business was real; it had become an entity.

The bank rep stood up. Chaim Tzvi

extended his hand and said, “Hey, good morning, Steve, how’s Pluto doing?”

She had no idea if by Pluto he meant a person, a dog, or the former planet, but one thing she knew: When people said that her husband had friends in high places, they weren’t joking.

“Nice to meet you, Mrs. Eisdorf,” Steve said, tilting his head forward. The guy obviously had a large Jewish clientele; he knew not to extend his hand.

“Hi, hello,” Lani murmured. She parked the stroller in the tiny space at the cubicle’s entrance and stuck a bag of corn snacks into Shifra’s hand. Not very professional for a brand-new business owner. Oh, well.

The banker was actually amused. “Hey, cutie!” he cooed, waving fingers at the baby.

Shifra eyed him suspiciously.

“Okay, Hayim,” he said. He stepped

around his desk and sank into his swivel chair. “So let’s hear, what are we doing today?”

“We’re here to open an account for my wife’s business.”

There was absolutely zero pride in his voice when he said that, Lani couldn’t help noticing, but Steve didn’t care about pride.

“Cool. That’s cool,” he said. “Great. Let’s get you guys started right away.”

Forty minutes later, they were all set, and Lani deposited her first Mother Hen check.

When they stepped outside, Chaim Tzvi wheeling the stroller with a sleeping Shifra, Lani saw she had a missed call from Mrs. Becker.

“Ugh.”

“What?”

“It’s Chevi’s principal. She’s on my case about this therapy thing.”

“So just take her already. Why do you care so much?”

“Hello! You don’t just take a kid to therapy for nothing!”

They reached the car. Chaim Tzvi gently transferred Shifra to her car seat and collapsed the stroller.

“Is it for nothing?” he asked.

Lani yanked open the passenger door. “Fighting with a kid isn’t a reason to take a kid for therapy! I’m not interested in turning my daughter into a whole case. And that’s what happens, Chaim Tzvi, let’s not kid ourselves. They start analyzing all those subconscious layers and parts and hidden scars from toddlerhood... I’m not looking to head in that direction.”

They sat into the car, and Chaim Tzvi gunned the engine.

“Look, Lani, nobody can force you to do something, but I honestly don’t see why you’re all hysterical about this. It isn’t just a fight, this is going on for a long time. You told me you witnessed something yourself; you can’t say Chevi is totally innocent.”

Lani yanked her seatbelt down, then slapped her brand-new bank account folder on the dashboard. “I can’t deal with this now.”

Chaim Tzvi was quiet. He threw her a glance before turning his eyes to the road and easing out of his parking spot.

They didn’t talk throughout the short drive home. As Chaim Tzvi slowed the car and hunted the block for a parking spot, Lani took the folder back into her hands and ran her fingers over it.

“By the way…” she started.

“Yeah?”

“I haven’t spoken to Riva in three weeks.”

* * * * *

“Call from, La-ni… Eis-dorf,” the caller ID announced.

Riva, who’d been flooding her stovetop with St. Moritz after a Great International Vegetable Soup Spill, nearly choked on the fumes.

Just like that, after three weeks, out of the blue, Lani?

Her palms trembled as she peeled the gloves off her hands and picked up the cordless phone.

For three weeks, she’d been walking around with the taste of bile in her throat. The silence between her sister and herself had filled every random space in her life, stalking her like a distorted shadow. When she’d impulsively called her sister on Motzei Shabbos, her mother had answered the phone, and she never ended up talking to Lani. Since then, she’d run her fingers over the phone’s keypad hundreds of times,

LANI YANKED OPEN THE PASSENGER DOOR. “FIGHTING WITH A KID ISN’T A REASON TO TAKE A KID FOR THERAPY!”

BY POPULAR DEMAND:

Monsey: violin and guitar.

New location! Staten Island

as though she’d forgotten how to dial, as though a fire awaited her on the other end of the line.

And now Lani was calling. Lani was the brave one.

But a minute into the conversation, Riva realized that Lani’s gesture could hardly be considered brave. Brave would’ve been to call up and say, “I’m sorry, it was wrong of me to attack you,” or even, “Can we put everything behind us? This is ridiculous. We’re hurting ourselves and each other by keeping away, I can’t stand it. Let’s just not anymore, ‘kay?”

Instead, Lani pretended to be all casual and got right down to business. “What’s happening with the anniversary? We have to finish planning this already.”

Did that mean they were on speaking terms again? Or that they were on speaking terms for the moment, to talk about the anniversary because they had no choice, that’s all?

It took a moment for Riva to find her voice. “The anniversary… uh, yeah, definitely.”

“Right, so since it’s just the two of us and our families, I was thinking we should invite all the aunts and uncles with their kids. If we’re paying for SpecTac, we may as well get our money’s worth.”

There was a note of bitterness in the way she said money’s worth, and Riva answered cautiously, “Right, okay. Good idea.”

Was she resentful about the money? SpecTac wasn’t cheap, but this was a milestone anniversary, not something they did every year. Had it been completely thoughtless of her to push this idea? It was a lot of money, for her as well, but she wanted to do this for her parents, just this once. And Lani had never complained about it, but it could easily have been her pride stopping her from objecting.

She didn’t complain now either. While Riva went on to feel awful about this whole plan, Lani went right on with technical arrangements.

“Okay, so let’s divide this up. You want to call the Miller aunts and I’ll call the Lipshutzes? And then we need to go shop for paper goods. When are you available?”

Her nonchalance was astounding.

They set up a time to go to Amazing Savings — 7:00, when their husbands were around to babysit — and hung up. As Riva pulled a fresh pair of gloves onto her slightly unsteady hands, the truth cemented in her head: Lani’s phone call wasn’t bravery, it was cowardice. The casualness was a safe way of pretending that nothing had happened, that things were totally regular between the two of them.

She hated herself for playing along. That was her own cowardice mirroring her sister’s. The issue hadn’t resolved itself; it was simply too uncomfortable to play by the rules, so they were bypassing them instead.

SHE HEARD LANI’S MIND BLARING: WE HAVE NO ROOM TO STORE AN EXTRA TOOTHPICK IN OUR TINY BASEMENT APARTMENT. THANKS TO YOURS TRULY

She scrubbed the stove with phenomenal vigor.

Cowardice aside, it was a relief that the barrier had come down, and a few hours later, when Riva met Lani at the corner of her block, she was grudgingly grateful that Lani had taken the step.

Making small talk after a threeweek silent spell was like connecting q, x, and z Scrabble letters to form words. Riva found herself overcompensating with senseless chatter, until Lani brought up the anniversary program.

“I understand that the skit is out,” she said smoothly. “What can we do instead?”

This time, Riva had to give her points for true bravery. Talking about the skit was taking the bull — or rather, the bully — by the horns.

“I’m thinking…” she said.

They arrived at Amazing Savings, and Riva nudged a wagon free. Snaking through the aisles, they quickly browsed the shelves for nothing in particular on the way to the paper goods section, because that’s what you do in Amazing Savings. Riva stopped the wagon in front of a display of scrapbook albums and accessories.

