“A year ago a lady came to the Rebetzin as she did not have children. The Rebetzin gave her a big brocha, did the blei gissen and told her she will have twins. A year later she gave birth to twins. ”
“A man called the Rebetzin as his daughter had to go to the emergency hospital. The Rebetzin calmed the father down and did the blei gissen with tefillahs, and said she has nothing and will be going home the same night safe. It happened that the doctors found nothing and sent her home safely. ”

Dreidel S’mores Board You will need:
Lieber’s Chocolate Graham Crackers Lieber’s Honey Graham Crackers Lieber’s Marshmallows – large and mini Lieber’s Parve Gelt – silver foil Lieber’s Dairy White Gelt – green foil Lieber’s Milk Chocolate Gelt – gold foil Lieber’s Striped Dainties Lieber’s Peanut Butter Pretzels Lieber’s Wafer Rolls Wooden board Dreidel cookie cutters
Directions:
Place a graham cracker in the microwave for approximately 20 seconds. Using your cookie cutter, cut out a dreidel from the center of the graham cracker. Repeat with as many dreidels as you want. Remove half of the foil wrappers from the parve and half from the brown dairy coins. Remove all the foil wrappers from the dairy white coins. Arrange all Lieber’s products on the board as shown, or arrange using your own creativity. To make dreidel s’mores: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place half of the dreidel graham crackers on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Place 1–2 chocolate coins on each graham cracker. Place in the oven for 2–3 minutes, until melted. Remove from oven and an add 1–2 marshmallows to each dreidel. Turn oven to broil. Return the tray to the oven and broil for 1–2 minutes. Remove from oven and place another graham cracker on top to cover each one. Optional: Instead of using the oven, you can use a mini tabletop grill. Adult supervision is required.
Mosaic Dreidel Cookies
You will need:
Lieber’s Decorating Bars, assorted colors, melted Dreidel-shaped sugar cookies Icing
Directions:
Spread melted decorating bar in a thin layer on a piece of foil. Place in freezer for approximately 10 minutes. Test to see if you like the thickness of the decorating bar and then repeat with each color. Spread a little bit of icing on each cookie. Cut “mosaic” pieces of chocolate and stick it to the icing. To make the designs, you can either break off pieces of chocolate or use a sharp knife to make straighter lines. If you’re using a knife, the chocolate should be at room temperature so that it’s soft and won’t crack while cutting. Tip: This is a great cookie decorating activity for all ages. As you can see, the designs can be done on a juvenile level or on a more sophisticated level.
Wafer Menorah Directions:
You will need:
Lieber’s Pastry Crisps Lieber’s Wafer Rolls Lieber’s Decorating Bars, assorted colors, melted Lieber’s Fruit Jewels or Fruit Jellies Toothpicks
Prepare a large piece of parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut 4 wafer rolls in half. Dip 1 whole and 8 half wafer rolls in a different color melted decorating bar. (I threaded each one onto a skewer to make it easier to dip.) For the base, place about 1–2 tablespoons of any color decorating bar on the prepared parchment paper. Place two pastry crisps next to each other, short sides touching each other, right over the chocolate. The chocolate will connect the two in the middle to create one long base. Allow to dry. Drizzle different colored melted decorating bars over base. Allow to dry. Using some more melted chocolate, glue the candles to the base. Using scissors, cut out a flame shape from the candies. Break toothpicks into small pieces and stick them into the candy. Stick candy onto the candles to create the flame. Tip: For a neater base, take two strips of parchment paper and place them on either of the long ends of the base. Drizzle decorating bars and then carefully remove the parchment paper.
Tip: I used a hard plastic cup to melt each colored chocolate. The cup was a good shape for dipping the wafer rolls.

ON THE MONEY
(Re: Monopoly Madness, Issue 211) I wanted to take a minute to say thank you for that amazing Monopoly Madness activity! I still remember your previous Candyland project, and how it took over my entire house. The Monopoly activity is absolutely stunning and was designed with such precision. The instructions are so clear, and the entire project is presented so beautifully. Job well done! Thank you, A Grateful Reader

(Re: Monopoly Madness, Issue 211) The Boro Park View, you’ve reached new heights. That Boro Park Monopoly game is adorable – and a blast! My kids love regular Monopoly, but this is next-level fun. We love your magazine; the features are so interesting, and I love the serial, too. But my favorite part is for sure the Boggle game and DIY activities and contests. They keep my kids busy for hours. Thank you for such an amazing “Chanukah gift”! Pessy N.

BEAUTIFUL WRITING
(Re: Defining Strokes, Issue 211) Your article about the graphologist was fascinating. My favorite part was looking at the handwriting samples and the analyses, and trying to figure out how she “saw” those particular traits in the writing. Thanks for consistently producing quality content for us to read. At a recent session of the Torah U’mesorah convention, a question was presented to the gedolim regarding the “kashrus” of the magazine industry. I am grateful to you for producing a magazine that is reliably kosher for our family. The T. Family
EYE CANDY
(Re: Feathering the Empty Nest, Issue 207) Thank you for a delightful magazine. I’m sending this email at the request of my mother, a Holocaust survivor. Your recent issue, “Empty Nest, Full Life,” was a wonderful read that she really enjoyed. She also appreciated your chocolate issue — who doesn’t love chocolate? Finally, my mother wishes to request that you print your magazine with a larger and darker font so that people of her stage can also read it and enjoy it. Thank you for providing the community with such wonderful reading material. Mrs. K. Brieger
A REAL WINNER
(Re: Ready4School Contest, Issue 205) We’d like to publicly thank the Yours Truly gift store. My daughter won the Ready4School contest back in September. Since she didn’t need the briefcase they were offering as a prize, Yours Truly graciously allowed her to choose a different prize. The back and forth with Yours Truly while my daughter finalized on the bag of her choice was a very pleasant experience, and they even had the prize delivered to our home! Their excellent service was greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Mrs. Ort

a zechus for shidduchim, I heard an amazing story on this concept. A yungerman went to Rav Shach and asked for a bracha. Rav Schach told him about this segulah of bentsching from a bentscher and gave him a bracha. A year went by, and the yungerman came back to Rav Schach and said that for the last year, he was extra careful to bentsch from a bentscher and still did not see the yeshuah. Rav Schach replied, “Are you sure you did not even miss a single time? Think hard.” The yungerman responded that one time he needed to bentsch when he was away from home, and he searched all over and was not able to find a bentscher, so he bentsched by heart. That was the only time he did not benstch from a bentscher. Rav Schach responded, “You should have taken a pen and paper and written down the entire bentsching and bentsched from that.” As a single girl in shidduchim, I want to follow this advice, but I don’t always carry a bentscher or siddur with me. I thought of creating credit card–size bentschers that would fit into the card holder on the back of my phone. My idea was to give them out as a zechus for shidduchim. Life got busy, and I didn’t get around to it, but in the meantime, I wanted a card holder for my flip phone, so I ordered a pack of three from Amazon. Instead of one pack of three, they sent me 36 packs of three! I reached out to Amazon and asked what they wanted me to do with the extras, and they said to keep it. I felt like Hashem was sending me a sign to go through with my idea of creating credit card–size bentschers. B’ezras Hashem, I went through with it, and now I have credit cardsize bentschers along with a phone card holder to give to anyone who feels they can benefit from it. Please email benchersforshidduchim@gmail.com with your name (or even just initials) and address, and I will mail one to you. You can also specify what color card holder you would like. I have black, gray and pink on hand. A Girl in Shidduchim

PARSHAS VAYEISHEV Words That Encourage
One morning, while in prison in Mitzrayim, Yosef noticed that Pharaoh’s butler and baker, who were both incarcerated alongside him, looked downcast. “Why are your faces forlorn today?” he asked (Bereishis 40:7). The royal prisoners shared the dreams that perturbed them. Yosef ’s question seems rhetorical. Does anyone sitting in prison — especially one who formerly held a high position in the royal court — need a reason for being downcast? It would be surprising if they did not appear dejected! SEVERAL YEARS AGO, Harav Eliezer Turk, shlit”a, ra”m in Yeshivas Kaminetz in Yerushalayim, was at a simcha when a man approached and embraced him warmly. “Remind me who you are,” Rabbi Turk inquired, slightly discomfited by the over-friendly welcome from a man whom he did not recognize. “You’re Rabbi Turk, right?” the man replied. “And you learned in Ponovezh as a bachur, right?” He paused. “Maybe you remember a bachur in your shiur named Zevi*?” In an instant, Rabbi Turk was transported back 30 years. Of course he remembered Zevi. Zevi was a quiet, refined boy who had a good reputation. The bachurim loved learning with him, and he always managed to get the best chavrusos. But one fine day, in the middle of the winter zman of their third year together, he suddenly left yeshivah. Everyone was surprised, and it was the topic of conversation among the boys. But over time, Rabbi Turk had completely forgotten Zevi. “I’m Zevi,” the man said, shaking Rabbi Turk out of his reverie. Rabbi Turk asked him how he was doing and learned that Zevi was blessed with a large family and held a position in computer programming. He had recently been promoted and earned a nice living. Gathering his courage, Rabbi Turk gently probed, “Would

you mind if I asked what prompted you to leave yeshivah so suddenly? You were doing so well!” Zevi proceeded to tell Rabbi Turk what had been buried in his heart for decades. He said that although he had enjoyed a relatively good name during the two and a half years he spent in yeshivah, on the inside, it felt like one big show. He couldn’t keep up with the high level in the yeshivah, and while his friends delved into deep explanations of the Rishonim and Acharonim, he struggled to understand the basics. He so badly wanted to stay in yeshivah, though, and was smart enough to hide his ignorance. But at one point he acknowledged to himself that he wasn’t tasting the sweetness of Torah learning. He consulted with someone he respected and made the fateful decision: He would leave yeshivah. Rabbi Turk listened to Zevi’s story and finally said, “I still don’t understand why I was zoche to such a warm hello!” Zevi explained: “About five years after I got married, I once met you on the street, and we spoke for a few minutes, without discussing the past. I remember your smile as you told me that you have my name in your notebook of notes on Bava Metzia. I had asked the question of Reb Shmuel Rozovsky, zt”l…” Rabbi Turk recalled the incident. It happened once after shiur, when a group of bachurim surrounded the Rosh Yeshivah, Reb Shmuel, talking in learning. Zevi had asked a

question that pleased Reb Shmuel, and with his trademark way of giving his students a boost, Reb Shmuel clarified the question and even added more depth to it. And young Rabbi Turk wrote it in his notes, credited to Zevi. “After that meeting,” Zevi said, “I went home and began to cry. I was embarrassed to admit to myself that I hardly opened a sefer anymore. And here my name was mentioned in the shiur of Reb Shmuel! I decided something must change. That very evening, I went to the seforim store and purchased a new Gemara Bava Metzia, along with the sefer Shiurei Reb Shmuel on Bava Metzia. I began to learn every evening, and also every Motzei Shabbos when I had more time than the rest of the week. “I started to enjoy learning, and from when my children were little, they got used to seeing me sitting and learning every extra moment I had. Baruch Hashem, today my children are talmidei chachamim, learning in the yeshivah world. “And it’s all because of your nice comment that day on the street,” Zevi concluded. What one good word can accomplish! * * * * *

Reb Chaim Shmuelevitz explains: In Yosef’s conversation with the prison inmates, we see the gadlus of Yosef Hatzaddik. Yosef was thrown into prison because of a libel, through no sin of his own. Typically, human nature for someone struggling through a difficulty would be to become withdrawn and perceive only his own problems. Yet Yosef saw beyond himself and paid attention to others. Yosef’s predicament was pitiful. He had already been behind bars for ten years, with no hope of ever leaving. He could have become bitter and self-absorbed, yet we see that the opposite was true. Yosef asked, “Why are your faces forlorn today?” The word “today” shows us that it wasn’t only this morning that Yosef took personal interest in the prisoners; he did so every single day. Only this morning he noticed that the royal butler and baker were in worse spirits than usual. Through his personal interest, smile and a good word, Yosef calmed and encouraged his fellow inmates. He put his own difficulties aside, which allowed him to uplift and be mechazek others. One warm smile, one kind word, has the power to strengthen generations. *Name has been changed.

