THE REFUAH STANDARD During this time of celebration, let us reflect on those who devote themselves to keeping us healthy so we can enjoy every Yom Tov and every season in good health. Get an inside glimpse of the inner workings of RefuahHealth with specialists Dr. Bennett, Dr. Rudolph and Dr. Silber

GET AN INSIDE GLIMPSE OF THE INNER WORKINGS OF R E F U A H H E A LT H W I T H D O C TO R S , D R . E L L I E B E N N E T T, D R . E D WA R D R U D O L P H , AND DR. ANGELA SILBER.

THE REFUAH STANDARD. The tall, sprawling building with its distinctive architecture and glistening windows, towers above the trees that surround its beautifully manicured grounds and spacious parking lot. RefuahHealth Center, a landmark provider of medical care, has been an integral part of the community it serves since it was founded in 1992. So much has been said about RefuahHealth, but no one quite knows a place like the people who work there. Our un�ltered, open conversations with three providers at RefuahHealth gave us a unique insider’s view to what can only be described as an extraordinary Health Center. One that continues to innovate and lead in the space and is determined to provide the best, comprehensive care for the patients they care so deeply about.

Dr. Ellie Bennett MD, Internist Internal and Emergency Medicine

“I love working at Refuah. I work here because I want to, not because I need to.” Dr. Bennett is animated as he shares his experience working at RefuahHealth. Meet Dr. Ellie Bennett. Passionate doctor, community activist and long-time member of Hatzalah, he is a man devoted to his patients and his community. Dual board certi�ed in internal and emergency medicine, Dr. Bennett has been in the medical �eld since 2002, and brings a wealth of experience from his time in major trauma centers, community hospitals, and managing his private practice, to his current role at RefuahHealth. “I became a doctor in order to help people. At Refuah I can help my patients in a way that I’m not able to anywhere else even in my own practice.” Dr. Bennett explains. He goes on to elaborate on the comprehensive care available to all patients. He points out that because RefuahHealth has so many services available and access to top doctors, patients have seemless access to the doctors and treatments they need avoiding bureaucratic red tape and long wait times. “Let me give you an example,” Dr Bennett continues enthusiastically. He recounts the story of a patient he met

one day at Refuah. It was immediately apparent that this patient hadn’t seen a doctor in a long time and urgently needed to see a cardiologist. “ I was able to go to the front desk and arrange an appointment with a top cardiologist right here at Refuah for the very next day. Not only that, the patient was able to get all the necessary lab work and an EKG done immediately. When he saw the cardiologist the following day, all the test results were ready and he was able to start treatment right away.” “This simply doesn’t happen anywhere else. Only at Refuah.” Dr. Bennett passionately concludes. As we talk, a picture emerges of a state-of-the-art, beautifully maintained health center that o�ers top level care to its many patients. That somehow, although it is a large, bustling health center, servicing thousands of patients, they still manage to provide dedicated, personalized care to every patient at a level usually reserved for private physicians.

Dr. Edward Rudolph DDS, Dentist Dental Clinical Director

With his kind, professional demeanor, Dr. Edward Rudolph, a practicing dentist since 2012, is one of the most widely known doctors, or rather dentists, at RefuahHealth. Respected for his dental expertise and appreciated by his patients for his gentle, expert care, Dr. Rudolph is an integral part of the RefuahHealth system and the community he cares for. “I became a dentist because I wanted to help people.” Dr. Rudolph shares. “I love working at Refuah, because here I have what I need to actually do that.” He goes on to explain that he’s not just talking about the cutting edge equipment and beautiful facility. It's about the incredibly devoted support sta�, the top notch team of dentists he feels privileged to work with, and the highly responsive administration that are quick to resolve any issues and work hard to �nd solutions to serve the community better.

“Superior care is standard here at Refuah.” Dr. “The community is wonderful!” he enthuses, “I’ve known many Bennett emphatically declares. “Refuah is a of my patients for a very long time which is a joy for me, but also Health Center run by the frum community for a great advantage for them. It allows our team at Refuah to 845.354.9300 / REFUAHHEALTH.ORG the frum community. They understand the provide excellent continuous care. Because we have access to needs of this community and are always their dental history and records, we can work on preventing Spring Valley: 728 N. Main Street // 5 Twin Avenue Hillcrest: 205 Airport Executive Park working to expand and improve the issues as well as quickly treating any problems that do arise.” South Fallsburg: 36 Laurel Avenue // Liberty: 1885 NY-52 exceptional care they o�er their patients.”

DR. BENNETT ATTENTIVELY CARES FOR HIS PATIENTS AT REFUAHHEALTH IN SOUTH FALLSBURG, NY. THE UPSTATE LOCATION IS OPEN YEAR-ROUND.

Besides regular o�ce hours, the dental o�ce is there to handle any dental emergencies and ease the pain of their patients. Whether it's Erev Rosh Hashanah, Erev Pesach or another hectic time, despite being busy themselves, RefuahHealth's exceptional team of dentists led by Dr. Rudolph, put in extra hours to make sure all their patients are taken care of.

always do, the dentist consulted with him to get his opinion. Dr. Rudolph concurred with the dentist's assessment and realized the urgent need to impress upon the patient the urgency of the situation, but without scaring him. He did so with sensitivity and care, followed up with the patient to make sure he’s ok and helped him communicate with the other doctors to make sure he got the help he needed.

“Many of my patients actually have my personal cell number.” Dr Rudolph divulges. “ If they’ve had more extensive or complicated work done, I will follow up with them later at home to make sure they’re okay.”

Under the leadership and tutelage of Dr. Rudolph, every dentist at RefuahHealth is known for their thoughtful patient management and the highest standards of care. It is Dr. Rudolph who establishes protocols and guides the team, so that every patient who walks through the door receives the best dental care, whether he sees him personally or not.

In fact, unbeknown to most, long after all the patients have left, the team will sit together and discuss treatment strategy and patient care. Dr. Rudolph and the others always go the extra mile to save a patient's tooth or ensure a good outcome, even when other dentists would have given up. Another touching story is how a di�erent dentist on the team discovered an abnormality on a standard x-ray. As they

“The administration is always working to �nd a better solution to expand our capacity and increase the amount of patients we can see.” Dr. Rudolph says. “ I know it’s hard. But it's de�nitely worth the wait. Hopefully we’ll have a solution soon and everyone will be able to access the exceptional dental care at Refuah.”

Care4Her

Dr. Angela Silber

MD, OB GYN, MFM Director of MFM

Dr. Angela Silber, a highly respected OB GYN and Perinatologist since 2007, joined RefuahHealth as part of a collaboration between Westchester Medical Center and RefuahHealth to provide specialized perinatal and maternal care for the women of our community. “It’s been a wonderful collaborative experience. “ Dr. Silber shares. “Refuah understands the needs of their patients and works hard to provide extraordinary, personalized care.” As an accomplished Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist (MFM), Dr. Silber o�ers a level of care that is in a league of its own. She and her team can provide treatment and care that a regular high risk OB GYN simply couldn't deliver. Under Dr. Silber's direction, the services o�ered by the women’s health center at RefuahHealth have indeed evolved as the need for di�erent treatments and services became apparent. An infusion center to provide treatment for anemia, allows patients to avoid the hospital and receive any treatments needed in one convenient location. Care4her, an after-hours urgent care for women, has made waves in the community and essentially revolutionized the level of care available to women. “We supervise the sta� that’s here after-hours and we set the standards of care across the board to make sure that every woman gets the best possible care, no matter what time of the day she comes into Refuah.” Dr. Silber determines. “Our goal is to provide the best possible care to our patients while respecting their needs and personal wishes.” remarks Dr. Silber. “ It’s why we are highly supportive of doula care and will do everything we can to avoid inductions.” The positive feedback and numerous referrals from satis�ed patients speak volumes about the impact of Refuah's women's health services.

“REFUAH UNDERSTANDS THE NEEDS OF THEIR PATIENTS AND WORKS HARD TO PROVIDE EXTRAORDINARY, PERSONALIZED CARE.” It’s truly remarkable. The doctors we interviewed each work in completely di�erent departments of the RefuahHealth Center. Yet somehow, during our conversations there were two recurring common themes that stood out. First; how passionate they all felt about their calling as a doctor and how much they enjoy working at RefuahHealth and with the community. It is obvious that RefuahHealth works hard to provide their doctors and sta� with what they need, giving them the access and tools they require to provide exceptional care to their patients. But most importantly, it became apparent just how much RefuahHealth cares about their patients and how they’ll stop at nothing to deliver the best possible care. From the moment a patient becomes part of RefuahHealth Center, they gain access to comprehensive, quality health care that simply does not exist anywhere else.

“I come from a family of physicians,” Dr. Silber recounts. An unparalleled range of services, smooth “What I see here at Refuah, reminds me of the stories that I collaboration between departments, and a heard from my grandmother, an exceptional doctor in her dedicated administration who are singularly own right, about the personal level of care that doctors used committed to providing the best possible care to to be able to provide.” 845.354.9300 / REFUAHHEALTH.ORG every patient that steps through the doors. It's something that every person deserves to “It’s incredible that Refuah can deliver a similar experience Valley: Hillcrest: 205only Airport Executive Park experience, yet can be found at RefuahHealth to their patients even whileSpring operating on 728 suchN.aMain largeStreet scale // 5 Twin Avenue Fallsburg: 36 Laurel Avenue // Liberty: 1885 NY-52 Center. and while caring for so manySouth people.” she concludes.

