Dear Yidden, Rachmanim Bnei Rachmanim, So many of our brothers are sitting in the darkness of prison, and their situation has become only harder and more bitter over the last period of time. While COVID restrictions have been eased a while ago in our daily lives, it is only now that the prison system has lifted some of its restrictions. Finally, one can visit their fel low Yidden languishing in prison. With this letter, we are reaching out to those of you who want to be part of this special mitzvah. Please be in touch with Lishmoa Enkas Usir, and we will provide you with visi tor information as well as instructions. The process has be come fairly simple now, baruch Hashem, as the prisons can be visited daily and there’s no advance registration required.
I would like to call upon our local shop owners to provide us, your loyal customers, with an easier yom tov shopping experience.Insupporting your business, we are forfeiting the convenience of flexible return policies. We understand that your overhead is substantial and that inventory becomes stale after yom tov, and that is why we respect your policies. However, the fact that we have such a short time frame for returns pressures us to bring our kids right into the shop ping jungle so we can try on the clothes before purchasing them.Ifyou would be able keep your establishments open until later each evening from now until yom tov, it would allow us to bring the kids shopping without the need to make a mad dash to the store right when the kids come home from day camp or school. This would also give us a larger window of time for same-day returns.

This week’s parsha begins with Moshe Rabbeinu repeating to Klal Yisroel the brachos they will receive if they fulfill the mitzvos, and the curse if they abandon them. “Re’eh anochi nosen lifneichem hayom bracha u’klalah ” (Devarim 11:26).
AFTER REB YONASON EIBISCHUTZ GOT MARRIED, he spent his days learning with his chavrusa in the local shul.
The news that the Yid had been released spread among the kehillah. Everyone was overjoyed — but perplexed. How had the entire sum been raised so quickly? When they learned that Reb Yonason had paid it all upfront, they ran to his door with the sack of money they had already managed to collect. They wanted Reb Yonason to take the communal con tributions as partial repayment. But Reb Yonason refused. “I gave the money with all of my heart. The captive was al ready released. There is no longer a need for the money that was collected,” he said. “That may be true,” argued the gabbai tzedakah. “You al ready gave the entire sum. But in the meantime, we collected what we collected. Why shouldn’t you accept what is coming to you? We all want a part in the mitzvah!”
“How “Threemuch?”thousand golden coins.” A large pidyon shevuyim campaign began. The community members gave as much as they could, but it seemed unlikely they would reach the required sum quickly enough to sneak the Yid out in time. When Reb Yonason heard about it, he realized that time was of essence. He ran home to bring the sack containing his dowry — which totaled the hefty sum of exactly three thousand golden coins. His wife was not home, so he had no chance to even discuss the matter with her. He quickly took the sack and ran to the guard. As promised, the guard un bolted the secret door and let the Yid out.
Interestingly, the pasuk begins in singular — “re’eh ” — and ends in plural – “ lifneichem .” What is the reason for that?
110 www.themonseyview.com 845.600.8484 The Monsey View August 24, 2022
The following morning, the townspeople discovered that Reb Yonason’s chavrusa was missing. No one knew where he’d disappeared to, and they began to search for him.
Together As One PARSHAS RE’EH
“There is a secret door behind the church,” he said. “I can smuggle out this Jew from there… at a price.”
One day, construction began across the street, just opposite the eastern wall of the shul, of what was to be a Christian house of worship. The obvious intention of the wily gentiles was to get in the Yidden’s way. Every time they looked up to the aron kodesh, they would see their large cross out the win dow.The new edifice truly was disturbing to the Yidden in shul. Its bell chimed while they davened and learned, serving as a constant reminder of its presence.
Reb Yonason’s chavrusa was particularly bothered by the new church. One night, he quietly climbed onto its roof, zeal ously smashed the tall cross that stood atop the building, and quickly slid down. Unfortunately, he was caught on his way down and was thrown behind bars in the bowels of the church. The priests ruled that he be burned to death.
The church guard came over privately to one of the wealthy community members and informed him that the Yid was languishing in the church prison, with a death pen alty on his head. He suggested a plan.
“I already gave the entire sum,” Reb Yonason insisted, “and the zechus of the mitzvah is mine. I don’t want to give it away.”Butlater, it dawned on him that he had not yet discussed the matter with his wife. Perhaps she’d be bothered that he
“The mitzvah was thrown back in my face!”
112 www.themonseyview.com 845.600.8484 The Monsey View August 24, 2022
Two days later, the runaway guard was discovered by the priests near a river, where he was drowned on the spot.
“I know everything,” she said before he had a chance to say a word. “And Hakadosh Baruch Hu repaid us in full!” She proceeded to tell him all about the guard’s treasure that now belonged to them. But Reb Yonason did not share her excitement. He burst into tears. “The mitzvah was thrown back in my face! If it would have been accepted on High, my reward would be re served for Olam Haba!”
After being promised bracha for completing the mitz vos, a person may think it is better if he does it all by him self, and receives the full, exclusive reward. Yet the Torah specifically says, “Re’eh — look deeper!” The Torah, and the accompanying bracha, was not given to you alone. It was given “lifneichem” — to all of Klal Yisroel as one. No person could claim exclusive ownership over any mitzvah… for the greatest nachas ruach for Hashem is when we do it together. Adapted from the teachings of Rav Mordechai Freundlich, zt”l.
had given away all of their savings. Reb Yonason decided it would be best if he left town for a few days. By the time he returned, she would certainly have calmed down. Before long, the priests discovered that their captive had disappeared. Furious, they vowed to bring the Jew’s death penalty upon the responsible party. Their suspicion was narrowed down to the guard. Feeling the noose tighten around his neck, the guard realized he must escape. On his way, he pocketed a collec tion of jewels from the church’s treasury. Once outside the church, he realized there was no way he could carry such a large fortune on himself as he escaped. He made a quick calculation that he could not leave the jewels with a fel low Christian. The only person in town whom he knew he could trust was the young rabbi, Reb Yonason Eibeschutz. If he was willing to give away his own fortune for a fellow brother, he could certainly be trusted to hold the guard’s fortune.Theguard knocked at the door, and was welcomed by Reb Yonason’s wife. He quickly told her what had happened and left behind his jar of jewels along with a familiar white cloth containing three thousand golden coins…
* * * *
In the meantime, Reb Yonason fretted over how to han dle his wife’s reaction. To his surprise, she was in good spir its when he returned home.
Ultimately, he understood that this was because he had excluded his fellow community members from having a part in his mitzvah. Because every individual is indepen dently commanded to carry out the mitzvos, yet there is special value to a mitzvah done as a group. *