I tried pain meds, exercise, natural remedies, nothing helped. I thought this is what I would just have to live with! I heard of the Sarno method but never really understood it. I met with Mrs. Schiff, and right away was amazed by her ability to hone in on the issues. The one-on-one sessions were perfectly tailored for me!

Allergy Alert: Chanukah Chocolate Coins Recalled After Pareve Items Found To Contain Milk Just days before Chanukah, Manischewitz is recalling some of its pareve dark chocolate coins, saying that a limited number of bags were accidentally mislabeled. Manischewitz warned that chocolate coins with a tag reading “Magic Max’s Dark Chocolate Coins” bearing the lot code 2283 may contain the incorrect product and are made with milk, even though milk is not listed on the label as an ingredient. The mislabeled chocolate coins are easily identifiable, with the company packing its dark chocolate coins in silver foil with a red netting, and its milk chocolate coins in silver foil with a blue netting. Manischewitz issued the recall after its quality control department noticed that certain bags whose tags read “dark chocolate” contained gold-wrapped coins in blue netting, making it clear that they are dairy products that could cause serious or even life-threatening allergic reactions. Affected items have a UPC number 072700200387 printed on the tag, while the display box bears the UPC code 072700200356. Manischewitz has already contacted retailers who purchased chocolate coins from the mislabeled lot and advised them to remove any affected products from their shelves. Consumers who have the recalled chocolate coins in their possession can return them to their place of purchase for credit or a refund, and can address any questions by calling the company at 718-369-4600 or emailing customercare@kayco.com. No reports of any allergic reactions had been reported to Manischewitz as of December 1, the Food and Drug Administration’s official recall date.
Anti-Semitism a Full-Blown Crisis, Says Schumer in Major Senate Address On the Senate floor, an impassioned Senator Chuck Schumer spoke out at length against rising anti-Semitism, warning of devastating consequences if the trend goes unchecked. The speech lasted more than 40 minutes, with Schumer, the highest ranking Jewish elected official in American history, saying that he has witnessed a great divide when it comes to anti-Semitism. “To us, the Jewish people, the rise of anti-Semitism is a crisis — a five-alarm fire that must be extinguished,” noted Schumer. “For so many other people of good will, it is merely a problem, a matter of concern.” Schumer spoke about the very real fears and anxieties that are the new reality for all Jewish Americans since the October 7 terror attacks, who have found themselves targeted simply for being Jewish. Since that time, the hatred has only grown, with Schumer criticizing those who have used the war between Israel and Hamas to foment anti-Semitism. “The vitriol against Israel in the wake of October 7 is all too often crossing a line into brazen and widespread anti-Semitism, the likes of which we haven’t seen for generations in this country — if ever,” observed Schumer. Mass demonstrations supporting Hamas have left Jews feeling further isolated, said the senator. “Can you blame us for feeling vulnerable only 80 years after Hitler wiped out half of the Jewish population across the world while many countries turned their back?” asked Schumer. “Can you appreciate the deep fear we have about what Hamas might do if left to their own devices?” Sharing the story of his many family members who were murdered by the Nazis and referencing multiple anti-Semitic incidents in recent weeks, Schumer drew on history to issue a dire warning. “No matter what our beliefs are, no matter where we stand on the war in Gaza, all of us must condemn anti-Semitism with full-throated clarity whenever we see it before it metastasizes

into something even worse, because right now, that’s what Jewish Americans fear most,” said Schumer.
DMV Suspends Thousands of COVID-Renewed Licenses Untold thousands of drivers who renewed their licenses during COVID have had their licenses suspended and are facing significant consequences that could include jail time. Hoping to limit crowds and curtail the spread of COVID, the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles had allowed drivers whose licenses expired between March 1, 2020, and August 21, 2021, to self-certify their vision during the pandemic, although they were still required to submit vision tests from an approved provider at a later time. Many apparently failed to follow through, and the DMV reported in late November that it would be suspending the licenses of nearly 51,000 drivers on December 1, unless they submitted a vision test from an approved provider. The DMV sent multiple notices last spring to affected motorists via email, mail and text messaging, apprising them of the situation. Drivers who have yet to submit official vision tests can have an exam performed at the DMV or by a DMV-approved provider, or alternatively, they can have their own provider submit a Vision Test Report to the DMV. Those caught driving with suspended licenses could face tickets, fines ranging from $200 to $500, or be sent to prison for as long as 30 days.
Adams Calls for More Exemptions as NYC Congestion Pricing Plan Takes Shape Hazy plans to institute congestion pricing by tolling drivers traveling south of 60th Street are becoming clearer, with the news going from bad to worse for those entering Manhattan via the George Washington Bridge. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has been pushing the concept in recent months, gleefully announcing that it will alleviate traffic, reduce pollution, promote pedestrian and biker safety, and fund $15 billion for transit projects that include upgrading signals, improving accessibility, and providing its public transit systems with desperately needed revenue. The agency has made no secret of the fact that it plans 128

December 6, 2023
www.thebpview.com · 718.408.8770
to accomplish those goals by instituting hefty tolls to discourage drivers from entering what it calls Manhattan’s CBD — Central Business District. In a report issued last week, the MTA said that motorists who drive below 60th Street from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends would pay a $15 toll once each day. The toll jumps to $24 or $36 for truck drivers, with motorcyclists paying only $7.50. Commuter buses, school buses transporting children to school, taxis, and those traveling through Manhattan on the FDR Drive and the West Side Highway would all be exempt from the toll. The Traffic Mobility Review Board, the tolling advisory group that is crafting the congestion pricing plan, is recommending a $5 discount for certain drivers, but leaves those entering the city from the north holding the bag. If approved, the current plan would provide a $5 credit for motorists entering the CBD from the Lincoln, Holland, Hugh L. Carey and Queens-Midtown tunnels, while drivers coming in from the George Washington Bridge, who already pay a toll that can be as high as $15, would receive no discounts. Across the Hudson River, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy slammed the MTA for counting on Garden State drivers to cover its budget shortfall. “Everyone in the region deserves access to more reliable mass transit, but placing an unjustified financial burden on New Jersey commuters is wrong,” said Murphy, who made it clear that he would be pursuing legal options to prevent the plan’s adoption. Taxis and rideshares, such as Uber and Lyft, would technically be exempt from the toll, but the cost would be passed onto their passengers as a surcharge. The report justified that mea-

sure by explaining, “Ultimately, it is passengers — not drivers — who make the choice to add to vehicle congestion in the CBD, despite readily accessible public transportation to and within the CBD. And it is passengers whose travel patterns must be influenced to fight congestion in the CBD.” While it ignored the needs of those coming into the city over the George Washington who may not have mass transit options at their disposal, the plan does include a financial hardship reduction for low-income drivers facing similar circumstances. The tolling advisory group is recommending that those motorists receive a 50% congestion pricing discount after their first ten trips taken at full price during each calendar month “to further accommodate the financial needs of low-income drivers who, for whatever reason, have no choice but to drive to work.” Also exempt from the toll are specialized government vehicles serving the CBD, such as garbage trucks, snow plows, street sweepers and pruning trucks. The toll review board rejected exemptions for those living within the CBD, those having medical appointments within the CBD, motorists driving electric vehicles, employees who can only get to work by car, private utility company workers, public sector employees and those with serious medical conditions that preclude their taking mass transit. The agency noted that reimbursements are available in many forms to those who fall into these groups, with employers and health care programs potentially covering travel expenses. The congestion pricing plan still has to be formally adopted by the advisory board, with public hearings to be held in February 2024 before it is submitted to an MTA vote for final approval. While lawsuits are expected to be filed, it is unclear if they would be heard in court before the plan is officially adopted by the MTA.
Plan to Bill Landlords for Anti-Flood Measures Meets Resistance Brooklyn landlords are calling a plan that would hold them responsible to deal with catastrophic flooding all washed up, saying that it is the city who should bear responsibility for the faulty infrastructure. Brooklyn Assemblywoman Emily Gallagher has introduced legislation that would let the city hit developers and private building owners with “stormwater fees.” Those fees would shift the burden of cleaning up the stormwaters that pool in the streets after heavy rainfalls from the city to private citizens. 130

Gallagher has said that the problems are caused by climate issues, but area residents quickly rejected that notion, blaming an inadequate sewer system which becomes further clogged when street sweepers push dirt into city drains. “Half the problem is that there is so much garbage in the sewer drains that the water doesn’t have anywhere to go, so it overflows and floods,” noted one area resident. Flooding has become an even greater problem as Boro Park becomes further developed, an issue that has nothing to do with climate or global warming, noted another. “Charging building owners to upgrade the wastewater treatment facility plants that can’t quickly process all of the stormwater, trash and sewage rushing into them, doesn’t make sense,” said the resident. “The flooding is the city’s issue. The city government should deal with the flooding and pay for the infrastructure that needs to be fixed.”
GE Recalls Faulty Radiant Cooktops General Electric is recalling approximately 11,000 knobcontrolled radiant cooktops after receiving 83 reports of burners that don’t turn off or fail to accurately regulate their temperatures. The recall affects GE JP3030 cooktops model number JP3030DJ4BB, JF3030SJ4SS and JP3030TJ4WW manufactured in the United States from July through September 2022 and were sold nationwide through July 2023. All of the affected cooktops have black or white surfaces, right side control knobs, four radiant burners, four “Hot Cooktop” lights, and serial numbers that begin with the letters LT, MT, RT or ST. Consumers can call GE at 877-261-1509 to determine if their cooktops are included in the recall. Owners of the affected cooktops are being advised to turn off their cooktop at the circuit breaker when not in use and to call GE to arrange for a replacement burner knob assembly, which will be installed at no cost. GE has said that it has received no reports of any injuries related to the problem.

