Thank you for your recent FYI on chauffeurs! In Antwerp, Belgium, where French is often used, a driver is officially called a chauffeur. And thank you for the translation (which is “one who heats”). Now I know why steam is called chauffage!

LIVE AND LET LIVE

(Re: Why Emulate Achashveirosh?, Inbox, Issue 387)

To Shira Weiss, When Hashem created the world, He created many wonderful delicacies for us to

enjoy, both in their natural form and in the forms that result when we use our ingenuity. Is there really anything wrong with eating kosher jerky? Only if one eats it without a bracha, together with dairy, or eats it in a gluttonous manner.

Jerky itself is not inherently an issue. In fact, that kosher piece of jerky is a wonderful conduit for bringing more Elokus into this world. When we partake of something kosher in a joyous manner and make a bracha, we are doing something so heilig and wonderful!

If jerky doesn’t sit well with your personal sensitivities, then by all means, please do refrain from enjoying a piece. But whatever you do, please never look down upon those with other sensitivities, who may find jerky a kosher and tasty treat upon which to make a bracha. They are certainly doing no wrong.

Let’s all find the beauty in our community and applaud it, and watch a healthy, positive society blossom.

KEEP OUR CHILDREN SAFE!

(Re: Another Simcha Concern, Inbox, Issue 382)

After a recent plane trip, my husband and I required wheelchair transportation from the passenger exit of the airplane to the baggage area. In my estimation, it’s a walk of several miles, and as the airport is happy to provide free transport, why not? Unfortunately, we had a bit of a long wait on the jet bridge and were kept company by three flight attendants and none other than the pilot. I told them they were free to leave and that we could wait on our own, but they insisted that it was airline policy not to leave passengers alone until they were safely in the terminal.

My point? As someone mentioned

recently in regard to simchos, we need to take similar measures to keep our children safe. It has recently come to my attention that after missing a school bus home, some children were left unsupervised in a school building and needed to call their parents from the cleaning staff’s phone. A child should never be first or last on school premises unless a supervising adult is present. Please take note.

YOUR VOICE

ALL SMILES

I wanted to share my appreciation for the informative and well-written weekly articles by Mr. Berkowitz of Maple-Medex Pharmacy. I have also heard from many others who enjoy and gain from his writing.

I nodded along with last week’s article on the topic of the healing power of a smile. I recently began

being aware of my own (and others’) resting face and found that it is usually straight and anxious-looking. I’ve since attempted to turn my resting face into a pleasant smiling one, and baruch Hashem, I soon found that some symptoms I’d been having disappeared.

Now I want to raise awareness of our facial expressions to the world and start a smile campaign: “Smile, and the world smiles with you!” Additionally, once you smile, you’ll automatically find reason to praise Hashem.

A Happy Local

PARSHAS TETZAVEH

Aharon Hakohen and his sons lit the menorah every day in the Ohel Mo’ed.

The Gemara (Shabbos 22b) questions the purpose of this light, as Hashem provided light for Klal Yisroel during the 40 years in the Midbar. Does Hashem need our light as well?

The same amount of oil was placed in the Ner Hama’aravi as the rest of the flames of the menorah, yet the Ner Hama’aravi burned all throughout the following day, until the next night, when its flame was used to kindle the other flames. Thus, the light of the menorah testified to the world that the Shechinah rests among Klal Yisroel.

This is difficult to understand, though, as only a select few Kohanim would enter the Ohel Mo’ed each day: the Kohen who lit the menorah, the Kohen who prepared it, and the Kohanim who removed the lechem hapanim and placed fresh loaves in their place.

If only several Kohanim were witness to the miracle of the Ner Hama’aravi, how did it serve as testimony to the entire world that the Shechinah rests among Klal Yisroel?

IT WAS DURING THE SUMMER, and the intercity Egged bus was packed with adults and children making the most of their vacation day. Yechiel* sat with his sons right behind the driver.

At one stop, he watched as a woman got onto the bus with a number of children in tow. She asked the driver if she could settle her children in their seats and then come back to pay. The driver agreed, and the woman made her way to the back of the bus.

Two minutes later, the woman was back. She opened her

pocket book to take out her bus card, but to her shock, her wallet was missing! She must have left it at home. Here she was, standing on a packed, stuffy bus that was already making its way to the next stop, with her children comfortably seated, and she had no way to pay! No bus card, no cash. She looked frantic.

Yechiel was sure the driver would respectfully request that she take her crew and get off the bus. How devastated those kids would be to forfeit their anticipated trip!

But then something unusual occurred. The bus driver,

who didn’t appear frum, calmly said, “It’s okay. Someone will pay for you and your children.”

The woman stood there, unsure if she was meant to ask a favor from her fellow riders, but then the driver withdrew a bus card from his own pocket and swiped it for the woman and her children. The driver himself had paid her fare!

Of course, the woman thanked him and made her way to the back of the bus.

But Yechiel was dumbfounded. He had never seen something like this before. Curious, he asked the driver what motivated him to exert himself so.

