MIND THE MOOD

(Re: Set the Table, Set the Mood, Issue 247)

Thank you for the Shabbos Nachamu article with inspiration for how to set a nice table. I would like to add something on this topic. There is a famous saying, “Food sets the mood,” but I once heard a wise woman say, “Mood sets the food.” If setting your table and preparing gourmet meals comes at the expense of your family and will make you nervous, stressed or upset, then it isn’t worth it. You can have a simply set table and simple food, but if your mood is calm and happy, the meal will be enjoyed to its fullest.

MEANINGFUL READING

(Re: Nechemiah’s Return, Issue 247)

Thank you so much for the articles about the Batei Mikdash and the time of Nechamiah. One of the things I appreciate so much about The Boro Park View is the content you print that is so appropriate for the time of year. I learned so much from these two articles; I had never learned the story of Nechemiah before, and although I had learned all about the building and destruction of each of the Batei Mikdash, it was really all one big mush in my mind.

Now I found it deeply meaningful to have a clear understanding of something that is really so central to our existence and our future. I realize the magazine is a business, but I appreciate the high standards you keep and the meaningful material you provide for us each week.

CHANGE OF HEART

(Re: POV, Issue 247)

WATCH YOURSELF TRANSFORM IN A

HEALTHY WAY

A few weeks ago, I read the upcoming POV question about sending packages to camp and thought my answer was a no-brainer — an adamant no. I had done quite enough, thank you, just shopping and preparing my daughter for camp. I was definitely absolved of any requirement to create Shabbos packages and the headache of finding a ride to take it. I was also reluctant to encourage a sense of entitlement in my daughter. Besides, if she can’t even manage to cope without homemade food for a few weeks, how is camp benefitting her?

But from the time the question was published until the answers were printed, something significant happened: I sent my oldest daughter to camp for the first time.

Suddenly, I was overcome with a strong desire — no, a need — to send her a package.

It wasn’t about my daughter and her expectations. It was about me and my need to nurture and connect with my child while she ate meals I didn’t cook and wore clothes I didn’t wash.

It feels unnatural to bake muffins for all of my favorite people without stashing some away for my daughter while hoping I’ll find a convenient ride to her camp. I express my longdistance love to her by purchasing her

favorite snack on my weekly grocery run, which I send along when I replace her lost toothbrush. I find it comforting to stand at the bus stop on a hectic Friday with a shopping bag filled with love for my daughter whom I miss so much.

To all of you gnashing your teeth at my naivete, enmeshment and the high standards I’m creating, I welcome your feedback. You might be right. Maybe I really am putting my own needs before hers and spoiling her in the process. But still, my motherly love will have me packing up cookies and cherries and challah as soon as my neighbor tells me she’s heading up to the Catskills for Shabbos.

PERFECT POCKET

(Re: POV, Issue 246)

After reading about a chashuve rebbetzin encouraging women to refrain from wearing crossbody bags, I would like to share that there is now a new item on the market called Safecel, which is a cell phone pocket that you wear on your wrist. It’s a practical and convenient way to keep your phone on you, especially in the summer when you don’t have any coat pockets. You can purchase it at all the local cell phone stores.

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE — TO GOOD TO BE GOOD

“Chase is handing out bundles of cash… Make some easy money… Bonus 120,000 points…” There has recently been a surge in ads promoting credit card “rewards.”

When you turn the page to the classified ads, you’ll notice some different ads. Are you trapped in debt? We can help… Are you struggling with your credit score? We’ll repair your credit…

Before signing up for a credit card, consider this: Is the promise of rewards worth the potential cost?

Before you open a credit card, a financial coach from an organization like RSK can offer valuable advice and support. They can help you understand the longterm impact of credit card debt and guide you toward healthy financial decisions.

You’ll also find out how many people pay large sums of money to fix their credit. You’ll find out how many people pay hundreds or thousands of dollars in interest to their credit card companies every month. All for what? Because they earned $2,000 in points.

DO YOUR KIDS HAVE A BEDTIME? DO YOU USE MELATONIN?

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST BEDTIME CHALLENGE?

I try to get my three-, six-, and sevenyear-old kids to bed between 7:30 and 8:00 p.m. I am definitely all for melatonin! The baby and older kids are so noisy; how else will the little ones go to sleep? – A Reader

My kids have a set bedtime. In the winter, I’m more rigid about it. In the summer, I let go a little and unofficially stretch their bedtime to somewhat later. I do not use melatonin, Mel-oChews or Mel-o-Drops, ever. There’s ongoing research on the topic suggesting that it may affect future health, and I don’t want to take that chance. My biggest bedtime challenge is getting the kids to come inside from outdoor play to start bedtime. – A Reader

My kids have a set bedtime, and I’m very rigid about it. As a working mother, the only time I have for housework and for myself is at night. Therefore, early bedtime is important to me! The price I pay is that they’re up really early. – A Reader

My kids (ages eight and down) do have set bedtimes, baruch Hashem. I really try to stick to bedtime for everyone’s sake, and they usually fall asleep fast. The challenge? When we have overnight guests… – A Reader

My preschool kids don’t have a set bedtime. I aim for anywhere between 7:00 and 8:00 p.m., depending on the day and on how tired they are. I don’t want to put them to bed if they aren’t tired yet because that’s asking for trouble. I do give one child melatonin because he used to be in bed for three hours each night before falling asleep. This caused him to be cranky and irritable all day. My greatest bedtime challenge is getting my kids to stay in bed in the morning when it’s already light outside but not yet time to get up. They don’t know the difference between 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. – R.R.

Bedtime is at 7:00 p.m. Melatonin is not needed. Baruch Hashem, so far I haven’t had any bedtime challenges with my toddler. She goes to sleep nicely and sleeps through the night. – R.G.

I have one nine-month-old baby, and she has a set bedtime. I listened to sleep consultant Chaya Shifra Sadoff’s classes on the Akeres Habayis hotline and follow her method, which allows for half an hour of wiggle room (earlier or later) for a set bedtime. I definitely don’t give my baby melatonin and hope not to have to even when she gets older. My greatest bedtime challenge is on Yom Tov when she’s off schedule. It always takes her a few days to get back on track. – A Reader

My younger ones have a somewhat consistent bedtime. I have never given melatonin in my eighteen years of parenting nor would I consider it, and I’ve had plenty of opportunity to! My greatest challenge with bedtime is when younger ones consider themselves part of the older kids and don’t cooperate with their earlier bedtime. – R.R.

I try to have a time frame for bedtime versus an exact time. I use melatonin if I need to leave the house and I’m having a babysitter watch the kids. The greatest challenge is getting my children to stop what they’re doing and get ready for bed. – R.R.

MY KIDS USUALLY GO TO SLEEP AT 7:00 P.M. MY BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS HAVING TO STOP THE PARTYING THAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY GO TO SLEEP! – L.W.

For my two- and three-year-old kids, I aim for 7 o’clock sharp, including Friday night and Motzei Shabbos, regardless of when the z’man is. – A Reader

We usually start bedtime at around 6:00 p.m., and everyone is usually in bed by 6:45 to 7:00 p.m. After that is a whole ‘nother parsha! First, one needs a drink. Then the other one needs a drink. Then the baby loses her pacifier. Then the first wants to be covered again, and so does the second and the third... Then they remind themselves that we didn’t sing their gitte nacht song. So we start all over again. Then we go around and give hugs and kisses again! And again!! And AGAIN!!! Good night, kiddos! – G.S.