THE SOLUTION IS IN YOUR HANDS

(Re: The School of Life, Your Say, Issue 444) To the Mother of School-Age Girls Who Is Also a Principal, As an experienced teacher and mother myself, I found myself nodding along as I read your letter. It’s so frustrating to come to school every day (after a busy evening preparing today’s lessons and cooking and cleaning for Yom Tov), only to have five empty desks staring back at me. This means that tomorrow, five earnest Yiddishe girls will be frantically waving their hands in confusion, unable to follow along because they missed an entire day’s worth of material. That means I’ll have to spend time reviewing what we covered the day before… only to have to repeat the whole process the next day for all the other kids who are absent now. I’m a Yiddishe mother just like the rest of you, and I have loads to do at home. We tear ourselves away from our family responsibilities only to teach your daughters. But it seems the mothers don’t really care. They’d rather keep their girls home. Similarly, can you imagine how we feel the day after Yom Tov, when we are exhausted, and drag ourselves to school anyway, only to find that literally half the class is missing? On the other hand, I can also relate to the mothers who need the time to take care of important errands with their daughters. So I turn to you, esteemed principal. Maybe the solution is in your hands. If the mothers want the children home, and the teachers are struggling to teach with so many missing students, maybe there shouldn’t be school on the erevs and motzeis? Our job is to teach our students. But if our students are not in class, why are we here? A Yiddishe Mother Who Is Also a Teacher

A DESIGNATED DAY

(Re: The School of Life, Your Say, Issue 444) I read the letter written by the principal who decries parents taking their daughters out of school to shop in the pre-Yom Tov season. I am one of those mothers. To be honest, it never occurred to me that my daughter’s absence is disruptive to the teacher and class. I also didn’t realize that so many other people do this. I thought it was just me. THE MONSEY VIEW WELCOMES YOUR COMMENTS, FEEDBACK AND LETTERS. EMAIL: comments@themonseyview.com

Now that I understand the principal’s perspective, I have a solution to suggest. The schools should give a day off that is designated for Pesach preparations a few weeks before Yom Tov. I have a sister-in-law in Lakewood who told me that her daughter’s school schedules an “in service” day for teacher training every year before Yom Tov. There are no classes, and she takes her daughters shopping that day. It sounds like a wonderful solution. If the teachers can get the day off too, then that’s even better. Thank you, A Reader

YOUR SAY LINE ETIQUETTE

First, thank you for this beautiful magazine. As a busy and working mother, I really appreciate the weekly parsha article. I love being informed about the parsha and learning these beautiful lessons. I know that by the time this letter goes to print, most of the Pesach shopping will already be behind us, but I still want to raise awareness about this matter. This season, I’ve noticed women “saving” their place in line in different stores, and running around elsewhere while the line inched forward. I agree that the lines are long, and that you “may as well” accomplish things while you wait, but think about all those people standing there and waiting. Do you know what it feels like when you think it’s finally your time to pay/be fitted/served, and three more women, who’ve had their places “saved” in front of you, appear out of nowhere? Of course, if there’s an emergency, feel free to ask if it’s okay that you go ahead in front of me, but do remember to ask all of the other people waiting in front of you, as well. The person in the front of the line can’t speak for all of the others waiting behind her. A Bothered Shopper

WE ONLY USE CRYSTAL BECHERS FOR THE ARBA KOSES. THE TABLE ACTUALLY LOOKS REALLY PRETTY WHEN THE BECHERS ARE FULL AS WE ONLY USE HEIMISH MUST AND IT’S A GORGEOUS SHADE OF PINK. – S. Parchi

We end the Seder by singing some of the Nirtzah songs in other languages. The little ones are put to bed, and the Seder is mostly cleared away. Then the older children gather around the head of the table to sing. It’s a lighthearted, uplifting way to conclude the Seder.

Before starting Maggid, the head of the Seder walks around carrying the matzah on his back while showing all kids and grandkids how our ancestors left Mitzrayim. Some of the other men and children follow behind while chanting along.

The head of the household does not wear a kittel for the Seder (he does wear one on Rosh Hashanah). And we use only machine matzah over Pesach, including at the Sedarim. We use three matzos for each level of the ke’arah (three for Kohen, three for Levi, three for Yisroel).

– Ansbacher Family

MY FATHER BUYS LOTS OF SMALL TOYS TO ILLUSTRATE THE MAKKOS AT THE SEDER, LIKE SMALL FROGS AND ANIMALS. IT’S ALWAYS VERY INTERESTING AND FUN. — F. Jacobowitz

When I got married I was really surprised that at my wife’s family’s Seder, only the rosh hamishpacha says the Haggadah out loud, as I was used to having everyone say it out loud together. An interesting minhag in my family is to pour a kos for everyone, even a baby that can’t drink it yet (and we pour the makkos for them, as well).

– A. Friedman

At my husband’s family’s Seder, it’s not just the head of the Seder and the kids who each have a turn saying the Mah Nishtanah out loud. Everyone does, including the teenagers and married women. My first Pesach at my in-laws sure had me feeling self- conscious as the table got quiet and it was my turn to recite it!

– Shany L.

Our minhag is to place the simanim of the ke’arah directly on the matzoh, and the three matzos get piled one on top of the other, with nothing in between. So we stack three matzos, put the simanim on top, and cover everything with the matzah dekel. – H. Frankel

ALL THE MEN HAVE A KE’ARAH AT THEIR PLACE, NOT ONLY THE BAAL HASEDER. – F.W.

At our Seder, my father says the entire Haggadah with the translation in Yiddish, and he explains everything in detail so the kids understand it.

PESACH The Right Address

Y. Levenstein

In the city of Brisk lived a man named Reb Yisrael Nisenstruk. Besides his great wealth, he was known as a great talmid chacham — a paradigm of Torah u’gedulah b’makom echad. It was an elevated Shabbos, spent in a spirit of kedusha. Reb There came a time that the wheel turned, and Reb Yisrael lost his entire fortune. Try as he might, he could not stabilize Yisrael was overflowing with divrei Torah and words of inspiration that left the Baron open-mouthed. his finances. On Motzei Shabbos, Baron Rothschild called over his guest. As an attempt to regain his footing, he decided to request a loan from the world-renowned Baron Rothschild in London. “Tell me, how much money did you have in the good days?” Reb Yisrael was quiet for several moments, mentally calHe wasted no time and immediately sold an ornate piece of silver still in his collection. He left half the profit behind with culating his former assets. When he named a figure, the Barhis wife, so she and the children would have what they need- on immediately went to a side room and returned with the ed while he was away, and used the remainder for his trip to amount in full. “Here,” he said, “take this as my gift to you.” England. Reb Yisrael was flabbergasted by the unexpected windfall. After several weeks of travel, Reb Yisrael arrived in London. He asked around, trying to find out how he could meet Then he noticed a slip of paper attached to the cash. On it was with Baron Rothschild, and he soon learned that on a par- the Baron’s name and address. He immediately expressed his heartfelt gratitude and addticular day of the week, at a certain spot, the baron would reed, “I will mail the Baron a thank you card now that I have ceive solicitors.

Several assistants of the Baron were distributing coins to anyone who stretched out his hand.

Hashem gave us the “address” where we can reach Him. Whenever we have a difficulty, we know where to turn: Yetzias Mitzrayim its detail, every year on Leil HaSeder. This night gives us a boost for the entire year. We also have a mitzvah to remember Yetzias Mitzrayim every single day of the year: “So that you shall remember the day when you went out of the land of Mitzrayim all the days of your life” (Devarim 16:3). In the very first of the Aseres Hadibros, Hashem says, “I am Hashem, your G-d, Who took you out of the Land of Mitzrayim” (Shemos 20:2). Hakadosh Baruch Hu wants us to live and breathe Yetzias Mitzrayim throughout the year and throughout our lives. Hashem gave us the “address” where we can reach Him. Whenever we have a difficulty, we know where to turn: Yetzias Mitzrayim. When reminding ourselves of this defining moment in our formative state as a nation, we automatically come to realize that everything that happens in this world — every natural and supernatural occurrence — comes from Hashem. He is the Boss of it all; He is the Kol Yachol. He is the only One for us to turn to. When we turn to Hakadosh Baruch Hu, He will respond by showering us with miracles. David Hamelech says, “Zecher asah l’nifla’osav, chanun v’rachum Hashem — He made a memorial for His wonders; Hashem is gracious and merciful” (Tehillim 111:4). What is the connection between the beginning and end of this pasuk? Hakadosh Baruch Hu, in His great love for us, established the yamim tovim as a remembrance to the nissim done for us in Mitzrayim. On Pesach, we repeat the nissim of Yetzias Mitzrayim, and through this we remember Hashem — that He is the One creating miracles for us always. Thus, the “zecher,” the Yom Tov, brings us to “chanun v’rachum” as we turn to Him and beg Him to bring us miracles like He did for our ancestors. The remembrance of the nissim reminds us of the “address” we should be turning to.

Did You Know? The Targum Yomasan writes that on the 14th day of Nissan, Erev Pesach, the day when Yitzchok wanted to give Eisav the brachos, Yitzchok called to Eisav and said, “My son, this night is exalted, a special night. All beings Above praise Hashem and the treasures of Heaven are open. I can feel that brachos will come to fruition on this night.” Indeed, throughout the generations, Yidden merited special nissim on this night.

Three Sifrei Torah Destroyed as Pomona Heights Shul Ravaged by Fire Early morning flames ripped through a shul in Pomona Heights, completely destroying the building. No injuries were reported. The April 17 fire at 34 N Ridge Road was caused by a propane tank explosion. Pictures of the 5:45 a.m. blaze show flames shooting out of the roof of the building, which was completely consumed. Emergency teams were unable to retrieve the Sifrei Torah because of the intensity of the fire. Hopes that they would survive because they were stored in a fireproof safe were dashed hours later when emergency officials authorized Chaverim to open the safe. All three Torahs were damaged beyond repair, with Chaverim coordinator Yossi Margaretten telling The Monsey View that they were ruined by the extreme heat, which melted the klaf in some places, and by the water used to douse the flames. The shul is known as Chassidim at 110, and is located at the corner of Overlook Road. The property had been previously owned by Dr. Zev Zelenko, who made headlines during Covid for his treatment protocols that reportedly saved hundreds of lives, eventually capturing the attention of President Donald Trump. A levaya was held for the Sifrei Torah outside the remains of the shul on April 18. In addition to Tehillim and divrei chizuk, the levaya also featured the first letters being written in a new Torah that will be used in the shul when it is rebuilt.

Refuah Parking Its Health Mobile in Kaser Over Pesach While the many days of Shabbos and Yom Tov can be a break from regular routine for some, medical emergencies can occur all day, every day. Understanding that reality, Refuah Health Center will have a mobile medical center parked in Kaser 254

throughout Pesach. The Refuah mobile emergency van will be located at 20 Ashel Lane for medical emergencies. The van is expected to be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. over Pesach, but since that schedule may be adjusted, area residents are advised to check with local patrols over Yom Tov to confirm exact timing.

Chaverim Search and Rescue Finds Missing Hikers It was a scary evening for a Monsey couple who got lost while hiking a local trail, and found themselves stranded in the dark when they were unable to correct their course. The incident took place on April 14, with a call for help coming into Chaverim’s office at approximately 7:30 p.m. Chaverim coordinator Yossi Margaretten activated the group’s search and rescue team, with concerns mounting as a storm hit and rain fell on the area. “We were concerned for them,” Margaretten told The Monsey View. “People tend to get scared up there when it rains.” After getting information on the trail that the couple had taken, Chaverim’s specialized volunteers went out at 8:30 p.m., bringing the two back safely an hour later. “They had been going in circles for five hours,”said Margaretten. “Baruch Hashem, we found them.”