“A while ago,” the driver replied, “I decided to keep such bus cards in my pocket and use them like a gemach. It happens more often than you would imagine that people get onto the bus and realize they don’t have enough money left on their bus cards, or that they forgot it by mistake…”

This only served to heighten Yechiel’s surprise. “You mean, this isn’t a one-time thing? You really do this often? Tell me, where did you get the idea for such a special gemach?”

The driver explained, “Look, I live in Ramat Hasharon, and the rav of the city is Hagaon Harav Yaakov Edelstein (zt”l).”

“Oh! So is he behind this gemach?” Yechiel asked.

“No, no,” said the driver. “Do you think I’d bother the rav with such silly little things? I’m just saying that when you see such a tzaddik all the time, and you observe the way he deals with people and the amazing middos that he has, you just get influenced and feel that you want to become a better person.”

Rav Yitzchak Hutner, zt”l, ex-

“It’s okay,” the driver said. “Someone will pay for you.”

plained:

The miracle of the Ner Hama’aravi had such a great impact on the Kohanim who saw it that it strengthened their emunah in the fact that the Shechinah rests among Klal Yisroel. Their hearts were lit up, and they passed on the torch. By default, everyone around them was influenced by its light. Even though only a few Kohanim actually saw the Ner Hama’aravi, its glow had the power to illuminate the entire world.

It was this intensified faith of the few who actually came in contact with the kedushah that created this ripple effect. The Kohanim were clearly uplifted by the neis, and this inspired those around them. Thus, the far-reaching influence ultimately served as testimony to the world that the Shechinah dwells among us.

*Not his real name.

Did You Know?

At one point during the days of the Beis Hamikdash, the olive harvest was weak. The Kohanim wept at this indication that Hashem was not pleased with Klal Yisroel. However, throughout the oil shortage, the miracle of the Ner Hama’aravi spread to the entire menorah. All of the flames burned brightly throughout the night, even though an inadequate amount of oil was poured in its cups.

The miracle of the Ner Hama’aravi stopped when Shimon Hatzaddik passed away.

“When you see such a tzaddik all the time, you just get influenced.”

Deadly Bacteria Prompts Enfamil Baby Formula Recall

Some 145,000 cans of Enfamil ProSobee Simply Plant-Based baby formula are being recalled because they may be contaminated with a rare, life-threatening bacteria.

According to Consumer Reports, two batches of the 12.9 ounce cans of the Enfamil formula bearing the UPC code 30087 1214415a were recalled.

The affected items were manufactured between August and September 2022, have a use-by date of March 1, 2024, and are labeled with batch codes of ZL2HZF or ZL2HZZ.

Reckitt, which makes the formula, said that it recalled the product out of an abundance of caution after a third party supplier found that their product tested positive for Cronobacter sakazakii.

None of the formula samples tested were found to contain the bacteria, and no illnesses have been reported to date.

Cronobacter is harmless in most adults and older children, but can be problematic and potentially life-threatening for premature babies, newborns, infants less than two months old and those with a compromised immune system.

Those who have the affected formula should return it to their place of purchase for a full refund or contact Reckitt at 800-479-0551 or consumer.relations@ rb.com.

Free Bus Stop-Arm Cameras Soon To Be Available Countywide

A new program in Rockland County will keep kids safer.

New City Patch reported that the county is partnering with BusPatrol, a company that specializes in school bus safety technology, to place cameras on the stop arms that swing out when children are getting on and off their buses. Drivers who fail to yield to school buses will receive penalties in the mail, with tickets issued based on video and GPS telemetry.

Rockland school districts would have to opt into

the program, which will mount the devices on their bus’s stop arms for free. The program would also include private schools in participating districts.

According to BusPatrol, only 13% of New York state’s school buses have cameras mounted on their stop arms, with an estimated 50,000 drivers illegally passing stopped school buses daily. According to BusPatrol, mounting cameras on bus stop arms reduces the rate of illegal passings by 30% each year.

The program will be rolled out with a 30-day warning period for drivers, with all fines waived during that time. BusPatrol and the county would run a community education and awareness campaign before the launch, with signs and announcements and warning letters to remind drivers that they are legally bound to stop any time a school bus has its stop arm out and red lights flashing.

According to BusPatrol, stop-arm cameras provide the most deployed bus safety program in North America, protecting 330,000 students on 6,500 buses in New York alone.

Support for Chesed 24/7 Runs Strong at American Dream

Hundreds of women turned out at American Dream Mall in Rutherford bright and early on the morning of February 26, ready to cheer on 500 of their mothers, sisters, cousins, neighbors and friends in a 5K run that raised crucial funding for Chesed 24/7.

This year marks Chesed 24/7’s second Run 24.7, with women coming from all over the greater New York area to participate in the high-energy event. Spectators lined the mall, cheering participants on as they walked and ran their way to

the finish line, where they were greeted by music, dancing and a hearty breakfast buffet.

Despite the party atmosphere, the run is all about the serious business of raising funds to keep chesed rooms at 21 area hospitals well stocked. Sixteen-year-old Passaic resident Rivka Shotkin, who was paralyzed from the chest down after a skiing accident, spoke about her personal experiences with Chesed 24/7 and how they impacted her recovery and imbued her with a sense of purpose.