“Hey, how about a scrapbook?” she suggested. “Not one of these, don’t worry, we’re not doing any arts-n-crafts. But maybe we could collect a bunch of pictures, starting from Tatty and Mommy’s wedding up until today, and put together a photo book. What do you think?”

“Nice! It’s a great idea. It’s something they get to keep, and it’s meaningful.”

Did she really like the idea or was she trying to overcompensate this time? Grr, why was it so challenging to have a simple conversation with her sister?

Lani planted her hands on the wagon’s handlebar and wheeled it forward. From behind her, Riva couldn’t read her face, which was probably a good thing. It was best to stay in safe mode.

They stayed in safe mode as they chose plates and flatware, napkins and cups. With both of them jumping to agree with the other’s suggestions, they were done in no time. Chaim Tzvi offered to pick them up, leaving Malky home to babysit.

“I’m waiting for the day when Fraidy will be old enough to babysit,” Riva grumbled. “It’s so convenient.”

“It’ll happen before you blink,” Lani

said. “Fraidy’s a mature kid, you’ll be able to trust her.”

That was… well, if it wasn’t bravery, it sure was generous. Riva didn’t know how to respond, so she gave a little chuckle and shifted the bags in her hands.

Chaim Tzvi pulled up in front of the entrance. It took a good five minutes to shuffle the million things in the car to make room for their bags.

“Sorry about that,” Lani said. “It’s, uh, our personal sheimos truck.” She laughed self-deprecatingly.

Riva laughed right along.

Safe, safe, safe.

When Chaim Tzvi pulled up in front of the Strohs’ house, Lani gave a little cough. “Uh, do you mind, like, storing these bags in your house until the party?”

Uh-oh. This was no longer safe. She heard Lani’s mind blaring: We have no room to store an extra toothpick in our tiny basement apartment. Thanks to yours truly.

“Uh, sure,” Riva said quickly.

Because they had a ton of room to store stuff in their palatial mansion, of course.

The bitter taste in her throat resurfaced, but Riva swallowed it down. She wasn’t doing this. She wasn’t getting worked up now. She did not have the energy.

As she climbed the stairs to her apartment, her phone came to life. She put all the Amazing Savings bags down on the second-floor landing and withdrew the phone from her pocket.

“Hey, Ma, how are you?”

“I’m good. Are you out?”

“I’m stepping in now. I, uh, had to run out to buy some stuff.”

“Okay. Listen, Riv, Tatty and I would love to have company for Shabbos. Would you send us Fraidy?”

“Fraidy? Just Fraidy?”

“Yes, just Fraidy. And maybe Shaya next week. We’ll give each kid a turn.”

“Umm… I don’t see why not. I’ll ask her, but it should probably be fine.”

“Great! I can’t wait! And she likes salmon, right?”

“Y-yes. She likes salmon.”

Riva hung up and stared at the phone.

It should probably be fine.

Simchas Torah Marred by Anti-Semitic Attacks

Locally, the joy of Simchas Torah was tarnished as well, with several hate crimes taking place in and around Boro Park.

BoroPark24 reported that property owners in the area of Lawrence and McDonald Avenues had the windows of their sukkahs shot out by an individual with a BB gun, with three people also shot at by an unknown suspect with a BB gun. Witnesses reported that the shooter appeared to be of Middle Eastern descent.

In what may be an unrelated incident, a couple walking in the area with their baby narrowly avoided injury as a glass bottle that was thrown at them failed to hit its mark. Police were called to the scene after the conclusion of Simchas Torah, but found few clues that would lead them to a suspect.

Not far away, in Flatbush, a Jewish teen was attacked on Simchas Torah night as he was walking near East 12th Street and Avenue N. According to Yeshiva World News, two MiddleEastern men approached the teen and asked him if he was Jewish before throwing him to the ground and fleeing the scene on foot. Both the NYPD and the Flatbush Shomrim Shabbos patrol responded to the scene, retrieving security footage of the incident.

Anyone with any information about any of these incidents is asked to contact the Crime Stoppers Hotline by phone at 800-577-TIPS or by text at 247637 (CRIMES) and then entering TIP577.

Local Families Trapped in Guatemala by Political Protests

More than a dozen families who spent Sukkos in Guatemala found themselves trapped in Central America after political protests closed the roads, preventing them from reaching the airport for their return flights home.

Rockland Daily reported that the group includes families from both Monsey and Boro Park who traveled to San Pedro La Laguna for Sukkos. The small lakeside town in the southwestern portion of the country is located more than three hours

away from Guatemala’s La Aurora Airport, the closest international airport.

“The only way to get to the airport is through a propeller plane or helicopter, a service that is very unreliable,” explained one of the stranded travelers.

As the travelers continue to try to find their way back home, the protests continue in Guatemala amid accusations that the country’s attorney general is attempting to prevent newly elected President Bernardo Arevalo from taking office in January 2024.

More Than Just Rides: Uber Introduces Package Return Service

If you hate the hassle of schlepping to the post office to return a package, Uber Technologies doesn’t only feel your pain; it also has an easy and inexpensive solution.

Uber introduced its package return service on October 4, charging just $5 to return up to five packages to the post office, UPS or FedEx in a single pickup, the rate dropping to just $3 for Uber One customers. Each package must be valued at under $100, be completely sealed and weigh less than 30 pounds.

The service is available in nearly 5,000 major United States cities and is provided through the company’s Uber Connect, which also gives users the ability to send or receive packages. Live package tracking is available through the Uber app, with users receiving visual confirmation or a photo of their receipt when the drop-off is complete.

Uber’s package return service does have some exclusions, including fragile or illegal items; alcohol and tobacco products; perishable food and beverages; medications, vitamins or supplements; money, gift cards, lottery tickets and transferable securities; and any dangerous, hazardous or flammable items, including medical waste.

Owner

the owner of a Sullivan County tallis factory refused to give in to despair even as his property went up in flames behind him.

Sullivan County Democrat reported that the fire broke out at 601 Harris Road in Ferndale the day after Yom Kippur. The three-alarm blaze had volunteer firefighters leaving their jobs when the call for assistance came in at 12:48 p.m., with members of the Liberty Fire Department joined by crews from Swan Lake, White Sulphur Springs, Hurleyville, Loch Sheldrake, Livingston Manor, Neversink, Monticello, Youngsville, Roscoe, Rock Hill, Kauneonga Lake, Woodridge and the Town of Bethel FAST team.

The metal structure of the building that housed Farkas Talleisim, as well as the lack of an on-site water supply, hampered the firefighters’ effort to extinguish the flames upon their arrival. Liberty Fire Chief Mark Johnstone said that at times the smoke was so thick that firefighters were unable to see each other. Once the building’s roof collapsed, a highway department excavator was used to pull the structure apart so that firefighters could finally attack the fire.

Even as his building went up in smoke, owner Duvid Meir Farkas stood outside and recorded a short video clip, sharing Rabbi Nachman of Breslov’s words about accepting difficult situations, as reported on VIN News.

“When one knows that all things are done by Hashem and are for the best, he lives a life that’s like Olam Haba, because he knows nothing is by mistake,” said Farkas. “But when one forgets, then his life is like Gehenom.”

It took firefighters more than six hours to get the blaze under control. The Sullivan County Bureau of Fire and the New York State Police are investigating the cause of the fire.