Electeds Declare War on Potholes Winter’s cold and ice wreak havoc on roadways each year, and two local officials are stepping up to the plate, doing their part to expedite repairs on the many potholes in our area. In Ramapo, Supervisor Michael Specht announced that the New York State Department of Transportation agreed to begin attacking larger potholes on state roads. Teams from the DOT were in Monsey on April 11 to inspect state roadways, with repairs to be prioritized. Specht lauded the Rockland County and Ramapo highway

departments for proactively addressing problems on county and town roadways, and encouraged town residents to report any potholes they encounter to his office. Taking a broader view, Senator Bill Weber launched a pothole campaign of his own, setting up an online platform on his New York State Senate webpage where residents can report potholes. “Every pothole reported is a step towards safer streets for all,” Weber was quoted as saying. Weber’s office will forward any reports received to the proper agency so that the problem can be resolved without delay. “This campaign isn’t about assigning blame,” explained Weber. “It’s about fostering collaboration to address a pressing issue in our community. By working together, we can expedite the repair process and ensure our roads are safe and smooth for everyone.”

Winter may have just barely made its exit, but Albany has been looking ahead to the summer, with Governor Kathy Hochul announcing that $22 million has been allocated to bring air conditioners to households that meet state medical and income requirements. The units are being provided through the Home Energy Assistance Program, more commonly known as HEAP, and will be overseen by the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance. Air conditioners will be given to households that include someone with a documented medical condition that can be exacerbated by heat, as well as those with members who are over 60 or under six years of age. Announcing the program on April 16, Hochul said that she expects it to serve more than 27,000 households. More than $17 million in HEAP funding was used last year to benefit over 21,000 households. Approximately 67,000 households have received cooling assistance through the program since 2019. “It’s vital that we recognize the significant health risks extreme heat poses for New Yorkers with certain medical conditions, as well as young children and seniors,” said the governor. “This program helps at-risk households to stay safe and cool at home during severe heat spells, and I encourage those who may be eligible for this potentially life-saving assistance to apply before the summer arrives.” The application period runs from now through August 31, or until the funding for the program runs out. Eligible individuals must meet income requirements, which vary by household size. Applications are being accepted at the Rockland County Department of Social Services, Building L, or can be submitted by phone at 845-364-3480 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday through Friday.

It was the kind of conversation that hung heavy with expectation, with excitement, with commitment. The bachur the shadchan was describing was – finally – everything we were looking for. But there was a catch. He had a problem with his liver. “It isn’t serious,” said the shadchan when she spoke to my mother, “but you’d need to do some research before looking into this, and definitely speak to his doctor.” There was a pause. “How does this liver issue affect him?” my mother asked.

The Monsey View

“He takes medication every single day,” the shadchan said. “As long as he takes his meds, his liver function is great. In theory, he could live his whole life on meds, his parents say, even though many people with this condition do end up needing a liver transplant. But obviously, no one can make any guarantees for the future.” My mother reached out to the doctor, and after they spoke, I spent some time thinking. This bachur had seemed right for me in so many ways, and I wasn’t getting any younger. I’d already been in the parsha for a while, and it had been a very long time since something this interesting had been redt. As for his health? I deeply believed what I told my mother before deciding to move ahead with the shidduch. “Mommy, I can marry the healthiest guy in the country. But if Hashem wants me to have a sick husband, then even the healthiest person in the world can be in an awful car accident the day after the wed-

first began experiencing unusual swelling. I was getting ready to go to work one morning when my husband told me that he had made an appointment to see a regular family doctor. “Okay, good idea,” I said, stuffing some fruits into my bag. “Let me know what he says.” I went off to work, blessedly unprepared for the call that came an hour later. “The doctor wants me to go to the ER,” Gavi said, his voice laced with disbelief. Professor Lowenstein, my husband’s regular hepatologist, agreed. “All right,” I said to him. “You go on in, and I’ll come into Yerushalayim after work and meet you at the hospital.” Chewing the inside of my cheek, I went back to work and tried to focus. But long before the end of my work day, my phone rang again. I left the office and went outside. The trees swayed gently, and an early winter chill nipped at me. Was Gavi crying? “We need to talk,” he said. “I left the office; I’m with you,” I replied. “They’re admitting me,” he said, and I realized that I’d never heard him so upset. “They said they need to drain the fluid and run some tests. And… and they said they’re going to be keeping me overnight…” “I’m on my way,” I said, and I could hear his relief when he thanked me. I clocked out and just left, without saying a word to anyone. At home, I quickly packed an overnight bag and ran to catch a bus. We lived in Beit Shemesh, and by public transportation, the Jerusalem hospital was over an hour away. We were there for one night and most of the next day. They drained the excess fluid that had accumulated in Gavi’s body, did an ultrasound, and ran an urgent MRI. When the doctor came in to go over the results of the testing, I sensed, before he even opened his mouth, that the last year had been a gift. Some intuitive part deep inside of me whispered that our first year together had been a special gift from Hashem, and that things were about to start changing.

He’s stable right now, and he might be stable Y PART OF M for a long, long time.” There was no shortage of stoHEY’LL T , E R U T U ries of people who’d been in perF fect health until they no longer were in perfect health.

WHO I MA My parents spoke to our rav, and we received the green light. I clearly remember the relief I felt when I heard that we could go ahead with the shidduch. My neshamah was definitely pulling me toward our joint future. The shidduch moved forward, and faster than I could blink, Gavi Rosen and I were engaged to be married. * * * * *

After our vort, Gavi asked me what I was feeling about his condition. I was honest. “This seems manageable. I can’t escape anything Hashem has planned for me; if medical issues are part of my tikkun, part of my future, they’ll be there regardless of who I marry.” I was completely calm. Gavi told me that he was very uncomfortable with other people knowing about his condition, as he hated the thought of being pitied. He asked if I could avoid sharing this information with other people, and I respectfully agreed. We got married a few months later, just as fall was fading into winter, and had a wonderful, normal, healthy shanah rishonah. Six months in, Gavi went in for his biannual checkup with his hepatologist, his liver specialist, and everything looked great. We even went on a short trip and had a wonderful time, filling an album with pictures of our experiences. It was around our first anniversary when Gavi

The only thing that indicated that this wasn’t a typical pediatrician’s office was a demure plaque that read, Dr. Daniella Kogel, Psychiatrist. She should really be grateful. They were only here to figure out the right medication for Zevi to help him with his ADHD. But still. Brandweins didn’t do psychiatrists, regardless of how normalized mental health treatment had become. Chavi parked Zevi at the fish tank and went up to the receptionist to sign in. And pay, of course. She should be immune to these offices by now, but her face still burned as she wrote the check for five hundred dollars. Because, of course, the doctor best

The receptionist was on the phone and smiled at her in a frazzled sort of way. There was someone yelling loudly on the other end of the line, clearly in the throes of a mental health crisis. She accepted the check and covered the mouthpiece to whisper her thanks. Chavi nodded and went to sit with Zevi. While Zevi knocked on the fish tank to get the orange fish to swim toward him, Chavi’s phone rang. She knew the number by now. It was Jaunita from the billing department at TheraRide. Her finger hovered on the ignore button. She pressed it. There was a limit to how much she could handle in one morning. A minute later, her phone rang

“You’re better than me — heh?” Tony turned to look if the supervisor was watching before jabbing Yoel in the ribs The leaf blower was heavier than it looked, and he almost buckled. The fuel sloshed in its dirty white tank as he struggled to lift it, and the weight of the blower pulled his shirt back, almost choking him. He was lucky he’d been exercising to let off some steam throughout the winter. Only when he got to the far end of the grassy field did he turn the switch on. The noise was so sudden and so loud, his entire body vibrated. The leaves started blowing right into his face, and he closed his eyes quickly as they began to tear, but not before he noticed something on four legs scramble away. Right behind him, Tony in the MAGA T-shirt was holding his sides. He’d also chosen a leaf blower, and Yoel assumed it was because he wanted to stick with him. “You’re more familiar with a shtickel Gemara than this, right?” he yelled over the horrendous noise. Yoel stayed silent and nudged a pile of leaves with his shoes. “So you think you’re better than me?” Yup. I absolutely do. He was about to say just that when he realized that it simply wasn’t true. He was worse off than Tony. He had a paunch, for one. He was old, for two. And he didn’t know a soul except for this angry Jewish teenager. “I don’t.” Yoel swallowed. “Believe me, I don’t.” Had he just put himself in the same category as Tony? “Good, so pull your mask down, and I’ll show you the ropes. And my real name is Tuli.” Tuli walked him around the perimeter of the park, pointing out where the rats hung out and where the cats and their kittens lived. “Slept here a bunch of times, so I know the place,” he explained matter-of-factly. Yoel looked at the boy. A wisp of a thing, not a day older than Menachem, and he’d been through so much. Tuli was eager to talk, and he shared all the pain, the bullying, the neglect he’d been through as a child. It was hard to hear above the sound of the leaf blower, so Tuli yelled. Yoel listened, and in exchange, Tuli helped him gather the leaves into a pile. Together, the job became more manageable. “Tuli,” he said once the two hours were over. “Just so you know, if you get your life together, I have a job waiting for you.” He handed him a hundred dollar bill and scribbled his number on a piece of paper. Then he asked for Tuli’s phone number in return. Tuli’s hands trembled as they exchanged phone numbers. Finally, Yoel struggled out of the backpack, his back on fire and his feet protesting painfully. Only 58 hours to go. TO BE CONTINUED…