New Hempstead resident Chani Mann came to the run with her daughter-in-law and several friends, happy to lace up her sneakers as an opportunity to give back to Chesed 24/7, whose efforts made her endless days in the hospital during her husband’s illness infinitely more bearable.

“All that time when I was in the hospital, I was so appreciative that they kept the refrigerators and the cabinets full of things to eat so that you could have comfort foods and feel like you were at home,” said Mann.

Mann also recalled the many visits from Chesed 24/7 volunteers who went out of their way to make sure that she and her husband had everything they needed, as well as how Chesed 24/7’s Shabbos boxes and artificial flowers brought an extra touch of warmth and caring to the most special day of the week, even in the hospital.

For Pomona East resident Chumi Herzberg, the run was an opportunity to show support for an organization that is there for patients at Calvary Hospital, Catskill Regional Medical Center, Columbia University Medical Center, Ellenville Hospital, Englewood Hospital and Medical Center, Good Samaritan Hospital, Hackensack University Medical Center, Hospital for Special Surgery, Lenox Hill Hospital, Memorial Sloan Ketter-

ing, Montefiore Medical Center, Mount Sinai Hospital, New York Hospital Cornell Medical Center and Valley Hospital

“Chesed 24/7 is there for all of us every day of the year,” said Herzberg. “How could we not be there for them today?”

Chinese Lab Leak Likely Cause of COVID

Nearly three years after the deadly COVID-19 pandemic first erupted, the United States Department of Energy has said that it was likely sparked by an unintentional leak at a Chinese laboratory.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the DOE’s findings were based on recently released classified information, whose details have not been shared by officials.

Prior to the information’s release, the DOE had said it was undecided on the origins of the pandemic. While the DOE report says that its conclusions were made with “low confidence,” its findings are significant because of the agency’s reputation for scientific expertise, which includes advanced biological research conducted at certain United States laboratories within the Energy Department’s network.

With the report’s release, the DOE joins the FBI in blaming a Wuhan laboratory leak for the worldwide eruption of COVID, which took more than one million lives in the United States alone. The FBI, which employs a staff of microbiologists, immunologists and other scientists supported by a national bioforensic center created nearly 20 years ago to analyze biological threats, cited its pandemic findings with “moderate confidence” in 2021.

Four other unnamed agencies that have been conducting long term analyses of the pandemic still continue to say with “low confidence” that the virus evolved through natural transmission with an infected animal. To date, no confirmed animal COVID source has been identified, leading the scientific investigation to focus on Wuhan’s scientific laboratories, with concerns raised as recently as 2018 about their weak safety protocols.

Refusing to confirm or deny the Wall Street Journal report, United States national security adviser Jake Sullivan said that President Joe Biden had ordered every part of the intelligence community to continue its investigations into COVID’s origins, an ongoing process that has yet to yield definitive results.

There are “a variety of views in the intelligence community,” noted Mr. Sullivan. “A number of them have said they just don’t have enough information.”

Others have pointed the finger of blame squarely at China, saying that it has sought to shut down inquiries into COVID’s origins.

“This is a country that has no problem coming out and lying to the world,” said Alaska Senator Dan Sullivan, who urged Congress to hold thorough hearings on the pandemic’s roots.

Skoufis Renews Effort To Restore Tappan Zee Bridge Name

State lawmakers are once again trying to remove the Cuomo name from a much-traveled local bridge, but this time with a Senate Democrat leading the charge.

Mid Hudson News reported that Senator James Skoufis reintroduced a bill originally sponsored in 2021 by former Republican State Senator Mike Martucci to restore the Tappan Zee name to the Mario Cuomo Bridge. As a Democrat, Skoufis’s push to reclaim the Tappan Zee name is expected to increase the odds of its passage. Previous Republican-sponsored attempts to rename the bridge failed to gain traction in either the Senate or the Assembly, both of which were controlled by Democrats.

As previously reported in The Monsey View, area residents were outraged when former Governor Andrew Cuomo unilaterally named the new twin structures spanning the Hudson River after his father, former Governor Mario Cuomo. The naming was a last-minute addition to a state omnibus bill in 2017, with Republicans allowing the measure to pass in exchange for certain concessions, reported the New York Post

“There was no public forum for people to have in order to share their thoughts before it was done, and it just kind of happened,” said Assemblyman John McGowan, who reintroduced the bill in the Assembly.

There are several dozen change. org petitions demanding the return

of the Tappan Zee name, including one that has garnered more than 262,000 signatures. Skoufis hopes to see the bill passed before the current legislative session ends in June.

“Everyone in the Hudson Valley still calls the bridge the Tappan Zee for a reason: it’s the rightful name,” said Skoufis. “I’m grateful to the previous sponsors for laying the bill’s groundwork, and I look forward to championing this moving forward.”

Whether or not having a Democrat pushing the bill can make a difference remains to be seen. Assemblyman William Magnarelli, chairman of the Assembly’s transportation committee, blocked the bill from coming to a floor vote last year and did not respond to requests for comments on its reintroduction.

329 Area Code Debuting Ahead of Schedule

The new area code that was announced last year as 845 was rapidly running out of assignable numbers will be coming to our area as soon as March 24, several months earlier than originally anticipated.