In a Surprise Move, FDA Declines To Approve EpiPen Alternative

Just months after it seemed as if the Food and Drug Administration would grant approval to an epinephrine nasal spray that could be used in place of the traditional Epipen, the agency withheld its endorsement, deciding that further studies were needed on the groundbreaking device.

Epinephrine has long been the gold standard in reversing severe allergic reactions. NBC News reported that the FDA’s

advisory committee had voted to approve Neffy, a nasal spray and the first needle-free alternative to the EpiPen, back in May. But a statement released by the FDA in late September called for additional research on Neffy, saying that clinical trials didn’t present enough data and that the drug wasn’t studied in people who were experiencing an anaphylactic reaction.

Allergist Dr. Zachary Rubin of Oak Brook, Illinois, said that he was shocked by the FDA’s decision.

“There are no alternatives right now,” said Rubin. “You basically have epinephrine auto-injector devices, needle options, and people have been clamoring for years to get a needle-free option.”

Reviewing a drug intended for life-threatening emergencies is a complicated situation, one that raises significant ethical questions because randomized controlled trials involve giving only some patients the actual treatment, while others receive a placebo. Georgetown University School of Medicine emergency medicine professor Dr. Maryann Amirshahi suggested that the drug could be used on patients undergoing severe allergic reactions in an allergist’s office or in an emergency room setting, where trusted treatment would be available at a moment’s notice. A member of the FDA advisory committee, Amirshahi voted not to approve Neffy.

“I listened to the parents in the hearing and I heard them talk about how traumatic it was to give their children a shot,” said Amirshahi. “But to me, as a parent, panel member, pharmacologist and ER doc who has seen her fair share of anaphylaxis, the scary thing was not the shot, but a drug failing in life-threatening conditions.”

ARS Pharmaceuticals, which developed Neffy, plans to submit its application to the FDA once again in 2024.

With an Eye Towards Tourism, Woodbury Common Plans Massive Expansion

Nearly 40 years after first opening its doors to shoppers, Woodbury Common Premium Outlets is planning yet another expansion, one that will position the already large retail complex as a significant tourist destination.

Mid Hudson News reported that the shopping center announced plans in late September to add 155,000 square feet of new retail and restaurant space, a parking garage that could

accommodate over 3,000 vehicles, and a 200-room hotel. The expansion would also include new walkways, improved crosswalks and a children’s play area, generating approximately 770 new jobs once the project is completed. Construction at the site would create over 1,650 jobs while generating $250 million for local and state economies.

Local officials applauded the announcement, one that would be a boost to Orange County as well as the entire Hudson Valley.

“Woodbury Common’s improvements will benefit Orange County communities and our tourism industry for years to come,” said County Executive Steven Neuhaus. “We’re grateful that since day one, Woodbury Common has been a great neighbor, created numerous entry level and career path jobs, and has been a major driver of both sales tax revenue and regional economic opportunity.”

Target Blames Shoplifting for Nine Store Closures

Citing concerns about the wellbeing of both its employees and its customers, Target will be closing nine stores in four different states as of October 21.

Announcing the news on September 26, the retail giant apologized for the closures at the 117th Street store in Manhattan; three locations each in California and Portland, Oregon; and two in Seattle, Washington.

“We cannot continue operating these stores because theft and organized retail crime are threatening the safety of our team and guests and contributing to unsustainable business performance,” said Target in a statement.

The statement also acknowledged that measures taken by Target so far to deter thieves, such as adding extra employees, hiring third-party guards and using theft-deterrent tools, failed to solve the problem.

Target CEO Brian Cornell said several weeks ago that assaults on store employees in the period from January through May were up 120% over the same time last year.

“Our team continues to face an unacceptable amount of retail theft and organized retail crime,” said Cornell. “Unfortunately, safety incidents associated with theft are moving in the wrong direction.”

A recent survey by the National Retail Federation showed that not only were in-store thefts on the rise, but the number of violent incidents had increased as well.

Editors’ Note:

On Motzei Yom Tov, our nation was met with the horrific news that the Palestinian terror group Hamas launched a devastating attack in Eretz Yisroel’s southern region, murdering hundreds of innocent men, women and children. As a family magazine, The Boro Park View will be refraining from printing an exhaustive report on the ongoing news about the situation in Eretz Yisroel. However, our hearts lie with acheinu bnei Yisroel as we continue to daven and await good news. May our tefillos be niskabel, and may we be zoche to the ultimate geulah very soon.

As we celebrated Simchas Torah on this side of the world, over in Eretz Yisroel, a tragedy was unfolding. A Palestinian assault — the worst breach in Israel’s defenses since 1973 — saw Hamas gunmen kill hundreds of Israelis after breaching security barriers under the cover of thousands of rockets fired from Gaza.

The following is how the events unfolded.

ROCKET BARRAGE

At about 6:30 a.m., Hamas fired a huge barrage of between 2,500 and 3,000 rockets across southern Israel, with sirens heard as far away as Tel Aviv. At least one woman was reported killed by the rockets, which reached cities as far as Yerushalayim.

GROUND INFILTRATION

This rocket barrage served as cover for an unprecedented, multi-pronged infiltration of fighters, with the Israeli military saying at 7:40 a.m. that Palestinian gunmen had crossed into Israel.

Hamas deployed a force of about 1,000 fighters, organizing them into specialized units. Most fighters crossed through breaches in land security barriers separating Gaza and Israel, but other militants entered via parachute or motorboat. It took hours until police and military forces regained control of the area.

ISRAELI RETALIATION

In retaliation, the Israeli air force targeted thousands of locations in Gaza, including rocket launchers directed at Eretz Yisroel and 21 high-rise buildings that served militant activity. Hundreds of Hamas fighters were killed inside Israel and dozens more captured.

As of Monday night, the death toll on the Israeli side stood as high as 900, r”l, with over 2,500 reportedly wounded. Tragically, over 150 Israelis were taken hostage by Hamas fighters during the assault.

We may only be in the first days of what will hopefully be a short war, but it has felt different from the start.

The first clue that the matzav was pretty bad was the fact that on Simchas Torah, sirens sounded every 45 minutes or so from 8:15 to 11:30 a.m., sometimes one immediately after the other. So many sirens in such a short amount of time is unheard of in Yerushalayim. Bits of news made the rounds quickly. An elderly neighbor’s aide said that terrorists had infil-

trated the south. Some people were saying that an army base had been breached. Others claimed that terrorists had kidnapped civilians and taken them to Gaza.

We didn’t know what to believe.

In the meantime, life went on. I took my kids to shul for hakafos

and saw that everyone else had the same idea. The ezras nashim was packed with women, children and babies. The men sang and danced, and the kids ran around chasing candy, paying no heed to the sirens. Israelis sure are resilient! One woman said that she had hired

Having lived in Yerushlayim for a decade now, I’ve already lived through a war in the north, the infamous Knife Intifada of 2015-2016 (in which my husband and I walked past the body of a dead terrorist on Rechov Yirmiyahu), as well as a handful of rocket sirens in Yerushalayim.