SAVING TYRONE AND JESSICA YET ANOTHER NECHOMAS YISROEL SUCCESS STORY

Gary was at the end of his rope. This wasn’t the American dream he’d envisioned. Far from it. He had been raised in a traditional Jewish family in New Jersey, yet had drifted away from his parents’ lifestyle back in college. He married Cheryl, who hailed from a modern-Orthodox family, and they settled a few towns away from his childhood home. They had two wonderful children, Jessica and Tyrone, who were enrolled in the local public school. Gary had high hopes for his children, who would be fulfilling the all-American dream. The couple was doing well for themselves. Gary had a decent job as an IT specialist, while Cheryl was a reading specialist. They bought a house with a picket fence, owned a dog, a cat, and a pet parakeet, and enjoyed a family vacation each summer. Gary and Cheryl hoped to see their children grow up to be upstanding, refined members of society-- but it wasn’t quite working out that way. Most of Jessica’s classmates came from single-parent homes, and a few were members of a local gang. One of Tyrone’s friends had been arrested for shoplifting, and another was under probation for selling illegal substances. Gary and Cheryl were devastated when their childrens’ behaviors began to slide, when they lost interest in their studies, and started hanging out with friends on the weekends, engaging in destructive behavior. They tried threats, time-outs, and bribery, but the preteens just laughed in their faces. “Everyone is partying, dad,” said Tyrone in a mocking voice. “You’re ancient.” “Who needs an education?” Cheryl seconded. “I’d much rather have a good time.” This educated secular couple, who had invested so much into their children’s future, realized that the local public school left much to be desired, that their children were growing up without a moral compass, without any standards or values. He observed, with envy, the religious families in his town, witnessing their childrens’ superior behavior, their innate respect for their parents, and the refinement with which they dressed and conducted themselves. “I wish we can send to the local Hebrew school,” he mused to Cheryl. “Perhaps then I can hope that they will be productive members of society.” Although they yearned to send their children to Hebrew school, the tuition was not in their budget. But then came the horrific attacks of October 7, and suddenly the local public school became a cauldron of seething hate and ugly anti-Semitic behavior. Jessica and Tyrone, who had never hidden their Jewish roots, were picked on, called “baby killers” and other degrading names. Even worse, the school administration turned a blind eye to these attacks, telling Gary that there was nothing they could do, and that the students were free to express themselves, as per the American Constitution. Gary was at the end of his rope—but then salvation came from

an unlikely source. A friend of a friend recommended that he call Rabbi Moshe Friedman, the son of Rav Usher Friedman, founder of Nechomas Yisroel, who had recently visited their small town. “Rabbi Friedman can enroll your children in yeshiva at a highly subsidized rate,” said the acquaintance. “I transferred my two sons last week, and they are doing amazingly well.” It seemed like an impossible dream, but then everything fell into place. Gary wasted no time in contacting Rabbi Friedman, who set up an appointment for the following week. Though Jessica was skeptical, Tryone was very eager to switch to yeshiva. As the family was contemplating the move, Jessica came home from school with a bloody nose—a gang member had given her a sucker punch, calling her a dirty Jew, and she was done with school. Today, less than three months later, both Jessica and Tyrone are happily enrolled in the local Hebrew Day School, receiving intensive tutoring, paid for by Nechomas Yisroel, to bring them up to grade level. Gary and Cheryl have no words to express their gratitude to the dedicated Nechomas Yisroel askanim, including Rav Chaim Kugelman and Rabbi Moshe Friedman, who have literally restored their childrens’ lives, and given them renewed hope for the future. Jessica and Tryone are just two of thousands of Jewish children, who were trapped in the moral abyss of public school, unable to save themselves. For the past few months, Rabbi Friedman has been traveling across the length and breadth of the US, meeting dozens of day school administrators and principals, trying to ﬁnd places for the thousands of precious Jewish children who are begging to be allowed to go to yeshiva. “Ever since the tragic terror attacks of October 7, the public school system has become intolerable for Jewish children,” Rabbi Friedman passionately explains. “Instead of looking for children to enroll, they are coming to us, begging us to help them. This is an unprecedented opportunity!” This past year alone, 2400 new children were enrolled in yeshivos and Bais Yaakovs, with 360 children from one neighborhood near Hollywood, Florida! Today, the organization has children enrolled in 192 schools and yeshivos across the US, with an annual budget of over three million dollars in tuition payments. Nechomas Yisroel has been subsidizing yeshiva education for the past thirty years, but never before have they encountered such tremendous numbers, and such a strong desperation. “We have way more children on the waiting list than sponsors to cover their tuition,” Rabbi Friedman explains. “Neshamos are literally ‘wandering in the streets,’ begging to be saved. During these incredibly challenging times, the eternal zechus of bringing our Father’s lost children back can be purchased for only a few dollars. With just a small monthly donation, you can adopt a precious Jewish children whose Torah learning—and that of his or her future generations, shall remain your zechus for all eternity.”

This ad concept design was created by S. Rosenthal, a proud beneficiary of Nechomas Yisroel.

When it comes to the Seder table, it’s more than simple aesthetics. The tradition of preparing a magnificently set table in honor of the Pesach Seder gives us the opportunity to truly bask in the feeling of royalty and redemption. After so many weeks of hard work, there’s nothing like sitting down to a timelessly decked table to tell the story of our nation.

A pristine white tablecloth, bedecked in gleaming silver and crystal — it’s a setting fit for royalty. The Shulchan Aruch (472) states that the Seder table is to be dressed in the finest one can afford. The Mishnah Berurah explains that throughout the year, we downplay our luxury as a zecher l’Churban, but on this night, it is proper to use our most beautiful tableware.

For one who has the means, writes Rav Chaim Falagi, purchasing a silver ka’arah or other silver pieces is a segulah for wealth. The price tag may be high, but it is well worth it. Every investment for this elevated evening is paid back from Above in double as glorifying the Leil HaSeder is propitious for prosperity. 292

The gold and silver, crystal and linens, remind us of the great wealth Klal Yisroel took along as they left Mitzrayim. The wealth was indicative of our steadfast emunah. Despite the danger involved in borrowing expensive utensils from our Egyptian neighbors at Moshe Rabbeinu’s urgings, we put our lives on the line. We trusted in the Geulah and in Hashem’s promise for protection, and solicited those treasures. By leaving with riches, Klal Yisroel was fulfilling Hashem’s promise that we would leave Mitzrayim with great wealth. But there is a deeper dimension to this, the Beis Halevi explains. When a slave leaves his master, he may be free, but he is still perceived with a trace of contempt. Hakadosh Baruch Hu, however, wanted us to leave with full dignity. Acquiring the gold and silver of our former taskmasters afforded us nobility and self-respect — sentiments we reflect upon and continue to own on this special night.

Rav Tzadok Hakohen explains that by taking along the klei kesef, the silver articles, we transformed these mundane valuables into another implication of the word “kesef ” — a heilige, pure love and desire for Hashem. April 21, 2024

When we set our magnificent Seder tables, we remember the royalty Hashem bestowed upon us at the time of Geulas Mitzrayim, and so we display our pure emunah in Hashem and longing for closeness with Him.

Still this year, may we be zoche to the final Geulah and our ultimate closeness with Hakadosh Baruch Hu! Thank you to the team at Heritage Silver for taking the time during this busy season to provide us with stately Heritage pieces. Special thanks to HomeQ for providing us with their exclusive Baccarat vases and cups to enhance our Seder table. 296

T H I S I N F O R M AT I O N I S B R O U G H T T O YO U B Y :

PROTECTING PRECIOUS CARGO Remember, proper car seat use is a crucial part of ensuring your child’s safety during every journey. Follow these guidelines, stay informed, and prioritize your child’s well-being on the road.

1. CHOOSE THE RIGHT SEAT: INFANT SEATS (REAR-FACING):

For newborns to at least 2 years old. Keep rear-facing as long as possible, even past age 2; it’s the safest position.

FORWARD-FACING CAR SEATS:

Transition from rear-facing to forward-facing as your child grows.

BOOSTER SEAT:

For older children who have outgrown forward-facing car seats but are still too small for the seat belt alone. Use until the seat belt fits properly, but until age 8 at minimum.

2. INSTALLATION MATTERS: FOLLOW THE MANUAL:

SECURE STRAPS:

CHECK FOR STABILITY:

Read and understand the car seat and vehicle manuals thoroughly.

Straps should be snug and positioned at or below the child’s shoulders for rear-facing seats, and roughly at or above for forward-facing seats.

Ensure the car seat is tightly secured and doesn’t move more than an inch in any direction.

3. GENERAL SAFETY TIPS: NO BULKY COATS:

Remove bulky coats before strapping your child in to ensure a snug fit.

REAR SEAT IS SAFEST:

Keep your child in the back seat until at least age 13.

REGULAR CHECKS:

Regularly inspect the car seat for wear and tear. Replace seats that have been involved in a crash.

4. KEEP YOUR CHILD SAFE IN A CAR SEAT REGISTER YOUR CAR SEAT

RAIN OR SHINE...

Here we present the Pesach version of marinated salad for all of you marinated salad lovers! INGREDIENTS 2

kohlrabi

Persian cucumbers

carrot

purple onion

MARINADE 4

cups water

cup lemon juice

cup oil

2½ T. salt ¾

cup sugar

D IR EC T I O N S

2. While the marinade is cooling, wash and prep the vegetables: Peel and shred the kohlrabi. Peel and slice the cucumbers, lengthwise, ribbon style, with a peeler. Peel the carrot and slice into thin circles. Cut purple onion in half, then slice it into thin half-circles. 3. After the marinade has cooled to room temperature, pour it over the vegetables in the bowl. Mix the salad really well, and let it stand on the counter for about 3 hours. Don’t worry if the marinade doesn’t cover the entire salad; eventually the vegetables will soften and sink into the marinade. 4. Place the salad in a jar, fill it with marinade, close the lid, and refrigerate it overnight before serving. You can also eat it after marinating for 3 hours, once it’s just chilled. Note: This salad is good for up to three days.

DESIGN CO.

1. Start by making the marinade: In a medium-size pot, combine water, lemon juice, oil, salt and sugar, and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the salt and sugar. Once the mixture begins to boil, remove from heat and cool to room temperature.

SAY IT WITH DIAMONDS

when someone offends us, our atrophied muscles are useless. We need to actively build resilience in ourselves and our kids. When my children tell me that someone wronged them, I bring this idea to their attention: “Thank you, Hashem, for giving me the opportunity to work out my resilience muscles!” Paint a picture for them — you’re in a gym, lifting weights. You’re not going to let this break you; you’re getting stronger. When you give them this greater mission, you automatically lower their level of stress and anxiety. Now let’s say your son runs into a little adversity. There’s a falling out between him and another kid, and he announces that he’s not going to school the next day. You need to really listen to him and make sure he knows that you really understand what happened and believe him. But tell him that quitting school is not an option. Tell him, “You’re going to school for a purpose, this is where you belong, and school is your responsibility. The fact that someone is in conflict with you — it could be a friend, or even a rebbi — doesn’t give you the right to bow out.” Acknowledge that it’s difficult, and work with him to make it easier in whatever way possible, but tell him that in life, we must do difficult things. We do the right thing simply because it’s the right thing to do.