NO, MY KIDS DO NOT HAVE A SET BEDTIME. I PUT THEM TO SLEEP BETWEEN 7:30 AND 8:00 P.M. I FIND IT CHALLENGING WHEN THEY DO MISCHIEF IN BED BEFORE SETTLING DOWN AND ACTUALLY FALLING ASLEEP. – D.G.

Yes, my children do have a set bedtime, which is usually staggered based on age, and also tends to run late... My greatest bedtime challenge starts with a capital H and ends with work. Getting that out of the way so bedtime can run on time is so challenging! – L. Lev

I aim for a 7:00 p.m. bedtime for the younger kids. My greatest challenge is when a kid stays up or wakes up from nightmares. When that happens, I’ll usually give them melatonin just to get them to fall asleep. – A Reader

My one-year-old goes to bed at 6:45 p.m. My three-year-old goes to bed when my younger one is sleeping. I don’t use melatonin. My greatest challenge is that my three-year-old needs a drink, the bathroom and whatever else he could possibly think of when it’s time to go to sleep. – A Reader

No, we don’t have a set bedtime. I remember my mother asking me when my kids go to sleep and, embarrassingly, not having an answer… Melatonin is only for extreme situations; children should be tired at the end of a long day. My biggest challenge is having enough energy to say Shema with each child when all I want is to crawl into bed myself. – A Reader

We aim for 7:00 p.m., but every day is different. I learned to appreciate the joys of living in the moment, and I became less strict to allow for more bonding time. I don’t use melatonin on a regular basis, only if I need them to sleep before a simcha. My greatest challenge is teaching my little ones to sleep in their own bed and through the night. Once that’s taken care of, everything else is so much easier. – A Reader

MELATONIN IS FOR DAYS WHEN THE KIDS ARE TOTALLY OFF SCHEDULE AND NEED TO GET BACK ON TRACK, LIKE AFTER A LONG YOM TOV, FOR INSTANCE. –

A READER

We try to keep our kids to the bedtimes recommended by their melamdim in cheder . My greatest challenge is getting the kids to stay in bed and not come out a hundred times, and getting the older kids to stop disturbing the younger ones who are almost asleep. –Anonymous

MY KIDS HAVE A SET BEDTIME, THOUGH WE ARE MORE FLEXIBLE ABOUT IT IN THE SUMMER. DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, THE HARDEST PART IS GETTING THE CHILDREN INDOORS, BUT ONCE THAT’S ACCOMPLISHED, BEDTIME USUALLY PROCEEDS SMOOTHLY. – A READER

Bedtime is at 7:15 p.m. I don’t give melatonin. My greatest challenge? When the house is busy and noisy, it’s hard to get the little ones to sleep. – Anonymous

YES, EACH KID HAS A SET BEDTIME. I ONLY USE MELATONIN IN TIMES OF EMERGENCY, LIKE IF I NEED TO LEAVE THE KIDS WITH A BABYSITTER, OR IF A CHILD UNEXPECTEDLY NAPPED DURING THE DAY. MY GREATEST CHALLENGE IS TO COLLECT MYSELF AT 6:30 P.M. AND START THE BEDTIME PROCESS, SINCE I KNOW WHAT’S IN STORE FOR ME... – A LOCAL MOTHER

Consistent bedtime for my kids is very important to me. I feel like my kids have developed an awareness for sleep, and they can tell me when they’re tired, or if they’d like to go to sleep earlier because they were tired during the day. I do use melatonin, but very sparingly. My biggest challenge is keeping to my own bedtime! – A Reader

MY CHILDREN HAVE AN OFFICIAL BEDTIME, AND THEY’RE USUALLY IN BED WITHIN THAT HALF HOUR.

I DON’T USE MELATONIN, AND MY KIDS FALL ASLEEP LISTENING TO A CD. – G.B.

Officially, my kids have a bedtime. Throughout the year, I even stick to it. Summertime is a whole new story. I own a bottle of melatonin that I bought years ago and tried once. It had the opposite effect on my child and kept him up for hours. I obviously don’t use it anymore, though I never trashed it, because you never know…

My greatest bedtime challenge is trying to be patient with my daughter when she’s ready for bed before bedtime and wants to schmooze with her mother. At that point, I’m not up for spending quality time with anyone, let alone a needy five-yearold. – F.S.

Baruch Hashem, I don’t have to give melatonin anymore. Since I signed up with Little Haven, bedtime has become a breeze. My kids know to expect bedtime and actually look forward to it. – Esther R.

In the summer, I see no reason to be strict with bedtime. During the school year, I’m forever setting new bedtimes with the firm belief that I will stick with it this time, but then life happens. I don’t like using melatonin unless absolutely necessary. Obviously, my greatest bedtime challenge is being consistent. – A Reader

Of course my children have a set bedtime! It’s 6:59 p.m.! And 7:01 p.m. is late! I don’t give melatonin, ever. Hashem provides us with the hormone naturally. Why get kids used to the synthetic version? The most annoying part of bedtime is when my children call me to their beds multiple times… “Mommy!” and when I get there, they’re still thinking about what they want to tell me. – Chavala

BEDTIMES WERE A GIVEN WHEN MY KIDS WERE GROWING UP. WE STUCK AS CLOSE TO THE MANDATED BEDTIME AS POSSIBLE. THEN BEGAN THE NIGHTLY RITUAL OF SHENANIGANS: A DRINK, ONE MORE STORY, A TUCK-IN, FORGETTING TO KISS THE MEZUZAH, A SIBLING ALTERCATION, AN URGE TO DO HOMEWORK, HUNGER PANGS, “THERE’S A SCARY NOISE,” FORGETTING TO BRING NEGEL VASSER (WHOSE TURN WAS IT ANYWAY?), THE LIGHT NEEDS TO STAY ON (OR OFF, DEPENDING ON THE CHILD), OR THE COVERS GOT BUNCHED UP. BUT MY GENERATION DID NOT MEDICATE. MOST PARENTS HAD NEVER HEARD OF PLYING THEIR KIDS WITH MELATONIN OR BENADRYL, EVEN WHEN IT CAME TO THOSE ENFORCED EREV PESACH NAPS. IF THE CHILD REFUSED TO NAP, THEY INVARIABLY FELL ASLEEP MIDSEDER, AND THAT WAS THAT. –R.S.

Way back when our bungalow colony was fortunate to have a medical doctor on grounds. His way of thinking was quite outof-the-box: He and his wife did not believe in putting children to sleep. Kids will go to sleep when they feel tired, they said. Apparently, it worked, because his children were as well rested as the rest of the children in the colony, whose mothers spent hours trying to get them into bed.

As for melatonin, I, for one, discourage my children and grandchildren from giving it to the kids because one known side effect of melatonin is nightmares.

P.S. The beloved, well-known pediatrician, the late Dr. Schmierer, a”h, (a fixture in Boro Park of yore) used to tell the mothers that children should go to bed earlier during the summer because they expend so much energy running around all day. Try telling that to today’s kids… – A Grandmother Who Still Goes to Sleep Late

I’m always struggling with my kids’ bedtimes. No matter which method I try, I always end up giving melatonin to my kids about once a week — when I feel like they absolutely must go to sleep — and then I feel bad about it. So far, no solution. – A Tired Reader

I once gave melatonin to my two little boys on a night flight, and it had the opposite effect; it made them hyperactive. Never again. – A Reader

My kids have a pretty flexible bedtime, which changes by the day, season or mommy’s mood. I fly as often as three to four times a year with my family, and freely use melatonin (just a drop or two) to help my kids combat jet lag when we return home. I also use it in other situations, as necessary, like after a Yom Tov.