Some people were saying that an army base had been breached. Others claimed that terrorists had kidnapped civilians and taken them to Gaza. We didn’t know what to believe

a young Israeli waiter for the seudah, but he told her he had been called up to the reserves.

That’s when I knew that things were really bad.

None of us imagined just how horrific it actually was. During one of the morning sirens, I thought of the people in southern border towns like Sderot, who experience rocket attacks far more often than we do. If the sirens were so frequent in Yerushalayim, who knew what they were going through down south?

I couldn’t have known that in the south, the problem wasn’t rockets. In the south there was a massacre. Six hundred, seven hundred, now over a thousand lives. A thousand Yidden. A thousand!

But we wouldn’t know that until later.

And then there was the quiet. Our little corner of Romema is fairly noisy at all times of day or night. But beginning Simchas Torah afternoon, everything was quiet. Kids didn’t play in the street. On Motzei Yom Tov, the garbage collectors didn’t clang the dumpsters. Cars didn’t honk. Buses didn’t rumble. All we heard was the distant roar of the fighter jets that took to the skies during Yom Tov and have been there ever since.

The sound of silence in a once-bustling neighborhood is disconcerting and eerie. Was this the calm before the storm?

My parents were visiting from overseas and staying in our building. When it became clear that my kids were worried and scared, my mother sang “Kol ha’olam kulo gesher tzar me’od” and translated the words. They caught on quickly and sang it for hours. She also told them stories of the Six Day War and the Yom Kippur War, which she experienced as a child growing up in Yerushalayim. She managed to turn the whole thing into a chavaya for the little ones.

On Motzei Yom Tov, most hakafos shniyos were cancelled. The rabbanim and roshei yeshiva ruled it improper to rejoice.

Isru Chag – Sunday – was a blur of laundry, headlines and body counts. With a sickening sense of dread and disbelief, we watched as the numbers of dead, wounded, missing and captured kept going up and up (they’re still rising). The rocket attacks in some parts of the country were, and still are, endless.

There were no sirens in Yerushalayim, which lent a bizarrely surreal element to the experience, like

we were waiting for the other shoe to drop. Some sukkahs were taken down, many are still up; it’s hard to get your act together when there’s a war going on. A neighbor distributed Tehillim Mechulak, and the kids sat in the courtyard schmoozing about the war between kapitlach. Several large yeshivos announced that they would begin the zman early, starting from the day after Isru Chag. We need all the zchusim from limud Torah that we can get.

On Monday morning, we were surprised to learn that my son would have cheder. No other cheder that I knew of was in session, but I sent him

With a sickening sense of dread and disbelief, we watched as the numbers of dead, wounded, missing and captured kept going up and up

off calmly since his cheder is just down the street. At 12:00 p.m., the siren sounded. This time, my girls were more anxious than they had been on Yom Tov. We also counted more booms than ever before.

My five-year-old declared, “I’m not scared. I’m not! I don’t want to talk about it!” So we took out some paper and crayons and my kids spent the next hour drawing the war. My seven-year-old daughter drew an Arab wearing a keffiyeh, long robe, and a frown, standing next to a building full of shuttered windows. In the blue skies above, red bombs are exploding in white clouds (her version of the Iron Dome causing the rockets to explode in mid-air). I asked her why the terrorist was sad. She said, “I don’t know — I couldn’t draw him smiling!” Our children are so innocent and pure, they can’t understand how anyone can be happy about rockets and war.

By this time, Yom Tov was over in chutz l’aretz, and our families told us they had spent the previous two days saying Tehillim. Those of us in Eretz Yisroel had figured all along that everyone knew that war had broken out and that Yidden abroad were having a worry-filled Yom Tov. While you were worrying about us, we were worrying about you being worried.

Today, the weather was wet and heavy. Many local stores were open, but people moved sluggishly. This evening, a chasunah was held in a simcha hall next door, and the uncomfort-

able silence is no longer. At 9:00 p.m., we were advised to stock up on basics: water, canned food, flashlights, battery packs, battery-operated radios, medication, first-aid kits. In the last few hours, supermarket shelves have been cleared out. It’s past midnight on Monday night as I write this, and the sounds outside are normal — Israelis going about their business like it’s in the middle of the day. But sounds can be deceptive; in reality, we’re in limbo, preparing and waiting for tomorrow.

One child has just woken up with yet another nightmare, and I wonder — is this our new normal? Down south, where the horror began, survivors have either been evacuated or confined to their homes for days. Those kids are utterly traumatized.

The questions and dread and what-ifs haunt us.

How will this end?

What can we do?

But we know the answer to that last question: We do what Klal Yisroel has always done, throughout the generations, as each enemy has risen against us to destroy us. We turn to Hashem in Torah and tefillah and beg Him, Who controls all, to rescue us and save us.

In the south, where the war began; in Yerushalayim, the heart of the universe; in America or England or wherever you are, acheinu kol beis Yisroel, we’re there for each other, davening together.

We do what Klal Yisroel has always done, throughout the generations, as each enemy has risen against us to destroy us. We turn to Hashem in Torah and tefillah

How Your Role Changes As A Parent After You Marry Them Off

4. GIVING TO YOUR MARRIED CHILDRENHOW, WHEN, AND WHAT

Dina teaches you how to establish policies for what you can give within your financial resources and physical capabilities. This enables you to give freely without resentment while upholding your truth and ensuring fairness between couples.

What was the inspiration behind creating a program like this?

When I married off my first child 11 years ago, I vividly remember feeling apprehensive and uncertain. My top priority was to maintain a loving relationship with both my child and my new child-in-law, but I lacked the knowledge and confidence to navigate this new chapter successfully. I had witnessed many instances where married children were disturbed by their parents meddling and it was causing harm, and I was determined to avoid that outcome. The challenge was distinguishing between what was considered mixing in and genuine helpfulness. Was offering assistance perceived as interference, or was it seen as support? Was saying “no” when I genuinely couldn't help considered rejection or an acknowledgment of my current limitations?

As a life coach, I've encountered cases where both parents and married children were upset with each other, yet neither side knew how to resolve the issues. It became evident to me that there was a real need for a step-by-step guide to help parents and married children comprehend the changes that occur when a child leaves home for marriage. They needed insights into the common problems both sides encounter and reliable solutions. What if parents and children had the knowledge to prevent many of these problems from arising in the first place? This is a program I wished I had access to, both for myself and for my children.

What are the topics covered?

1. PARENT-CHILD DYNAMIC SHIFT

Understand your new role as a parent of married children and discover how to support your child's journey into complete independence.

“This program has been transformative for me, lifting the emotional weight that accompanied my relationship with my married children. It provided a comprehensive guide to navigating these dynamic shifts, freeing me from the burden of excessive responsibility and guilt. As a result, I am so much more openhearted towards my children, and they are responding in kind!

As a child speaking: From the perspective of a young married, I must admit that prior to taking this course, I often harbored judgment towards my parents and in-laws. I resented them for not providing what I needed. I now recognize that my parents and in-laws are just human and are limited. I let go of my unrealistic expectation of them being the solution to my problemsand was rewarded with a newfound level of love and connection!

2. ESSENTIAL CONVERSATIONS BEFORE MARRIAGE

The program covers critical conversations to have with your child, to set them up for success after marriage. These discussions ensure that your child is well-prepared for any situation, without the constant need for parental intervention. Topics include relationship guidance, gender roles, financial matters, pregnancy, and intimacy.