Successful people are resilient. They don’t abandon relationships. They can live with imperfect people

You might feel doubtful that this will work. But if your child feels understood and accepted, they’ll be able to find the strength to go back to school and face their problems. If they feel rejected or misunderstood, they’ll become defiant and refuse to go back to school. Listen to them, and let them tell the story over and over. Every time they repeat the story, ask for details. Give them a reaction — Wow, that must have hurt you. The more they discuss the situation, the better they’ll understand it. They’ll gain clarity and perspective; they might think, maybe the other person had a point. It will also help them release it and get it out of their system. Listen carefully and make them talk. You want your child to succeed. Successful people are resilient. They don’t abandon relationships. They can live with imperfect people. Your child needs to build those emotional muscles so he can function well now, and for the rest of his life. Supporting a child so they can face adversity is the biggest gift you can give your child. Help them develop their resilience muscles so they can face and cope with greater adversities that they’ll inevitably encounter over the course of their lives. Rabbi Shlomo Usher Tauber is a certified counselor for trauma, relationship and crisis chinuch issues.

3 Is this normal, or is she too nervous? My 14-year-old daughter is by nature very responsible and conscientious — a real “oldest.” She makes her bed, brushes her teeth and eats her vegetables. I’m just starting to wonder if she’s a little too conscientious. She’s careful to eat only healthy foods and avoids junk food — always. Since Purim, I’ve heard her warning her younger siblings many times not to eat the nosh they got for mishloach manos. She herself threw away all her nosh. Is this normal? 334

The Monsey View

April 21, 2024

www.themonseyview.com · 845.600.8484

Rabbi Elchanan Erlanger, LCSW, responds: A person’s most prominent characteristic is usually both their greatest strength and their weakest point. Conscientiousness is a great middah; it makes your daughter reliable and dependable and keeps her safe. On the other hand, too much of this good thing may cause unnecessary restriction, or anxiety. The parents’ role is to be mechanech their child to calibrate the middah so they get its benefits without its disadvantages. In general, chinuch “in the moment” is not as effective as chinuch when you’re not in the moment. When your child is engaged in behavior that needs to be changed (or calibrated), that’s not the right moment to teach her to act differently. It’s much more effective to wait for another, neutral occasion when you’re both calm and unemotional and bring it up then. (It might occasionally be necessary to address the inappropriate behavior in the moment. But in terms of long-term change, it’s generally much more effective to wait for another time.) The conversation can go something like this: Start by celebrating the positive traits you see in your daughter. “Shevy, you’re very responsible and conscientious. That’s really great, and eating healthy is important.” Don’t add a “but.” The word “but” typically cancels everything that was said before. Instead say something like, “I noticed that when you tell the other kids

not to eat nosh, they get mad and it becomes a fight.” Offer to help her. “I want to help you stop doing that. Anytime you’re about to correct them, and you catch yourself and hold back, come to me and let me know.” If the behavior is deeply entrenched, she may need behavioral reinforcement, and you can create an incentive program. End by recognizing the maalah again. “It’s a good middah; it just comes back to bite you sometimes.” No shame or blame. It’s likely that Shevy might reply, “But you’re not stopping them from eating junk! So I have to!” If that happens, acknowledge her concern and worry, but make it clear that it’s not her responsibility. “I understand your concern. Nevertheless, it’s not the sister’s job to make sure kids eat properly; it’s the mother’s job.” Give examples from your own life to illustrate the idea of which responsibilities belong to which person. “I know how important it is to spend money carefully, but I don’t tell my neighbor how to spend their money even if I think they’re being wasteful. That’s because how they spend money is their responsibility, not my responsibility. Teaching kids to eat properly is their parents’ responsibility, not their sister’s.”

When we hear “all or nothing” terms, that gives us an opportunity to reflect on whether what we are hearing is a healthy and balanced response It’s important to acknowledge how much she cares and the positive aspects of this character trait so that she doesn’t feel like you don’t “get” her. “I know you just want the kids to be healthy because you love them. And you’re older, so you know more about eating properly than they do. It’s hard to get used to the idea that it’s not your responsibility.” You want her to know that you understand where she’s coming from, but you are still making a different choice. There could be extreme cases that call for professional intervention. You say you’re not sure if her behavior is healthy or not. When we hear “all or nothing” terms like, “she’s careful to eat only healthy foods” and “she avoids junk food — always,” that gives us an opportunity to reflect on whether what we are hearing is a healthy and balanced response. If you tried resolving the issue in a wise way (lectures don’t work and don’t count) for a reasonable period of time but it’s not improving, or if the problem is interfering with her ability to function, you should check with a professional to see if intervention is warranted. In general, you should consider how frequently the problem occurs, how intense it is and how long it lasts before coming to a conclusion. These three — frequency, intensity and duration — are a good way to assess how severe the problem is and if professional help is necessary. Rabbi Elchanan Erlanger, LCSW, is a rebbi at the Clifton Cheder in Clifton, New Jersey, and maintains a private practice in Passaic, New Jersey. He also provides professional development, trainings and presentations for schools and organizations across the U.S. 336

Miriam Manela, OTR/L responds: Most parents, like you, expect that as their child grows up, they gradually become capable of going through their daily routine on their own. That’s an appropriate expectation, and most children do so. But for some children, like yours, it doesn’t quite work that way. For some reason, for these kids, everything is a big issue. It can be hard to tell how important it is to actually have the kid do as you ask. The kid might be screaming, throwing things or making threats. You start to wonder if the issue is worth engaging over. Maybe you should just leave them alone? I like to use the term “chuppah problem” to give context to the question. Is this a problem that will persist into adulthood? If not, you can let it pass; they’ll grow out of it. But if it’s the kind of problem that will follow them to adulthood, it needs to be addressed. In your case, it does seem to be a “chuppah problem.” Your child is already twelve, and still tantruming like a two-year-old. Unfortunately, you can probably

s the very first bowl of chicken soup made its entrance, Zeidy announced, “And now, the time has come to find the afikomen!” Kids of all ages jumped up, eager and excited despite the late hour. The adults enjoyed watching the frenzied search, because in this family, the kids who found the afikomen the adults hid received a prize. “It’s only in the dining room,” Tante Baila cried out as the cousins dashed into the hallway. “No reason to wreck Bubby’s house! It’s right here in this room!” Beinish, one of the older boys, who was also of a rather stocky build, was getting tired. “Oh, Zeidy, give us a hint,” he cajoled, to the howls of “NO! Don’t!” by the many cousins intent on finding the afikomen. Good-natured Beinish went along with the search for a little while longer, but then he started asking for a hint again. “I want to eat my soup,” he complained. Bubby reminded him that he was more than welcome to do so. However, he wanted to find the afikomen and get a gift from Zeidy along with his cousins. Beinish halfheartedly checked under the grand piano in the corner, but as he straightened up, his eyes fell on the piano bench, which suddenly looked very appealing. “I’ll rest here on the bench just for a minute,” Beinish thought, “and then I’ll keep looking. Then I’ll go have my soup.” With a great yawn, Beinish sat down on the bench. Crunch. “Um…” Beinish stood up and gingerly pulled off the white cloth Bubby always put over the bench on Shabbos and Yom Tov. And there it was. The afikomen. The problem was, it was a very satupon afikomen. The adults in the room burst out laughing. The kids gathered around, some of them barely concealing their disappointment. Beinish felt his cheeks growing pink as he lifted the afikomen bag and realized that the beautiful matzah had been reduced to crumbs. Slowly, he brought the bag over to Zeidy. Zeidy took it with a smile and peered inside. “Well,” Zeidy announced, “we’re going to have some matzah meal for afikomen tonight!” Luckily, it tasted the same anyway.

was nine years old, and we had moved into a new house that year. This was our first Pesach in our new home, and I knew just where to hide the afikomen: in the crawl space. The crawl space had fascinated me from the moment we moved in. First of all, it was in the basement, a feature our previous home, a townhouse, had not had. The basement was mostly unfinished, and its cement floor and cinderblock walls lent a creepy, mysterious atmosphere to the space. The basement was where we kept piles of boxes and random storage, and high on the furthest wall, looking totally out of place, were two sets of double wooden “doors,” which opened to reveal a long, low space that you could crawl into. If you dared. I was scared of the crawl space. My grandparents were Holocaust survivors, and I sometimes thought that I would hide there if the Nazis came. Was there a way to hide or disguise the doors, once you were inside? Could you survive in the crawlspace; was there enough air? But one thing I was sure of: No one would ever think of looking for the afikomen there. So that’s where I hid it. I was right; no one thought of looking there. I sat smugly, watching my father and grandfather search high and low. But not low enough! They made only a cursory inspection of the basement, and they never even glanced at the crawl space. We began negotiating, and soon I had secured a promise for a trip to Toys”R”Us on Chol Hamoed. It was time to return the afikomen. “Nu, where is it?” my father asked. Everyone looked at me expectantly. “In the crawl space!” I announced triumphantly. “The crawl space?” my mother cried. “Oy vey! That’s where we put all the chometz we sold this year!” My heart sank. Other people had thought of putting things in the crawl space, after all!

t was a family-only Seder: Benzion, Michal and their seven sweet kinderlach, all of whom were very much looking forward to stealing the afikomen. Most determined was Motty, the precocious, befreckled four-year-old. “I’m going to hide it,” he kept saying. “I’m going to hide it so well, no one is ever going to find it!” Everyone smiled indulgently at the little boy. To everyone’s surprise, Motty did actually manage to steal the afikomen. And despite lots of guessing and searching and the clock’s rapid ticking toward chatzos, Motty’s afikomen was nowhere to be found. “Motty, sweetie, it’s getting late. Tell us where you hid it,” Benzion pressed. “You’ll get a prize anyway,” Michal reassured him. “Come on, Motty!” his siblings said. Motty puffed with pride and looked very, very smug. “I told you that no one would ever find it.” He took a deep breath, looking very grand as he prepared to disclose the classified secret. Finally he pointed to his stomach. “It’s in here!” he crowed. Eight people in the room fell instantly silent. “You… you ate it?” Michal broke the silence. “Yup!” Motty glowed. Then he looked around at all the serious faces and his face crumpled. “What’s the problem? You said I have to hide it so well that no one could find it, and then I’ll get a prize!” Benzion pulled Motty onto his lap and cuddled him close. “Don’t worry, Motty, you can get a prize. Thank you for telling us where you put the afikomen. Come help me give everybody other matzah instead.” Benzion gave each member of the family the correct shiur of matzah from the box. Motty, however, refused the offerings. “I already ate the whole afikomen,” he said. “I’m stuffed!”

very family has legends. My family has a bunch of stories we enjoy retelling, and when I got married, I started hearing the legends of my husband’s family as well. There was the story about my husband at age four, asking whether there were sharks in the lake where they were boating, and the long-lost great uncle who gifted each bar mitzvah boy with a personalized hockey jersey. But my favorite was about my husband’s older sister. I looked up to her, like everyone in his family: She was poised and loving; she had a beautiful family, a meaningful job, and showered everyone around her with warmth and joy. As an insecure newlywed, I didn’t think I could ever be like her. But she became so human to me that first Pesach I was married. When Tzafun arrived, and the grandchildren dutifully turned in the afikomen, my father in law’s face lit up. “That was a good hiding place,” he told them. “But not as good as Tante Hudi’s when she was your age!” Everyone laughed, but I didn’t get the joke. I looked at my husband. “We couldn’t find it anywhere,” he told me, grinning. “And she was so proud. She kept saying, ‘You’ll never find it, you’ll never find it.’” “We never did,” my mother-inlaw said. “She had flushed it down the toilet!”