CHAPTER 34 Shuli quits. Lani learns about Riva’s anniversary cooking through Chevi, while Riva finds out that the Eisdorfs resumed construction through Gittel Indig.
“I
don’t know about the shoemaker’s kids,” Zeidy Muller declared, depositing his tallis on the windowsill, “but the breakfast lady’s parents certainly don’t go hungry.” Lani giggled. “Well, it’s all coming out of your own kitchen.” Both facts were true. Lani had set out an elaborate Shavuos Kiddush spread, but most of the cheese pastries were Break In fare. Shaya Stroh punched open the door, and a medley of gut Yom Tovs broke out. As the Strohs tumbled in, Lani tried to appear busy, but it didn’t work; her gaze collided with Riva’s. Riva had paused in the door-

way, hands grasping her stroller, and Lani’s chest filled with a sudden disgust. She tore her eyes away quickly and swallowed the bad taste in her mouth. This was her parents’ Shavuos seudah, and she wasn’t going to spend the occasion brooding and being offended. Whatever was happening with the anniversary food, she and Riva could pick up the battle again after Yom Tov. It took physical effort to pull a smile over her face and get up to greet her sister. Act One, here goes. “Your kids look sooooo cute,” she told Riva. “I love your girls in white. Summer, aaaah…” Riva muttered a curt, “Thanks,” then turned her atten-

PRETENDING TO ENTIRELY MISS THE CUE, LANI CASUALLY PULLED UP A CHAIR RIGHT NEXT TO RIVA AND SHAVED OFF A PIECE OF CHEESECAKE
tion to Tzippy. Okaaaaay. So much for her efforts. What was Riva’s issue? Not another “bullying” incident, please. This was getting old. Seriously, they had a problem, Lani admitted it, and she was doing whatever she could to resolve it. Was her sister going to give her attitude every time Fraidy kvetched about Chevi? Well, Lani had made up her mind to put her anger aside today, if only for her parents’ sake. If Riva chose to act immaturely, it didn’t mean Lani had to fight back. Pretending to entirely miss the cue, Lani casually pulled up a chair right next to Riva and shaved off a piece of the cheesecake Riva had brought. “There’s no way I’m eating any of my own stuff,” she joked. “You bake carrot muffins three times a week, you get kind of sick of it.” Riva didn’t respond, and Lani continued not to notice. She tasted the cheesecake and declared it divine. “This is Chanie Katz’s recipe, right? Yum.” Between the milchig kiddush and the fleishig seudah, Riva left the dining room on the pretext of putting Eli to sleep and didn’t return until everyone was ready to wash. Lani was getting a weird satisfaction from acting oblivious to Riva’s cold-shouldering, to the point where she nearly forgot that she was the one who was supposed to be angry at her just then. She only wondered how much longer Riva would play the game. She managed to keep playing for a while. Until the main course. At that point, it was less obvious that Riva was avoiding talking to Lani directly, because everyone was talking around the table, so it must have gotten a little tiring and a lot pointless. Lesson for life: When someone snubs you, don’t notice. “What is it about men’s tastebuds?” Lani marveled. “The salads and sides are meant to complement the meat. But the men eat them as separate courses.” Riva actually allowed herself to laugh. “Yaakov eats like

that. All the vegetables — I mean, if he’s eating the vegetables — then the side, then the chicken or whatever. And coleslaw is its own course.” She’d won. Riva had given up. This was certainly more fun than sitting around scowling. Lani couldn’t help feeling smug. After a few minutes of safe chatting, their mother joined them at the table with her own portion. “Nu, Lani, did the kitchen installer takeh show up Erev Yom Tov?” Ugh. Did her mother really have to talk about the house now? She hadn’t mentioned to Riva that they’d continued building. It was just… awkward. It would bring back up the whole sticky parsha with the Strohs’ loan, and she really didn’t want to go there. She would have to tell her eventually, of course, but she’d been avoiding it until now, and this was not the way to share such news. And definitely not the right moment. Riva, however, didn’t look surprised. “I guess I’m not supposed to know about this,” she said drily. “Uh, no, no, not at all. I mean, you’re allowed to know about this, why not?” Ugh, ugh, ugh. “Oh, I don’t know,” Riva said airily. For a moment it looked like she was going to grow all cold again, but then she seemed to reconsider and said, not even snidely, “Gittel Indig told me you started building again.” Click. So that’s what the icy vibes had been all about. It hadn’t been about Chevi and Fraidy, and not about the sesame chicken either. This was becoming a little dizzying. A bunch of excuses sped through Lani’s mind, but she knew good and well that none of them held weight. And no matter how confounded she felt about the anniversary cooking thing, right now, Riva had every reason to feel hurt. “What was that?” her mother asked. Lani jerked her head. “Uh, no. They didn’t show up, and I was too busy to call and find out what happened.”

Riva asked Lani to pass her the seltzer, considerately rescuing her from her distress. Her turn to act maturely. They weren’t going to air their grievances now — not with their mother and all the kids sitting around — but although Riva wasn’t acting cold anymore and the conversation flowed in other directions, Lani had no choice but to unpleasantly acknowledge: She hadn’t quite won.

Sometimes it felt like her life was all about getting things out of the way, so she could move on to the next thing — and get that out of the way as well. Riva had worked so hard before Shavuos, but now that the Yom Tov was over, she just wanted to see it all behind her: the kids bathed, the house cleaned up, the laundry washed, and everyone back to routine. The kids, however, weren’t overly anxious to embrace said routine. They also did not like the idea of dismantling the hotel they’d built out of Clics, which was taking up half of the Strohs’ dining room. “Come on, Shaya, Fraidy,” Riva wheedled. “We’re not having toys lying around until Shabbos. Please, break it up, and do me a favor, don’t sort the colors now.” Shaya responded with a loud grumble. Riva returned to the kitchen and took in the sink full of dishes, the filthy floor, the cluttered counters. It was so late. She needed everyone in bed, quickly. Where was Yaakov? Maybe he could bathe Eli? “Yaakov?” she called out. She heard his muffled voice coming from their bedroom and headed over. There, she found him perched on the windowsill, leaning over his laptop, two deep furrows etched between his eyes. “What are you doing?” He didn’t look up. “I have a ton of work. Eli Bleich sent me a huge new project. I’m trying to make heads and tails of what I need to do here.” Work? Now? Seriously, it was Motzei Yom Tov; who worked at

such a time? Budding architects, apparently. He worked Motzei Yom Tov and Motzei Shabbos, and every spare minute of his day. It had happened gradually — first the schooling, then meeting with Eric Moore for mentoring, then Eli Bleich and all of his little jobs — and it suddenly hit Riva that this architecture venture had pretty much overtaken her husband’s life. “You wanted something?” Yaakov asked. She was about to snap at him. Yesssss. I kind of could use some help around here. Take a look at the kitchen. Or does Eli Bleich come first? But she bit back the words forcefully. What was wrong with her? His workload was the salvation she’d been praying for all those years. It was her ticket to freedom. And if it meant giving up some of her husband’s help, that was a small enough price to pay, and she had no right to complain about it. “No, no, I didn’t mean to bother you,” she said quickly. “I just needed Eli’s pajamas, I’m going to bathe him.” He missed the entire drama unfolding in her brain and went right back to his work. Riva headed off to bathe the baby. An hour and a half later, the house was more or less back in shape. Tzippy and Eli were sleeping, and Fraidy and Shaya were getting ready for bed. Surrounded by peace and quiet, her whole body felt more relaxed, and she allowed herself to absorb her own thoughts. She’d never imagined the day would come, but here it was. Yaakov was busy — too busy to help her, even — and that was a wonderful blessing. The chains that had kept her shackled to her job felt looser, her arms free at her sides, hope pulsing through her veins. Riva went back to her room to ask Yaakov if he wanted to eat something. She tapped on the door. “Coffee break?” she asked, in jest. But Yaakov didn’t crack a smile. He wasn’t working anymore, she noticed. His laptop was closed, and he sat staring into space, an unmistakeable tension resting on his shoulders. Riva’s breath froze. “Yaakov? What happened?” He looked up and stretched his eyes open, as though he’d been shaken awake. “Oh, nothing, nothing. I was just thinking about something. Work stuff.” She waited for him to offer something more, but he simply stood up and put his laptop away. “Do we have any of those chocolate cheese muffins left?” he asked. “We… do,” Riva said slowly. In the kitchen, Yaakov looked perfectly normal again. Maybe he’d just been spacing out. Why did she have to think something big was going on? She watched Yaakov for the rest of the night, but he seemed totally normal. And yet, as she transferred one last load to the dryer before going to sleep, the hope that she’d held on to earlier in the evening felt like it had slipped through her fingers. TO BE CONTINUED…

Y. LEVENSTEIN
Chanukah: Elevating to Eight One Chanukah, Rabbi Abraham Twersky visited an elderly friend in the hospital. The man was very down, as the doctors had just given him a poor prognosis. Rabbi Twersky was desperate to dispel the gloom, and he begged the hospital staff to allow his friend to light the Chanukah licht. He assured them that it would be handled safely, and someone would sit with the flames as long as they were lit. Surprisingly, the nurses agreed. Overjoyed, the patient exclaimed to Rabbi Twersky, “You know, the oil in the Beis Hamikdash was enough to last one day, yet it miraculously burned for eight. Who knows? The doctors say I have one year to live, but that’s only if we follow the laws of nature. Hashem could turn one year into eight, or more!” Time proved his words prophetic. To the astonishment of the doctors, the man went on to live another ten healthy years, without treatment. That is the spark of the Yid – never curbed by the laws of nature; always open to what seems to be impossible.
The days are growing shorter, reaching the darkest point of the year. Suddenly, a halo of light emerges. The Yid is kindling a flame, illuminating the darkness. Obscurity falls away, opening the door for miracles. Miracles: an intrinsic part of the Yid. While the world and everything in it is confined to the laws of nature, the Yid transcends time, space and nature. Chanukah reminds us how we, as a people, are elevated beyond the natural restrictions of this world. The Maharal explains that the number eight signifies l’maaleh min hateva, an
existence unfettered by the ordinary rules by which the world operates. While shleimus, or the perfection achievable via natural means, is intrinsic to the number seven, when we move on to the eighth level, we break free from the limitations inherent in that perfection. The world was created in seven days. The first six brought the physical ecosphere to life. On the seventh day, Hashem infused it all with spirituality. Eight moves beyond this realm, towering above the physical. Eight is the point where miracles occur.
THE YOM TOV OF EIGHT We celebrate eight days of Chanukah, a Yom Tov fundamentally intertwined with the number eight. How could a small group of untrained men even attempt to battle legions of the besttrained warriors? It was a move that defied logic. When a single jug of pure oil burned for eight days, we were once again reminded of our supernatural reality. It isn’t a coincidence that the jug was stamped with the seal of the kohen gadol, who wears eight special garments when he performs the avodah in the Beis Hamikdash, embodying the miraculous level of eight. The Hebrew letters of the number eight, “shemoneh,” can be rearranged to
The Boro Park View
181
form the words “hashemen,” the oil, and “neshamah,” soul. Oil represents the deepest level of the soul. It signifies the Yid’s potential to awaken from the deepest slumber of galus, even under the most trying circumstances. The eight days of waiting to obtain pure oil set a blueprint for eight days of celebrating miracles for the years to come. The truth is, our entire lives are one long string of nissim, far beyond nature.
A PEOPLE OF EIGHT It isn’t a coincidence that the Greeks specifically opted to ban the mitzvah of bris milah. The bris, which is performed on the eighth day of a baby’s life, demonstrates a tangible difference between Jew and non-Jew. From infancy, we mark a sign as a reminder that we are not like everyone else — we are Yidden and we are pure. We are a miraculous people. The bris is a supernatural covenant between us and Hashem that defies logic. We pledge to remain pure and disciplined, upright Yidden, and Hashem elevates us to levels beyond the ordinary. There is a well-known story of a woman in the concentration camps who was caught looking for contraband. When she told the SS guard who stopped her that all she wanted was a knife, he was more than happy to give her one. He stood by to watch, sure that the poor woman was about to take her life. Instead, the woman took out a package and unwrapped her newborn son. She then lifted the knife and recited a loud bracha on milah. With tears streaming down her face, this fearless mother cried out, “Ribono Shel Olam! You gave me a son, whom I may not be zoche to raise, but at the very least, I want to return him to You as a Yid!” What gargantuan strength! A portrait of the nature-defying Yid.
PRESERVING OUR EIGHTH SENSE The Greeks tried to blur our boundaries, to lure us into behaving just like them. They wanted us to enjoy this world, the physical realm represented by the number six, in the absence of spirituality, or number seven. They knew that ultimately, that would strip us of our privileged supernal status indicated by the number eight. Klal Yisroel can be compared to an eagle, the king of all birds. Our imitating
AN EIGHTH SONG Music, the language of the heart, reaches perfection through the complete octave, which is composed of seven musical notes. David Hamelech, called the ne’im zemiros Yisrael, sometimes played a seven-stringed harp, sometimes a ten-stringed harp, and at other times, a harp with eight strings. Referencing this, the Gemara speaks about the seven-stringed instrument played in the Beis Hamikdash, which will be replaced by an eight-stringed instrument when Mashiach comes. This seems to imply that when Mashiach comes, there will be an eighth note – music that is higher, music that is purely neshamah, unconstrained by this world. May we soon merit singing this eighth note for the King of Kings with the coming of Mashiach, when we will finally be fully liberated from the constraints of this world.