“As a parent, I recently guided my son before his marriage using the invaluable advice on this program. It enabled me to have meaningful conversations with him before his wedding and then I could let him lead his own life without my constant involvement.

This transition was challenging for me emotionally with my other married children, but this time I was equipped with the tools to navigate it successfully. I now enjoy newfound calm and peace.”

3. UNDERSTANDING BOUNDARIES AND IMPROVING COMMUNICATION

Learn to distinguish which issues belong to the parent and which to the child, along with guidelines for when it's appropriate to intervene and when not to. Discover effective ways to communicate these boundaries and maintain authenticity in your interactions with your children.

“I used to spoil my newly-married children, but this generosity led to a sense of entitlement and resentment. From the program, I learned to identify my boundaries and communicate them effectively. Now, every gesture towards them is genuine, and I no longer feel pressured to accommodate their every request. This authenticity has fostered an open and loving relationship.”

“Before this program, saying no was a challenge, even when necessary. Now, when I say yes, it's wholehearted, and if I need to decline, I do so without harming our relationship. I recently had to tell my son that we couldn't include his family in our vacation plans. Thanks to effective communication, it went smoothly and didn't harm our relationship.”

Generations in Harmony is a revolutionary new course for women, led by Dina Friedman. The topic? Creating and maintaining a harmonious relationship with your married children. *Stories are

NAVIGATING RUPTURES, REPAIRS, AND RED FLAGS

5.

Ruptures are a natural part of close relationships. This program empowers you to recognize when repair is possible and how to successfully mend the relationship. It also helps you identify red flag situations, offering resources for addressing them within marriage or within the parent-child relationship.

“I joined this program to improve my relationship with my married child. It proved invaluable as I navigated a complicated situation that strained our family bonds. The program provided clarity regarding what I could change and what I had to accept, and how to find inner peace and serenity even in situations beyond my control.”

Who would benefit most from this course?

This course is designed for mothers marrying off their children who are invested in the successful transition of the couple into marriage and beyond. It’s also essential for young married women who want to maintain open and harmonious relationships with their parents and in-laws while nurturing their own healthy marital relationship.

What can participants expect to gain from completing the course?

Generations in Harmony equips both parents and young marrieds with invaluable information and tools to create harmonious bonds within the family.

NAOMI LEVENSPIL

Grocery shopping, dentist appointments, school schedules, simchos. Laundry, meals, snacks, Shabbos, Yom Tov. Pick up the kids, drop them off, work. There are so many pieces to a frum lifestyle.

HOW ONE WOMAN HOLDS IT TOGETHER

In the few minutes before I began writing this article, I was Wasting Time. I guess Wasting Time is a luxury, and I know for a fact that it is a luxury that I do not have. I also think know, without a doubt, that Blimi C. would never Waste Time. Surprisingly, despite her many talents and her acclaimed organizational genius, I actually like Blimi a lot. When I asked her to do this interview, she was confused, which made her immediately less formidable and more relatable.

“I’m not a home organizer or professional party planner,” she insisted. “I just have a method of doing things that works for me.”

I had been afraid I would walk away from this interview with the discouraged, mousy feeling that running a well-oiled home for a large busy family is an impossible feat except for those wealthier and more talented than myself. But instead, I walked away feeling like I can do this too — or at least some of it, on a good day.

I admit, I was slightly skeptical at first. After all, I’m also intelligent and pretty organized, have a bunch of kids, work, and manage to hold it together in a way that mostly works for me. Why should someone else’s system be gamechanging? That’s what I was thinking until I paused Wasting Time writing this article and managed to escape my house fully dressed for a wedding on the wrong day. That’s when I realized that personal organizational skills and intelligence notwithstanding, I could use a dose of Blimi’s discipline and consistency.

THE LIST MASTER

Blimi is the busy mother of a large family, with a constant stream of guests, too. She’s also a high school history teacher. She teaches her students about Napoleon, whom she claims was a fantastic student as a child. (My research is more ambiguous about this point, though it seems that he was at least a good student in some subjects as he got older.) When he was asked how he remembered so many facts, Napoleon said that he had pigeonholes in his mind, and he sorted the information into these tiny cubbies where they remained organized for future recall. True

or not, that’s pretty much how Blimi’s brain works.

To Blimi, it all boils down to the real estate available in her brain, and freeing up that precious brain space for things that truly matter. To this end, everything Blimi needs to remember or know goes onto a list.

“If it’s not on a list, it doesn’t exist,” she says simply.

When a child needs something for school, he needs to leave a note on her desk so it gets entered onto that night’s list. When she needs to remember an appointment, she leaves a note on her fridge for entry onto the list. The list gets consolidated and rewritten every single night — and lest you feel intimidated, Blimi is quick to point out that most things stay on the list from day to day. The point isn’t that everything happens magically, but that it exists on the list instead of cluttering her valuable headspace.

“Our brains are overloaded,” Blimi says, “and it’s hard to keep them organized. My lists do all the work for me.”

Here is where Blimi differs from professional home organizers and typical DIY hackers. According to her, “things don’t have to be perfect.” She has absolutely no airs and doesn’t do things for show. She doesn’t use fancy notebooks for her lists or expensive bins for her organization projects. She uses whatever is available, cheap and works. Her lists are mostly on scraps of papers, and the long-term lists (like menus from previous simchos or Yamim Tovim) are in plain binders. Our conversation crackles with a sense of purpose, energy and resourcefulness as Blimi explains some of the methods that work for her — although it never even occurred to her to call them “systems” or “hacks.”

HOW SHE DOES IT

All the list-making sounds time-consuming to me, but Blimi explains that her systems make less work for her, not more. In addition to clearing her mind, her lists take all the guesswork and trial and error out of many household

Please tell me I’m not the only one this happened to!

tasks, so her efforts are focused and effective. The result is that she wastes little valuable time. And because her systems are — for lack of a better word — so systematic, she really isn’t busy with them.

“It takes just three minutes at night to rewrite my daily list,” Blimi says. And unlike me, when she starts her Yom Tov cooking, she doesn’t have to scramble to make her menu or locate recipes or ingredients.

HERE ARE SOME OF BLIMI’S HACKS (my word, not hers)

SCHOOL-RELATED PAPERS:

• Every note from school goes into a binder in the kitchen.

• Every page that will be referenced during the year (calendars, bus schedules, class lists) goes into a sheet protector.

• Short term notes (school events, trip reminders) go into the front pocket to be thrown out as soon as they are obsolete.

RECIPES – YOM TOV AND SIMCHA PLANNING:

• All recipes go into binders with categories (many are from The Boro Park View !)

• One binder is reserved just for menus and simcha planning, and it contains menus from the past twenty years.

• Specific information about every Yom Tov and simcha meal gets recorded. For example:

How many guests were at each meal and who they were

What was served and how it was received

Which recipes were used and what quantities were eaten or left over

What changes or tweaks should be made to those recipes in the future

Where ingredients were purchased and what quantities were used

Where tables and tablecloths were borrowed from Table configuration and table set-up

Unlike some other people we shall not name.