Wish-aKiddush A S T O L D T O H A D A S S A H S T E I N M A N

e brought home our newest pink bundle of joy on Erev Pesach. I couldn’t stop looking at her. She was beautiful, with soft downy hair and a tiny button nose, and as I watched her chest rise and fall, I nearly wept with wonder. She didn’t have a name yet, our little sweetheart. My husband and I knew good and well what her name would be, but if he were to have his way, he’d name her in shul the following morning. The catch was that we weren’t home for the first days — we were upstate with my parents — and I wanted our baby to have her kiddush in her father’s regular shul, on Shabbos, like most baby girls I knew. Besides, I wanted to show her off to family and friends on her big day!

What better place to hide the pouch when it was this very matzah that would get my little girl the kiddush of her — okay, her mother’s — dreams? “What’s the big deal?” asked my husband. “We can’t prepare a regular kiddush in any case; there’s no cholent and herring to speak of on Pesach, and most people won’t eat out of their homes!” But this new mother wanted her daughter to have a kiddush. Even if the only food served would be whole fruits and nuts. The point, at least for me, was introducing our newest addition to our loved ones, and we needed to be home for that to happen. My husband thought I was being ridiculous — which, to his credit, he agreed was my right — but still. Then came Seder night, and I knew what I was going to ask for afikomen. I also knew that my husband liked to hide his afikomen under his pillow on his chair. When he went to wash his hands in the kitchen, I stole the afikomen, tucked it under the warm bundle in my arms, and walked down the hallway to the bedroom. What better place to hide the pouch when it was this very matzah that would get my little girl the kiddush of her — okay, her mother’s — dreams? Tzafun came, and I got my afikomen. My husband was a sport, and as for myself? Shabbos Chol Hamoed found me welcoming family and friends into my dining room as they all got a peek at the princess of honor. The adults cooed and exclaimed over her, and the newly named baby blinked placidly and then drifted off to sleep. 354

YOU DESERVE A CHANGE

Nachshon Moment Sometimes what’s acceptable and what’s right are two very different things. And sometimes it takes a person who is willing to stand up against the flow to inspire change. Here are stories of three people who stood up and said,

My girls attend the same school I attended when I was a student. That means that I face the same struggles my mother faced when her daughters were in school. Even back when we were students, our school didn’t have a uniform. Teachers stood in front of a sea of color in the classroom, and while this made for a very stimulating sight (not such a good thing when the students’ attention should be on the board), it also meant a tremendous headache for the mothers of these girls, who had to shop for their wardrobes.. Every year, the dress code guidelines grew. This was a very special and understandable development, given the fact that all parents wanted their girls to be dressed appropriately and tznius’dig, but shopping for clothing grew more and more difficult. And once shopping

for the season was done, then came alternations — and maintenance! This sweater was hand-wash only, and the other had to be washed with like colors. The shirts all had to be ironed, and some skirts dry cleaned. And when you multiply this by a few girls (five in a row, in my mother’s case), it meant endless laundry and clothing care. One year, when my sisters and I were all girls, my mother put her foot down and took us to J-Stores. There she selected some pleated uniform skirts and had us choose shirts and sweaters to match. That September, for the very first time, we boarded

our school bus with the same fresh, starched look as all of our neighbors on the block who wore uniforms. No longer were we dressed for Chol Hamoed on a regular school day. It was amazing. Laundry became simple, organization was a breeze, and we girls looked neat and clean without much effort on my mother’s part. Fast-forward some twenty years, and I found myself in the same situation. I grew to dread each change of season because it meant I had to shop for clothes for all of my girls — again. And clothing that was suitable and appropriate and tznius’dig invariably created mounds of ironing, piles and piles of delicates, and a mess of laundry wherever I turned. And whenever I stepped out of my house, I saw these adorably clothed schoolgirls, neat and prim in a collar and pleats. One back-to-school season, I’d had it. I took my girls to a local uniform store. The saleslady helped me mix and match skirts and shirts and sweaters to create combinations that didn’t match any school’s uniform, and just like that, my girls were in uniform. Well, maybe it wasn’t just like that. My daughters were horrified at first. They’d be the only girls in their class — no, in their entire school! — in uniform! But I put my foot down, recruited a few mothers in the school to do the same, and we were in business. By Chanukah, an average of six girls in each of my daughters’ classes were in uniform. By the end of the year, half of the girls in each class were in uniform. Evidently, more and more mothers were seeing the brilliance in this choice of dress, and before we knew it, wearing mixed and matched uniforms was completely acceptable. Today shopping for my girls is a breeze. We get all of our shopping done in one store, where my daughters happily choose a couple of different uniform combinations, and voila! Their weekday wardrobes are complete. No article of clothing needs delicate care, my girls are effortlessly tznius’dig, and they look as sweet and fresh as every other schoolgirl out there. Switching to uniform was a big step, and it was hard to be the first one, but it was the best decision I ever made.

Hats Off

ChangingtheKehillah,OneHatataTime H I L L E L

You know the mashal about the boiling frog? If you put a frog in a pot of cool water and heat it gradually, it will die when the water boils. It will never jump out of the pot to save its life, because the heat increases slowly, and it never gets that danger cue. That’s how I felt about hats. About ten years ago, I was shopping for a hat before Yom Tov. I’ve been wearing hats since I was bar mitzvah, so this should have been a pretty familiar errand, but I was shocked at the prices. I was used to spending $150 on a hat, maybe even closer to $200. But now the hats I usually bought were selling for $300. I left the store empty-handed. “It’s like the frog,” I told my wife when I got home. “First you pay $150 and you think it’s normal, and the next time you pay $180, so nu nu, it’s a little more. And then next time you’re in a rush and you don’t realize until you’re ready to pay that the hat you chose costs $200, but you’re already standing at the counter with it, so whatever, you just buy it. And now look where we are — paying $300 for a hat.” My wife was disappointed. “But you’re so busy. You don’t have time to shop. And you always buy these hats. It’s not even like you buy one every year.” She wanted me to be happy. “You hardly spend any money on yourself. So just buy the hat and stop thinking about it.” Everything she said was true. But it just didn’t feel right. I could swing $300 for a hat once in a while. But I was young, and my family was small.

What about my neighbor, with five sons? Was he supposed to spend $1,800 for six hats? Mentally, I corrected that to $1,500. I was pretty sure that at that price, he wouldn’t be buying one for himself. I didn’t have any clout in the community, and I wasn’t this whole chashuve person. But I was in klei kodesh. If even the people in klei kodesh were wearing $300 hats, that meant it was normal. I couldn’t do it. I didn’t want to do it. I sat thinking for a while. The decision seemed to come together by itself, and it felt right. I felt relieved, like this was in line with who I wanted to be. I stood up. “Someone has to draw the line somewhere,” I told my wife, “and I’m drawing it here.” The next day I went to another hat store, one that didn’t sell the name brand I was used to buying, and I bought a nice hat for half the price. I’m not going to lie; it wasn’t the same. The quality was different, and the style wasn’t perfect. It didn’t hit the spot the way the $300 hats did. But I felt better wearing it. Every morning, when I took off my hat in shul to put on my tefillin, I put the hat upside down on the table near me. Every bachur walking down the aisle could see the label and would know it was okay for them to have stam a hat too. Sometimes it’s hard to be different, or to be first, but I hoped that by doing so, I would make it easier for everyone else to follow.

In addition to the tragic loss of life, Covid left a mess. Much of it was health-related; some of it was societyrelated. According to Mrs. F., principal of a school in Monsey, when it came to many high school girls and today’s young wives and mothers, the mess was phone-related. “During Covid, many families purchased a number of cellphones so the kids could stay on top of their schoolwork,” says Mrs. F. “But when schools opened again, we began noticing a trend. Some girls were spending an inordinate amount of time on the phone, and soon they were dragging themselves through each school day as if in a daze. They were struggling to focus and stay present, and matters weren’t any better at home. They simply weren’t there.”

And these weren’t the girls who were struggling in other areas. These were great girls, from great homes, and ever so slowly, they were losing their grip on their lives. “Their phones would charge under their pillows,” Mrs. F. continues, “and they’d spend each night on high alert. If there was some big news at two in the morning, they were all informed right then and there; there was no waiting for the morning. How well rested do you think these girls were?” Things came to a head when mechanchim began getting concerned that these girls’ dependence on their phones and friends could be very un-

healthy once it was time for them to get married. “At that point,” said Mrs. F., “Mrs. C. — who is another Monsey principal — and myself knew with certainty that things had to change. These girls didn’t yet understand that their attachment to their innocent, filtered phones wasn’t good for them, but the fact was that their future lives were at stake.” As Mrs. F. clarifies, the goal here had nothing to do with the internet, and nothing to do with technology per se. (In fact, most of the girls in question had phones without text capability.) The issue was the girls’ attachment to their phones, which had them talking until very late at night, and in general, gave them a certain degree of independence. “All this was the breeding ground for bigger issues,” Mrs. F. says. “Many girls didn’t know their limits; they were oversocializing and oversharing, and the more time passed, the more the situation spiraled.” Soon some girls were taking their phones to school, where they could use it on the bus, and the acceptable age at which girls normally got their own phone kept dropping, with girls owning their own devices at progressively younger ages. “As a speaker at one of our events later explained, no matter how kosher a phone is, the moment it turns into another limb, it’s a problem. Phones are addictive — even the world at large knows it — and younger people aren’t yet equipped to fight that pull. Add to that the fact that this is the age their social lives feature so prominently in their value system, and you have a problem.” The two principals brought up this issue at a chinuch meeting that was scheduled to address another matter, and the people around the table all nodded in agreement. This was an issue, and it had to be dealt with — before things spiraled out of control. Thus was born Byadeini. As the girls would soon learn, their future was in their hands. After hours and hours of communication between chinuch experts and daas Torah, a set of guidelines was crafted along with a plan for implementation.