The automaker will begin notifying affected car owners on September 26, with dealers to inspect the rivets and replace buckle assemblies at no charge, if needed. General Motors has said that it has not received any reports yet of injuries related to the problem.
A recall issued on August 15 warned consumers that a safety strap located underneath 4moms’ MamaRoo baby swings and RockaRoo baby rockers could pose a strangulation hazard to crawling infants. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, 4moms received two reports of ten-month-old infants becoming entangled in the dangling safety strap of un occupied MamaRoo swings. One baby suffered bruising to his neck, while the other baby died.
Unusually Dry Summer Prompts Countywide Stage II Water Emergency
GM Vehicles and Baby Swings Both Recalled for Safety Belt Issues
County officials emphasized that the emergency declaration is a proactive measure to prevent a larg er shortage and applies even to those whose water comes from a private well. Officials have also asked Rockland residents to only run washing machines and dishwashers with full loads.
Consumers are advised to stop using affected swings and rockers and to contact 4moms at 877-870-7390 for a free re placement strap.
Monsey’s formerly verdant lawns will be getting browner now that mandatory water restrictions have gone into effect because of this summer’s abnormally dry weather.
Rockland’s Stage II water emergency kicked in last Thurs day in response to unprecedented flow levels in the Ramapo River, which is limiting usage of a significant county water source — the Ramapo Valley Well Field. The county’s latest watering restrictions apply equally to residents and businesses. Properties with odd-numbered ad dresses can water their grass on Mondays and Thursdays — and their flowers, vegetable gardens, trees, bushes and potted plants on odd-numbered days of the month. Proper ties with even-numbered addresses can water their grass on Tuesdays and Fridays — and their flowers, vegetable gardens, trees, bushes and potted plants on even-numbered days of the month. Watering is permitted only between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. for those using in-ground irrigation systems and 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. for all others.
An August 11th National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announcement recalled nearly half a million General Motors 2021 and 2022 vehicles because of a possible third-row seat belt issue. Ac cording to General Motors, rivets used to attach buckles to left and right side mounting brackets in 484,155 Cadillac Escalades, Chevrolet Suburbans and Tahoes, and GMC Yukon vehicles may be improperly formed, which could lead to an injury in the event of the crash.
The water emergency also precludes washing down public or private paved surfaces such as streets, sidewalks, driveways, garages, tennis courts or patios, except for emergency situ ations. Restaurants can serve water by request only, and the drought emergency prohibits the use of fountains, artificial waterfalls and reflecting pools that don’t run on re cycled water systems.
The recall includes over 2.2 million swings and rockers sold in the United States and Canada. Only MamaRoo models with three-point harnesses are affected by the recall, which in cludes all version 1.0 swings; version 2.0 swings bearing model number 4M-005; version 3.0 swings bearing model number 1026; and version 4.0 models bearing model number 1037. RockaRoo rockers with model number 4M-012 on their bases are the only rockers affected by the recall.

A pair of recalls were issued last week affecting items that are popular among Monsey residents — large Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC SUVs and Ma maRoo and RockaRoo baby swings and rockers.
While the 9/11 Tribute Center is no longer open for visi tors, the national 9/11 Memorial and Museum located at Ground Zero remains fully operational.

Sixteen years after it first opened its doors to serve as a support mechanism for victims’ families, the 9/11 Tribute Museum has closed for good due to pandemic-related finan cialStaggeringdifficulties.attendance drops have left the Lower Manhat tan museum struggling, reported ABC 7. Museum co-found er and CEO Jennifer Adams-Webb said that the Greenwich Street facility drew half a million visitors in 2011, a number that fell to just 26,000 last year.
“We’re millions of dollars in debt with our lease, and to try to make that up on top of our annual operating cost is almost impossible without visitors or some intervention from our government,” said Adams-Webb.
The 9/11 Tribute Museum called on the public to ask their elected officials to help them through their financial crisis, with a petition asking Governor Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams to help save the museum garner ing nearly 37,000 signatures. The museum shut its physical doors on August 17, although it will continue to provide edu cational resources and support to family members through its website.Manyof the museum’s guides were 9/11 survivors, rescue and recovery workers, and family members of those who died in the 2001 terror attack. More than 5 million people visited the museum, which offered guided walking tours of the 9/11 Memorial at Ground Zero and exhibits including personal perspectives, videos and artifacts from the Twin Towers. A significant amount of the museum’s physical col lection will be relocated to the New York State Museum in Albany.Museum guide Peter Bitwinski survived both the 9/11 at tack as well as the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. He re called the terrifying moments when the impact of the plane threw him onto his 69th floor office desk in 2001, as well as his fervent hope that he would live to share his story with others.“Everything we’ve done I’ve been proud of,” said Bitwin ski. “The amount of handshakes and tears I’ve experienced over the 13 years is what made it all worth it.”