One challenging part of putting my kids to sleep is when the earliest bedtime runs late, and then all the kids, from youngest to oldest, feel like their bedtimes should be postponed as well, because they don’t want to go to sleep at the same time as a younger sibling.

My greatest challenge with bedtime is getting my kids to do bedtime prep themselves. It’s too easy to put pajamas on the kids who are fully capable of doing it themselves, but it’s often annoying to wait for them to actually do it. It’s also too easy to skip asking them to clean up the toys, put their laundry in the hamper, prepare their negel vasser or brush their teeth. I hope that by the time they’ll be in shidduchim, they’ll have figured it all out.

PARSHAS RE’EH

To Remain in Learning

Y. Levenstein

The parsha begins with Moshe Rabbeinu telling Klal Yisroel, “ Re’eh — See, I place before you today a bracha and a klalah,” ( Devarim 11:27).

He says, “ Es habracha asher tishma’u” — the bracha that you will heed the mitzvos of Hashem, and continues, “ v’haklalah im lo tishma’u” — and the curse, if you will not listen to the mitzvos.

The pesukim use different verbiage for the blessing and curse. The klalah is expressed in conditional terms — “if” you will not listen to the Torah. Regarding the bracha, it is not conditional, but rather a statement — “that” you will listen. Why the difference?

YAKOV MOSHE SHURKIN, or Yankel, as he was known, was among the top bachurim in Radin. As a young boy, he was orphaned of both his parents, and when he grew old enough to join the yeshivah, he felt as if he had finally found a new home. His older brother, Meir, had been exiled to Siberia after being caught teaching Torah in communist Russia. His sisters had sadly strayed from the path of Torah. When Yankel once wrote to them, begging them to keep strong in following the Torah and mitzvos, he received a letter in response: “Please don’t write to us again! We suffer enough from the communists for having a brother in yeshivah.”

So the yeshivah bachurim became his family. Several years passed. His friends grew older and began leaving yeshivah, one by one, to build homes of their own.

But Yankel did not find his zivug easily. Many girls of the generation were caught up in the Haskalah movement, which ridiculed the bnei yeshivah, so it was hard to find decent prospects. Also, Yankel had no parents to arrange his shidduch. Eventually, Yankel was the only boy his age still unmarried. It was just Yankel, his Gemara and his shtender.

From time to time, loneliness, pain and anxiety would overwhelm him, and at one point, Yankel decided he just had to speak with the Chofetz Chaim. Perhaps a bracha would help.

But for a reserved boy like Yankel, this idea was easier said than done. There were always people around the Chofetz Chaim, and Yankel was embarrassed to speak about his personal matters in front of others. He tried to think of a time when the Chofetz Chaim’s home would be empty so he could talk to the great sage privately.

On Erev Yom Kippur, Yankel decided the time was ripe. Just moments before the Yom Hadin, as the Chofetz Chaim prepared for the seudas hamafsekes, there would certainly be no visitors in his home.

Yankel trembled as he entered. He met a yungerman, an alumni of the yeshivah, who hadn’t yet been blessed with children and had come for a bracha as well. Standing in the gadol’s home at these auspicious moments, Yankel found it difficult to open his mouth. The yungerman decided to speak up on his behalf and told the Chofetz Chaim about the orphaned masmid who had yet to find his shidduch. In these elevated moments, a bracha would certainly be powerful.

The Chofetz Chaim listened and replied, “The Eibishter should help, you should remain in learning!”

Yankel and the yungerman exchanged looks. That wasn’t the bracha they’d had in mind. Perhaps the Chofetz Chaim hadn’t

From time to time, loneliness, pain and anxiety would overwhelm him, and Yankel decided he just had to speak with the Chofetz Chaim

“The bachur needs a shidduch!” the yungerman called out

heard properly? The Chofetz Chaim was no youngster, and his hearing was not perfect.

“The bachur needs a shidduch!” the yungerman called out. The Chofetz Chaim repeated his bracha — that Yankel should remain in learning.

They both wished the Chofetz Chaim, “A gut yahr,” and left.

Yankel was pained. He understood that the gadol recognized that all was lost, chas v’shalom, and the thought frightened him. He returned to the beis midrash and waited for Kol Nidrei, confused and broken.

Suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder. “What’s the matter, Yankel?”

He turned around and saw the gaon, Rav Elchanan Wasserman, one of the Chofetz Chaim’s prize talmidim. Yankel knew Rav Elchanan well from his annual visits to Radin for the Yamim Noraim. One year, he had even shared his room for the entire month of Elul with Rav Elchanan.

In his turmoil, Yankel found himself pouring out his heart.

Rav Elchanan listened empathetically and then said, “Oy! Why don’t you understand? Is it possible to remain in learning without a shidduch? Is it possible to learn calmly without the menuchas hanefesh that having family brings? With this bracha, you became the luckiest man in the world! The Chofetz Chaim wished you everything! You are so blessed!”

A stone rolled off Yankel’s heart. The Chofetz Chaim had recognized that Yankel’s only yearning was to learn Torah without disturbance, and thus, during those elevated moments, he blessed him warmly that he be given the tools and means to remain in the beis midrash. Between the lines were included a bracha for a zivug, parnassah, shalom bayis, children, and good health — all of which are included in the ability to succeed in limud Torah with serenity.

Indeed, in a short time, Yankel merited building a home of his own, and the Chofetz Chaim’s bracha came to fruition in its entirety.

* * * * *

As Yidden, we should strive only for ruchnius, for the ability to keep the Torah and mitzvos. Yet in order to be able to accomplish that, we require the material conditions to be ripe.

The Ba’al Haflah explains in his sefer Panim Yafos:

In regard to the klalah, the pasuk says, “If you will not listen,” using a conditional expression, because it is given in retribution for having sinned.

But regarding the bracha, the Torah says, “The bracha that you will heed to the mitzvos,” since the bracha is not granted as reward for performing the mitzvos. We know that “sechar mitzvah b’hai alma leka.” We aren’t rewarded for doing mitzvos in this world; our reward awaits us in Olam Haba. This bracha is given to the person even before he does the mitzvos, so he should have the tools with which to accomplish the mitzvos calmly, tranquilly and without disturbance.

Klal Yisroel Shines After Baltimore Boy Goes Missing in Arizona Forest

Multiple organizations leapt into action last week after word surfaced that a Baltimore boy disappeared while visiting an underground cave in Arizona with his family. Volunteers traveled through the night to be part of what ultimately became a successful rescue mission.

Eight-year-old Tzion Maron of Baltimore somehow got separated from his family on August 21 as they were leaving Lava River Cave, located northwest of Flagstaff in the Coconino National Forest. The Marons reached out to local officials, but as

the hours passed with no success, they contacted Chaverim of Rockland and asked for their assistance.

Chaverim coordinator Yossi Margaretten wasted no time, calling Hatzolah Air’s Eli Rowe to find out if he would be willing to fly a Chaverim team out to Arizona. Rowe agreed without a moment’s hesitation, and by 3 a.m. he had a Hatzolah Air plane ready to take off from Sullivan County Airport, with fourteen Chaverim members aboard.

Having been hampered in their overnight search by rainy weather, members of the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office were grateful for the extra manpower. Volunteers from Hatzolah of Los Angeles drove seven hours to reach the site, bringing along a mobile command center that was used in the search. Also joining the group attempting to locate Maron were Chaverim members from Los Angeles and Phoenix, located approximately three hours away.

After Margaretten reminded his teams that they were there to do their hishtadlus and that the Ribono Shel Olam would do the rest, the volunteers spread out in the forest, screaming the boy’s name in the hopes that he would hear them. Even as the search progressed, Klal Yisroel did its part, daven-

ing for Tzion ben Chaya Rivka, with a group of Chaverim members among those who flocked to the Ribnitzer Rebbe’s tzion to be mispallel for Maron’s safe return.