SWIFT DELIVERY

The first part was establishing that there was a problem. Many parents, and even more girls, didn’t see what was so detrimental about their kosher phones. Therefore, the first step was education. The initial gathering that was organized targeted the mothers of high school girls. This audience at the first event turned out to be 1,600 strong. Next, the girls were educated so they could understand that what was happening to them and to their friends put them at risk for many issues down the road. At this first event, which was divided in two to accommodate the crowd, almost three thousand girls attended. The speaker told the girls, “When your little brother touches the Betty Crocker in the cabinet, you may not look twice. But when he touches your phone, you go crazy! That means that you’ve grown too attached to it. It’s grown to be another limb.” The girls soon admitted that this was true, and the following story illustrates this point: One staff member asked her mother to buy her a phone when she was in camp so she could call home. Her mother didn’t understand. Couldn’t she borrow any girl’s phone and just call home? No, the girl explained, “because when I do, whoever owns the phone breathes down my neck and stands five inches away from me until the phone is back in her hands.” So yes, there was a problem. The next step was implementing a set of guidelines that the girls would have to follow — with their parents’ support. In this case, the school was only as strong as the parent supporting their child. In a word, girls in participating high schools had to sign that they wouldn’t own a phone until graduation. In order to ensure that a family phone didn’t unwittingly become a student’s phone, some gedarim were established with seichel and clarity. The first part was that the phone cannot stay in a girl’s room overnight, nor charge there. It also cannot be used to store photos or music, and it can’t have a personal voicemail. Finally, girls may not use cell phones to schmooze after 11 p.m. What about their home phones? No limits were imposed on a home phone. “We’re not looking to restrict the girls unnecessarily,” explains Mrs. C. when I reach out to her to hear more. “This is about their health and

372

wellbeing. We’re looking to build them.” A cordless phone, in contrast to a cell phone, doesn’t deliver that same feeling of privacy, as anyone in the house can pick up the other extension at any minute. Nor does it come along with a personal voicemail, or the option to have it charge under your pillow. Once Byadeini was successfully up and running, the transformation was instantaneous. Girls were getting a normal night’s sleep, and they were thriving. Even the girls who hadn’t been struggling beforehand benefitted; this program made them stronger and gave them the courage to continue doing what was right. Soon communities around the world followed suit, namely Monroe, Boro Park, Williamsburg and London. “But we still need constant chizuk,” says Mrs. F., “as do the girls. To that end, we have regular events and chizuk programs featuring exciting raffles to encourage all participating students to stay strong. They already know that their future is b’yadeini.” “The feedback from this project was enormous,” Mrs. C. says. “I got calls from all over. Parents felt like they got their daughters back.” As an example, she shares that a father reached out and said that he finally got to know his daughter. He used to come home in the evening, and his daughter would be on the phone until the wee hours of the night. They hardly had any chance to interact. Another parent said that her daughter came to tell her that even though it was her job to bathe her baby sister, the first time she bathed the baby without her phone, it was like she gave her a bath for the very first time. With no phone to interfere, she connected with the baby and really enjoyed the experience. Hands down, Mrs. C. says, the girls who are thriving today are the ones whose parents are abiding by the rules. The best part of it all is that the girls are in this together, and Byadeini became an immense source of pride for them. By now many of their camp friends are also participating, which both adds to the pride and to the push against late-night phone calls. “When you step in to do something for all the right reasons,” Mrs. F. concludes, “Hashem really helps. We were gebentched with a tremendous amount of siyata d’Shmaya in return for our being the Nachshon, and it was so clear that we’d been meant to take the leap.”

In the sixth year of the reign of Chizkiah Hamelech, the Aseres Hashevatim were besieged by the mightiest army the world had ever seen: the army of Ashur led by the great warrior Sancheirev. After destroying the Jewish capital of Shomron, he sent the Aseres Hashevatim into galus. His plan was to continue south, make a clean sweep into Yehudah, and sack Yerushalayim.

the Jordan River, they removed so much water that the next wave was able to cross standing. The final wave “kicked up dust with their feet and did not find water in the river to drink.”

Faltering Emunah Other wars sidetracked him, but in the fourteenth year of Chizkiah’s reign, Sancheirev came back with a vengeance and an even larger army. The Tanach says it was 185,000 strong, but the Gemara1 says it was much larger, and that 185,000 only included the highest ranking officers. How many soldiers did Sancheirev have? The Gemara says, “The sum total of his camp was 260 myriad [10,000] thousands minus one.” That’s 2.6 billion! Some explain that number as a guzma, an exaggeration. Nevertheless, however you view it, it was a massive horde of enemy soldiers. (The Gemara also says the army was 400 parsa in length, or about 1,000 miles long!) It was such a large army that although the first invaders had to swim across 380

The loss of the Aseres Hashevatim eight years earlier was a tragedy that took a tremendous mental and emotional toll on the Yidden of Yehudah. It was like the Holocaust to them. The better element of the people saw the Yad Hashem, but a weaker element was incensed that Hashem didn’t save their brothers. Malchus Yisroel had been much stronger militarily than Malchus Yehudah. If the Aseres Hashevatim fell, what chance did Yehudah have? As the Assyrian horde swept into the land, many Jews lost heart. Chizkiah even tried to buy off Sancheirev. He offered him not only all the treasures in his palace, but in the Beis Hamikdash as well. It didn’t work. Employing psychological warfare, the Assyrians sent a Jewish traitor named Ravshakey to convince them to sur-

render Yerushalayim without a fight. He stood on the walls of the city, and in fluent Hebrew, called them fools for trusting in Chizkiah and Hashem. “Don’t listen to Chizkiah,” he shouted. “He misleads you. Have any of the gods of the nations saved their lands from the hand of the king of Assyria? Have they saved Shomron from our hand? Who among all the gods of the countries have saved their country from my [Sancheirev’s] hand, that Hashem should save Yerushalayim from my hand?”2 Then he added, “You’re leaning on the support of this broken reed.”3 The “broken reed” was Mitzrayim. Chizkiah had a treaty with Pharaoh, the king of Mitzrayim, who promised to come to his aid if attacked. “You’re making a mistake in trusting Pharaoh,” Ravshakey said to Chizkiah. “He’s not going to come help you.” He turned out to be correct. Pharaoh never came.

Pure Emunah Rav Avigdor Miller used this episode to teach a fundamental lesson in bitachon. Chizkiah was a

complete tzaddik. He certainly did not trust in Pharaoh. He davened to Hashem with all his heart. Yet Hashem saw that this perfect tzaddik had a small amount of trust in Pharaoh and believed that he would help him. What did Hashem do to make Chizkiah as perfect as possible? He sent the King of Ashur. As the King of Ashur stood outside the gates of Yerushalayim with his tremendous army, and Pharaoh was sitting at home doing nothing, Chizkiah thought, “Where’s Pharaoh? He promised me he would be here when I needed him.” And that cured Chizkiah. He was cured of even the slightest trace of reliance on flesh and blood. Now he trusted only in Hashem. The whole thing was staged, Rav Avigdor Miller, zt”l, explains. Hashem brought Sancheirev from far away with his entire army just to make this tzaddik purified of any hint of a spiritual flaw. Under the magnifying glass Hashem uses for the greatest tzaddikim, He saw that Chizkiah possessed a certain amount of trust in a human being. For us, there wouldn’t have been

anything wrong, but for Chizkiah, it was considered a flaw. Hashem wanted him to be absolutely pure in faith, so he sent the king of Ashur to besiege Yerushalayim. It’s a remarkable thing. Hashem moved nations to teach the lesson, “Arur hagever asher yivtach ba’adam — accursed is the man that trusts in human beings” (Yirmiyahu 17:5). Hashem orchestrated an entire world war of unprecedented proportions so that Chizkiah should learn to trust in Him, and only Him.

“260 myriads,” or 2.6 billion, mirrors the gematria value of Hashem’s name, which is 26. (The trailing zeros can be seen as expanding the magnitude or scope of the base number without changing its inherent meaning.) This numerical parallel isn’t a coincidence; it’s a deliberate Divine signature, a reminder that Hashem orchestrates the events of the world, including the rise and fall of empires and their armies. The lesson here is twofold. First, that Hashem is the “One.” When we face seemingly insurmountable odds, it’s easy to despair open miracle. It should have creor to feel intimidated.

Most commonly asked

and Torahbased

answers

Deserves to Know

BEFORE WE ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS, we would like to clarify that the

Torah obligation to wear a headcovering is one of the most clear-cut mitzvos in the Torah (as opposed to other areas of halacha where there are many different opinions, minhagim, and mesorahs). In today’s times of ‫עקבתא דמשיחא‬, there is confusion about this topic due to a lack of awareness. For this reason, we have taken the time to answer these often-asked questions, with Torah-sourced answers. Bnos Yisroel are pure and yearn to hear the Emes. May Hashem guide every woman to make the right decision as per His will.

I WAS ALWAYS WONDERING: WHY DOES A MARRIED WOMAN HAVE TO COVER HER HAIR? This question is asked by many. What is in fact the reason for the mitzvah of haircovering? This mitzvah is not a chok - like the mitzvah of para aduma, for which we don’t know the reason. Rather, this mitzvah has a clear rationale, which is to raise the level of tznius of a married woman. A man may not gaze at the beauty of an unmarried woman because of the aveira of ‫ולא תתורו אחרי לבבכם‬ ‫ואחרי עיניכם‬. Looking at a married woman is a more severe form of this sin.1 Therefore, she requires a higher level of tznius, in order to prevent gazes of other men. For this reason, a married woman must cover her hair because hair is attractive to men. Aside from the greater concern with men gazing at married women, some Acharonim suggest that since single women are looking for a Shidduch, the Torah doesn’t require them to conceal their hair from public view. We find elsewhere as well that the Torah gives certain allowances to single girls adorning themselves to make a good impression for a Shidduch. (See Gemara Taanis 13b first Rashi, and Yaavetz Mor U-Ketziah 75 and Shvilei Dovid to OC 75, and Shu”t Seridei Eish 1:78, end. See also Trumas HaDeshen: “‫)”משום פריצות דגברא‬2 From here it is clear that wearing a headcovering which has no resemblance to hair (such as a headscarf/kerchief ) is the original and ideal way of fulfilling this mitzvah. This was the headcovering of Jewish women throughout all generations, dating back to our holy Imahos, and still is amongst many Jewish women around the world - Ashkenazim and Sephardim. i