CHAPTER 24 RECAP: Zach’s tour of Lodz ends on a melancholy note at the Radegast train station, where Jews were shipped off to their deaths during World War II. Chaim Simcha visits Lenny’s wife, who confirms that her husband is “vacationing” in Poland. She gives Chaim Simcha a number where he can reach Lenny. “T hat you, Julia? Hi! How are the “Thiskids?”isn’t your wife, Lenny.” Lenny’s left hand, which was holding a forkful of pasta, stopped halfway to his mouth. “Rabbi Ginzburg? Hey! How you doing? Uh, how’d you get this number?” “Lenny, why are you in Poland?” Lenny swallowed hard. Rabbi Ginzburg wasn’t supposed to know about this trip, not until it was long over. Too much could still go “Justwrong.—just taking a vacation, is all.” He was sweating profusely now. “All that talk about Lodz and the old days got me in spired, you know? I wanted to see where it all began.” He glanced around his hotel room at the peeling wallpaper and the worn carpet and injected a false note of optimism into his voice. “I’m on one of those fancy five-star tours. Saw an advertisement, and I just jumped on it. It’s going great!” He shifted his weight on the bed and felt the springs creaking. “I’m really living it up here…” He stared at the forkful of pasta and finally shoved it into his mouth. “Really? That’s nice. What hotel are you at?”Lenny frowned. “That’s kind of a per sonal question. Does it matter?” “No, not really. It’s just that my broth er’s there, along with Zach Ganz. I thought maybe you guys could get together. Zach changed his mind about coming to claim the manuscript, you see.” “He what ?!” Bits of pasta sprayed out of Lenny’s mouth. With a low hiss, he got off the bed and grabbed a stiff towel from the bathroom. He began cleaning with one hand, his other still gripping the phone. “I mean, that’s — that’s great! It’s a big sur prise.”“I’ll say. Baruch Hashem, we’re moving in the right Lennydirection.”barelypaid attention to the rab bi’s words. He was too busy thinking. Zach was claiming the manuscript! What would Lenny do now? His whole plan hinged on being the only claimant. It had been easy to whip up a few documents showing himself to be the heir. He would hand them in, get the manuscript, and be back in the states with no one the wiser. It wasn’t like the
“I“Izzy“Fine.”—”saidfine!” Izzy growled.
Poles would have cared which Ginzburg they talked to. But with two separate claims, they’d have to look into everyone, which vastly increased the chances of them discov ering that Lenny’s documents were false. He could be arrested for fraud! But maybe he could still salvage this. “Has he, ah, gotten around to filing yet?” Could Zach be convinced to just drop it? It wasn’t like he had any skin in the game; Zach didn’t care about the manuscript, right? He was just there on behalf of the rabbi. If Lenny could talk to him“Lenny,alone...what are you up to over there?”Getout.
The entire operation, start to finish, was meant to rescue a holy work from the hands of the goyim. Lenny wasn’t doing anything wrong, chas v’shalom But he knew it looked bad, and it could very much blow up in his face. Why was Hashem making this so hard for him?! “Did you come to Lodz to try and claim the manuscript?” Chaim Sim cha’s voice was level, conversational, calm. But there was no mistaking the steelyLennyundertone.triedto think of something to say, some way to deny it. After a mo ment’s hesitation, his shoulders sagged. “Yes. But you gotta understand, Rab bi…” “He what ?!” Izzy shouted. “Calm down,” Chaim Simcha warned.“Calm d— Are you serious? He’s stealing our yerusha!” Izzy wanted to hit something, ideally Lenny’s pudgy face. Unfortunately, the only thing at hand was his phone. “We can’t let him get away with “Technically,this!” he’s stealing Zach’s yerusha, not ours,” Chaim Simcha re minded him. “And we won’t let him get away with it. You’ll have to go back to City Hall and tell them what’s up. Tell them you know who filed the other claim, and that it was all just a big mis take.”“Was it a mistake?” Izzy demanded. His brother didn’t answer. “Why are you trying to help this guy?” “I’d rather not cause a fellow Yid to go to jail,” Chaim Simcha said evenly. “And we’re not lying. It was a mistake. He shouldn’t have done it.”
Go back home. He could be back in the states long before the Polish realized what happened if he left right now. He’d be safe, he’d be home. He’d be broke. Less than broke, in fact. He hadn’t been able to afford this trip. And it wasn’t like he could get a business loan to help swindle a foreign country. So he’d dipped into the only fund he could find that wouldn’t say no — the dowry yerusha his mother-in-law had left for their daughter, Sheva. This wasn’t the first time. Lenny had borrowed sums from the dowry several times in the past. He’d always paid it back before Julia noticed. But if he came back empty-handed, there’d be no paying it back. Julia would find out, and she’d be livid. He didn’t want to think about what she might do. “Lenny? You still there?” “Yeah. Yeah, I’m here.” He’d meant this l’Shem Shamayim, too. Really! It had looked like Zach wasn’t willing to go. If he didn’t, Lenny knew the Polish government would keep the manuscript for themselves. A shanda! To let a Ginzburg family heirloom go to the people who had wiped out three mil lion Jews? No, that couldn’t be allowed to happen.WithZach seemingly out of the pic ture, Lenny was the only one who could prevent it from happening. Naturally, he deserved compensation for his work. He had to finance the trip, after all. Plus, he was taking considerable risks by forging the documents. He would have to sell the manuscript to recoup his expenses, but he’d make sure it was sold to a frum Yid, with the condition that the Lodzer shtiebel have both access to the material and the rights to publish it. And Lenny would give a large dona tion to the shtiebel from the proceeds.

““Izzy…”“Whatever.” What ?” At the moment, Izzy had zero qualms about letting Cousin Len ny rot in a Polish prison. Not that he expected his brother to agree with him. “Will you do that, please? Just go in there and say it was a mistake. I’m pretty sure I can convince Lenny to withdraw his application, but only if we leave room for him to wiggle out of trouble. Give him a pesach to get out of this, and he’ll do the right thing. It’s helping him and us. Okay?”