Just over an hour and a half after setting out, searchers heard Maron responding to their shouts, and volunteers found him weak and lying on the ground, but otherwise in good health. The boy was actually just over a half mile away from the cave entrance, and he told rescuers that he had thought he was following his father out of the cave when he ended up missing a turn and getting separated from his family.

While it was members of Chaverim of Rockland who actually located Maron, Margaretten was quick to credit the many people involved in the search.

“Our members did an awesome job, as did Eli Rowe, who with a single phone call arranged an expensive trip, picking up a plane and letting us take it over, and Hatzolah of Los Angeles, who drove seven hours and brought a command center,” said Margaretten. “Baruch Hashem, we are grateful to have found him so quickly and gotten him back to his family.”

The Arizona search was the second major rescue effort for Chaverim last week, with volunteers going out to find two Brooklyn brothers who got lost hiking the Catskills’ highest

peak on August 19. After receiving a brief call from her sons before their cell phone service dropped, saying that they were lost on Ulster County’s Slide Mountain, the mother of the teenage hikers called Chaverim and reported them missing at 8 p.m.

Dozens of Chaverim volunteers, including members of its elite Search and Rescue team, made the 100-mile trip from Monsey to Slide Mountain. The first good news came a few hours later when the car that the brothers had used was discovered, giving the volunteers a better idea of which trails the two might have taken.

Chaverim’s Starlink internet satellite network kept volunteers connected as they scoured the mountain, also allowing the command center to keep track of their whereabouts.

Catskills Hatzalah, Matzil Search & Rescue, and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation all joined Chaverim in the search, which also utilized drones. Teams worked all through the night, with the brothers located in good health at approximately 9 a.m. the next morning.

Chaverim Strikes Gold, Recovering Four Lost Rings in Separate Incidents

Chaverim volunteers proved their mettle twice within a one-week period, spending hours hunting for valuable rings that had accidentally gone missing.

The first incident took place on Motzei Shabbos Chazon when Chaverim of Rockland was called to The Sleepy Hollow Hotel in Tarrytown to help a guest find two rings that had been accidentally discarded over the weekend. Volunteers spent three hours climbing into dumpsters and meticulously combing through black garbage bags until they found the missing items – a diamond eternity band and a gemstone and diamond ring that were valued at a total of $20,000.

The second incident took place just a few days later at Hunters Point South Park in Long Island City, Queens. According to reports, a husband and wife were visiting the park, and the woman removed her rings and placed

them on her lap so that she could wash her hands. At some point later, she stood up and didn’t realize that her rings had fallen to the ground, landing somewhere in the grass.

When the woman noticed that her rings were missing, she called Chaverim. Over two dozen volunteers from Boro Park, Catskills, Flatbush, Queens and Williamsburg flocked to the park, setting up lights for the intense search. While some of the Chaverim members walked through the area hoping that metal detectors would lead them to the missing items, most participated in grid searches, crawling on the ground with flashlights and lanterns as they ran their fingers through the grass hoping to hit paydirt.

The late night operation lasted for five hours, with volunteers finally finding the woman’s engagement ring and wedding band and returning them to her safely.

Crowdfunding Campaign Created for Bed-Stuy Goldfish

The carnival goldfish that your kids bring home from camp might not live more than a day or two, but the tiny orange fish that have been swimming around a Bedford-Stuyvestant fire hydrant for the past few weeks appear to be thriving, with a crowdfunding page launched to keep their watery habitat going.

As previously reported in The Boro Park View, two local residents used a fire hydrant to fill the base of a tree well with water, dumping 100 fish into their makeshift pond. The beautification project went viral, with people flocking to enjoy the unusual aquarium, although activists appear not to share their enthusiasm.

The puddle that has become home for the pet store swimmers has been cleared of at least some of its existing dirt and debris, with visitors bringing fake plants, plastic frogs, colored gravel and seashells to liven up their surroundings.

A GoFundMe page for what is being termed the “fire hydrant fish” was launched on August 9. Its purpose was to col-

lect money for food and a $5,000 outside ventilation system so that the fish can survive as the weather gets cooler, with an ultimate goal of giving the community an opportunity “to enjoy the beauty of nature.” In the first eleven days after its August 9 launch, the fundraiser raised over $2,700 from 111 donors.

Hatzalah Ekes Out Win in Annual Baseball Matchup

The boys of summer were at it again, with members of Flatbush Hatzalah facing off against a team from the NYPD’s Boro Park precinct in a nail-biter of a game that was a tribute to communal collaboration.

Families of Boro Park Shomrim members and 66th Precinct officers were invited to watch the August 21 game, the unseasonably cool summer weather making the game enjoyable for both players and spectators. Hatzalah pulled out a win with a ninth inning walk-off hit, taking the game by a score of 7 to 6.

“Great game between Hatzalah and NYPD!” posted David Merlin. “Both teams showed incredible skill and sportsmanship. It’s amazing how they come together for such an exciting event.”

The Hatzalah win came just one month after Flatbush Hatzalah trumped an NYPD team with an 11 to 2 win.

The baseball matchups between the NYPD and Hatzalah have been going on for well over ten years, bridging communal differences by bringing Brooklyn residents together and fostering better relationships.

Chapter 8

Recap: Rachel sees the Nazis killing Russian soldiers, and Motl reports that the Nazis killed 30,000 Jews in two days at Babi Yar.

During the winter months, when it was too cold to venture outside, Maria Roluk did not have much to do. After she would tend to the couple of animals in their barn, she passed the time by knitting, using wool from the fur of some Angora rabbits she kept.

Other than that, there was not much to do but gossip with the other local women. Though not much of a gossip herself, Maria was keen to hear stories about Nazis atrocities. She had seen them mistreat Jews and was well aware that they had rounded them up and locked them in a ghetto. But she was more worried about the stories of what happened to the local non-Jews, especially those who had been accused of

helping and hiding Jews. One family was executed. The SS came in one night and shot them all — children included.

After that, everyone was even more afraid. Mrs. Roluk’s fear eventually subsided a little, but the cold Ukrainian winter was a good excuse to stay home and knit. It was a calming way to pass the time.

* * * * *

The year 1941 faded into 1942. Jewish lives became even cheaper. Ten Ludmir Jews working near the train station were ordered to dig a pit — and then they were buried alive. Every day, Jews were kidnapped

or deported to places like Kiev and never heard from again.

One morning, as Rachel was sitting in the shop with the rest of her family, a truck with a loudspeaker made its way up and down the battered Jewish section. “Tomorrow at 9:00 a.m., all Jews must assemble at the central synagogue. Anyone who fails to do so will face severe consequences. Tomorrow at 9:00 a.m., all Jews must assemble…”

With no other choice, the Jews complied.

At the assembly, a Nazi announced that Jews were to be restricted to a certain area inside Ludmir. In other words, they were setting up a ghetto. Everyone outside that designated

YAAKOV ASTOR

area had to move in. Jews living on farms or houses on the outskirts of town also had to move to the designated area.

In the Judenrat office the next day, Mr. Stitzer made a suggestion to Mr. Blum. “Some are escaping to the forest to join the partisans. Have you considered that?”

“I think the best place is here, certainly as long as you’re on the Judenrat.”

“Don’t fool yourself, Reb Gershon. No one is safe. No one. Why not join those who are fleeing into the forest?”

“I have children. How will they survive? Besides, aren’t we serving the Germans a purpose? Aren’t we their labor force?”