the ways of the nations is like the eagle imitating a small sparrow. Rather than flying high, he chooses to inhibit himself and peck at crumbs on the ground, forgetting that he can soar above every other creature on earth. We, too, are given the wings to allow us to soar above all others. It took a small squad of Chashmonaim to return us to our role. Their very name indicates that they retained the far-reaching vision embodied by number eight: Chashmonaim is made up of the words “shemoneh” and “chai.” The moment the Jewish people reconnected to this ideal, they were able to triumph over the entire Greek force. Chanukah reminds us of who we are, what we stand for, and what we have given our lives for. Klal Yisroel is meant to be a light unto the nations, and when our little licht light up the darkest nights, we ourselves are rekindled.

When Rav Yechezkel Abramsky, zt”l, arrived in Siberia, he was wearing lightweight clothes, not nearly adequate to keep him warm in the freezing temperatures. He was forced to walk barefoot in the snow every morning for far distances. Understandably, there were many who froze to death, but Rav Abramsky, who had actually been a weak child, always pampered with extra layers to protect him from getting sick, survived the entire tekufah without falling sick even once. Rabbi Abramsky shared how he threw his burden onto Hashem. “One must dress appropriately to stay warm and safe,” he would say, “yet what was I to do if the resha’im wouldn’t allow me to? “I told Hashem, ‘Shamreini Ke-il ki chasisi vach – Guard me, Hashem, for I have taken shelter in You’ (Tehillim 16:1). Hashem was my protection, my covering, and only He could keep me warm.” Rabbi Abramsky’s survival, against all odds, and the survival of millions of others like him, defies logic. The very fact that Klal Yisroel is live and well and connected to our Source despite centuries of galus is the greatest indicator that we are a people of miracles.

7 tales of that perfect gift — meaningful, heartwarming, and just plain hilarious

Clear as a Bell When we moved from an apartment to our own house, my grandmother was thrilled. Bubby was a generous, gregarious person who overflowed with love for us. She was larger than life; I called her every day, never shopped for my kids without her, and she arrived at the hospital after each of my children were born even before my mother. She was thrilled to tour our new home. “What a wonderful, big house!” she exclaimed. Wonderful, yes; big, no. But Bubby kvelled. She went from room to room, oohing and aahing over every detail, and finally wound up back in the entranceway. “Now look what I bought for you!” she announced. With a flourish, she withdrew from her bag a silver bell. I looked at it. It was a beautiful piece, polished to a warm glow, and engraved with flowers and hearts. But… a bell? Bubby positioned herself near the open staircase, brandished the bell above her head, and gave it a shake. It produced the most outrageous sound, an echoing clang that bounced around the room and could be heard in every corner of the house. “You see,” she told me with satisfaction, “you have a big house now; when you want the kids to come for supper, you just ring the bell, and they’ll all come running!” We laughed. The bell went onto a small shelf in the kitchen where it proudly and incongruously presided over life in our new home. Bubby was so full of life, we never thought of her as old, but she was nifteres suddenly at the age of 81. I was shocked at the loss, having expected her to be there forever. But I still have her bell in my kitchen, and I feel like she’s still here with me. We polish it every Erev Shabbos and quote her a million times a day. And whenever I want the kids to come for supper, I wave the bell over my head, and hear the bright peals of Bubby’s love ringing throughout the house.

One Woman’s Trash When we moved back from Eretz Yisrael, we moved in with my parents temporarily. They love us and we love them, and all the togetherness was nice after being so far apart for so many years. Still, as the months passed, I became more and more eager to move into our own place. Finally, the day came. Our new house was everything I dreamed of — our own place, enough space, an exciting new beginning. The only problem was the garbage. Because of the way the property was shaped, the house was set very far back from the road. There was a long path to the street — about a three-minute walk from my front door. Three minutes is not a big deal at all, except when you have to do that three-minute walk every time you want to bring a bag of trash to the garbage receptacles at the curb. With a thirteen-gallon trash can in my kitchen and a bunch of kids who seemed to spend all day generating garbage, this small quirk was fast becoming a huge inconvenience. Shortly after we moved in, we celebrated our fifteenth anniversary. My husband and I shared a beautiful and festive meal together at home, and then he said, “Your gift is in the dining room.” Curiously, I walked from the kitchen to the dining room. There, standing proud and tall in the middle of the room, was an enormous green 90-gallon outdoor garbage can, draped incongruously in tulle and tied with a huge pink bow. It was the best gift I have ever received.

L’chaim It came in a plain paper box. And it came with a note. Happy Birthday, from Tatty and Mommy. I opened the box to reveal six drinking glasses, and I cried. I don’t remember much about my childhood birthdays. Birthdays weren’t a thing in our house. Gifts were frowned upon because they spoiled you. And here I was, a 22-year-old married woman, and my parents had sent me a gift. I’m not sure what prompted it. But I know that I felt a rush of love — the kind I’d always yearned for. I sat on the couch, fingering the glasses. The moment felt surreal. A gift from my parents! A few years later, my husband and I were parents of our own children. Before my eldest’s third birthday, I told my husband about the cake I was planning to bake. “And the gift?” he asked. I looked at him. “A gift? But… but then we’ll
always have to give gifts, every birthday, for every child!” “So?” “So… they’ll come to expect it, and they’ll be spoiled!” My husband didn’t get it. When he was growing up, the birthday child was lifted on a chair to the ceiling and bounced the amount of times as his age. There was a party, a gift, and a very big deal. Even without the influence of my parents’ home, I was never a gift person. It must not be one of my love languages. But when we presented our daughter Chavi with a doll on her third birthday, my heart swelled. I could do the gift thing! And it’s an expression of love. Especially because I didn’t shower her with tchotchkes from the dollar store, this doll was special. Now, years later, my kids look forward to their birthdays; it’s their day in the spotlight. Of course, they also expect a gift. And I present them with one every year, with all my love.

Birthday Candles The Yamim Nora’im are a very exciting time in our family. My husband and I got engaged on Tzom Gedaliah, and our first child was born Motzei Yom Kippur. But the thing that makes my life complicated every single year is that my husband’s birthday is on Rosh Hashanah. With the endof-summer, back-to-school and Yom Tov seasons all colliding, it’s always one more impossible thing to do: figure out what to buy him as a gift. The year he turned 30, I was stumped. He already had a wallet, gloves, a scarf, a fancy pen, a watch, a weekday watch, a valet, a car valet, and every other useless mangift ever invented. But it was a special occasion, and I wanted to buy him a special gift. I had given him a silver esrog box the Sukkos we were engaged, and a silver kos the first time we made Pesach. Now, for this milestone birthday, I decided to buy him a silver menorah. I walked into the silver store a week before Rosh Hashana and stopped for a moment to get my bearings. All around me I saw beautiful honey dishes, kosos, vases, and leichters. I didn’t see a single menorah anywhere. “Can I help you?” the owner asked. “I’m looking to buy a menorah,” I said. She looked me up and down as if to check if I was really frum. “Are you sure?” she asked finally. “It’s my husband’s birthday,” I explained. She took me behind the counter, through a door, and down the steps to the basement. The menorahs stood wrapped tightly in plastic on long, plain storage shelves, a far cry from the shimmering, lighted display upstairs. It was hard to choose a piece in such a setting, but with much determination, I persevered. I wanted to present the menorah to my husband on his birthday, but it turned out to be halachically complicated. (Yes, I called a posek and said, “Are menorahs muktzah on Rosh Hashanah?”) So I gave it to him a little early. My husband was thrilled and touched by the special gift, and I was proud and relieved that I successfully got through another birthday. And the menorah continues waiting patiently, from Yom Tov to Yom Tov, for its turn to shine.

Out of the Depths I was never good at taking care of my jewelry. I was careless, and as a result, many valuable items would get lost. Mostly it was earrings. Whenever I lost an earring, my husband would console me, telling me that they were very small and of course they could fall and would be hard to find. Perhaps that was true in some cases, but just as often, I was to blame. Like when I left a precious pair that I had received from my mother on my nightstand, and my cute little boys decided to plant them in our garden. If they had sprouted more earrings, then it would have been worthwhile, but that did not happen, and those lovely earrings were gone forever. I have one special pair of earrings that I guard very well. They’re special to me because my husband gave them to me for my 40th birthday. He patiently accompanied me from one jewelry store to another as I looked for the perfect pair. Finally, after seeing many pairs, a storekeeper said, “Wait, we just got these in. Maybe you’ll like them.” And I did. And I still do, many years later. Latticed gold wraps around the lobe with tiny studs scattered around. Sadly, my husband was no longer with us by the end of that decade, which makes these earrings even more precious. One summer Shabbos, I put
these precious earrings on. I get so many compliments when I wear them, and I needed that. Since I was feeling low and looking for something to boost my spirits, instead of carefully putting the earrings away right after Shabbos, I left them on. A few days later, I attended a retreat with my kids for families that have lost a parent. My spirits were still somewhat low, and even though it’s easier to lose things when you travel, I kept wearing the earrings. The retreat had a great pool, and I couldn’t wait to get in and challenge myself to swim a kilometer. A few of my friends were doing it, and while I love swimming, I had never tried to swim such a great distance. I counted my laps, changing strokes rhythmically. Much to my surprise, I made it through the entire kilometer, and the thrill lifted my spirits. Soon I gathered my things and got ready to leave the pool area, and that’s when I realized that one of my earrings was missing. I walked back to the pool. Almost everyone was gone, and the lifeguard was packing up. I looked into the dressing room where I had changed. I walked around the pool and looked down at the bottom. First I looked at the side near the entrance, and then I walked around to the other side. I looked down into the deep blue water. Was I seeing things? There did seem to be something about the size of my earring at the bottom of the pool. Could it be? Or was it just a bit of debris? Men’s swimming hours were after dinner. I showed my twelve-year-old son the earring I still had and described where I thought the lost earring could be found in the pool. I wasn’t sure how good my son was at diving, and I wasn’t sure he was even listening to my instructions. At that point, it was really out of my hands. In the likely event that he wouldn’t find my earring, I would just have to come up with plan B. I said a few perakim of Tehillim. Hashem was in charge. Later that night, after all the activities were over, I asked my son if he found my earring. “Yes,” he said. As he dug into his swimming bag, I held my breath in disbelief. And there it was. The post was broken off, but it was just as beautiful as always. My husband gave me a gift, and Hashem gave it back to me. And in the future, the earrings stay home.