As previously reported in The Monsey View, the North American Numbering Plan Administrator had originally predicted that it would need to start overlaying a new area code in all or parts of Columbia, Delaware, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester counties sometime in the third quarter of 2023. Ten-digit dialing, which required those in the 845 area code to dial 845 even when making local calls, began in October 2021 in preparation for the rollout of the new area code.

Numbers with a 329 area code could be assigned as of March 24 to those requesting a new number or those who move. According to the New York State Public Service Commission, 329 should have enough available phone numbers to last approximately 28 years.

If you’re a fan of face paint, then Purim’s the Yom Tov for you! From butterflies to lions, soldiers to princesses, the options are endless and are sure to raise the Purim spirit.

But for Miriam Green, artist extraordinaire, face painting is one of the services she provides the community all year round. And even though she’s painted more faces than she can count, her passion is still as vibrant as ever.

by: HADASSAH STEINMAN

LIKE PLENTY OF PRESCHOOLERS around the world, Miriam’s very first attempts at drawing turned out to be wall murals. Unlike other preschoolers, however, this was only the beginning of Miriam’s artistic journey.

“I’ve been drawing since my mother handed me some paper and told me to stop writing on the wall,” Miriam says with a laugh. “I must have been about three years old at the time.”

Soon one drawer in the family’s china closet was designated for spare papers especially for Miriam’s use, and Miriam has vivid memories of herself drawing on these repurposed sheets of paper.

Eventually Miriam began school, and while subjects that nurtured creativity were a joy, math was pure horror.

“But teachers understood that math was difficult for me,” Miriam says, “and one way they got me to finish my work was by allowing me to doodle on the back of the worksheets once I was done.”

Math teachers aren’t the only mentors Miriam remembers fondly; her art instructor in elementary school was also instrumental in helping her find her way.

“I grew up in Toronto,” Miriam explains, “and while students who graduated from elementary school largely went on to attend high schools located in the district, we had the choice of applying to other schools if we felt that their specialty program — each high school had one — was a better match.

“Close to where I lived was a high school that boasted a wonderful and very intensive art program, and it was only five minutes farther than the area school. Our elementary art instructor encouraged the girls in her group to apply, and that’s how I got my start in the field.”

As it turned out, this would be the only professional art instruction Miriam would ever receive, because at the age of sixteen, she discovered her heritage. Instead of attending an art college after graduating high school, Miriam traveled to Eretz Yisroel to attend Neve Yerushalayim.

FACE PAINTING A FAN FAVORITE

Today the art-related services Miriam offers are many and varied, yet her most popular service, hands down, is face painting.

“I find that face painting is similar to calligraphy,” Miriam says. “It uses different supplies and methods, of course, but both harness the combination of thinner lines and thicker lines to create that desired look.”

While Miriam mostly gets invited to do face painting at Chanukah gatherings, birthday parties and upsherins, some more formal events will also find Miriam there, face paint at the ready, because how else to keep the little ones busy and quiet while the adults listen to divrei Torah?

“This is why I’ve been hired to do face painting at shul events, and even at a sheva brachos — which, granted, was outdoor and somewhat more casual. The hosts know that there’s nothing like face painting to keep the kids happy and entertained.”

As a preschool teacher with nearly three decades of experience under her belt, Miriam herself is also part of the entertainment. She enjoys communicating with the kids and doesn’t mind having them peer over her shoulder to watch her work. Questions are welcome, opinions even more so — especially when it’s a kid choosing a design that no one suggested to them.

“Let them have some autonomy somewhere,” is how Miriam puts it. “There’s so much that kids that age have no control over.”

Part of the reason face painting is such a good option for party entertainment is that it doesn’t take long. Caricature drawing, for instance, takes about six to eight minutes a face. Face painting takes about three to five minutes.

“And that’s if they’re choosing to go with full faces,” Miriam adds. “Another option in face painting is to draw a little something on each kid’s cheek or hand, and this goes super fast and produces less of a mess. I once did such a version of face painting at the grand opening of a toy store in Wesley Hills, and I kept hearing mothers say that they were glad they wouldn’t have to wash off an entire face.”

Miriam often has worried children asking if the paint will wash off. Her response to them is, Jew-

ish style, a question in return: Would their mother let them get painted if it wouldn’t come off?

“It does wash off easily,” Miriam asserts. “Only yellow is more difficult to get off, for some reason. But I’ve had kids I painted on Taanis Esther want the paint to stay on overnight. And it can stay on, too, if they sleep carefully.”

CARICATURES

SCRIBBLED WITH HUMOR, COLORED WITH RESPECT

If face painting harnesses the skills of calligraphy, then caricature drawing is an adaptation of portrait drawing. It’s about capturing the essence of a face, its personality, in a fun sketch that takes under ten minutes.

When done at events, caricatures are most fun for the older kids, who love finding themselves in the drawings. That’s why some hosts ask Miriam to do face painting for the younger kids and caricature drawing for the older set. But Miriam knows how much a drawing of a young teen can have an effect on the child’s confidence, and that’s the reason she lets the subject have some say in the matter.