I bet she never went to a wedding on the wrong day.

Remember to go back after Yom Tov and add that!

L. Zahler is saying: I took the Sujok course with Mrs. Shany Horowitz and am thrilled with the knowledge she taught me about Sujok and it’s healing processes. Of how ones body could be instrumental in healing itself bs"d with Sujok.

Rivky Fischman is saying:

I had quite severe middle back pain and I put black pepper every night on the back of my palm - the spot that was painful when I rolled the stick. After 2-3 days I was fine. I still keep on putting black pepper every night because I am prone to lower back pain. So every night I feel around with the stick for the painful spot and I am B”H fine every day as far as my back is concerned.

Devorah Robenov is saying:

I feel so lucky to have been a part of this Sujok class with Shani. This has been a life transforming experiance. The course helps you develop great skills to help yourself and others and maintain a healthy life. Taking the class opened up my mind to a alternative healing methods and it really works!

Thank you Shani for the opportunity to learn and for expand my knowledge of healing with Sujok.

Perl L. is saying:

You will not regret it!

Shani brings an amazing Hashkafa in a life changing self-help method you and your family, friends,will benefit from! Don't miss it! I experienced with Sujok my shortest living migraine i've ever had, and b"h haven't had any since. it helped my kids with bedwetting issues.

Yocheved Aryeh is saying:

"

After having had a root canal I suffered for many years from sinus pain and finally found much needed relief with the Sujok method. The Sujok method is extremely effective in helping relieve many ailments.

I truly recommend taking this course for people who want to remain healthy without medication.

Wow! Imagine going to the sock store only ONCE!

CLOTHES SHOPPING:

• Before the new season, take inventory for each household member. Make a list for each person, and list everything they need for the season — accessories, clothing, shoes, etc.

• Before shopping, consolidate all the lists, and arrange them by store so that you only make one trip to each store

KITCHEN HACKS:

In her pull-out pantry, Blimi uses recycled coffee jars to store all of her grains, breadcrumbs, pasta and beans in a uniform way. Since they’re transparent, she can see at a glance anything running low.

• No labeling for meat or dairy! While labeling is every home organizer’s dream, Blimi cooks everything pareve unless it actually contains meat or dairy — so no need to label for milchigs/fleishigs

• Scrapbook containers: Use these large, flat, freezer-friendly containers for everything from meatballs to gefilte fish and cookies and kneidlach. Line with parchment paper, freeze, and take out as many as needed at a time.

THE REST OF THE FAMILY

Now, THAT’s geshikt!

Or agonizing. Or scrambling. Or making phone calls to everyone she knows to see who might remember how many chairs were needed last time.

• Ziploc bags: Use freezer Ziploc bags for soup, compote, fried onions (just break off as much as needed) and more. They can even stand upright inside the freezer door, and you will have no containers to wash!

MUDROOM/COAT CLOSET:

• Give each child a labeled bin for personal objects, like reflectors and gloves.

• When you straighten up, put any papers or personal belongings for that child into his or her bin to be sorted and put away later.

• Even if you can’t straighten up as often as you like, things should have a home so that they can eventually be returned there. If objects are “homeless,” they can never be returned, and that’s when things get out-of-control messy.

Although Blimi doesn’t specifically train her kids to be organized, some pick it up on their own as they get older. She enjoyed watching her fifteen-year-old bachur copy her as he mapped out a family vacation last year. “He made lists of clothing for each child, food and appliances to bring, shuls and minyan schedules…”

Ironically, Blimi claims that she wouldn’t be able to find anything on her husband’s desk, and she was keenly interested in the key finder/ trackers that I recently bought. Purchased for my husband’s possessions (and my shalom bayis), it was probably the best $19.99 I ever spent, and now Blimi’s purchase can be my first ever affiliate commission.

What fascinates me about my conversation with Blimi is her pragmatism, resourcefulness and competence without any thought toward trying to keep up, impress, or look perfect. She’s not sourcing fancy containers, and I doubt “tablescape” is a thing in her house. But when she makes her next beautiful simcha, she doesn’t have to do any thinking. The details have already been committed to paper and are ready to be brought to life once again.

CHAPTER 1

I never thought I would become a home organizer. Mainly because I didn’t even really know what a home organizer was. I’m a people person, I love people. Stuff doesn’t interest me. What’s a container store? An entire store for containers? You’re joking, right?

I come from a corporate family. We all work in offices, sit at desks in front of computers. That was what I had done my entire adult life, that was what everyone in my family did. I never considered anything else.

But I had gone back to work after a maternity leave — back to the office, back to the desk, back to clocking in and clocking out — and on Day 2 I was walking back to

my car when a thought occurred to me:

I am not going back to that desk.

It wasn’t a slowly dawning revelation or a possibility that I struggled to process. It was a sudden, firm decision, with no analysis or mental wrangling attached. I was not going back to that desk.

But… now what?

I drove home and got out of my car. My neighbor was standing outside, watching her toddler ride up and down the block.

“You went back to work?” she asked, by way of greeting.

“Yes,” I said, “but I’m never going back again.”

She didn’t miss a beat. “You should come work for me,” she said. “I need an assistant.”

SARA

She was a professional home organizer. To me, “home organizer” was a nice way of saying “cleaning lady.” She was offering me a job as a cleaning lady’s assistant.

I was so desperate, I said yes. * * * * *

On my first day of the job, I didn’t feel like a professional. I didn’t even feel like a cleaning lady. I felt like a visitor to another planet.

I like to think I’m a nice person, but I found myself thinking all kinds of things:

These people are nuts.

Who spends money on a professional organizer?

So gashmius’dig!

But then one day we were hired to organize Rabbi Frankel’s* house.

Rabbi Frankel’s married son was the one who called us. That was a little unusual; usually the client calls on their own and usually it’s a woman. But Rabbi Frankel had only sons, they were all married, and it was his oldest son who contacted us. His father was living alone after losing his wife, and he wasn’t used to keeping house.

“He manages fine alone during the week,” Rabbi Frankel Jr. reported, “but we made a rotation so one of us goes to spend Shabbos with him each week.” There were seven

Frankel sons. “And it just doesn’t work. He can’t possibly do all the preparation for hosting a large family of young children for an entire Shabbos. We need help.”

I remember how we came into the house and saw a typical retiree’s home: A few cups in the cabinet, half a bottle of milk in the fridge, a single box of tissues. You could tell Rabbi Frankel was a neat and tidy person. But there was no way, I thought, that a large family with young children could manage here every Shabbos.

We got to work.

By the time we were done, the house was completely intuitive. Everything a guest might need was exactly where they would be standing when they realized they needed it. We put hooks in the mudroom, a boots tray near the door, raincoats and Shaynecoats in all sizes in the closet. We stocked the bathroom vanities: cases of tissues under the sink; toothpaste,

CLEAR WINNER

This is my favorite basic bin. It’s transparent so you can see what’s inside, and is a convenient size for so many areas around the house.

ORGANIZE ME

Q: Why is it so important to throw things away? I spent good money on it! And what if I need it one day?