Zach bowed his head to the old man. “Thank you.” They made their way to one of the pews, and Zach gave Izzy a sly smile. “Those were some powerful words Velvel said,” he whispered. “Can you work that into the song?”
“Antshuldigs mir,” he told Zach as he approached. “What I said before wasn’t right.”“It’s fine,” Zach said, looking embar rassed.“ S’iz nisht fein,” Velvel insisted. “If there’s one thing I should have learned from Hitler, yemach shemo, it’s that a Yid bleibt a Yid, no matter what we do.”
AboutZachChanukah…”smiled.“Really? A Chanukah song? Like what? ‘The bad guys tried to take our land, it didn’t go the way they planned’?”Izzygrinned. “That’s great. And, uh, let’s see… ‘We smashed the Greeks and lit our lights, and now we celebrate eight nights. Go nuts with donuts, oil and cheer, ‘cause Chanukah’s coming, it’s al ready here!’ No, not like that,” he added as Zach burst out laughing. “Something serious. I thought maybe we could do a songTheytogether?”wereat the top of the stairs now, and Zach pushed the door open. “Like a song about freedom and independence? I didn’t see you for the patriot type.” Izzy was about to answer when Velvel saw them and shuffled over as quickly as his ancient form would allow.
“Thank you.” Izzy didn’t bother to answer. “Hey,” Chaim Simcha said, chang ing the subject. “Chanukah’s tonight. I don’t know how Zach feels about going back to the Rebbe’s shul, but it’d be nice if you could daven there. Both of you, if he’s willing.”Izzyrolled his eyes. “Sure thing, boss. Any other detailed instructions before I let you “Justgo?”one thing.” Izzy could tell Chaim Simcha was smiling back in New York. “Your performance review is in. You’ve been doing a great job so far, so we’re doubling your salary.” “Ah.” That would’ve been funnier if Izzy hadn’t just lost his job, but he decid ed to play along anyway. “Well, that’s not a whole lot. Two nothings is nothing, as the saying goes.” that case,” Chaim Simcha coun tered, “we’ll triple it…” are we doing this again?” Zach asked as they got out of the car. It was freezing cold. They were about a block away from the Lodzer shul, the closest they could find a place to park. They set out walking, their shoulders scrunched up inside their thick coats. It was snowing, great big gobs of snow spinning merrily in the wind and smacking against their faces when they least expected it. The ground was cov ered with a fresh layer, so thin that it shot up in tiny geysers wherever their boots slammed down. Izzy didn’t know how to answer Zach. He was about to suggest they go back to the hotel, but that seemed like a bad idea. “Chanukah is a special time,” he fi nally“Okay,managed.agreed,” Zach said. “But I still don’t see why we should spend it with the Lodzers. They don’t like me, remem ber?”“You said that didn’t bother you.” Zach stopped walking long enough to give his cousin a smoldering glare. “Come on,” Izzy said weakly, clapping his hands together to restore some circu lation. “At least it’ll be warm in there.” How would Chaim Simcha handle this situation? Certainly not by walk ing ahead of Zach, snapping at him and scowling.Izzyturned back around. “Look, my brother thought it’d be a nice idea for us. I don’t know why, but he’s usually right about these things in the end. Maybe we’ll build some bridges.” Zach rolled his eyes, but followed any way.They started walking again, and Izzy’s thoughts turned to the impromptu con cert Zach gave in his hotel room. “Do you ever write music with words?” “A little. Not very often. It’s not as easy for me to express myself with lyrics.” “Ah.” The shul loomed up in front of them. The light streaming from the win dows lit up beams of scurrying snow like searchlights.“Lightsare on. Velvel must have al ready arrived,” Zach said with a hint of apprehension.“Yeah.”They walked through the heavy black gate and approached the stairs. “So, uh,” Izzy began. “I’ve been known to write a few lyrics now and again. Something you were playing last night kind of touched something off.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Recap: In her audience with the King and Queen, Dona Angelica is told that while it would be best for her to abandon Juda ism, they will help her because of her husband’s devotion to King Charles II who misses him so.
R eb Mendel opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. He tried again and finally managed a response. “Yes, Your Majesty. I have studied the Talmud for most of my life.” The Queen clapped her hands. “Good. You will answer our question.” She pointed to the red-clad dwarf. “Hanni bal, ask him the question. We will sit back and listen.” The dwarf bounded forward on his short legs until he stood almost face to face with Reb Mendel. “The question,” he said in an incongruously deep bari tone, “is in regard to a woman’s choice in choosing a mate. Someplace in the Talmud it states that a man may not marry a woman unless he sees her first because she may not find favor in his eyes and they will not have a happy marriage. But a woman may marry without ever seeing her prospective husband because of…” The dwarf pulled a piece of paper from his pocket. “Because tav lemeisav tandu milimeisav armelu. I don’t know if I got the pronunciation exactly right. The translation I was given is that it is better to live with someone else than to live alone. Is that right, Rabbi?”“Yes, that is the phrase,” said Reb Mendel. “Your pro nunciation was good. And so is your translation.” “That seems to mean that a man is concerned about the qualities of the person he marries, while a woman would be willing to marry anyone just so she shouldn’t have to live alone. Her Majesty wishes to know why the Talmud holds women in such low esteem and why Madame Dominguez, after having experienced life as a royal princess, would want to live in a society where she and her daughter would be so Thedemeaned?”dwarfglanced back at the Queen. She nodded, and he returned to his place. The King put his hand across his mouth to conceal his smile.
“That is our question, Rabbi,” said the Queen. “Do you have an answer?”
Rabbi Strausborg is then asked by the Queen if he is familiar with the Talmud.
Reb Mendel cleared his throat to give himself a moment to collect his thoughts.
“Your Majesty, I am familiar with that passage in the Talmud,” he said. “I have seen it many times. But I do not believe it is meant in the sense that Monsieur Hannibal suggests. There are undoubtedly some women who live in conditions of such distress and impoverishment that any marriage would be a welcome deliverance. But such women cannot be more than a tiny minority. None of the women in my family or in my wife’s family would ever have agreed to marry anyone at all just so they could be married. They always insisted on men of the highest per sonal quality and the finest prospects for success, men who would bring them honor, respect and wealth, men who would be good husbands and fathers. They would never settle for just anyone.”
The Queen nodded vigorously. “That is as it should be. But how do you explain those words in the Talmud?”
“Your Majesty, the Talmud is discussing someone who sends an agent to stand in at his or her wedding. A man is 136 The Monsey View
“Aha!” said the Queen. “That is exactly our point. What is the difference?” “Your Majesty, in both cases, a great deal of inquiry was made about the pro spective bride or groom. Information was gathered about the lineage of the fam ilies, their financial standing, the character of the prospective bride or groom, their physical appearance, their personalities, everything.” The queen nodded. “Yes, of course.”
“So let us talk first about the man,” said Reb Mendel. “When he sends off the agent to marry his bride by proxy, he knows he will be getting a woman who is perfectly suited to be a wife to him and a mother to his children. But even though, based on the information, the woman sounds exactly right for him, when he sees her in person, it is possible that she will just not appeal to him. There are always intangibles. Logically, everything may seem right, but emo tionally, he may just not care for her. And then what happens? He finds himself married to her, and his dislike turns into resentment and then into hate, and the home becomes a hotbed of discord. That is why the Sages forbade a man to marry a woman unless he had seen her first and found her appealing.”
forbidden to do so if he has never seen the bride, but a woman is permitted to get married by proxy even if she has never seen the groom.”
“We certainly would be,” said the Queen. She turned back to Reb Mendel. “So what is the meaning of that phrase Hannibal read to us before?”
“Exactly! So what does she do?” said the Queen. “The woman is more practical than the man. If she has finally identified a man who meets all of her requirements, she will make the marriage work, even if in the beginning she does not find him so appealing. She will work at the mar riage with the knowledge that they will grow together, and that in time, as they strive together toward their common goals, they will achieve the closeness that she cherishes so much.”
The King smiled broadly and turned to the Queen. “That seems quite an ex cellent explanation, Your Majesty.” “Indeed, it does, Your Majesty,” said the Queen. “That is exactly how our royal marriages work. It is the women who are the practical ones, and the men have their heads in the sands and the stars.”
“THAT IS OUR QUESTION, RABBI,” SAID THE QUEEN. “DO YOU HAVE AN ANSWER?”
“The woman we are discussing has also done her research very thoroughly. She has learned that the man she is considering is a good person, a kind and caring person. She has learned that he is from a respectable and prosperous family and that he has excellent prospects in commerce or as a scholar. She has learned that he is of a good appearance, that his manners are gentle, and that he is always clean and dresses elegantly. According to what she has learned from her reliable sources, this man is perfectly suited to her. He will be an excellent husband and father to her children. She has chosen well. But then she sees him, and he does not quite appeal to her.”
“That is true,” said the Queen. She looked at the King. “Women are the practi cal ones, Your Majesty. Isn’t that true?” “They certainly are,” said the King fondly. “Without you, we would be lost.”
“The Talmud is explaining,” he replied, “why women are more practical than men when it comes to choosing a spouse. A woman is a natural mother and homemaker. Her sense of self is based on having children and running a house hold. But a man, on the other hand, is a warrior, a merchant, a scholar. His sense of self is not so connected to his home. Therefore, a woman is more motivated to get married, and she will be more clear-headed about it than a man.”
The King laughed. “Precisely,” he said. The Queen smiled at him, and then she turned back to face Reb Mendel. “We
“We understand,” said the Queen. “And what about the woman?”
The usually dour Colbert allowed himself a tiny smile. Hannibal and the dwarfs began to titter, but a sharp look from the Queen silenced them.
“Your words have the ring of truth. As we understood them before, they didn’t really make much sense. We are aware that Jewish women have an im portant position in your community. Your explanation seems much more reasonable to us. In fact, it reflects a pro found wisdom that we find enjoyable.”
“We will take the matter under consideration, Your Majesty,” said the Queen. “We have heard what we wanted to hear.”Colbert bent down and murmured something to the King, who nodded and turned to Dona Angelica.

All prayers on our behalf are welcome, even the prayers of Jews. As for your claim to the properties of your husband, that will not be a simple mat ter. We understand that there are very substantial sums involved. It would be much easier if you embraced Christian ity, but as you are not inclined to do so, it will be difficult. Still, your husband did hold personal title to these properties. They were not part of the hereditary du cal estate. It is a matter for the lawyers and the judges. We have asked Monsieur Colbert to look into the matter and to do everything he can to recover all or at least a large part of your fortune.”
Dona Angelica burst into tears. “Thank you, Your Majesty,” she man aged to whisper. “Oh, thank you so much.”The carriage was ready and waiting for them when they emerged from the royal hunting lodge. By the time the car riage was rolling through the streets of Versailles, its passengers were absorbed in an excited review of the successful audience with the King and Queen. As they passed through the outskirts of the village, they did not notice the black cab with black curtains on its windows that emerged from a side street and followed them into Paris.