“Some artists find the most distinctive feature on the subject’s face, and then exaggerate it for that comical, cartoonish effect,” Miriam explains, “but I don’t find that bekavodig. Why exaggerate a larger nose, or protruding ears? Instead, I draw a fairly realistic likeness that’s almost like a mini portrait — unless the subject davka asks me to produce a more exaggerated version of themselves.”

In either case, Miriam also applies some color to her drawings to make them even more recognizable. She uses a watercolor pencil (which produces a watercolor paint effect) to color the subject’s hair, face and clothes for some extra oomph.

“Sometimes I ask the subject what they enjoy doing for fun, and then I add small hands doing whatever it is the kid enjoys right underneath the caricature. I also make sure to add the date, of course, so the kids can look back and see how old they were when the caricature was drawn.”

One of the nice icing-on-the-cake items Miriam enjoys using works like lip balm but is packed with tiny sequins. This is great to use on princesses or butterflies.

Miriam also does caricatures based on photos that get emailed to her, and then she mails the final product to the customers.

“I’ve also had people ask me to draw caricatures as gifts,” Miriam says. “One example I remember was a woman who asked me to draw her friend, whom she wanted to appear as a superwoman, cape and all. That was sweet.”

When drawing one child after another at an event, Miriam

HIGHLIGHTS

When doing face painting for a crowd, the highlight for Miriam is what she calls the “mirror moment.” It’s that moment of wonder a child experiences when looking at themselves in the mirror after being painted.

“Sometimes I can get a photo of the kid, mouth open, eyes wide, as they stare at their reflection,” Miriam says. “That moment is so rewarding!”

When it comes to caricatures, it’s when the kids crack up when looking at drawings of themselves or their friends.

“Sometimes I’ll hear someone say, ‘Wow, it looks just like her!’’ Miriam laughs. “I never get tired of hearing that. It makes it all worthwhile.”

often finds that she has to redo a face after the child changes position without her noticing.

“That used to bother me,” she remembers. “I felt like I was wasting people’s precious time. But today I know that this is part of the process. As much as I can, I try to have my subjects stay in the same position, but if a drawing doesn’t come out as it should, then I’ve learned to be okay with it — and I make sure not to show the wrong one to the kid!”

PORTRAITS

A HUMAN EXPERIENCE ON PAPER

While entertainment art brings Miriam most of her business, drawing portraits is where she finds the most satisfaction.

A fellow artist once pointed out to Miriam an interesting phenomenon that occurs in photos of people: Cover one eye at a time, the woman said, and you’ll find that one eye will project sadness while the other will project joy.

“That’s true for most people,” Miriam adds, “but not for survivors. In Holocaust survivors, both eyes are sad. This concept is an unfortunate reality, but it helps an artist better connect to the subject and understand what the person is all about.”

Most people don’t have the patience to sit through a portrait painting, Miriam says. It simply takes too long. (A pencil portrait, on the other hand, takes between 30 and 40 minutes if done in person.) But while Miriam usually completes the portrait by re-

ferring to a photo, she prefers to start live so she can get the feeling of what a person is all about.

“Gedolim we know more about,” she says, “but when it comes to other subjects, it’s helpful to see them in person first.”

Indeed, most portraits commissioned are for pictures of rabbanim or gedolim.

“I once did a portrait of the Klausenberg Rebbe,” Miriam remembers, “and it was the first portrait of a rebbe I did where I felt that I really nailed it. There’s a lot going on in the Rebbe’s face, and getting it right felt so beautiful.”

Another interesting encounter came after a woman asked

Miriam to paint a picture of her husband being greeted by two big rabbanim. While the woman gave Miriam reference photos to work off, the photo that featured one of the rabbanim was out of focus. When Miriam mentioned this to the customer, the woman said that no one could get a clear picture of him.

“It’s like he had a glow that couldn’t be pinned down in a photo,” Miriam says in wonder. “This reminds us that sometimes a photo or portrait simply cannot do justice to the subject. After all, a likeness, no matter how well painted, cannot capture the absolute essence of a person.”

THE ART OF TEACHING

Today Miriam spends her evenings teaching art. Now that it’s her turn to give instruction, she’s that much more grateful to her art teachers from all those years ago.

“When we first joined that high school art class,” Miriam says, “the teacher instructed us to draw a straight line. For us, talented and skilled artists that we were, that was way below our dignity, and you can be sure we made ourselves heard!”

But today Miriam understands the benefit of beginning from scratch, and she follows the same pattern when teaching her students. She begins with the basics, including how to turn a square into a cube, a circle into a sphere, and so on.

Eventually, when her students are ready to advance to paints, they already know what she’s talking about when she refers to light, dark and mid-tone shades.

“Each painting has a drawing underneath,” Miriam explains, “so that’s where we start. My students know that when we paint, it’s not only about copying the original.”

According to Miriam, an art student should be able to draw anything anywhere, even without a teacher looking over their shoulder. Once they have the necessary skills, they should know how to apply them, and to assess for themselves whether the final product is good enough.

“Let them outgrow me,” Miriam says. “That’s a teacher’s greatest joy.”

While wine and liquor are Purim staples, it’s always fun to add something new to the mix. A cocktail is a drink that combines several ingredients, including at least one that contains alcohol. The cocktail process includes “muddling” fruit or herbs, which

is a gentle mashing technique used to release the juices of the fruit or leaf.