A: If you have a hard time throwing things away, buy fewer things! For the things you already have and don’t want to discard, you can store them in the basement or attic if you have the space available. But if not, they’re just useless items disorganizing your home. Look out for a longer discussion on this in a later issue.

toothbrushes, floss and cups in the drawer. There were coffee supplies in the cabinet over the coffee machine; diapers, wipes, onesies and Desitin in the drawers under the changing table; and best of all, we labeled every drawer, bin and container so that anyone who came for Shabbos — even if they came only once every seven weeks — would know exactly where to find and put anything.

By the time we were done, the house was homey, welcoming, and had everything you could possibly need over a weekend, no matter how old you were. It was like a self-hosting house.

I had thought an organizer was a glorified cleaning lady, or maybe a rich person’s extravagance. But now I saw how important organization could be. Now Rabbi Frankel didn’t have to be alone, and he didn’t have to be the host. His house did the work for him. Organization made it possible for a Zeidy to always be surrounded by his family.

It was a turning point for me. As I evolved from an assistant to owning my own organizing business, my mantra became, “Make your house work for you.” * * * * *

You know most people by what they look like outside their homes. You meet them at work, at simchas, at the grocery store. But I have a different view. I see what people look like inside their homes. Up close and zoomed in.

Working so closely with people has changed me over the years. I’ve become kinder and more compassionate toward others… and toward myself. I no longer feel like an alien on another planet. I’ve learned that we’re all human, with different needs (a case of water in the bedroom) and our own unique idiosyncrasies (a toothbrush in the kitchen).

Six years ago, I stood near my neighbor’s mailbox and accepted a job as a cleaning lady’s assistant. Today, I’m a professional home organizer, and I love helping clients create their best home, where they and their family can grow into their best selves.

TAKE IT HOME

The first step to organizing is deciding which possessions you want to continue to own.

• Choose which room you want to tackle first.

• Choose which closet, shelf, cabinet or space in that room to tackle first.

• Take everything out of that space. “Everything” comes from the Latin word “every” which means “all, total, complete” and the Greek word “thing” which means “every single thing in that space without exception, even the things you think should be an exception.”

You need to do this in order to assess how big your space is, how much it can comfortably store, and which items are worth keeping.

• Once you’ve taken everything out, put it all on a table or other clean surface. Discard as many items as possible. Do not think. Do not analyze, consider, reminisce or worry. Just discard all the items you never use and don’t need.

• Now comes the tricky part. Look through what’s left. Try to discard some more items. Aim for the just-in-case items that you haven’t used in a long time but are still faithfully storing — you know, just in case. The gloves that never worked for anyone, the skincare products you never used, the wire that looks like it’s important even though you don’t know what it’s from.

• When you are sure you can’t discard any more items, the stuff remaining on the table is what is going back into the designated space. Sort it into categories, such as by season, or by the child it belongs to.

Congratulations, the things you’re keeping are sorted!

Long ago, before I ever worked in a grocery store, I assumed the boxes appearing at my door made their way there by a sort of magic produced by my command. I never thought about the effort that went into preparing my order. I jotted down a list, either faxed or called it in, and voilà! A few hours later, the items I requested were parked neatly at my door. Now that I have some inside knowledge, and the experience of scores of orders put together on your behalf, here is a short overview of what your local grocery employee wishes you would know.

Iknow you can hardly imagine it, but a human being will be handpicking the items off the shelves for you. This happens at human speed. Bear in mind that the grocery employee will also need to maneuver around and exhibit patience for other customers in the store. (Computerized robots that can perform this type of job have yet to be introduced to our local stores — but we’re working on it!)

Due to further human limitations, an illegible handwriting on an faxed order, or the inclusion of items that do not exist, are likely to delay your order even more. Items that aren’t specific enough are liable to do the same. What do you mean by the impossible “plain flavored bread crumbs”? Or the as-

of-yet invented “frosted French fries”? Or the general “baby formula”?

(As another example, a customer recently asked for “8 pink Dove chocolate bars.” We used the process of elimination to figure this one out. Since we don’t carry chocolate bars in Dove pink flavor, and we knew Dove soap bars don’t come in chocolate flavor, the only remaining possibility was that

the customer was dreaming of chocolate when she was ordering soap bars. Those will be in aisle six.)

While the policy in some supermarkets is to have the employee skip the iffy item in question, or to choose the likeliest object, other groceries will have us placing a call to you to clarify what you meant. Whatever the case, this will only mean a further delay in the processing of your order.

Here are some more encounters with customers who either requested items that tripped us up, or otherwise left us scratching our heads.

WHEN DETAILS COUNT

ME: Hi. I’m calling about your grocery order. I just have a quick question… I see you want “icing glaze in a box.” What product are we talking about, exactly? I can’t seem to find anything called “icing glaze” in a box.

CUSTOMER: Yeah, thanks so much for calling! Well… it’s an icing glaze… that comes in a box. You know?

ME: So… is it a ready icing that you can spread, or does it come as a powder?

CUSTOMER: Um… I’m not sure.

ME: Can you give me an actual product name? Or tell me a company name like Bakers’ Choice, Gefen, Shufra or what?

CUSTOMER: What’s the difference? It’s icing in a box!

ME: (Trying to be nice) Okay, so I don’t see anything here that fits your description… Seems like we don’t have it.

CUSTOMER: You don’t have it?

ME: Looks like we don’t.

CUSTOMER: So tell me what you do have.

ME: I am so sorry, but I am unable to name all the products and varieties from our baking aisle as we are extremely busy. Please contact us when you have a name for the item you want.

CUSTOMER: Okay, okay. So just give me any icing in a box.

ME: (Deep breathing…) We don’t have any.

CUSTOMER: Okay, so skip it, then.

A MATTER OF A MISPRONUNCIATION

CUSTOMER: I need two boxes of rise cries pies.

ME: Can you repeat that, please?

CUSTOMER: Rise cries pies.

ME: I don’t know what that is. Can you explain it to me?

CUSTOMER: RISE CRIES PIES! You know!

ME: Um, well, I’ve never heard of it.

CUSTOMER: It’s a breakfast cereal! You know, Taanug or Kemach!

(Come on… you can do this… just think… Rise cries pies… Rise cries pies… What could this customer mean? Let’s try saying it faster… Risecriespies… Risecriespies…) WAIT! Do you mean crisp rice cereal? Rice crispies?

CUSTOMER: Yes! But you’re saying it wrong. Its rice cries pies.

THE NON-VARIETY VARIETY

I’m putting together an order when I reach the item “1 Everything Dressing.”

ME: (Calling her up) Hi. I’m calling from the grocery. I just have a quick question about your or der… You’re asking for something called “Everything Dressing,” but there’s no Everything Dressing on the shelf.

CUSTOMER: Do you know what salad dressing is?

ME: Yes.

CUSTOMER: Are you familiar with the Salad Mate brand?

ME: Yes.

CUSTOMER: Okay, then, so you should see it already! It’s a black bottle.

ME: I’m very familiar with their products, but —

CUSTOMER: Do you see the one that says “Everything Dressing”?

ME: No.

CUSTOMER: Oh.

ME: I do see one here called “Not Only Cole Slaw.” Can that be —

CUSTOMER: Yes, yes, that means that it goes on everything ! That’s the one!