Housewarming Just in case I didn’t know how lucky I was, my mother made sure to let me know. “Wow — two ovens in your first apartment! You’re very lucky.” I shrugged and wandered around the spacious apartment. Second ovens were the last thing on my mind. After a long hunt, the potential of renting this place was a dream come true. The large, pretty kitchen, ample closets, wide hallways, and sunny rooms made me want to dance for joy. “Can we give a deposit, like, now?” I asked. “I don’t want to lose this opportunity.” A day later, five weeks before our wedding, the lease was signed. I hadn’t thought the second oven was such a big deal, but as I began to experiment in the kitchen more and more, I found myself using it a lot. I baked rich cheesecakes, savory eggplant parmesan, and other milchig delights. I fried cheese omelets and pancakes and cheese blintzes on the stovetop. I never really thought about what a convenience — no, a pleasure — it was. I took that milchig oven for granted. Four years and two kids later, a series of floods in our apartment pushed us to move. Our search for a new home was long. And full of despair. Nothing, I mean nothing, was comparable to our first apartment. Finally, we found The One. And it had room for two ovens in the kitchen! How lucky can a dairy aficionado get? The two ovens in our first apartment belonged to the landlord and remained there. We ordered a new fleishig oven to be delivered the day after moving day. As for the milchig oven… it would have to wait. I know, the Betty Crocker is every balebusta’s best friend. But I missed my milchig oven. The Betty Crocker took up precious counter space. It worked pretty well for frying pancakes, but how on earth do you bake a cheesecake in it? And I never felt like it was properly cleaned. I really wanted a milchig oven. I mentioned this repeatedly to my husband. Each

time, he’d hmm and say, “Let’s see if it will fit into next month’s budget.” Three months rolled by, each with a promise to reevaluate the next month. I gave up hope and reluctantly used the Betty Crocker, but felt frustrated and disappointed every time I wanted to cook milchig for supper. (Although you can “burn out” an oven to make it pareve, our rav paskened that I shouldn’t convert a fleishig oven to milchig and then back to fleishig on a regular basis.) The Nine Days arrived. With a frown, I prepared pareve meals in the fleishig oven. “I’m so not used to this,” I kvetched to my husband. “I really miss having a milchig oven.” My husband gave a sympathetic cluck of his tongue. Then he spread his arms wide. “I’m so sorry, but we can only buy one when we have the money for it.” Being the good wife that I am, I didn’t argue. But I did mention it every day. Thursday before Shabbos Nachamu there was a knock on the door. I opened it to find a delivery guy panting over a dolly with an oversized box. “Wrong address,” I said. He held out a paid invoice with my name and address on it. I stared at the box. It had stickers from an appliance store… and an illustration of an oven printed on it. I called my husband’s name, and he came running. “I thought we can’t afford a new oven!” I told him. “Well… I didn’t want to ruin the surprise,” he said. “First I was waiting for the July Fourth sales… And then there were Covid delays. Today was the soonest they could deliver it.” I never knew an oven could make me so happy. Now I’m just waiting for a new washer and dryer.

Keeps Me Going When my third child was born, we had three children under the age of two and a half, and I laughed when my husband asked me which stroller I wanted. “It’s crazy,” I told him. “We already have two strollers.” One was a bulky double and the other was a cumbersome single. How many strollers could one family have? But I kept dreaming of something slim and sleek, easy to handle and store. My life was a hectic dance of demanding motherhood, and getting to work in the pale mornings with a small baby and a large stroller was such a gesheft. A few days later, I was working frantically in the kitchen when I thought I heard a knock. But then a peeler thudded to the floor, and my daughter erupted in tears. My back was aching, little hands pulled at my skirt, so needy, so dependent, and so young. I ignored the knock. Then I heard it again. An impatient rap; someone was definitely at the door. Pulling my snood straight, I peered through the peephole. A gray Amazon Prime truck was parked in my driveway. I squinted. What was this? Tall and muscular delivery man was standing at the door with a bulky box. Behind me, a newborn wail rose. “Mommy,” the two-year-old whined, “You said we could do Perler beads!” I yanked open the door. “ S o r r y,” I told the man firmly, stress making my tone brusque, “you have the wrong address. Goodbye.” I whirled around again to face the chaos. Toys were strewn all over, along with the remains of supper. “Hello?” He was back again, the delivery guy. I couldn’t deal with this now; what did he want? “I checked with my supervisor,” he said with a smile. “It’s definitely for this

address.” I leaned forward. On the front of the white rectangular carton was an illustration of the latest Silver Cross lightweight stroller. I had told my husband I didn’t need another stroller. But I hadn’t stopped dreaming of one. And now it was here! Cars whizzed by, angry honks screaming through the traffic. Could it be? It was my birthday, after all! “Thank you,” I whispered, blinking. The Amazon driver gave me a strange look and sped off. The sun was waving the world goodbye, painting the sky with purple streaks of spontaneity. I watched my son as he painstakingly worked on his Perler beads, then tickled my toddler and watched her explode into childish giggles. I thought of the white box of my dreams as a noisy bedtime ensued; it gave me the strength I needed. Later, my husband’s smile gave it all away. I cried from happiness, from the joy in being understood and treated like the queen of my home. My life was a chaotic rush, true; full of laughter and cries, messes and spills, but there was someone looking out for me. I was not alone, and never was. As I use my sleek black stroller every morning, pushing, folding, carrying, I tap into that joy and surprise every day. In white fairytale snow, under a beaming golden sun, through towers of red-hued leaves, that gift propels me further.

When the Greeks wanted to crush our spirit, they outlawed Shabbos, Rosh Chodesh and bris milah — three mitzvos so integral to our People that without them, we could not exist.
BUT WE CLUNG TO THOSE MITZVOS AND TRIUMPHED — THEN AND NOW.
3 contemporary accounts of self-sacrifice
Shabbos
During the war years in Europe, a young boy escapes Germany. He’s only a teenager, and he’s alone. He’s safe in England, the only one of his family to get out, but the effort to survive is not over. A place to live, food to eat, a job — all these are his new responsibilities. Accustomed to a warm home and lively family, now he’s on his own. The war passes; day after day of working, waiting, hoping, to the tune of a rapidly breaking heart. Then it’s over, and he’s still alone.
ESTHER KING
More time passes. Now he’s more firmly established in his new country. He no longer goes to bed hungry. He no longer moves from place to place. He gets to know people; they get to know him. He’s tall, charming, responsible and soft-spoken. He meets a wonderful woman, and they get married. Now the struggle to survive takes on a new form. With a wife to support, he needs a better source of income. He begins schooling for a new career as an accountant. The field is lucrative and he is skilled; once he qualifies, he reasonably expects to be more comfortable. With a growing family, the need is urgent. The course takes two years, and he excels. Then the date of the final exam is announced. It is scheduled for Shabbos. He approaches the instructor. He approaches the dean. He writes letters to the board. He proposes solutions. He appeals to their humanity and their integrity. He is refused. He tries again, writes more letters, seeks advocates, follows their advice. But the board is intractable. He must take the test at the same time and place as all the other students, or he will not complete the course and qualify as an accountant. To take the test on Shabbos is impossible. The holy Shabbos — what did he survive for, if not to treasure Shabbos and transmit that love to future generations? But to miss the test is also impossible. Two years of work down the drain; the loss of the time, effort and investment;
the loss of the income, security and safety. Maybe giving up this one Shabbos could mean the ability to keep all other Shabbosos for the rest of his life…? He is alone in this country. His parents are dead. His community has been destroyed. His education, the source of his knowledge of Yiddishkeit, was cut short years ago. There is no one from whom to seek advice or receive chizuk. There is no one who will tell him, “Don’t worry, I’ll help you,” or even, “Stay strong, I’m with you.” There is no support system or fail-safe. He is totally alone to face the choice — and the consequences. He refuses to take the test. He loses the toil of two years of his life. But he is a survivor. He picks himself up, registers for a new course as a lawyer, goes back to school for two more years. This time, there are no scheduling conflicts. He takes the test and passes. He becomes a fully qualified lawyer, and from that day on, he never lacks income. His family grows, and he supports them comfortably. Decades later, his son observes that in his father’s life he witnessed the fulfillment of the promise, “levu alai v’Ani poraya.” Borrow on My account, Hashem says, and I will repay it. Now his children and grandchildren and their grandchildren number like the stars. Every one of them guards Shabbos and treasures it with all their heart.
THE HOLY SHABBOS — WHAT DID HE SURVIVE FOR, IF NOT TO TREASURE SHABBOS AND TRANSMIT THAT LOVE TO FUTURE GENERATIONS?