In keeping with the Purim spirit, here we present four delicious cocktail recipes, courtesy of Barrique. These drinks are easy enough to make at home and exquisite enough to serve as the finishing touch to a beautiful Purim seudah.

½ oz. freshly squeezed lime juice

½ oz. simple syrup

1½ oz. vodka

1½ oz. sparkling water

¾ oz. freshly squeezed lime juice

5 mint leaves

1½ oz. rum

1½ oz. sparkling water

½ oz. lime juice

1½ oz. vodka

Combine all the ingredients with ice and shake well. For a decorative garnish, add grapefruit salt rimmer to the glass, and a half slice of grapefruit on top along with some dried daisies.

Nature? Nurture? Genetics?

Other? Where does the universal love of sugar come from?

Scientists the world over have conducted countless studies to determine what influences our everyday behaviors and habits. The nature versus nurture debate is an ongoing battle.

Here we’ve tabulated the results of our own thoroughly professional polls. (How professional? Like this: Could I please ask you two questions? Yes, right here in the waiting room. It won’t take more than three minutes — four, max. Plus, your kid will be featured in The View — and so will your mother).

We spoke with several sets of three generations to compare and contrast our sugar-filled days to the sweet times of yesteryear. However, be cautioned: Perusing this article may cause your sugar cravings to become alarmingly elevated. So pop open a package of sour worms to fortify you as you take your sweet time reading what these mothers, daughters and grandchildren have to say about their favorite nosh.

Bobby C., who grew up in the ’50s and ’60s in Eretz Yisroel, remembers flavored popcorn called Simchonim. However, she also reminisced about simpler times, when homebaked rugelach and freshly picked figs were the ultimate treat. Once she moved to New York, she would occasionally be treated to a bag of potato chips for 5 cents or a refreshing ice cream for 10 cents.

Her daughter Chaya fondly remembers the Stretch Island fruit leather she enjoyed as a kid. Their family’s method of consuming this treat was to unwrap the whole fruit leather and allow it to dangle out of their mouths, puppy-tongue style, before curling it inside, one sweet bite at a time. And she would gladly join a committee to ban the existence of oversized jawbreakers and all tremendous hulks of sugar that spend way too much time partying on her kids’ teeth.

Bobby C.’s grandkids Roizy and Yachy named their favorite nosh as Tovers Filled Bites and Cherry Froozies, respectively. And if Roizy would be able to invent a nosh, it would be a bag of chips where each chip tastes different — ranging from sweet strawberry to jalapeno flavored, and any flavor profile in between. Yachy would like to invent what she’d name Pom-Pom Fluff, a sticky jelly surrounded by cotton candy that looks like a pom-pom.

I asked Bobby M. when she grew up, and she laughed and said that while she was a child in the 80s, she’s still working on growing up. She then reminisced about those prized Chew-Chews she was treated to as a kid; they were definitely her favorite and were reserved as a really special treat. Mambas were another sweet she enjoyed at the time. They were square taffies wrapped in a shiny silver paper with a picture of a fruit on each one, but unfortunately, they were capable of pulling teeth. When she was older, Juju jellies came out. They were red coin-shaped jellies the texture of today’s jelly fish, gummy bears and sour worms. At that time it was the new texture.

when we asked her daughter Blimy to name the nosh she remembers with nostalgia, the answer was... Chew-Chews! And if she had the option of banning any nosh, it would be all forms of candy spray and gel.

Bobby M.’s granddaughter Gitty extolled the humble lollipop, with blue ranking as her favorite color. And with stars in her eyes, she described the nosh she would invent: a lollipop with a hard, Kool-Aid flavored interior. Yum!

Bobby R. grew up in the ’70s and remembers discovering the joy of jelly beans, which was a totally novel experience at the time. Nowadays, she couldn’t even be tempted to touch them. However, her all-time favorite was the nowextinct bell cupcake. Sounds delicious, but I was born too late to vouch for it.

Remember those old-fashioned candy sticks that resembled a striped barber pole? Those were Bobby E.’s favorite growing up in the 1970s. A six-pack of those colorful sticks went for 10 cents. Today, Bobby E. would love to invent sugar-free Sippies since those little straws keep little mouths occupied for several minutes, making it an ideal nosh for sweet grandkids.

Miri, her daughter, says that Chew-Chews and twirly lollipops are at the top of her nostalgic nosh list. And she would love to ban each and every speck of Kool-Aid in existence.

Her daughter Liba votes in favor of Chew-Chews being her all-time favorite candy growing up. For a mere quarter, she was able to enjoy four wax-wrapped bites of sticky yumminess. Another daughter, Esty, would love to outlaw noodle soup, and if her ban fails, she says the least that should be done is to have them renamed Super Snack Dinner.

Granddaughter Rikki’s favorite nosh is tied between Whimsies in all flavors and strawberry-flavored Froozies. And if she would be able to invent a nosh, it would be a fruit basket–shaped jelly, filled with tiny fruit candies. Tempting!