“As long as we serve their needs they will let us live. But who knows how long that will last? No one is safe. Think about joining the partisans.”

“And live in the forest? With my family? Impossible.”

It was a dilemma Jews throughout Europe faced. What could they do? Where could they go? For Jewish families with young children, like the Blums, there was really no choice.

Shortly after Pesach 1942, Mr. Blum and Mr. Stitzer observed workers sinking lumber poles into the ground.

“What are they doing?” Mr. Blum asked.

“It’s the beginning of a fence. They’re marking the ghetto boundaries. Soon we’ll be locked in.”

By May 1942, the barbed wire fence was completed.

If a plane flew over Ludmir, it would see the town divided into three parts: an undamaged non-Jewish section between the two Jewish ghettos, each surrounded by barbed wire fences.

The non-Jewish section was distinguished by a magnificent undamaged Parliament building, which was occupied by the Germans, a serene park, and a beautiful, relatively new three-story school, with Nazis flags outside. This was Nazi headquarters.

The Jewish section consisted of Ludmir’s two ghettos: a large one and

a small one. The small one, which was a residential neighborhood before the war, was crammed with Jews. Its houses were mostly wooden and only one story high, though a few were brick and two stories high.

Although most Jews resided in this smaller section, the Blum’s storefront was in the larger section. There were other stores along the street, but there were no active businesses and relatively few people.

* * * * *

One day, Rachel watched Mr. Stitzer wander erratically up and down the street. He looked very disoriented. Motl also noticed him pacing back and forth.

Motl called to the back room, “Tatte, come.”

“What?”

Motl pointed to Mr. Stitzer pacing back and forth outside. He opened the front door and walked up to Stitzer, who looked very pale.

“A decree,” Stitzer said.

“A decree?”

“That’s what they said. From Berlin.”

“Explain.”

“Seven hundred people, Reb Gershon. Seven hundred!”

“What are you talking about?”

“That’s what they said. It’s a decree.”

“A decree for what?”

“We must hand over seven hundred… seven hundred people. The elderly and the children.”

“For what purpose?”

His hands trembling, his voice shaking, Stitzer finally blurted out, “For extermination. It’s a decree. From Berlin.”

Mr. Blum put his hands over his mouth.

“They say there is no averting it,” Stitzer added.

“G-tt in himmel!”

“I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what to do. How can we give them a list?”

“What about a bribe?”

“We’ve been collecting gold, watches and other valuables from the Jews and giving them to the Germans as gifts since the beginning. Even if we could find more and even if it helped to delay them a little — it would only postpone the inevitable.” He grabbed Mr. Blum firmly by his shirt collar. “Don’t you get it? They won’t stop at these seven hundred. Next time it will be seven thousand. And after that — everyone.”

“G-tt in himmel!”

“Do you know,” Stitzer added, “that earlier this month they conscripted one hundred Jews to dig three large pits about six miles from here, in Piyatidin?”

“I heard about it. It’s under the direction of the engineer Schwartzbort. But the pits are for an underground storage bunker and some sort of airplane hangar.”

“Reb Gershon, now they have asked us to send them 1,000 Jews to dig three pits. Huge pits… It’s not for storage.”

“Then what are they for?”

“For the Jews of Ludmir.”

“I don’t understand.”

The support is amazing. No question is too small to ask and be answered. Whether it was technical or design questions.

From the beginning until helping me find jobs the support is truly exceptional. I really appreciate all the time the whole Bold Edge team took to assist me and make sure I had the best experience. Chaya L, GD Masterclass

“Many of us are preparing hiding places.”

“For a long time, I’ve had an idea for one, but I need wood, a lot of wood.”

“If wood is all you need, I can get you wood. Just tell me what you need.”

The next day, four wagons of lumber pulled up in front of the Blums’ storefront.

“What’s it for?” a passerby asked Mr. Blum.

“Furniture. We need a table and some beds.”

In fact, the plan was to create a false ceiling in the back room. In almost miraculously quick fashion, the Blums built the hideout. Without ladders or even nails, they somehow finished the job in a day.

The problem was that it was obvious when one entered the room that the ceiling was new. So Mr. Blum collected some newspapers, twigs and other flammable items, and started a fire inside the room, which quickly filled with smoke. After a while, he put out the fire. Now the ceiling looked old, as if it had been there for years.

The hiding place would save their lives.

The school hallway smells like sharpened pencils and new briefcases, and the anticipation is crackling in the air.

No stale chips sit at the bottom of the backpack; no creased tests are squished underneath. Everything is as perfect as it could possibly be. It’s a big day. It’s an important day. It’s the first day of school.

What’s it like for everyone involved?

How do principals, teachers and students prepare for this momentous day?

FIRST OF ALL

A school principal, teacher and student reflect on first-day-of-school flurries

A Principal Shares

MRS. GITTY COHEN*

As the principal of a local elementary school, I spend most of the year preparing for the next school year. I have a commitment to my students, their parents, my staff — and, of course, to myself — and I take that very seriously. My colleagues and I are constantly doing, reflecting, revising and then some. We network, we learn, we grow and renew the unwritten yet unyielding commitment we have to those in our care.

I like to compare my job to the task of building a community. There are so many facets to focus on. There’s the general picture of helping parents raise healthy children, who will grow into healthy productive adults, b’ezras Hashem. There’s the overall culture and vibe of the school. For each grade level, there are academic goals, social-emotional goals and individual student profiles to examine. There are teachers to train and support, and there are parents to reach out to and partner with in various situations. There are technicalities to work on and figure out, and there are finances to take into account — as well as a

board to report to and consult with. Considering all of these responsibilities, it would be impossible to accomplish even a fraction of it in the ten weeks of summer vacation.

July has me meeting with my new and old teachers. I review the curriculum, academic goals and try to get to know my newer staff members better. I like to understand how they work best, what their preferences are, which subjects they might find challenging, and strengths they can tap into and use in the classroom. Whenever possible, I try to have the teachers teach the content they like best. If a teacher loves language arts, I will definitely give her the writing, literature and grammar curriculum, if possible. If they like their subject and they’re excited about what they are teaching, the students will automatically be excited about it as well. Of course, I can’t do this across the board for everyone all the time, but there’s always something the teacher likes best and with which we can hopefully start the year off. I get to know each newly hired teacher, and then work on finding a mentor who will work best with her. In order for the mentorship to be successful, their personalities have to work well together. It has to be a good fit for all involved. I also make sure that the mentor appreciates my school’s culture and knows what the school’s values are. In addition to mentorship, I suggest educational workshops that I think the teacher will benefit from.

Some years, by July, I have all teachers hired, and other years, I still need to hire more.

Next up: creating a schedule for the entire school. This project takes enormous amounts of patience and time. First I assign time slots for specific subjects. I then pair each class with a resource room teacher that is available in that time slot. I also consider many students’ needs and personal schedules; for example, we won’t schedule a core subject during a child’s OT slot or therapy slot. I factor in private tutoring arrangements that some children have as well.

Spending time on each student’s and classroom’s needs enables me to accomplish my goal of reaching each student.

tend as many workshops and courses that I can possibly fit into my schedule. I find that these lectures and workshops keep me grounded, focused and inspired. I also gain many practical ideas to implement. Additionally, these events help me form a beautiful supportive network of like-minded individuals in similar positions. Being in a position of leadership is often a lonely place to be, and my network helps me get through some really tough and sticky situations.

Then comes August. August always has me dealing with serious migraines. There is so much I still need to accomplish, and time is of essence. I use August to prepare myself and my staff for the grand opening.

My scheduling spreadsheet is like a jigsaw puzzle; it involves so many aspects and individuals. When it’s done, it’s a masterpiece worthy of framing.