Rosh Chodesh
Mrs. Chava Sury Feldman of Yerushalayim shares a special connection with Tammy Karmel, an extraordinary woman who has been stricken with ALS. Tammy cannot move or breathe on her own, yet she breathes life and vitality into everyone around her. It’s as if she’s singing her way through the degenerative muscle disease she was diagnosed with ten years ago, making every moment of her life a melodious note in her symphony of praise to Hakadosh Baruch Hu.
Y. LEVENSTEIN
It is Rosh Chodesh Kislev when we speak, and Chava Sury is preparing to participate in a monthly Hallel choir in Tammy’s home. She shares the following:
ONE WOMAN PLAYS A KEYBOARD, MY SISTER BRINGS HER ACCORDION, AND SOMETIMES THERE’S A GUITAR OR VIOLIN TO COMPLETE THE SYMPHONY
I am fortunate to be part of a group of women who gather in Tammy’s home every Rosh Chodesh to sing Hallel together with Tammy. There are usually about twelve to fifteen of us in attendance, including many regulars who wouldn’t miss the experience for anything, and also visitors who pop in to taste the inspiration. For about an hour, we’re transported to a different place — a place where all that exists is gratitude, praise and closeness to Hakadosh Baruch Hu. One of the reasons we say Hallel on Rosh Chodesh is because on the first day of the new month, we thank Hashem for all He has done for us in the past month, and that we are zoche to be alive today to begin another month in our lives. This is the way Tammy lives, with this message that comes so alive in her dining room. When we finish singing Hallel, we continue with a medley of inspirational songs such as “Hatov ki lo chalu rachamecha” and “Ki lecha tov l’hodos.” One woman plays a keyboard, my sister brings her accordion, and sometimes there’s a guitar or violin to complete the symphony. Hallel and hoda’ah — thanking and praising Hashem — have always been part of Tammy’s essence, which is why Hallel and Rosh Chodesh are such a high point for her. This Rosh Chodesh choir began several years ago, when I, 218

along with a bunch of old school friends and acquaintances, used to get together in Tammy’s dining room for a good dose of chizuk. Once, when we gathered and realized it was Rosh Chodesh, we decided to daven Hallel together. The effect was so emotional and empowering that we decided then and there to make it a monthly tradition. I always leave with the feeling that it’s just so good to praise and thank Hashem. It’s an extreme-
ly uplifting feeling. Every week, Tammy shares a short message that she creates through the use of an eye-gaze device that tracks her eye movements. This involves the tedious and grueling process of moving her eyes ever so slowly to indicate the letters making up the words she would like to say. Recently, she explained a phrase of Hallel that defines her very essence. “I want to share with you a thought about the words and meaning of ‘Mah ashiv l’Hashem,’” Tammy began. “What can I give back to Hashem for all the gifts He has given me? Tell the ladies that when I say ‘Mah ashiv l’Hashem,’ I think of all the machinery I’m attached to that are keeping me alive, and I’m so grateful to Hashem.” Instead of complaining about the reason she needs the machinery, Tammy sees an opportunity to recognize the chesed of Hashem. Her extraordinary vision sees only good, and she remembers to thank Hashem for everything, whether it’s perceived as good or otherwise. Her gratitude to the Ribono Shel Olam has no end.

I remember Tammy from the days when we went to school together in London. She was always vivacious, with lots to offer and a heart of gold. Several years before she got ill, she began to deliver chinuch, shalom bayis and emunah shiurim that quickly became popular all over Yerushalayim. Even as she began losing control of her muscles, Tammy persisted and continued to speak publicly. I wasn’t among the first women at these shiurim, but my sister used to participate. Unfortunately, Tammy’s condition soon regressed to the point where she sometimes grew so weak while speaking that she would need to take a break (for oxygen). My sister suggested I come to the shiurim so we could lighten the atmosphere by using our musical talents and engaging the audience through song during these breaks, and that’s how Tammy’s shiurim became synonymous with singing. The simcha and music in Tammy’s home reverberates all the time, not only on Rosh Chodesh. When friends come to visit, they sing. Groups of women often come by to watch videos of Tammy’s own shiurim while in her company, and these visits inevitably conclude with a spontaneous kumzitz. Tammy once mentioned that when visitors sing to her, that is her davening. We try to sing songs that comprise whole chapters of Tehillim, so as to properly daven at the bedside of a choleh. Although she was more of a dancer than a singer as a girl, Tammy has a connection and appreciation for music. Many songs were composed especially for her, expressing the themes and ideals she lives by. I compose songs by profession (for the Mamme Lashon CD series), and I was asked to help write a song in honor of Tammy’s 50th birthday. Another memorable song, composed by Esty Sternlicht, tells of Tammy’s voice that is now silent, though we can still hear it. A few years ago, Tammy told us that she wanted to compose a song thanking Hashem for all that He does for us all the time. Just around then, Yanky Daskal composed such a song — “L’hodos u’lehallel… Tatte ich dank Dir…” This was ex220
The Boro Park View
December 6, 2023
www.thebpview.com · 718.408.8770
actly the message she was looking for, and she was delighted to hear it. Eventually, Daskal came to sing the song in her home, and it’s become one of the regular songs sung at Tammy’s. Despite her medical obstacles, Tammy’s home is a haven humming with warmth and happiness. The key to staying happy, Tammy says, is to thank Hashem and focus only on positive thoughts. Perhaps this explains the aura of simcha surrounding her. You would think it would be depressing to watch a woman with so much to offer, so much inner vitality raring to bubble over, jailed within her own body, yet the exact opposite is true. Anyone who spends time in Tammy’s presence leaves with inner tranquility. There’s only humor, simcha and gratitude to Hakadosh Baruch Hu; there is no place for sadness or depression in her home at all. Tammy once shared an interesting anecdote. “A man who was facing certain troubles came to speak with my husband. As they sat together at the table, the man suddenly realized that he was sitting in the home of the most disabled woman in town.” When Tammy showed us this message, I said to her, “Tammy, I beg to correct you! You are the most enabling woman in town!” She enables everyone to feel uplifted and thank Hashem for everything in life. Tammy gives chizuk in so many ways, enabling and empowering everyone to rise above any situation. In another weekly message Tammy explained, “I thank Hashem for giving me so many chances to crown Him by accepting His will, and I’ll tell you how I do it: I only allow myself to focus on positive thoughts. Now I wish you all the siyata d’Shmaya to be able to think like me.” May we indeed be zoche to sing along with her song, recognizing and thanking Hashem for all the bracha in our own lives.

Bris Milah
Nowadays, what follows the birth of a baby boy is the story of every yingele’s entrance to this world: The father calls a mohel, the baby is cleared for his bris, and with heartfelt tefillos and brachos for his future, the child enters the covenant of Avraham Avinu. Of course, every new mother worries and davens that the bris should go well, that her baby should easily be soothed, that the recovery should go smoothly. But for Gita Goldfarb* back in 1985, the story was quite different.
HADASSAH STEINMAN
As a temporary resident of Kiev in Soviet Russia, the modern-day Yavan, her primary concern wasn’t about how her firstborn would fare at his bris, but rather if they’d manage to give the child a bris at all, and without anyone getting arrested. “The situation was easier in Moscow, where there was significant Jewish activity,” Gita says. “But my husband was imprisoned during the time of my son’s birth, and I was staying at my parents’ home in Kiev, where the situation was much more difficult.” Gita’s parents called friends in Moscow and informed them of the baby’s birth. Nothing more was said on the bugged phone; the friends knew what needed to be done. Then another difficulty arose, one of hospital policy. As per regulations, a mother who’d given birth to her first child was required to stay in the hospital for ten days, instead of the usual six. So how would they manage to pull off a bris? While her parents pursued every lead, Gita spent the first few days of her son’s life hoping and davening that the child be zoche to a bris b’zmano. The sincere tefillos of Gita and her parents shoved all teva out of the way, and miraculously, right before the eighthday mark, a doctor came into the mother-baby ward and announced that due to Staph bacteria that was found in a nearby hospital, all mothers and babies from the affected hospital were being transferred to this maternity ward, and the mothers whose babies were over five days old were being discharged.
Marveling over the neis that just took place, Gita contacted her family to come pick them up. “There was no way I could travel to Moscow at that point,” Gita continues. “I had a tiny new baby, and travel between the two cities meant a 12hour train ride.” Gita returned to her parents’ home, and early in the morning of the baby’s eighth day, there was a knock at the door. “We looked through the peephole and saw a frum-looking man with a beard,” Gita says. “My mother let him in, and he introduced himself as Rashi, the mohel.” Clearly, the family’s friends in Moscow had risen to the occasion admirably and made the necessary arrangements. And so it was that on the morning of the child’s eighth day, the bris was performed joyfully and discreetly, and the baby joined the ranks of Yidden worldwide. Incredibly, Rashi had flown to Kiev from Leningrad for the express purpose of performing the bris. He agreed to stay overnight in order to keep an eye on the baby, but the following day he departed for the airport, bag of supplies in hand. “He was back three hours later, though,” Gitta adds, “because the airport in Kiev had a scanner, and there was no way the officials would allow Rashi through with his bag of supplies. He told my mother to keep it and send it to him by train, and she did so the following day by hiding it under a box of fruit she was sending to Leningrad for her ‘nephew.’ ”There was no fruit in Moscow or Leningrad, which were farther north,” Gita explains, “so this was a pretty typical occurrence. My mother paid a kind-looking conductor 20 rubles
FOR THE NEXT DAY OR TWO, THERE WERE NO UNWELCOME VISITORS. BUT ALL THAT SEEMED TO END ON DAY THREE

to keep an eye on the box, and she received a call from Rashi the following day thanking her for the beautiful apples.” In the meantime, Gita and her baby received a home visit from a nurse every single day, which was standard procedure until a newborn was two weeks old. When she first returned after the bris, Gita’s father plied the nurse with vodka and cake and convinced her that there was no need to check up on the baby any longer. “The baby’s all right,” her father said. “Don’t bother coming anymore. You may as well have one less stop to make every day.” With alcohol making this proposition that much sweeter, the nurse asked, “But will you sign the form stating that I visited?” “Of course I will!” said Gita’s father. For the next day or two, there were no unwelcome visitors. But all that seemed to end on day three. “There was a knock on the door,” Gita says, “and there stood a middle-aged female doctor with a pleasant expression on her face. She’d come to see the baby.” As he had done with the nurse, Gita’s father tried convincing the doctor that there was no need to examine the baby. “We have experience with babies,” he said, “and besides, the baby is sleeping now. Don’t bother.” But the doctor shook her head. “No,” she said. “I took the trolley and walked in the rain to check up on this baby. I didn’t come for nothing. Besides,” she added as a tiny wail rose up from the next room, “the baby’s up!” And before their very eyes, the doctor left Gita and her parents behind in the front room and purposefully strode to228

ward the sound of the baby’s crying. Gita and her mother froze. After a moment, Gita’s mother jumped up and chased after the doctor, but it was too late. The doctor had taken the baby and was already examining him. “My, my,” she said. “What did you do to your baby?” All pretense gone, Gita and her parents broke and explained to the doctor that they were Jewish, and that they’d given the baby a bris milah. “I’m Jewish too,” the doctor said unexpectedly, “but I’ve never heard of a ‘bris milah.’ I have heard of Americans doing circumcisions, however, and I believe it’s a good thing!” The doctor then remarked that she’d never seen a frum Jew in all of her 64 years, and how was it that they knew their religion so well? “We explained that we read lots of seforim and books, and we showed her how to get started,” Gita says. “We also spoke about kashrus, which she said wasn’t an issue for her as she was a vegetarian, and we taught her more about Shabbos and how she could go about working on weekends while transgressing the least amount of issurim possible.” Remarkably, this threat in doctor’s uniform became a friend in the end, and so it was that deep in the Soviet bitterness, a little boy’s bris set another soul alight. L’ilui nishmas Gita’s father, Reb Yosef ben Chaim z”l, who was a true hero.