Five-year-old Goldy’s all-time favorite is the super-long sour stick that comes twirled round and round like a yo-yo. I hope you get the hint, Bobby E., on how to steal Goldy’s heart.

Bobby L.’s favorite nosh growing up was a soft and chewy lollipop that was sold for 5 cents apiece, plus one penny tax. Today, if she could ban a candy item, it would be “those horrible powdered sugar pouches.”

Her daughter Frumet’s favorite is dairy butter toffees. Ever since she lost her sense of taste roughly two years ago with COVID, this is one of the few foods that still tastes good to her. She would love to invent a delicious sugarfree treat her kids would enjoy — or a coffee IV line (kidding, kidding… not?). On the flip side, Frumet would love to ban Sippies; she hates finding those little straws all over the place.

When we catch up with Bobby G., she informs us that chocolate was, is and will forever remain a favorite. And she also says that since everything has already been invented, in her humble opinion, there’s room for no more.

Granddaughter Chavi’s favorite is chocolate; in fact, she would love to invent a chocolate bar that lasts forever. In Chavi’s opinion, however, Twizzlers Bites are gross and should be discontinued.

Leah, her daughter, has always enjoyed those Swiss petite fruits that were displayed at Shabbos sheva brachos sweet tables back in her days. She would love to see them sold in small, single-serve packages as a sweet pick-me-up. Leah would also take drastic measures to prohibit the sale of candy gook disguised as innocent looking yogurt pouches.

And as conservative as this mother-daughter duo might seem in their view on sweets, the apple — or giant gumball — might have rolled a bit far from the tree… Ari’s favorite nosh is a big fizzy lollipop. And he would love to bring his dream candy into existence: a taffy the size of their dinette so that he could take off chunks every day.

Bobby B. still fondly remembers the luscious bell cupcakes sold in Frank’s Bakery for 50 cents in the 1970s. Nowadays, when she gets afflicted with a case of the munchies, she reaches for a Rosemarie Split chocolate bar or a handful of crunchy corn chips. Bobby B. thinks sour belts should be banned, since they come packaged in big containers that render the supply limitless!

Raizy, Bobby B.’s daughter, loved what was called Shokokid, a mini chocolate bar that was filled with a white milk filling. In fact, that’s what her friends got her for her eleventh birthday. They sold for 33 cents each and contained eight tiny, delectable squares per bar. Raizy can’t stand the contemporary sour candy sprays into mouths hanging open, and would totally eradicate them if she could.

And for the grandchildren: Toby’s favorite sweet is Encore chocolate, and she would love to find extremely long and soft chocolate-covered marshmallows sold in stores. Baila, on the other hand, favors sour cherry–flavored candy spray. And if she could bring a new nosh into existence, she would invent popping candy candy spray. How’s that for combining all of the latest and greatest in the candy world?

So. Our professional polls clearly show that the sweet tooth genetic factor plays a strong role in the advancements our generation has made in the candy market. No other generation has mastered the sticky, sweet, slimy, sour variety as thoroughly as our generation has. As one poll participant pontificated, “Growing up, our whole grocery was smaller than today’s nosh aisle.” In my very humble opinion, we’ve managed to achieve this much thanks only to the strong love of sugar our ancestors have so devotedly passed on to us.

Now lick your fingers clean of those last bits of sour salt, and next time you reach for a strawberry-flavored Twizzler or a handful of toffee squares, think about how you can best pass your love for sugar to the next generation.

On Purim — a time of masks and wine and vision we can’t quite trust — so much isn’t the way it seems.

In the spirit of the dizzy daze, here is a collection of photos of objects around the world that look like one thing... until you look a little closer.

by: SHEVY HOLLANDER

What do you see here? An aerial view of icy lakes and a town shrouded in snow?

This is actually a frozen puddle in someone’s backyard.

You may feel like you’re studying an expensive world’s map engraved on metal, but no, this is a water faucet with clear signs of corrosion.

Can you figure out which planet this is? Mars? Venus?

Oh, it’s just someone’s cup of coffee.

You probably feel like rescuing this baby owl, until you look a little closer and choose to stay away from the mushroom. After all, it might be poisonous.

You may think you’ve just come across a discarded cigarette, but it’s just a fallen post with a serious case of rust erosion.

Does this nostalgic pile of cassette tapes bring you back to the music of your youth? It’s actually an aerial view of buses carrying pilgrims in Mecca.

What’s with this boat? Is it half sunken? Is it some kind of sci-fi creation? Simply broken? It seems to be floating on the water all right…

Oh, but wait, it’s just a broken car antenna.

Since when are the Venice rivers this choppy? And the buildings don’t look like Italian architecture. Actually, this is not even in Europe. It’s a picture straight out of urban USA in the midst of a snowy, icy winter.

No, this is not a broccoli farm. (I know, I know, broccoli doesn’t grow like that.) But this tree sure does look like a huge broccoli floret.

It looks like someone is getting ready to prepare a heartshaped sunny-side-up for breakfast, but this is actually a peach out of the can in a puddle of syrup.

What is grandma crocheting here? But it’s not even grandma. It’s the work of a spider that has gotten snowed over.

What looks like an intricate mosaic art project in the works is actually an overhead shot of fields of rice.