I also reach out to many parents throughout the summer. Parents are the biggest assets schools have; we’re equal partners in the “business.” Thus, the school staff cannot be successful without the parent body being fully on board. I meet with many parents and hear their concerns, thoughts and hopes, and I speak to dozens more over the phone. There are recommendations to make, issues to clear up and requests to be heard. Prior to each phone call, I organize my thoughts. I like to focus on the specific goal of the phone call. I have to make sure that the parent feels heard, validated and respected. Often, I need to make more than one call to accomplish my goal. Every phone call is documented so that I can make the appropriate follow-up phone calls.

So yes, July is heavy. That’s why, in July, I find myself deep in my nosh closet. I make sure to keep it stocked with salted sunflower seeds, licorice nibs and jelly beans. I’m human too, and stress does build up!

I also try to utilize my summer to at-

I try to squeeze in some good reads for myself. I have a pile of books on classroom culture, behavioral challenges and leadership. I plan an extracurricular theme for my teachers for the year, which helps me set a certain professional yet warm vibe. I send inspirational articles to my staff and try to be available to help them. I want them to start the year refreshed, inspired, excited and supported. I work on my teachers’ opening meeting. I want my teachers to look forward to the school meeting, so I try to prepare something uplifting and perhaps fun as well. It gives me great pleasure when my teachers become a cohesive group who enjoy the company of one another. I want them to look forward to each day of teaching.

The migraines are real, and they’re there every morning. It’s not because I don’t think I have enough time to complete the task in front of me, or that I feel it’s something I cannot accomplish. Rather, it’s because I know what task lies before me. If building wholesome, connected children is my goal, I know how much it will take for me to accomplish that. It’s not about the endless technicalities, or the glitz and glamor of our grand opening. It’s about building children. Each additional year that I am employed as principal, I become even more acutely aware of just how mammoth this task is.

I know my responsibility to each of the children in my care. I turn to Hashem, for it’s He who has given me this position, and my students are His children. I ask Him to help me reach each one of them. This includes my students, teachers and other staff members. I ask Him to guide me, direct me and support me. For this is a task that is far greater than anything I can do myself. Finally, with His support, I know this will be a great year!

MY SCHEDULING SPREADSHEET IS LIKE A JIGSAW PUZZLE; IT INVOLVES SO MANY ASPECTS AND INDIVIDUALS. WHEN IT’S DONE, IT’S A MASTERPIECE WORTHY OF FRAMING

When I walk into the classroom on the first day of school, I look at every student, and I know that behind each of their eager faces is a home and a mother who is davening for her child’s success. I keenly feel each mother’s hope that her child will have a teacher who will understand her, connect with her, help her thrive and develop her strengths, all while carefully guiding her in the areas requiring improvement.

I realize that every single one of them wants to feel loved, cherished and successful. They’re all looking forward to a great year.

I’m excited to get to know each student. I wish they’d realize how precious they all are, regardless of how well they do academically. They are inherently good just by being a part of our Chosen Nation, daughters of Hashem.

I’M EXCITED TO GET TO KNOW EACH STUDENT. I WISH THEY’D REALIZE HOW PRECIOUS THEY ALL ARE, REGARDLESS OF HOW WELL THEY DO ACADEMICALLY

Many young teachers believe in being extra strict on the first day of school; perhaps they want to intimidate their students in order to ensure full classroom control. I disagree with this approach. I want my students to feel that I’m there for them, and I want them to be excited to come back to class the next day. This is not a contradiction to being firm and consistent.

When a student acts up in class, I don’t take it personally. Testing boundaries is a normal part of childhood development, and I need to be the adult in the room and not try to get

even with the student. Again, I think of my children and how I would want their teacher or rebbi to treat them when they’re acting like a child — which they are!

To help myself feel that sense of renewal on the first day of school, I get my sheitel washed and set and get myself something new to wear. I also declutter and clean my bag.

When I daven each morning, I ask Hashem for siyata d’Shmaya in helping each of my students learn well, and that I get to see the neshamah in each one of them. To help me succeed, here’s a secret project I do each year: On the first day of school, I look around the classroom and find one student, that student, the one who is less socially inclined, less put together, less brilliant or less appealing in some way. In other words, a girl who I would perhaps have a harder time naturally loving. Throughout the year, I work on getting to love her so much that nobody would ever believe it if I shared the feelings I had about her on the first day of school.

How was she so calm?

Kallahs and Machatenestas can approach their Wedding Day relaxed, present, and ready to make the most of this once-in-a-life time opportunity.

Tomorrow is the first day of school, and I can smell it in the air. A crisp pleated uniform skirt hangs on the doorknob. My school bag is prepped with all the required supplies, and my alarm is set for the only day of the school year that I will jump out of bed without hitting snooze. And it’s not because I’m going to be all rested; I’ll likely be spending the night tossing and turning.

In a week, the novelty will be lost, I know. Going to school will become a tedious part of routine. But for now, the air tingles with newness and anticipation, perhaps like my so-farscuff-free shoes — yes, shoes. School shoes are that once-a-year thing that still excites everyone, from first-graders through the seniors. So much depends on getting it right. Finding a pair that’s comfortable, trendy, conforms to school rules and is durable to boot is nearly impossible. And, obviously, I would never

want to get the same pair as anyone else, so originality is another concern. But I think I’ve nailed it this year. Tomorrow, I’ll know for sure.

Along with the fashion dilemmas are endless rumors circulating among my friends.

“I heard Mrs. Levy isn’t coming back this year.”

“No way! They say she’s the best teacher ever, and that no one teaches Navi the way she does!”

“I wonder if Mrs. Weiss will tell the story about the garden in her parsha introduction. My sisters told me that she repeats it every year on the first day of school.”

“Did you notice that we have a new grammar teacher? I think she gave a model lesson last year.”

But the facts are anyone’s guess. Pens, whiteout, and a doodling notebook with lots of empty pages are the well-known tricks to an amazing year. And if you have brightly-colored gel pens in your pencil case, then you really are set to succeed. Post-it notes in every shape and size are helpful, too, especially when it also serves as the preferred mode of communication between friends…

The school year is about to begin. I’m nervous, and it’s not just about

academics. I hope the teachers will like me. I hope their lessons will inspire me. I hope I will learn, internalize important lessons, and change this year. Looking back, I’ve grown so much last year, and I hope to continue growing. I pray that my friends should grow along with me and shouldn’t drag me down. And if I make a new friend or two, it would be nice. I also hope I get better at handling challenges that come my way — and I hope there won’t be too many.

There are new teachers, new chances. I love the first day, the freshness of it all. My neat looseleafs and cute spirals — located in the local dollar store after an agonizingly long search — are waiting to be used. Teachers will be coming into class for the very first time, heralding first-day speeches and introductory stories. Soon the learning will start for real, and the homework, quizzes and tests will ensure that camp fades to a distant, pleasant memory.

But now, it’s just apprehensive anticipation. There are loads of opportunities ahead, and I can’t help but wonder: What will this year turn out to be? Only time will tell. With a tefillah on my lips and a cute new bag slung over my shoulder, I’ll stand straight and give it my all.

THE SCHOOL YEAR IS ABOUT TO BEGIN. I’M NERVOUS, AND IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT ACADEMICS. I HOPE THE TEACHERS WILL LIKE ME. I HOPE THEIR LESSONS WILL INSPIRE ME

HADASSAH STEINMAN

It’s back-to-school season, with all of the excitement, anticipation and expenses that come up at this time of year.