A Chanukah Guide
N
ot far from the town of Berditchev lived a poritz whose vast wealth was outdone only by his vastly wild imagination. He’d come up with the strangest ways to indulge in all sorts of odd pleasures, and nothing could stop him from attaining his whim. When he decided he was in the mood of skiing in the
middle of the summer, an entire mountain of sugar was created so he could slide down its slopes. When he dreamed of reveling in alcohol quite literally, an entire pool was filled with whiskey so he could take a swim.
A Yid marveled over the foibles of the ostentatious poritz to the Kedushas Levi. “Has he ever lit the Chanukah candles?” Reb Levi Yitzchok asked. “Of course not!” came the reply. “What does a non-Jew have with Chanukah?!” Reb Levi Yitzchok explained: “Exactly! A person who has never merited lighting Chanukah licht has no perception of pleasure in Olam Hazeh! The mitzvah of Chanukah is so treasured and beloved that anyone who hasn’t tasted it has no idea what indulgence means!” The Gemara (Taanis 28a) tells us that one of the gezeiros the Yevanim made in the initial phases of their leadership was a ban on bringing wood for the ma’arachah on the Mizbei’ach and a ban on bringing Bikkurim. 234

The Maharsha explains that the Yevanim chose to prohibit specifically these two offerings since they were typically brought amidst much joy. The Yevanim were not yet trying to stop us from performing mitzvos altogether; rather, they wanted to put a stop to the simcha that comes along with doing them. They understood that if the simcha factor was removed, Klal Yisroel would lose motivation in actually keeping the mitzvos. How appropriate is our “revenge”! To this day, Chanukah is a mitzvah that is ever so cherished and dear to our hearts, as the Rambam famously says. We light the menorah with such anticipation and excitement, and with this joy, we retaliate against the Yevanim’s goal of reducing our simcha shel mitzvah and ultimately our privileged connection with Hakadosh Baruch Hu.
Enhancing your care - full circle.
A Halachic Summary Here we present a practical summary of the beloved halachos of Chanukah, based on the Shulchan Aruch, poskim, and shiurim given by Rabbi Betzalel Rudinsky, shlit”a.
COMPILED BY: HESHY FRIEDMAN
Hadlakas Ner Chanukah The custom among Sefardim is that only one menorah is lit per household. The custom among Ashkenazim is that every male member of the household over the age of chinuch does his own hadlakah. One should not use a curved menorah, or a menorah where the candles are at different heights. Today, when we have electric lights, it is no longer necessary to keep a shamash lit. However, the minhag avoseinu is still to use a shamash for every indoor hadlakah. Only one shamash is necessary, even if multiple people will be lighting. If one lit the menorah properly with enough oil, and the candles burned out on their own within a half hour, he has still fulfilled his obligation of the mitzvah. Nevertheless, it is preferable to relight the extinguished candles, without a new bracha. If one was mekabel Shabbos and his neiros became extinguished before shekiah, he may have someone else who was not yet mekabel Shabbos rekindle the neiros.

Makom Hadlakah The general minhag in Eretz Yisroel is to light outside, and the general minhag in chutz la’aretz is to light inside. One should not deviate from the minhag hamakom without prior consultation with his rav. A ben Eretz Yisroel visiting chutz la’aretz, and a ben chutz la’aretz visiting Eretz Yisroel, should follow the minhag hamakom. The height of the ner Chanukah should be above 3 tefachim (approximately 12 inches). One still fulfills his obligation of the mitzvah b’dieved even if it is below 3 tefachim. The Shulchan Aruch states it is a mitzvah to have the height of the neiros less than 10 tefachim. Many hold this is less relevant today, when we light indoors and have designated menorahs and electric lights. If one has a choice to light below 10 tefachim but not in front of a window, or above 10 tefachim in front of a window, lighting in front of the window is preferred. A menorah may not be lit above 20 amos (30 to 40 feet), and one does not fulfill their obligation even b’dieved at that height. However, when lighting indoors in a tall apartment building, the height is counted from the floor of the apartment, not the height of the building. In chutz la’aretz, where we generally light indoors, it is still preferred to do the hadlakah by the window where there will be an additional pirsumei nes for the people outside. However, if one is unable to light by a window, anyplace inside where one typically doesn’t light other candles will suffice. A high-traffic area in the home where the candles are more visible is preferred.
Hadlakas Beis Knesses One who does a hadlakah in shul between Mincha and Maariv does so with a bracha, and repeats the brachos again when he lights at home. The exception is Shehecheyanu, which one would not make again at home — unless he is being motzie his family with the hadlakah, in which case he would make Shehecheyanu again. In a shul, one places the menorah toward the southern wall of the shul, which will be on the right side of the aron kodesh. The person lighting should stand behind the menorah with his back to the southern wall, and light from east to west. The inyan of doing a hadlakah at a minyan between Mincha and Maariv is only for a beis knesses or beis midrash. There is no requirement to light at a minyan outside of shul. One may extinguish the neiros in a shul after davening even if they have been lit for less than a half hour.
Zman Hadlakah The ideal time to do hadlakas neiros is at tzeis hakochavim. For the zman of tzeis hakochavim, one keeps the same zman as he would for Motzei Shabbos. One should follow those poskim who hold to light at shekiah only if he has a strong family minhag to do so. Once the zman hadlakah arrives, the person who will light is not allowed to learn or sit down to eat a meal or have mezonos food. If one already started eating before noticing the time, he should stop eating further. However, one may eat fruits, vegetables and other Shehakol snacks. Others waiting for the main member of the household to arrive and light may eat while they are awaiting his arrival. Today, when we light inside, the lighting should ideally be postponed until all family members are present, unless they will be arriving very late. Although one should light as soon as possible once the zman arrives, one may light until alos hashachar. If one lights very late and their family members are already sleeping, it is preferable to wake them so they can join in the hadlakah. Candles should remain lit for a half hour and not be extinguished prior to that.

Proper Procedures When Lighting One should hold the shamash while making the brachos. One lights the additional ner first, and then continues lighting the rest of the neiros, going left to right. When lighting the menorah, one should hold the shamash to the candle until the wick is fully lit. There is no obligation to relight a candle if it was lit properly and burned out on its own, although it would be commendable to relight it. Although one is allowed to benefit from the neiros after they have been lit for a half hour, one should preferably avoid this. One should avoid moving the neiros, even from one appropriate location to another appropriate location, within the first half hour of the hadlakah.

Achsanai (Guest) and Traveling on Chanukah Ner Chanukah for Women and Girls Women and girls over bas mitzvah are obligated to light ner Chanukah. Under normal circumstances, their obligation is fulfilled when an adult male member of their household lights the ner Chanukah. Although Ashkenazic custom is that each member of the family lights candles, married women and single girls customarily do not light when an adult male member of their household lights for them. If no adult male member will be present for the hadlakah, a woman or girl is required to make her own hadlakah with a bracha. A woman may fulfill the obligation for other women. It is preferable for the entire family to be present during the hadlakah. However, if a husband will be arriving late, he may give his wife permission to light for the family prior to his arrival. Women or girls who are not present at the time of a hadlakah in their home are still included in the household lighting and do not need to light separately. However, women or girls sleeping away from home should make their own hadlakah. Women customarily refrain from work for the first half hour after the candles are lit. This is generally defined as labor-intensive work that is timeconsuming, and does not include food preparation tasks such as making dinner.

A man who is away from home during Chanukah can be yotzei with the hadlakah of his family at home. However, it is still preferable for him to do his own hadlakah where he is residing. In this case, it is best to hear the brachos from someone else, or do the hadlakah with a bracha prior to the time that his family lights. An overnight guest can either light on his own, or contribute toward his host’s oil and be yotzei with the hadlakah of his host. However, a guest staying over together with his family is not able to fulfill the obligation of his family through his own hadlakah as an achsanai. Each individual family member must either be yotzei with the hadlakah of the baal habayis, or do their own individual hadlakah. The chiyuv hadlakah is on a person in his bayis. That means that one must light within the confines of the place where he will be sleeping over or where he slept over the previous night. However, a guest for Shabbos who will be sleeping at his host’s neighbor, but will be spending time and eating with his host, should light at his host rather than at the neighbor where he is sleeping (or be included with his host’s hadlakah). One must light at his home or where he is staying over. One may not light in a place where he will just be eating dinner. One should therefore not schedule any events at the zman hadlakah, because all guests will need to light at their own bayis. One should not schedule to travel overnight without a bayis, unless his family will be making a hadlakah at his home. One who is in a hotel should light in his room, if possible. If there are safety issues, or if lighting in the room is not allowed by the hotel, he should light in the lobby and eat there. If even that is also not allowed, he should be yotzei with his family’s hadlakah at home. One who is in a hospital or healthcare facility overnight should light in the lobby, if possible, and eat a meal there. If there is a bikur cholim room, he should light there and eat a meal there. If one is in a situation where he is traveling and/or unable to light at his location, and he has no family lighting at home for him, in this b’dieved situation, he should appoint someone to sleep over in his home who will do the hadlakah for him. One can be yotzei through the hadlakah of his family at home even if he is in a different time zone with a different zman hadlakah.

Hadlakah on Erev Shabbos On Friday, the neiros Chanukah are lit before the neiros Shabbos. The earliest time to light ner Chanukah on Friday is plag Mincha, which is 1¼ hours (sha’os zemaniyos) prior to shekiah. It is preferable to daven Mincha at an earlier minyan prior to hadlakas ner Chanukah. However, if one did not daven Mincha early, he should still light the neiros prior to Mincha and not miss tefillah b’tzibbur. One needs to have enough oil or use candles that will last long enough to remain lit until a half hour past shekiah.
Al Hanissim and Hallel If one forgot to say Al Hanissim in Birkas Hamazon, he should not repeat Birkas Hamazon. However, if one remembers that he missed it prior to completing Birkas Hamazon, he should recite “HaRachaman Hu yaaseh lanu nissim,” and then proceed with “Biyemei Matisyahu...” If one forgot Al Hanissim in Shemoneh Esrei, and did not yet complete the bracha, it may still be recited at that point. Once Hashem’s name was stated in the bracha, Al Hanissim may no longer be recited, and one should not repeat Shemoneh Esrei. However, one may say Al Hanissim prior to “Yiheyu l’ratzon” before taking three steps back. Chatzi Kaddish is recited by the chazzan after Hallel, except when Chanukah coincides with Rosh Chodesh, where Kaddish Shalem is recited. If the chazzan accidentally recited Kaddish Shalem after Hallel when it was not Rosh Chodesh, the Kaddish after Ashrei-Uva L’Tzion that is normally a Kaddish Shalem should be a Chatzi Kaddish instead. There is a debate whether women have a chiyuv to say Hallel on Chanukah or whether they can fulfill their obligation with any praise to Hashem. It is therefore recommended for them to avoid this safek and to say Hallel.

Hadlakah on Motzei Shabbos The prevalent custom on Motzei Shabbos, as stated by the Shulchan Aruch, is that ner Chanukah should be lit prior to Havdalah. However, there are other opinions that say that Havdalah comes first. One should preferably follow the custom of the Shuchan Aruch unless he has a family minhag otherwise. When lighting ner Chanukah prior to Havdalah, if one forgot Atah Chonantanu in Maariv, he should make sure to say “Baruch hamavdil bein kodesh l’chol” prior to hadlakas ner Chanukah.
Chanukah Festivities There is no obligation to have a seudah or Chanukah party, though it is meritorious to do so. However, a seudah or Chanukah party where there is song and praise to Hashem, including divrei Torah for Chanukah, qualifies as a seudas mitzvah. Although it is commendable to attend such events, one should not disturb a scheduled seder limud to attend, unless there are overriding shalom bayis considerations. The Rema states a custom to eat cheese on Chanukah, recalling the miracle of Yehudis bas Yochanan Kohen Gadol, who killed the enemy general through cheese.
DISCLAIMER: SOME POSKIM MAY RULE DIFFERENTLY ON VARIOUS HALACHOS. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR HALACHIC AUTHORITY FOR PERSONAL GUIDANCE.
A special thank you to Dr. Moshe Frommer for his input and analysis for this guide, and to Rabbi Benzion Brodie and Rabbi Yosef Fishman for their review.