“It was one of the great honors of my life, Your Majesty,” said Reb Mendel.
“Your Majesty,” said the King, “should we invite the Rabbi to come regularly to the palace to tutor us in the Talmud?”
“We are most grateful, Your Majesty,” said Dona Angelica. “May the A-mighty
“We have given this some thought, madame, and this is what we are pre pared to do. There are two issues before us: the personal safety of your family and the recovery of your properties. We will guarantee your safety, the safety of your family, and the safety of your hus band’s cavalier, who has accompanied your son from Spain, for as long as all of you are in our domains. We cannot pro tect you if you leave to some Portuguese center such as Amsterdam or Hamburg. We also understand that it is not feasible for you to remain in Paris where there is no Jewish community. Therefore, we have decided that it would be best for you to settle in Metz. We will make the arrangements for you and provide you with assistance. We will also express our desire to the leaders of the Jewish com munity of Metz that you be given every courtesy and consideration.”
The move to Metz took place soon af ter the winter passed. In response to the King’s request that every courtesy and consideration be given to the Domin guez family, the community provided them with a handsome house near the synagogue. The house was well fur nished and considerably more spacious than the house on the Rue Parmentier. To be continued…

THE LOWER EAST SIDE OF YESTERYEAR: A HUB FOR IMMIGRANTS AND THE CENTER OF JEWISH LIFE IN NEW YORK CITY by: RIFKY SLOMIUC
Leaving Ellis Island to set foot on the Lower East Side meant stepping into a Jew ish world. Each synagogue, mutual-aid society, library, bank and store one passed was likely Jewish-owned. And for the new immigrants, the immersion into a famil iar world — albeit in a for eign land — with people who shared a common faith and background, was reassuring. The congestion, noise and cramped conditions were a haven from the virulent an ti-Semitic Russian and Ger man empires they had left.
Tenement housing, made up of low-rise buildings with multiple apartments, was the common choice for new immigrant families. The apartments were narrow, typi cally consisting of three to four poorly ventilated rooms with little to no sun, no heating and no hot water. The summer months were dangerously hot, with a window serving as a fire escape. Illnesses ran rampant and in cluded smallpox, typhoid fever and tuberculosis.
There was no electricity until after 1918. Instead, soapstone sinks were used for washing dishes and cloth ing (the earliest “washing machine” was a scrubbing board). The first electric-powered washing machine, the Thor, was introduced in 1908. In the 1920s, a wash ing machine cost approximately $80, while rent would be $20 monthly. (Four months’ rent spent on a luxury item? Highly unlikely.) The kitchen stove, heated by ei ther coal or gas, was kept on continuously during the cold winter months.

KKnown as Little Germany in the mid-1800s, the Lower East Side was considered “the world’s largest Jewish city” in the early 1900s. At the turn of the 20th century, up until 1924, the Lower East Side was the capital of Jewish America.

Nearly 85% of Jewish immigrants from EuropeEasternsettled in New York City, and approximately 75% of those settled in the Lower East Side upon arrival.
New Jewish immigrants faced unique trials in their search for employment. In the “Old World,” they had been barred from many jobs, and therefore their skills were more limited than that of those born and bred in the U.S. Open racism also prevented them from entering many desirable professions. Many Eastern European working-class immi grants found employment in the garment industry, whose owners operated their businesses from their homes or small buildings. In these “sweatshops,” men, women and children toiled in airless rooms under unsafe, unsanitary conditions, and spent long hours cutting, sewing and finishing clothing for pennies per piece. Sweatshops were not only unpleasant and exploitative but also discriminatory. Although the Lower East The inside of aapartmenttenement

Jewish immigrants on the Lower East Side
A peddler in New York (circa 1900s)
Side sported no restric tions on Jewish religion, many places of business allowed for a day off on Sunday; Shabbos was a day for work. Employees risked losing their job if they didn’t show up for work on Shabbos. And so many of them did lose their job, week after week.On the streets, trade was strong, and ped dlers hawked their wares from carts of ten pulled by horses. The first pushcarts ap peared along Hester Street in 1866. The Essex Street Market, an indoor market house with 475 stalls, opened in 1940 and is still in success ful operation today. Or chard Street, extending eight streets from Division Street in Chinatown to East Houston Street, was considered the center of the Lower East Side. The street was the neighborhood’s main marketing thoroughfare, known for its discount shopping. Its name traces itself to an actual orchard owned by James DeLancey, a wealthy landowner during the Revolutionary War. By the 1840s, the former orchard and farm were divided into lots to house new immigrants from Ireland and Germany. A few decades later, those residents were replaced by Russian and European newcomers who came to The garment trade was the primary industry.

Essex Street Market 164 www.themonseyview.com 845.600.8484 The Monsey View August 24, 2022
Ratner’s Delicatessen began as a kosher dairy restaurant in 1905 on Pitt Street and moved to Delancey in 1918, until shutting down in 2002. One of the foods introduced to New York by the Jewish immigrants of Eastern Europe was kosher dill pickle. Pickles, made with a brine of salt, water, dill and garlic, were cheap for sell ers to produce and for customers to purchase. In the late 1800s, you could get an entire cucumber pickle for a penny! Izzy Guss, a Russian immi
grant, started selling pickles from a pushcart, and by 1920, had opened a storefront on Hester Street. The pickle market was so huge that Guss was one of 80 other pickle shops! After moving to 85 Orchard Street in the early 2000s, in 2009, Guss’ Pickles left the Lower East Side for good. More recently, Moishe’s Bake Shop, an iconic kosher bakery, closed its doors after being in its original location at 115 Second Avenue, near Sev enth Street, since 1977. Owner Moishe Perlmut ter — whose hamantaschen, rugelach, babka and sugar kichel were legendary — closed his doors in 2019. Finally, Yonah Shimmel’s Knish Bakery began out of a pushcart in 1890. The store re mains family-owned, and its store on Houston Street, open for the past century, is the oldest “knishery” in the United States.
THE CHANGING SCENE
By the 1950s, quality of life had improved, but the younger generation had begun to branch out into Brooklyn or farther afield. As a result, the Jewish community of the Lower East Side began to decrease. Co-op buildings along the East Riv er allowed for larger apartments and green park space. Still, the personal access to Rav Moishe Feinstein (b. 1895 – d. 1986) remained a central motivation for staying in the neighborhood. By the 1960s, most Eastern European Jewish immigrants moved out of the Lower East Side due to increased crime. According to Mrs. C. Koenig, the daughter of Rabbi Moishe Zev and B. Feuerstein, her parents settled on the Lower East Side af ter marrying in 1956, and their two-bedroom apartment on Grand Street soon contained their mishpacha and a stream of guests. Reb Moishe Zev, a”h, was a devoted rebbi for many years and gabbai to the Boyaner Rebbe. Reb Moishe Zev would regularly drive Rav Moshe Feinstein from his home on FDR Drive to the Boyaner Rebbe and to Talmud Torah Tiferes Yerushalayim on East Broadway. Mrs. Koenig recounts that at one time, there were eighteen shuls on East Broadway between Clinton Street and Grand Street! She re calls that during her youth, the neighborhood had a kosher grocery, pizza shop and fish store. Rent prices were low, and so tenants used their savings to later move out and buy houses in less congested neighborhoods. By the 1980s, many of the apartments were con verted to co-ops, and the number of Jews in the areaMaydwindled.wesoon be zoche to be gathered from the far corners of the earth to greet Moshiach Tzid keinu, and be transport ed to the one central hub of our nation in Yerush alayim.