In this candid conversation, Mr. Friedman*, the administrator of a cheder in Monsey, shares his perspective — debunks some common myths.

FIRST, WHAT EXACTLY DOES AN ADMINISTRATOR DO?

“An administrator is hired to make sure the cheder runs smoothly,” Mr. Friedman says. “In some cases, a vaad or board runs the cheder, and the administrator is something like an office manager. In other cases, there’s an administrator carrying the responsibility, with support from the vaad when necessary. In my case, it’s the second configuration.”

Mr. Friedman explains that the title of administrator doesn’t come with a clear set of responsibilities and duties, because it means something different every day. Put simply, he must juggle the needs of the parent body, the requests of the staff, and the limitations of the budget — all at the same time. This means both creating systems that work, and troubleshooting as needed.

“In the early days, I’d say I spent 80% of my time troubleshooting,” Mr. Friedman says. “Now, with much

siyata d’Shmaya, it’s probably down to 20%.”

What are three concerns that take up most of Mr. Friedman’s time?

“The first is the financial aspect of running a cheder, which means making sure we can actually pay the rent, pay the melamdim, and comply with government regulations so we can get the little funding we’re eligible for. The second is the emotional aspect, which generally means speaking to parents and giving them the opportunity to be heard, and dealing with whatever issues crop up on a daily basis. The third is transportation, which is a tremendous undertaking, and quite frankly, a huge headache.”

In order to keep things running smoothly, Mr. Friedman meets with the menahelim, secretaries and managers once a week to review and resolve problems.

MYTH DEBUNKED

WITH ALL THE FUNDING RAINING DOWN FROM THE GOVERNMENT, MOSDOS ARE LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK.

“Many mosdos,” Mr. Friedman begins, “make it clear when hiring administrators that fundraising won’t be one of their responsibilities — but guess what happens when payday comes around and there’s a shortfall? It lands in the administrator’s lap, just like everything else.”

“The budget” is a big, black hole that no fundraising or s’char limud will ever manage to fill.

“The budget doesn’t add up,” Mr. Friedman says. “Ever. Especially when it comes to families

That means that while a cheder will benefit from the funding by receiving whatever item it is that is being funded — whether it’s food, books or decor for a resource room — they cannot use the funds to pay the mortgage, for instance.

“Don’t forget that hiring the secretary to make sure that we’re compliant also costs money,” Mr. Friedman adds.

Funding for security is the same. Yes, money comes in, but it goes straight to cameras and lock

with a few kids — which is true for most families in any mosad — it’s impossible to ask the tuition that will actually cover what the budget needs. So the best we can do is try to get the most from every parent that is fair to ask, and to fundraise the balance.”

And there’s always a balance. No mosad will end up with extra funds and laugh all the way to the bank.

But what about government funding? Where is all that money?

“In the good old days, at least in Rockland Country,” Mr. Friedman says, “government funding could be spent at the school’s discretion. Today, every dollar comes with a specific destination.”

systems, which doesn’t offset the overall budget in the least.

In general, funding is dispensed according to the amount of public school students in the district. Rockland County, for instance, has very low school funding due to the minimal number of public school students living in the district (roughly 9,800 public to 32,200 private). This is the reason for the negligible amount of funds that comes to Rockland’s schools.

In Brooklyn, the story is significantly different because there are almost one million public school students in NYC, which means there is way more school funding to go around. This benefits private schools as well.

MYTH DEBUNKED

THE ONLY THING THE ADMINISTRATOR OF MY SON’S CHEDER WANTS IS MY MONEY.

“I’d love for people to understand that no one gets rich by working for a mosad,” Mr. Friedman says. “Any administrator who carries the burden of running a cheder has the skills to land a good job in the corporate world. But we have a passion for chinuch, and that’s why we do what we do. We’re not getting rich doing it, and we’re not out to get you — not when we collect s’char limud, and not when we partner with you to be mechanech your child.”

Today, the attitude on the street is different from what it used to be. Back in the day, cheder administrators were perceived as bogeymen who were

to do what is best for their child.

“If you work along with your child’s school or cheder, you’ll get more for your money, and b’ezras Hashem, you’ll get your kids to reach their full potential. If you’re always head to head with your child’s cheder, you’re delivering a watered-down chinuch. Why would you want to do that?”

As an example, Mr. Friedman tells the story of a young boy who was unkind to a non-Jewish employee in the manner of little boys who need to be taught to behave. The father of the boy didn’t blame the cheder for the encounter; instead, he made his

looking out to “catch” parents earning money, or using devices they shouldn’t have been using, or failing to immunize children. Nowadays, people are more aware that a mosad’s staff is doing their very best to serve them and their children, and there’s more appreciation and less intimidation all around.

Whether it comes to both money matters and chinuch, Mr. Friedman cannot underscore the importance of parents working along with the mosad

son type up an apology letter (in a foreign language, to boot), and then handed the employee the letter along with a tip and a Danish. This child, who was more than difficult when young, grew up to be a successful young adult, and the non-Jewish employee remembers him fondly.

Mr. Friedman is clear on the matter. “Compare this child today with kids who had less significant issues but more resistant parents, and you’ll see the difference.”

MYTH DEBUNKED

THE CHEDER’S PHONE NUMBER EXISTS IN ORDER TO ACCEPT COMPLAINTS.

“By entrusting an establishment with their precious children, parents expect 150% from us in every area,” Mr. Friedman says. “This sometimes translates into a laundry list of complaints when they feel that one thing or another is not exactly as they would have liked it to be.”

This includes lunch, transportation, the schedule, the curriculum, the trips, and whatever else

complaints first going to my secretaries,” Mr. Friedman says. “This means that 50% of the complaints, which are simple to deal with, get diverted elsewhere, with only the more serious concerns coming to me. This makes my workload manageable.”

Sadly, it isn’t surprising to hear that very few people call in to report something positive. Since

falls under the cheder’s purview. Of course, all of these complaints land on Mr. Friedman’s desk. According to what parents know of the system, the administrator is the one handling the money. Therefore, the assumption is that he’s the man with the authority to resolve all kinds of problems.

“I try to follow a business model by having

expectations are so high, people take for granted when things are satisfactory and don’t share positive feedback.

“Put it this way,” Mr. Friedman says. “You’ve never gone to the customer service desk in your local supermarket to report something positive, have you?”

QUICK QUESTION

WHAT IS YOUR BUSIEST SEASON?

“Definitely summer,” Mr. Friedman says. “That’s when we’re busy with registration, new hires, and correcting any issues that presented difficulties the previous year. And since many people are away in the summer, pinning them down can get pretty difficult. We probably work double as hard in the summer.”

So does the cheder staff ever get to go away themselves?

“In November or December, I try to take a break, and I tell my menahelim to take a break then too. Because when summer comes around, they’ll be too busy to get away.”

MYTH DEBUNKED

SOMETHING’S TERRIBLY

WRONG IF A PARENT’S COMPLAINT DOESN’T IMMEDIATELY EFFECT CHANGE.

“A lot of concerns that come up present as a catch-22, because the parents who are complaining or demanding change are the same parents who don’t want to pay the price the changes would cost,” Mr. Friedman explains.

One classic example would be the complaint that a child is on the bus for way too long.

“When a parent hears that putting a new bus

“We tell parents, ‘We know your child is the most important thing in your life, and that’s why you let us know, quite vocally, that you don’t like when his class count reaches the upper twenties. But if that’s the case, then you can’t call us to demand that we accept this family and that family into our mosad, even when we clearly don’t have room!’”

on the road will take roughly $120,000 out of the year’s budget, and that adding buses will mean significantly higher transportation costs per month per child, they retract their complaint. They don’t like that the routes are as lengthy as they are, but they don’t want to shell out the money to pay for shorter routes, either.”