CHANA GLUCK
Latkes are a labor of love. For best best results, you can’t prep ’em in advance, and you can’t freeze ’em. The before, during and after of it happens now. Now is when you’re making them, now is when you’re serving them, now is when they’re being eaten – literally as they come out of the pan. In those days, in this time; making latkes means living in the moment. To honor a dish so steeped in tradition, we’ve invited our food editor and two recipe contributors to share their perfect latke recipe. With three winning recipes and loads of pointers, you’ll be more than ready for Chanukah.
Meet
MIRIAM PESSY WERCBERGER Food Editor You can get a Yiddishe mama out of the kitchen, but you can’t get the love of cooking, serving and nurturing out of a Yiddishe mama. I wholeheartedly adore everything about the kitchen. It’s my happy place, and I frequently find myself knee-deep in cookie dough as a way to relax and unwind. Accompanying music is optional, but recommended.
INGREDIENTS 3 2
eggs
1
small onion (this does the double duty of adding a great albeit subtle taste and slowing the oxidation process of the batter)
1
tsp. salt pinch of black pepper

This recipe is a prize I received during a phone conversation with my managing editor, Libby Tescher. I’ve always wanted to produce latkes that are not gooey in the middle, and the perfectly fine shred here accomplishes that. Actually, no — it magically eradicates all goo. With crispness all around, these latkes are just perfect, and if that costs me an extra step with the grater, so be it. However, it may not be for the faint of heart. (To simplify the process, you can use a food processor and alternate between the shredder blade for half the potatoes and the kugel blade for the other half.) Chanukah finds me serving latkes to my family at least three times, and Pesach gives me another opportunity, as per tradition at my in-laws. She serves two types during the daytime meals along with the tzvibel mit ei.
PREPPING MY SPACE I use a heavy Farberware steel pan. My recipe yields 12 to 14 nice-sized latkes — enough for one sitting at the Wercbergers.
MY FRYING PROCESS I don’t deep-fry; I start out with an inch or so of oil and add as needed. I aim for latkes that are generously comfy in size; a whispered techinah gets every part of it just right. The Boro Park View

1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them lightly with a fork. 2. Shred the potatoes and onion directly into the bowl using the fine grating side (the small, smooth holes) of a box grater. Alternatively, you can grate half the potatoes with the kugel blade in your food processor and the other half with the shredder blade. 3. Add season with salt, pepper and flour. Mix to combine. Fry until golden. Drain.
SERVE WITH Love. My latkes get served with lots of love. It’s a Yom Tov in my family whenever they’re served. I don’t adorn them in any way, as latkes are inherently perfect just the way they are. L’chaim!
Meet
FAIGY REIRecipeNContributor ER I’ve been cooking since I was little. I remember vacation days when I was as young as fourth grade, when my aunts would gather at our house and I’d cook them breakfast. My paternal grandmother, a Hungarian cook par excellence who makes the best stuffed cabbage ever, is my inspiration. My favorite part of the kitchen is being creative in it. You’ll find me painting at the pottery store in my free time, exercising to keep my sanity, and grocery shopping as a hobby.
MY GO-TO LATKE This recipe is a combo of my mother’s and grandmother’s, which, to me, is the best of both worlds. This specialty is reserved for Chanukah only, during which I make it one or two times.
PREPPING MY SPACE I use a regular frying pan, deep and large. At 6 to 8 latkes in the pan at a time, I need to fry three batches. I use only stainless steel utensils, all of which are on the counter near me so I can watch the flame at all times.

INGREDIENTS 5
Idaho potatoes
4
eggs Plastic soup spoon of salt (I find that Himalayan pink tastes better but regular table salt also works) Bit of pepper
THIS LATKE’S SECRET I grate the potatoes with the kugel blade in my food processor and then squeeze out all the water completely, either by hand or with a sieve. This keeps the mixture whiter and makes for super crispy latkes, since water in the batter slows down the frying as it repels oil.
MY FRYING PROCESS I don’t deep fry. I add a nice layer of oil to the bottom of the pan, making sure it’s super hot at 350°. This can be checked with a thermometer, or a wooden spoon, which should bubble mightily when inserted in the oil. Once fried, I drain the latkes on paper towels.
SERVE WITH Spicy ketchup.
UPGRADE Stack them with pulled beef on top, or serve them with fresh slices of lox along with chives or dill.

LIBBY GOLDBERGER Recipe Contributor I love everything kitchen-related. Having developed this hobby in adulthood and being blessed with a family that appreciates simple cooking, baking is where I can use my creativity. I get my cooking fix by creating recipes for The Boro Park View. My kitchen work is actually an offshoot of my love of using my hands; I enjoy art and would style hair as a kid. Recipe groups got me excited about baking and cooking, and both developed into an enjoyable hobby.
MY GO-TO LATKE
PREPPING MY SPACE I like to use a wire rack for the latkes to cool, with paper towels under it to absorb the excess oil. Grating the potatoes into the egg mixture keeps it from browning, and making small latkes versus bigger ones gets you crispness all around. The Boro Park View
2
potatoes
2
eggs
1
tsp. salt
½
tsp. black pepper
½
cup oil for frying
D IR EC T I O N S 1. In a bowl, mix the eggs, salt and black pepper. Peel the potatoes. Using the small-holed side of a hand grater, grate the potatoes into the egg mixture. 2. Heat the oil in a medium non-stick frying pan. Using a slotted spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil, about 4 to 5 latkes at a time. Fry for 1 to 2 minutes, then flip over and fry for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden and crispy. 3. Place the fried latkes on a wire rack to cool.
This is my own recipe that evolved by trial and error. I delight in serving it to my family over Chanukah, but not too often, as my kids enjoy different variations of fried and fun. Some nights it’ll be french fries, and others, dreidel-shaped fried potatoes. (I get the dreidel shape by cutting two L-shaped corners out of the top of the potato to form the dreidel stick, two slanted corners out of the bottom, and then cutting the potato into thin dreidel slices.)

SERVE WITH Going simple is setting them out on a big plate in the center of the table, or bringing them out to licht tzinden. Nothing makes me feel better than having them disappear before making it to the table, though — it shows how much my kids like their latkes hot and fresh! I make them as an extra anyway and don’t rely on them to serve as a side dish.

SAY CHEESE! In the typical local kitchen today, graters star mainly as potato pulverizers. But the grater was actually developed for the purpose of turning hard blocks of cheese into something more servable. Outside of our kugel-producing kitchens, that is still the usage the world identifies graters with; the word “grater” is largely understood to be referring to cheese graters.
GOING TO PIECES Two European fellows take credit for this 1540s invention: Francois Boullier of France and Isaac Hunt of England. And though Hunt’s claim of being first seemingly has holes in it, it was a pretty brilliant idea: He designed his cheese grater in order to stretch cheese during a shortage, as the grating bulks up volume using less cheese.
CAN A LATKE BE BEAT? According to one food expert, the most popular grated-potato dish is potato rosti. It’s similar to the latke but has no binding ingredients. To make it, you mix grated potato with melted butter and fry the mixture in loose mounds. Hmm, I might try it this Chanukah!
THE GRATE KEEPER There’s a woman who is so fond of cheese graters that she owns an extensive collection of them. The owner of some four thousand antique kitchen items, Kathleen Thompson Hill has an entire collection of historical graters with stories to tell. Her collection has even made it into museum exhibits.
SAVING FACE AND KNUCKLES Close to 400 years later, during the Great Depression, Philadelphia cheesemonger Jeffrey Taylor read about Bouillier’s idea, and it inspired him to stretch the cheese (and vegetable) supply and make food look more substantial during a time when people were often hungry. He made his own grater by sharpening the holes of a metal shower drain. Then he shredded the foods before sprinkling them onto dishes. A similar idea was implemented by a man named Bromwell in Ohio during this time. He attached a handle to the back of his drain-turned-grater and called it the Knuckle Saver since this method of scraping the grater on the cheese kept knuckles and fingers out of the danger zone.

THE GREAT LATKE DEBATE
GRATING NOTES
Latke makers are divided into camps over the great (no, I will bite my lip and not use a pun) debate over which method results in the best latkes — hand-grating or machine processing.
In Central American countries like Jamaica, a grater is included in your typical band as an instrument of music when traditional music is played. A fork is scraped against the grater to produce the desired sounds. Sounds rather grating, does it not?
It seems that the majority of culinary experts insist that grating by hand results in the crispiest, tastiest version. The reason? Hand graters produce uneven shreds that are tapered at the ends, as opposed to mostly uniform shreds produced by a food processor’s blade. This allows the merging of the grated pieces into a smooth potato pancake, as well as providing a more nuanced texture, as different parts of each potato shred cook differently. There are those who also say that it’s the chemical bonding of the potatoes coming in contact with the hand that produces the taste that sets it apart from the processed potato latkes. Not sure how that works for the people who hand-grate their potatoes while wearing gloves…
THE WORLD’S OVERSIZED GRATERS Some architects are so enamored by the grater concept that they mimic its aesthetics in their multi-million-dollar designs. And they are spot-on, because in the world over, these architectural structures were immediately dubbed Cheese Grater by locals and visitors.

Uncover the Mystery of
Underneath the veneer of the straw hat and the light-colored suit was a brilliant talmid chacham and a world-class posek who would go anywhere, anytime, to help another. In the years after the Holocaust, this talmid of Brisk went where few others would go, committed to building Torah in America’s South. He was Rav Nota, the rav and posek, not only to his kehillah in Memphis, but for thousands throughout America, bringing countless Jews back to Torah observance long before there was a kiruv movement. He traveled literally millions of miles to write gittin, enabling men and women to rebuild their lives. Rav Nota’s story shows us how much one person can accomplish – and inspires us to follow his shining example.
REBBI MEIR BAAL HANESS Welcome to the world of Rebbi Meir Baal HaNess, a place where the loving embrace of Hashem to His people is tangible. Discover the power of the words “Eloka D’Meir Aneini,” and how Rebbi Meir’s worldview is the very foundation of Torah. Rabbi Daniel Glatstein is one of the Jewish world’s most popular speakers and respected maggidei shiur. This landmark work will uplift your heart even in the most trying times.

THE BLIND WATCHMAN Reb Yose's kindness extended to all, even those who wronged him. His former wife and her wealthy second husband fell on hard times following the latter's loss of sight, when he could no longer be a watchman. Hearing of their dire straits, and despite her mistreatment of Reb Yose during their marriage, the merciful rabbi housed and fed the destitute couple for the rest of their lives. (ג/)בראשית רבה י"ז