Beis Knesses Chasam Sofer, located at 8–10 Clinton Street, is the second-oldest syna gogue building in New York. Constructed in 1853, it is the oldest con tinuously running shul. For a hundred years, Chasam Sofer hosted two minyanim, nusach Ashkenaz and nusach Sefard. When it became unable to support two minyanim daily, Rav Dovid Feinstein, zt”l, advised hosting the minyanim one at a time. Weekdays are devoted to nusach Ashkenaz, while Shabbo sos and yamim tovim the nusach is Sefard.
The Bialystoker congregation, organized in 1865 on the Lower East Side, still hosts several daily minyanim. The historic build ing on Willet Street was purchased in 1905 and was composed mainly of Polish immigrants from the province of Bialystok, in northeastern Poland.

Beth Hamedrash Hagadol Boyaner Kloiz: 247 E. Broadway Mesivta Tiferes Yerushalayim
The Boyaner Kloiz, an island of sanctity on the teeming streets of New York City, was led by Reb Mordechai Shlomo Friedman, the Boyaner Rebbe of New York, for over 40 years. In 1927, he left Europe to become one of the first chassidish rebbes of New York, establishing his court on the Lower East Side. The kloiz at 247 East Broadway still has daily minyanim
This shul was the first to be named a New York City landmark. Founded in 1852, it was the oldest Russian Jewish Orthodox congregation in the United States (most of its members had fled the Russian pogroms of 1840 to 1841). The shul closed in 2007.
Announcement of Talmud Torah Tiferes Yerushalayim’s opening Talmud Torah Tiferes Yerushalayim, founded in 1807 at 87 Eldridge Street, eventually made its home at 145–147 East Broadway on the Lower East Side. In an era when nearly 100% of public schools students were Jewish, assimilation rates were soaring. A group of visionary laymen banded together to provide a unique educational oppor tunity for Jewish children to connect with their religion and cul ture. In 1937, Rav Moshe Feinstein, zt”l, the ityhalachicleadingauthorofhistime, became the dean of this institution — a position he retained until his petirah in 1986. 170 www.themonseyview.com
The large number of synagogues shown here illustrate that the Jewish immigrants were the predominant group on the Lower East Side during this time.

The Eldridge Street Synagogue was built in 1887 during mass immigration to the United States. It was the first shul in the United States purposely built by immigrants from Eastern Europe as a spiritual home for immigrants fleeing Russia, Poland, Lithuania and other Eastern European countries. However, an exodus to the outer boroughs caused the congregation’s numbers to dwindle; by the 1950s, the shul had closed as a makom tefillah. It currently houses a museum.

New Yorkers don’t make eye contact.
SARA: I do find that New Yorkers are always in a rush, to the point that they don’t have time to stop and look around them. They’re always moving on to the next thing.
SHULAMIS: Though it’s not something I realized myself, when I discussed it with my mother, who also moved here, she admitted it’s something she’s noticed. She blames it on the fact that the rush-rush-rush doesn’t allow for the luxury to look a person in the eye and give them the time and patience they deserve.
SHULAMIS: Indeed, they’re always in a rush, always run ning from place to place. That’s a very accurate descrip tion of the typical New Yorker.
ROCHEL: Yes, at least when they’re on the street. I see so much cutting off other people in traffic, so much bustle on the streets! But once you’re sitting with someone indoors, then you don’t generally feel the rush. (Unless you happen to be talking about the rush to the school buses... Oy vey !)
New Yorkers are always in a rush.
NAOMI: They are, indeed, always rushing, whether it’s an employee running to work, or a businessman to close another deal, or just a mom heading out to get matching clothes for all her kids before they’re sold out. I find many New Yorkers don’t know what it means to just sit and enjoy the moment, whatever it is.
SARA: I agree that they don’t have time; they’re always running from one thing to the next, and this results in no eye contact with other people.
ROCHEL: I don’t think the lack of eye contact has anything to do with the rush; I think it’s social awkwardness. People here just didn’t grow up greeting other people, in general. Saying gut Shabbos on the street to a stranger just feels weird... I know, because now it feels weird to me, too, even though I know it shouldn’t.
MINA: I find the opposite — that New Yorkers do make eye contact. Sometimes I even get stared at.
182 www.themonseyview.com 845.600.8484 The Monsey View August 24, 2022
NAOMI: They are always up to something and cannot slow down to just look at a person. Even on their lunch breaks they are too busy to breathe.
MINA: This may be true about New Yorkers, but I think Israelis are in an even greater rush! What’s true across the board is that you make time for whatever is impor tant to you.
183 www.themonseyview.com 845.600.8484 August 24, 2022 The Monsey View
SARA: New Yorkers speak fast since they’re rushing to have it said and move on.
New Yorkers speak fast.
TOVA: There’s definitely some truth to it. I was with my brother in the car, and he remarked how everyone honks but no one pays attention or takes it seriously. In Detroit, when someone honks, people take note — and it rarely happens.
NAOMI: This is very true. You can never be too careful when driving around New York; cars can appear out of nowhere, with the drivers thinking they are the only ones on the road.
SARA: I believe that drivers appear rude on the road be cause there’s always a lot of traffic, which makes drivers very anxious and annoyed. So the driver doesn’t really pay attention to other drivers or pedestrians — he’s just trying to get to his destination the fastest way possible.