Other times, it’s not money that’s the concern, but the quality of the chinuch experience.

When it comes to speaking with parents, Mr. Friedman adds, a healthy dose of respectful listening and understanding goes a long way. Once they’ve been heard, parents are receptive to the cheder’s perspective.

“Often, all it takes is some validation on our part, and a broader perspective from the parents’ part, to settle the matter. About half of all complaints are resolved this way.”

QUICK QUESTION

WHAT IS YOUR MOST DIFFICULT RESPONSIBILITY?

“While covering the budget is definitely the biggest monster in the room,” Mr. Friedman says, “it’s a monster that will never go away. So I think dealing with people is harder. Dealing with difficult people is even more draining than money issues.”

MYTH DEBUNKED

THE BUS MANAGER SIMPLY DOESN’T CARE.

“The first ten years you have a child in the system,” Mr. Friedman says, “the only things you see firsthand are the arts-and-crafts he brings home, and the bus he was on. Most calls coming in are about transportation. You see your kid coming home hot, tired, cold or late, but that’s all you see! You don’t see what an amazing day he had in cheder, or the warmth and skill of his melamed, or the way he interacted with his classmates.”

Other parents call to complain that they wait for the bus in the cold for ten minutes sometimes, and what are they supposed to do with their toddler or baby? Why can’t the bus be more punctual?

Mr. Friedman admits that this is quite a challenge for mothers, but “what’s it like for you when you cross town?” he asks. “Does it always take the same amount of time to drive through the streets? We really do our best.”

Parents also wonder why there are still transportation costs if the government funds buses. The fact is that transportation is only funded from school age and up, which means preschool students aren’t covered, and there’s no funding for days that aren’t legal school days, either. This

means Sundays, legal holidays, and the entire summer.

“This is where schools differ from chadarim,” Mr. Friedman comments. “Their schedules are a little closer to the legal school calendar.”

Ultimately, the funding this cheder receives for transportation covers approximately half the days that cheder is in session.

The final reason parents call in in terms of transportation is a biggie: bus changes. Any mosad secretary will tell you that rules about bus changes are put in place for a reason — namely, the safety of your child — but parents often have a hard time hearing that.

“Here’s a story that illustrates the point,” Mr. Friedman said. “As per protocol, little kids aren’t let off at home unless there’s an adult waiting outside for them. One mother, who works a few times a week, asked that the child be dropped off on those days at the babysitter’s home. Of course, an inconsistent schedule is in itself a recipe for disaster — what if there’s a different driver one day? Or a snow day, and the schedule changes for the following day? Or any other change in routine? There are so many ways this could go wrong.

However, this mother insisted that we go ahead with this long-term bus change, and also said that since the babysitter would be watching other kids, she wouldn’t be able to take the child off the bus. The boy would have to come inside on his own.

“Of course, we said no way. This was bound to go wrong somehow. However, the mother insisted that there was no choice, and added that she was willing to sign a note saying that she took full responsibility in the event of a mixup.

“After a lengthy back-and-forth, the mother signed that the arrangement was on her achrayus, and against standard procedure — which only allows bus changes to addresses that are already on the route, and only when recorded before a certain time in day — the bus change was put into effect at the very last second.

“A short while later, the child was dropped off — on the wrong street. When the secretary put the change into the system, a very similar address that appears on the route came up, and she selected that address for the bus change by mistake (e.g., Park Lane instead of Park Street).

“As per the mother’s instructions, the boy was dropped off without anyone waiting for him. He wandered around outside until a responsible non-Jewish woman encountered this little boy on the street. She handed him over to a heimishe woman she found nearby, who assured the first woman that she’ll take care of him. A minute later, our office got a phone call that there was a child found wandering on the streets.”

It was a miracle that the story ended this way. Whatever could have gone wrong did, in fact, go wrong, which goes to show why rules are set in place.

“And of course,” Mr. Friedman adds, “who do you think received the blame? Not the mother…”

QUICK QUESTION

WHAT GIVES YOU THE MOST SATISFACTION?

“Every year, when kitah tes ‘graduates,’ so to speak, that gives me tremendous sipuk,” Mr. Friedman says. “It’s when we see that with the help from Hashem, we shepherded an entire class of young boys through their early cheder years. This is especially true when it comes to individual children who needed that extra TLC. When we see that they’re matzliach, it’s such nachas “Also heartwarming,” Mr. Friedman adds, “is the sight of the melamdim room table on Rosh Chodesh. It’s often covered in small pastries, or thank-you notes, or cheesecakes, and it’s wonderful to see that parents take the time and effort to express their gratitude to these devoted melamdim who really give their hearts to these children — more than these parents will ever know.”

WITH HELP FROM ABOVE

Running a cheder is a sacred undertaking. And when bumps in the road are smoothed out with obvious siyata d’Shmaya, it’s both humbling and reassuring. There’s Someone up there taking care of His children.

“One year,” Mr. Friedman relates, “two weeks before cheder was scheduled to begin, one of our melamdim accepted an offer in a different mosad, which would net him more money that he was getting in our cheder. The menahel almost capitulated and said we’ll match that offer — that’s how desperate we were — but I held firm that we couldn’t take such a move. How would this be fair to our other wonderful melamdim? And we’d be setting ourselves up for a bidding war. We let the melamed go, and davened hard the year begin with a melamed in place.

“Within a few days, a father who was due to put his next son into cheder asked if we had a job for him; with the additional expense, he figured it was time to get a job. After some preliminary research, we hired him, and he turned out to be an amazing melamed who did wonders for our cheder.”

Since the cheder doesn’t yet own their own building, the cheder’s location is another area where the staff has seen open siyata d’Shmaya

“Every year we have some story, some unexpected twist of events that shows us that Hashem is truly in charge and doesn’t forget that we need a home for His children. And that’s what this position is all about,” Mr. Friedman concludes. “Taking care of Hashem’s children.”

A handy guide for getting you back to school in tip-top shape

When I was growing up, school shopping was a hallowed ritual. Of course, I didn’t want summer to end. But those fresh notebooks, tantalizingly blank, and a brand-new, neatly organized backpack inspired an anticipation that was hard to deny. Uniform shopping was a little less inspiring. But shoes and accessories were exciting again, and I couldn’t resist setting out my clothes a few days before the first day of school.

As a kid, the fiddly details of the supplies lists and the crushing crowds in the stores were overwhelming to me, but my mother sailed forth like a seasoned warrior, and we always conquered those errands in time for the first day of school.

Now I’m a mother, shocked all over again when I find myself in the uniform store when it’s still absolutely, definitely summer. Even as I weigh the practical implications — let’s do supplies early, before the stores are packed, but wait until the last minute for uniforms, because you’re growing so much — I still wish I had my mother’s unerring confidence about what exactly to buy. Here, The Boro Park View spoke to local vendors to educate you before you hit the stores. From socks to school supplies, here’s how we achieve that uniform look.

BESTSELLER:

Zubii cotton tights. The brand has actually created new sizing for this season to accommodate plus-size kids. This line is called Zubii Plus.

TRENDING: The gum material was and still is a very hot item. In our Monroe location, people still opt for the more practical plain leather option, though. Suede shoes are slowly making a comeback, both for weekday and

A TIP FOR KEEPING SHOES IN GOOD

Keep it in the box in your closet! On a more serious note, never wear shoes when riding a bike or scooter, and always take off your shoes right when you get home. Finally, leather shoes are easily maintained with polish, and suede shoes can be maintained with suede spray.

Uniform Plus