ME: Great. (Now I need a coffee…)

IN DENIAL

ME: Hi. I’m calling about your order. We’re currently out of the Pampers brand in size 5 diapers. Should I give you a similar item or —

CUSTOMER: Are you sure?

ME: Yes. I’m standing here near the shelf, and I also checked with the manager.

CUSTOMER: So you don’t have any?

ME: That’s correct. We’re out of it.

CUSTOMER: Can you check again?

ME: Sure. One minute. Okay, I’m here at the empty shelf, and nope, they’re still not here. So would you like me to —

CUSTOMER: But you always have them in stock!

ME: That’s right. We’re only temporarily out of stock. But I could offer you Cuties, Huggies or Luvs, or I can skip it entirely.

CUSTOMER: I don’t understand why you don’t have any! Okay, so you can just give me a bottle of garlic powder. I just realized that I don’t have any.

ME: Are you sure that you’re all out of garlic powder?

CUSTOMER: Yes.

ME: Do you want to check again?

CUSTOMER: (Silence)

Tips for the Savvy Shopper

1

If you are writing or typing up your list yourself (versus dictating it to one of our secretaries or placing the order online), then organizing your order by aisle or section would make it so much easier for the person charged with putting it together. This will save everyone some precious time. 2

If your order contains some items you need to prepare supper, consider submitting it the night prior. While you may think mid-morning is early

enough, there may be 65 orders before yours waiting to be processed. 3

This tip is relevant to in-store orders only. If you have a young child accompanying you in the grocery, and you gave him or her a treat to eat while putting together your order, throw an extra one into your cart for scanning purposes to avoid a tug of war at the cashiers. You’re welcome!

Our boutique expertise

We know our stuff. But more than that, we know the option is ultimately yours. Which is why we patiently explain and help you experience the many textures and designs hands-on, so you have the clarity to choose smartly. Because your needs are valued here.

One customer wrote after every item, “Be sure to call me when you get to this aisle” or “Make sure to call me when you get to the snacks” or “Very important to call when you get to the cakes.” (This was on a Wednesday, when we had 135 orders to fill.) The below is one conversation that

ME: Hi. I’m calling about your order. You wanted something from the snack aisle?

CUSTOMER: Yeah, so, tell me… (Crunch, crunch, crunch in my ear…) I need a snack…

ME: Yes? Go on…

CUSTOMER: (Still snacking) It… should be… sew tea.

ME: Okay. (And since I am Canadian, I ask for clarification about what she means by “sew tea.”)

CUSTOMER: Soooooteeeeee! (Crunch, crunch)

ME: What is that?

CUSTOMER: MADE WITH SALT! SALTY!

ME: OH. Okay, I get it now. It’s just my accent; I didn’t get the New York pronunciation of “salty.” So you need a salty snack bag?

CUSTOMER: From potato.

ME: Chips?

CUSTOMER: No, no. List me everything you have.

ME: We have about a hundred varieties in the snack aisle, so unfortunately, I cannot possibly list them all. Feel free to call us back when you know what you want, okay?

CUSTOMER: No, wait… okay… just… give me a small bag of corn pops, then.

ME: (!!!)

WHAT IS IT?

A measuring tape is a flexible tool used for calculating length. It may be made of fiberglass, cloth, plastic or metal ribbon. Think of it as a glorified flexible ruler marked in both centimeters and inches.

ONCE UPON A WIRE

This useful product was invented in Sheffield, England, by James Chesterman. The year was 1829, and Chesterman was in the business of making “flat wire” for the hoop skirts that were in fashion at the time. As part of his craft, he developed a heat treatment that made the flat wire stronger. When that fashion trend faded, however, he was left with a surplus of metal tape — and that was the inspiration for our favorite tool.

Soon the measuring tape concept reached the other side of the Atlantic. Chesterman’s tapes sold in the United States for $17, which is about $300 in today’s money. That’s good money for a humble measuring tape!

Alvin J. Fellows of New Haven, Connecticut, patented the spring-click tape measure in 1868. Fellows’ main contribution to the measuring tape was the method of attaching the spring clip, which locks the tape so it shouldn’t retract until you release it. And when it accidentally does… ouch!

In 1876, Justus Roe & Sons began manufacturing steel tape measures in the United States.

The steel tape measure didn’t become popular until the 1940s. Before that, the carpenter’s folding wooden ruler was the most commonly used collapsible measuring device in the United States. (The $300 price tag on the steel variety may have had something to do with that…)

With today’s advancement in technology, tape measures are now available in digital form, and some styles use lasers and ultrasonic technology to measure.

MEASURE UPON MEASURE

The tape measure is easily the most used and important tool in our tool box. As the famous adage goes, “Measure twice, cut once.”

Did you ever notice that the bottom of the end hook of your measuring tape has a serrated edge? There’s a good reason for that. If you’re measuring something and don’t have a marking tool handy, you can use this serrated edge to make a mark by running it back and forth on whatever you’re measuring. Good to know!

Have you ever wondered why the blade on a tape measure is curved? The concave design helps keep the blade rigid when extended.

Next summer, remember to break out your measuring tapes and celebrate National Tape Measure Day on July 14! No, I’m not joking. This day is all about honoring the invention of the tape measure, which has become an essential tool for construction workers, architects, designers and everyone else who needs to measure something accurately. So make sure you have your tape measure handy next July 14, and join in the fun!

On Wednesday, the third day Chol Hamoed, Project Yedid by Misaskim sponsored a Chol Hamoed Sukkos Experience for yesomim and almonos. In the morning, the children came to The Legacy Hall in Boro Park for a smashing carnival. The booths included arcades, photo booths, airbrushing, a Chinese paper cutter, a cash machine, virtual reality, and more.

In the afternoon ,they went over to Tiferes Rivka Hall ,where they enjoyed an uplifting Simchas Bais Hashoeva, a concert, and The Tantzers. They were treated to a hot, delicious seudas Yom Tov in the sukkah

Yom Tov can be painful for the yesomim. The loss hits them squarely during family-oriented times. With a spectacular day out, Project Yedid by Misaskim restores the joy to Chol Hamoed It’s a day of excitement and camaraderie. A day when the yesomim can forget their pain for a few hours. A day when they can have fun with friends who are in the same boat. A day when they can enjoy being kids again. They leave uplifted, their hearts warmed by a day of fun and friendship, filled up on chizzuk for months to come.

LOW-ALCOHOL WITH A SWEET AND BUBBLY TASTE

BASED ON THE WEEKLY PARSHAH

Rav Moshe Eliezer Rabinowitz zt"l was a beloved rav and mechanech who inspired and guided thousands. His dynamic shmuessen, featuring his trademark wit and vivid stories and parables, were popular among bachurim, yungeleit, as well as ba'alei batim. With his clear, down-to-earth style, he had the unique ability to really "bring a lesson home" with audiences of all types.

Lighting the Way: Hadrachah for Life by Rav Moshe Rabinowitz is a compilation of these much sought-after shmuessen, based on the "Ohr Pnei Moshe" weekly. In each page, in each shmuess, readers will be able to "hear" Rabbi Rabinowitz's vibrant voice, and the fundamental lessons he taught, coming through clearly. And the inspiration will last long after each piece has been read.