New Yorkers are rude on the road.
SHULAMIS: I am not denying this. Drivers here don’t yield the right of way — an offense that’s always ticketed in LA. Here, drivers seem to get away with not stopping at stop signs and skipping other drivers who have the right of way.
MINA: I wouldn’t call it rude but instead unprofessional. It sometimes seems like the road is full of drivers who don’t really have a driver’s license!
MINA: This may be true for someone who doesn’t speak the language. I think anyone hearing someone talk a language they don’t know finds that it sounds very fast to them.
SHULAMIS: Not only do the people of New York speak fast, but their thought processes are also so fast. They think fast, and always have a ready immediate response, which sometimes makes it hard to keep up in a conversation.
NAOMI: I think it’s because their their minds are always on the next thing or thinking what they could do next, which busi ness deal, which party…. Like I said, they don’t know how to just be in the moment.
185 www.themonseyview.com 845.600.8484 August 24, 2022 The Monsey View
NAOMI: At this point, for sure. The New Yorkers are going to buy the merchandise anyway because many people need to keep up with everything. It allows retailers to put practically any price on their products and still have customers.
SARA: Yes, New York has top-rated restaurants! And so many choices. However, the obesity rates are higher too!
SARA: I disagree with this one. Many American-made products are more expensive in Canada. Additionally, shopping in Canada is less convenient, and time is money, after all. In New York there are a lot more places to shop, and it’s easier to get your shopping done.
SHULAMIS: Life here is expensive, but compared to LA, where housing is double in price, it doesn’t seem that expensive to us. However, a new-for-me expense that we never had in California is tolls. There we get to travel all the highways and bridges for free.
MINA: While New York may feature the best steaks, I’ll take simple Israeli foods — pita, falafel, juicy shawarma, salty potato bourekas — over New York’s, anytime!
MINA: A lot of things are double the price than in Eretz Yisroel. But since you earn more here, it just makes sense that every thing is more expensive.
186 www.themonseyview.com 845.600.8484 The Monsey View August 24, 2022
NAOMI: The food here is mostly very good, and the people here have high standards for food. The fast food here, though, isn’t my favorite. It’s too commercial and too junky, but in the steakhouses they do a good job! I’ll still take Israeli fast food over New York’s, though.
ROCHEL: Does it? Food is food.
SHULAMIS: Compared to LA, not necessarily. There’s really good food there, and the eateries offer high-class foods and beverages. Overall, the experience is more high-end than we find here.
Everything in New York is expensive. New York has the best food.
187 www.themonseyview.com 845.600.8484 August 24, 2022 The Monsey View
SHULAMIS: Oh, yeah! You always have to get dressed. We get judged by what we wear and how we look. Out of town, you work with your own taste, and people don’t mind. You wear what you want to wear, not what society dictates.
Potholes are all over our roads.
New Yorkers are obsessed with style and materialistic concerns.
MINA: I don’t find that to be true compared to the conditions in Eretz Yisroel, though some roads do feel like Third-World roads.
ROCHEL: There just isn’t a way to deflect this stereotype. Sorry, New York, but your materialistic leanings shine forth. (It’s time to grow up and stop living for the Joneses! Or maybe the Weisses…) In general, I think we could be less cookie-cutter and embrace diversity more.
NAOMI: Yes. Here people need the newest, best, biggest cars. And with clothing…. It’s like before you even enjoy the clothing for the season, you’re already shopping for the next season.
MINA: Oh, yes, big time!
SHULAMIS: Yes, it’s true. The salt for snow-re moval causes them — an issue we didn’t have back in California. Driving here is really bumpy.
188 www.themonseyview.com 845.600.8484 The Monsey View August 24, 2022
SARA: I don’t remember the roads in Canada to compare, but surely there are similar issues with the snow and the salt there, too.
NAOMI: I think part of New York driving education should be how to safely avoid potholes. Cars are doomed over here, and if you drive a car and not an SUV, expect your car to get bashed up.
SARA: I agree that many people are extremely materialistic. Many people live in congested areas where you see a lot of your neighbors’ goings-on, so the peer pressure is higher.
Before you get away with only judging us here in New York, is there anything you admire about those who have become your neighbors? I would like to share that there are so many benefits to living in New York. The Yiddish commu nity is so large, and the tzedakah and chesed that New Yorkers do for one another is unparalleled.
MINA: New Yorkers are so smiley and helpful. In gen eral, I think New York is full of opportunities, color and life, like no other place!
ROCHEL: With so much hustle and bustle it’s easy to feel lost, but the truth is that if you ever have a need, there’s nothing like the New York Jewish community! Organizations exist for just about everything. There’s always a helping hand just around the corner.
189 www.themonseyview.com 845.600.8484 August 24, 2022 The Monsey View
SHULAMIS: New Yorkers are always looking to help others and do chesed. And so many great ideas and so much talent originate in New York.

What do these tourists come for? And how many of these attractions have you, New York native, visited? Here we explore major Big Apple attractions, landmarks and hot tourist spots, and you might just find that this list is for you, too!
The city of New York is one of the hottest tourist spots in the world. In 2019, NYC attracted 66.6 million visitors. Then, when the coronavirus reared its ugly head, those numbers drastically dropped.
Now New York tourism is back on the rise, with 33 million visiting in 2021 as opposed to the 22 million in 2020. So far, 2022 looks quite promising, with an expected number of 56 million tourists.
196 The Monsey View
197
WHY IT WAS BUILT: It was built by France and gifted to the U.S. in honor of their centennial of independence and to celebrate the friendship between the two countries.
UPGRADES: The torch, its most fragile part, has been renovated and redesigned several times over the years, and it was converted to electric power in 1916.
STATUELIBERTYOF
AVERAGE VISITORS PER YEAR: 3.5 MILLION
YEARS BUILT: The Statue of Liberty was built in France between 1876 and 1884, disassembled, and shipped. It was then assembled on Liberty Island (then called Bedloe’s Island) in 1866.
CLAIM TO FAME: This icon of freedom was a welcoming symbol to immigrants who arrived in the U.S. by sea. FUN FACT: It’s well-known, but still interesting. The statue of liberty is made of copper and was originally bronze-colored. Over the years it has oxidized and now boasts its familiar coat of green patina. The Monsey View
PEOPLE VISIT FOR: the exhibits, tours, sights and the boat ride, but mostly to get a picture in front of the Statue!
DECLARED A NATIONAL MONUMENT in 1924
CENTRALPARK AVERAGE VISITORS PER YEAR: 42 MILLION YEARS BUILT: 1858–1872 WHY IT WAS BUILT: As Manhattan was rapidly growing urban-like and crowded, this area was earmarked for a country-like oasis for city dwellers. UPGRADES: Restoration and maintenance of this most-visited urban national park is ongoing. DESIGNATED A NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK in 1963 PEOPLE VISIT FOR: the scenic hills, meadows, playground and fields. Popular attractions include the Central Park Zoo, Belvedere Castle, Loeb Boathouse and the Carousel. CLAIM TO FAME: Central Park was the first public landscaped park in the U.S. FUN FACT: This massive park has more than 9,000 wooden benches dotting its landscape. 198 www.themonseyview.com 845.600.8484 The Monsey View August 24, 2022
199 www.themonseyview.com 845.600.8484 August 24, 2022 The Monsey View
CLAIM TO FAME: Considered the most photogenic bridge, there’s a reason this majestic bridge with its granite towers stars in artwork and photos.
200 The Monsey
UPGRADES: In 1948, the bridge was renovated to double its capacity, and its trolley tracks were removed. The 21st century saw the city reinforce and renovate the bridge to ensure its safety.
FUN FACT: When the Brooklyn Bridge opened, there was a toll charge, unlike today when crossing is completely free. Back in the day it cost a penny to cross by foot, 5 cents to cross by horse, and 10 cents to cross by horse and buggy. And no living creature got away for free — crossing a cow cost 5 cents and a sheep or hog 2 cents. View
DESIGNATED A NATIONAL HISTORIC MONUMENT in 1964 PEOPLE VISIT TO: walk across the bridge for sights of the NYC skyline and river views, as well as for the great photo opps it presents.
BROOKLYNBRIDGE AVERAGE VISITORS PER YEAR: 1 MILLION YEARS BUILT: 1869–1883 WHY IT WAS BUILT: Prior to its constructions, commuters between Manhattan and Brooklyn had to take a ferry from one place to the other. The Brooklyn Bridge provided a thoroughfare for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic between the two boroughs.
201The Monsey View
CLAIM TO FAME: At 1,776 feet, One World Trade Center stands as the tallest building, not only in New York or in the U.S., but in the entire Western Hemisphere.
FUN FACT: The core of One World Trade Center is made of the strongest concrete ever poured in New York (14,000 psi, if that means anything to you).
202 The Monsey View
WHY IT WAS BUILT: After the devastating terrorist attacks of 9/11, this building, once upon known as The Freedom Tower, was constructed as a symbol of freedom and a sign of resistance against terrorism. Its height (1,776) is symbolic of independence and its spire a nod to the torch of the Statue of Liberty.
AVERAGE VISITORS PER YEAR: 10 MILLION YEARS BUILT: 2006–2014
PEOPLE VISIT FOR: One World Observatory on the 102nd floor of One World Trade Center.
ONE TRADEWORLDCENTER
203The Monsey View
204 The Monsey View
CLAIM TO FAME: Until the construction of the Twin Towers in 1970, the Empire State Building stood as the tallest building in the world. After the Towers’ collapse, it was the tallest building in New York until 2012.
UPGRADES: Restoration work that began in 2019 recently gave the 90-year-old building a much-needed facelift.
205The Monsey
FUN FACT: The construction of the Empire State Building was completed in a record-breaking 1 year and 45 days. View
EMPIREBUILDINGSTATE VISITORS PER YEAR: 4 MILLION YEARS BUILT: 1930–1931 WHY IT WAS BUILT: It was built as an office building, and the original plan was for it to be 50 stories high. But as the “Race to the Sky” heated up, with buildings vying for the place as the “world’s tallest building,” the plans were revised for The Empire State building to beat the then-inconstruction Chrysler Building.
AVERAGE
DESIGNATED A NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK in 1986 PEOPLE VISIT FOR: the observatories on the 102nd and 86th floors; before its closure in 2015, the Skyride was a famous attraction.
206 The Monsey
DESIGNATED A NEW YORK CITY LANDMARK in 1967 PEOPLE VISIT FOR: The most popular reason is the transportation access it provides, though under Grand Central Terminal’s opulent roof is 60 shops and 35 eateries, and something’s always happening there.
CLAIM TO FAME: Its $20 million clock is the most recognized decor in the Terminal. So much so that New Yorkers always know that “meet me at the clock” means that a train ride is in plan.
FUN FACT: There are secret train tracks hidden in the bowels of this terminal. Its original purpose was to clandestinely ferry the rich and famous to and from the WaldorfAstoria Hotel. The most famous rider of the underground train was indisputably President FDR, who didn’t want the country to know that he’d become paraplegic. View
TERMINALCENTRALGRAND AVERAGE VISITORS PER YEAR: 67 MILLION YEARS BUILT: 1903–1913 WHY IT WAS BUILT: A central hub was needed for the various train lines departing from and arriving in Manhattan. UPGRADES: Most recently, 2020 saw major upgrades in the Terminal to provide more accessibility and modernization of systems.