Do you feel like you can’t believe your own eyes? Well, ah freilichen Purim!

DEADLINE: Sunday, March 12.

I’ve been teaching myself how to juggle clocks. I guess you could say I have a lot of time on my hands. But hard as I try, I’ve never been able to juggle successfully. I’ve tried juggling balls and I’ve tried juggling my work-life balance, but I always drop something.

THE INS AND OUTS OF JUGGLING

Juggling might seem effortless, but it requires good hand-eye coordination, focus and practice. The industry word for the objects being juggled is “props,” and these can range from different kinds of balls to fire torches, chainsaws, swords and other objects. The standard juggling trick that your little brother is trying to learn for Purim is probably what’s called “the cascade,” and is a pattern performed with an odd number of objects, with each hand alternately throwing and catching. Another common beginner’s pattern is the “shower,” which is when the balls go around in a circular pattern by being passed from hand one to hand two and then thrown in the air and caught by hand one.

JUGGLING AND WARS

Juggling has a longer history than you might think. Images of people tossing balls in the air have been found in an ancient Egyptian tomb, though juggling might have been around even before that. There are references to juggling in writings from ancient China, Ireland and Rome. In fact, juggling in ancient China was a highly regarded art, and was even used once to win a war. A famous ancient Chinese juggler, Xiong Yiliao, stepped out in the middle of a battle in 603 BC and started juggling nine balls. The enemy was so surprised and entranced that the Chinese army was able to launch a surprise attack and win the battle. Never let anyone tell you that your hobby is a waste of time; you never know when an unusual skill might come in handy (also, I think we should try this method in modern wars).

ORIGIN OF JUGGLING

There are a few opinions on the origin of the word “juggle.” Some say it comes from the Middle English word jogelen, which means to perform or entertain. Another option might be the French word jogler, which means to joke or jest. The use of juggle to mean “continually tossing and catching objects” began in the late 19th century.

LONGEST TIME JUGGLING THREE BALLS:

12 hours and 5 minutes

GREATEST NUMBER OF BALLS JUGGLED AT ONCE:

11 balls with 23 consecutive catches

GREATEST NUMBER OF CONSECUTIVE SIDE BY SIDE JUGGLING CATCHES:

Another form of juggling is having a team of two people juggle a set of balls together. The record for the most catches by a team of two is 901, and was achieved in Lisbon, Portugal, in April 2021. (Look at that, some people were accomplishing things during COVID.)

GREATEST NUMBER OF PEOPLE JUGGLING SIMULTANEOUSLY:

The 1,508 attendees of the European Juggling Convention (yes, it’s a real thing) held in Scotland in 1998 juggled simultaneously, setting a record for the largest group of people juggling together. For a grand ten seconds, each of the participants juggled at least three objects.

BOUNCING THROUGH THE AGES

In the Middle Ages and the Renaissance era, many noblemen and monarchs employed jesters — colorfully dressed people who entertained the crowds at large events and dinners. Their routines usually consisted of singing, comedy, and of course, juggling and other tricks. They were similar to specialty performers today who are hired to perform at parties or events.

In the same time period, traveling jugglers would go from city to city performing juggling and magic acts in the streets and marketplaces, like street performers do today. These jugglers

were mistrusted by the general population, as people were very wary of those who claimed to have magical powers. Jugglers didn’t even have the same legal rights as most citizens, and they were often persecuted. It took until the end of the Middle Ages for public opinion on jugglers to become more positive.

In the 1760s, jugglers began appearing as acts in circuses. Proper circuses were born in England and came to the United States in 1793, when an English circus equestrian, John Bill Ricketts, opened the first American circus in Philadelphia. He became known for juggling and acrobatics that he performed while on horseback. He even performed in front of President George Washington and his successor John Adams.

RECORDED FOR POSTERITY

SAVED BY A DREAM

CHAVY RAPAPORT, 11TH GRADE, BNOS HIGH SCHOOL

My great-grandfather, Reb Yona Tzvi Herzog, z”l, survived the war years by constantly running and hiding.

At one point, my great-grandparents were hidden by a righteous gentile family at great risk to their own lives. They had a bunker in the cellar and a wood storage shed in the backyard where they stored wood for heating their home in the cold winters. At first, my great-grandfather spent most of his time in the bunker. But eventually it became too claustrophobic and stuffy so he opted to hide in the shed.

On Pesach that year, Seder night fell out on Friday night. That night he fell asleep, and his mother appeared to him in a dream, warning him that from this coming Tuesday on, he should not go to the shed.

This dream repeated itself three times. After that, he told the gentile woman what had happened, and she took the situation very seriously. She told him, “Something you dream on a Friday night is bound to happen and shouldn’t be taken lightly.”

On Tuesday, as my great-grandfather was heading out to the shed, the woman realized that it was Tuesday and ran after him yelling, “It’s Tuesday! It’s Tuesday! Don’t go to the shed!!” My great-grandfather quickly returned to the bunker. Shortly afterward, they heard a loud explosion. When they went to check what happened, they realized a bomb had fallen on the shed!

Years later, when my great-grandfather was able to go back, he loudly proclaimed the bracha of she’asah li nes bamakom hazeh!