In addition, instead of looking at the ground for space that doesn’t exist, contractors are turning to the endless possibilities found in the skies. Many apartment developments at the height of luxury (pun intended) are being built in skyscrapers. Why is the NYC alwaysSkylinelitup?
While it may seem like a huge waste of energy, the Federal AdministrationAviation requires buildings higher than 200 feet to be lit up at night. On some of Manhattan’s larger towers, you can see a red light blinking atop a long antenna.This is to ensure that planes don’t unknowingly cause a second September 11. Con Edison, which provides power to New York, estimated that 5,200 megawatthours of electricity keep Manhattan lit overnight. Most of it is necessary, as people are living and working during the night, while some is for purposes.aesthetic
During the progressive era of the early 1900s, New York City was, well, progressing. Businesses grew, immigrants immigrated, millionaires were made, and NYC thrived. More businesses meant that more commercial and residential space was needed, and many industrialists took the opportunity to build memorable buildings. Thanks to their efforts, New York City has an exquisite skyline, made up of some of the most iconic buildings in the world.
The Evolving Skyline
Over the last century, the NYC skyline has undergone quite a transformation. In the early 1900s, a few skyscrapers were sprinkled around Manhattan, but with the advancement of technology and engineering capabilities, skyscrapers have become more common and easier to build. For example, the base of a skyscraper used to take up the better part of a block, and the building couldn’t be too tall. Now, a better understanding of aerodynamics (how to build things so that they work with the wind and airflow around them) has enabled the possibility of skinnier towers that can safely sway with the wind.

Woolworth Building
213 www.themonseyview.com 845.600.8484 August 24, 2022 The Monsey View
By: Toby Diamant Iconic Skyscrapers of the NYC Skyline
One of the oldest buildings in the Manhattan skyline, the Woolworth Building was completed in 1913 and stands at 792 feet. It was commissioned by Frank W. Woolworth and was to be the tallest building in the world. The project cost 13.5 million dollars — an exorbitant amount in those days — and Woolworth paid it all in cash. With its architectural design and modern features, including exterior lighting and an electric elevator, the building was groundbreaking. It remained the tallest building in New York for seventeen years.
The Woolworth Building framed by the Twin Towers, 1973
The Chrysler Building, an architectural icon in Manhattan, is named for Walter P. Chrysler, a competitive industrialist who bought the building plans and revised them to build the tallest building in the world. It was part of a three-way race with the Empire State Building and what’s now known as the Trump Tower, all of which were under construction at the same time, and all of which were vying for the title of “tallest building in the world.” The building plans for each skyscraper were top secret, and the Chrysler’s 185-foot spire was built at a separate location and put together inside the building to hide its final height until it was actually installed. When the building was completed in 1928, it stood at 1,048 feet and became the first manmade structure to stand at over a thousand feet tall. It held the title of the tallest building in the world for a grand eleven months — until the Empire State Building was completed. The Chrysler Building is still the tallest brick building made with a steel structure.
Chrysler Building
The World Trade Center
Empire State Building
A famous, historical building in the NYC skyline that can be spotted from far away, the Empire State Building stands at 1,454 feet at its tip and was completed in 1930. It functions now mainly as a corporate building, but also has exhibits and observation decks for the public. The exterior tower lights often change colors to acknowledge special occasions throughout the year.
Aka the Freedom Tower, this is currently the tallest building in the United States and in the Western Hemisphere. It was completed in 2014 as a remembrance to the Twin Towers that stood in the same spot until September 11, 2001. The Twin Towers were a landmark of New York from 1971, when they were spearheaded by David Rockefeller in order to revitalize Lower Manhattan. They were the tallest buildings in the world until 1974, when the Sears Tower in Chicago surpassed them. The Freedom Tower now houses many offices, restaurants and, of course, the famous One World Observatory, where you can see a panoramic view of New York City. It stands at exactly 1,776 feet tall, a wink to the year the Declaration of Independence was signed.