“MY GREAT-GRANDMOTHER COVERED HER HAIR WITH A SHEITEL. ISN’T WEARING A SHEITEL MY MESORAH? The use of wigs as a headcovering is quite a recent innovation in Jewish history. Therefore, wearing a sheitel in public does not have the halachic status of mesorah or a minhag Yisroel. The use of wigs as headcoverings began in the mid1800s in Europe where most Jewish women had stopped covering their hair completely due to the czarist clothing decrees of the 1840s as well as the influence of modernizing trends which rejected hair covering altogether. Thus, in order to save the mitzvah of headcovering, the use of wigs came to be accepted by certain halachic authorities as a viable option. (There was a theoretical heter for wigs issued by the Shiltei ha-Gobim in 16th century Italy, but [at least outside Italy] wigs were not worn by Jewish women for centuries after this heter was first written.) In the 1800s, most Gedolei HaPoskim said that the wig was forbidden to be worn in public.3 4 Even though the use of wigs slowly became accepted in many circles, the sheitel never became a mesorah or a minhag Yisroel. Evidence for this can be found in the following testimonies from our Gedolim: The holy Divrei Chaim zt”l attested: “It is clear that when I was living with my father-in-law, the Baruch Tam in Merrin, Germany, there wasn’t even one respectable woman in the whole Germany who wore her hair or a sheitel, besides for some not ehrliche women, and they were a disgrace to all. Unfortunately, this practice has recently become widespread from the apikorsim.” (Yorah Daya, Chelek 1, Siman 30)

Bnos Yisroel are pure and yearn to hear the emes. HaRav Tzvi Hirsch Chayos zt”l (known as the Maharatz Chayos) testified: ”In my young years, I never heard in the whole country of Poland that anyone wore a sheitel. This is a new self-made innovation that has wreaked much damage. We need to warn others that they should return to the way Jewish women were accustomed (to cover their hair) in all previous generations.” (Shalos u’Teshuvos Maharitz Chayos Siman 53) We see from the above testimonies that the wig was clearly a new invention which was used to cover the hair. Therefore, any woman today who upgrades and wears a headscarf/ kerchief is simply returning to the unbroken chain of our true mesorah. This situation is akin to the mid-1900s, when it was difficult to obtain chalav Yisroel, and some rabbanim then allowed the use of chalav akum. Would anyone claim, “Well, my grandmother drank chalav akum, so that is my mesorah, and I cannot upgrade in this area”? (Only a minhag which is more stringent becomes minhag Yisroel and must be observed, e.g., the minhag amongst Chasidim not to eat gebroks on Pesach.) A sheitel certainly does not have a status of a minhag. As HaGaon HaRav Nissim Karelitz exclaimed to someone who claimed that a sheitel was his minhag, “What? From a pirtzah (a breach) one makes a minhag?!”6 Since a sheitel is definitely not a minhag, if a woman takes upon herself to wear the original cloth headcovering, she should be praised and commended.

THIS IS QUITE AN EYEOPENER. BUT WEREN’T THERE SHEITELS IN THE TIMES OF THE GEMARA? When the Gemara teaches in Mesachtas Shabbos that a woman may wear a peah nachris - this is referring to a piece (peah) of foreign (nachris) hair that women who had thin or white hair added to their own hair in order to beautify themselves for their husbands.7 From here people assume that the women in the Gemara’s times wore wigs in public. This is a misunderstanding! Chazal allowed a woman to wear a peah nachris in her private courtyard (in addition to one piece of jewelry) on Shabbos so that she should look pleasing to her husband. These were worn at home and in the courtyard to improve their looks for their husband. When these woman would go out in public, they completely covered their heads

with a kerchief.8 The whole heter (leniency) for the sheitel, which people started to rely upon only about 180 years ago, was derived from the Shiltei Giborim on this Gemara. Yet, many Gedolim held that the Shiltei Giborim only allowed a woman to wear a peah nachris in her private courtyard, and not in public. (See Sefer Sugya D’Pai Nachris for an in-depth study of this topic.)

IF I WEAR A KERCHIEF, I WILL LOOK DIFFERENT THAN MOST WOMEN IN MY COMMUNITY. ISN’T THIS CONSIDERED A LACK OF MODESTY, SINCE I WILL BE STANDING OUT? “A woman may worry needlessly that there could be something immodest in her standing out as the only woman wearing a kerchief in a crowd of others in wigs. This is absolutely not a concern. Such a woman would be no different than someone modestly dressed, in a crowd of people who are not modestly dressed. Certainly both of these women are sanctifying G-d’s name with their appearance, despite their standing out by being different from the others” (The Unique Princess by Rabbi Yirmiyohu and Tehilla Abramov, p. 105). Standing out by dressing in a way that is provocative and attracts male attention is forbidden. Standing out by dressing modestly is not an issue at all. We must remember that conducting ourselves in a more proper manner- even though it is different from most people in society - does not attract attention in a forbidden manner and will not cause forbidden thoughts. “Imagine if everyone in the community would be wearing short sleeves. Would it be wrong to wear long sleeves because it would attract attention? Certainly not. Quite the contrary. This is a noble deed, since through this we are preventing men from violating the serious sin of gazing at forbidden sights. We know that Boaz was impressed with Rus because she conducted herself in a more modest manner than the other women (she bent down in a modest way, didn’t speak to other men, etc.). Would anyone claim that Rus was not behaving properly since she was acting differently than the people around her and attracting attention? Quite the contrary is true. Rus was praised for her exemplary tznius, and in this zchus she merited that Moshiach will descend from her.” (Adorned with Dignity by Mrs. C. T. Friedman, pg. 140)

DOESN’T A SHEITEL COVER THE HAIR BETTER THAN A TICHEL? Some women think that it is preferable to wear a wig than a kerchief because it offers better coverage for their hair. This issue was presented to Harav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv zt”l, and his response was written clearly in Da’as Rabboseinu, ‫“האומרים שפאה נכרית עדיפא‬ ‫ הם דברים בטלים‬....‫ על מטפחת‬- Those who say that a wig is preferable to a kerchief… these are nullified words.”10

THIS IS ALL SO NEW TO MANY OF US. YET, MOST PEOPLE ARE STILL WEARING SHEITELS. THEN IT SURELY MUST BE OKAY FOR US TO CONTINUE WEARING OUR SHEITELS… We are going to have to decide if our sheitels are appropriate headcoverings. Our grandmothers wore wigs which were short and stiff and the hair didn’t move. Their sheitels were neither provocative, attractive, or alluring. Due to advanced technology, and the updated features, our sheitels are no longer suitable headcoverings which upgrade our tznius (which is the purpose of the mitzvah). They have become glamorous “hair” designed for the actresses in Hollywood as a fashion accessory - for the sole purpose of drawing the eyes of others. Instead of fulfilling the mitzvah of headcovering, which is to downplay a married woman’s looks, today’s sheitels do the exact opposite: They enhance her looks, making her more attractive to men. As our Gedolim have lamented: HaGaon HaRav Shmuel HaLevi Wosner zt”l: “The wigs of today look just like natural hair. They incite the yetzer hara even more than natural hair, and there would be no posek in previous generations who would be able to find any type of leniency to permit such a sheitel.” HaGaon HaRav Shlomo Zalmen Auerbach zt”l: I can’t distinguish between a sheitel and hair, for me it’s very disgusting. In my opinion, all tragedies come from the sheitels, and I am also referring to the short ones.” 11 HaGaon HaRav Yosel Shalom Elyashiv zt”l: “The dispute about if the sheitel is permissible applied to the wigs of previous generations (which were short and stiff, and the hairs did not move from their place). But the naturallooking sheitels of today incite the yetzer hara just like hair… Who can permit wearing such a sheitel, which is ervah?” 12

Every day, the sheitels become ever more glamorous and eye-catching. Thus, they are in essence contradicting the purpose of the mitzvah. Instead of preventing the stares of other men, they are attracting their eyes. Inspired by the above-mentioned information, many women have taken the courage to return to the true mesorah of wearing a headscarf/ kerchief. In this way, they are fulfilling the purpose of the mitzvah of headcovering which is to raise a women’s tznius, and they are performing this mitzvah according to the opinion of all Poskim. As HaGaon HaRav Elyashiv zt”l said, ‫”פאה נכרית הוא מחלוקת בעיקר‬ ‫ – ההלכה אבל מטפחת זה גלאט‬a wig is a dispute in the essence of the halacha but a tichel is glatt.” 13

WHY IS THERE SO MUCH TALK ABOUT TZNIUS? SHOULDN’T WE FOCUS MORE ON AHAVAS YISROEL AND GOOD MIDDOS? Tznius is the core mitzvah of a woman. As the Midrash teaches us, when Hashem fashioned the first woman, Chavah, He proclaimed 504 times, “You should be a modest woman.” 14 Indeed, the Vilna Gaon revealed, “What Torah learning is for a man, tznius is for a woman.”15 Just as Torah learning is the most fundamental mitzvah of a man, so too, tznius is the most fundamental mitzvah for a woman.” Some women may claim, “I do a lot of chesed, I am careful in Shmiras Halashon…Tznius is just not my strongpoint.” Let us strengthen ourselves with the words of our Gedolim. The Maharal teaches, “The main praise of a woman and the highest level she can attain, is tznius.”16 The Chesed L’alafim enlightens us that most of the reward that a woman receives in the next world is dependent on her tznius (and that most of the punishment a woman receives in this world and the next, is due to a lack of tznius). 17 Loving our fellow Jew and good middos are indeed fundamental Torah principles. Many women don’t realize that guarding our tznius is the greatest expression of ahavas Yisroel. Through being careful not to attract attention, we are preventing other men from stumbling with forbidden sights and thoughts. This is one of the greatest acts of chesed: to assist another person with their spirituality. Some women may claim, “So let the men not look.” This is like flashing shining lights right in front a person, and telling him not to look! Unfortunately, these women don’t realize that they will be held accountable for drawing others eyes. As Rabbeinu Yonah explains that both the man who gazes and the woman who caused it will be liable for judgment.18 Every woman is obligated to ask herself, “Will any part of my appearance draw looks from men?” Bnos Yisroel are pure and yearn to hear the emes and do the will of Hashem. It is amazing how when we become aware of the facts, we naturally become more careful in the way we dress and behave in public. As the Ramchal

teaches, “If knowledge was broad and set in the hearts of people, they would never sin.” 19

WHAT ARE GEDOLEI YISROEL IN OUR DAYS SAYING ABOUT THE USE OF A HEADSCARF/ KERCHIEF FOR HEADCOVERINGS? Gedolei Yisroel have praised and commended women who upgrade their headcovering, as per our mesorah for thousands of years. The Posek HaDor, Maran HaRav Yosef Sholom Elyashiv zt”l, our generation’s great halachic authority, has clearly stated that in his opinion it is preferable for a woman to cover her hair with a kerchief, rather than a wig. Rav Elyashiv constantly expressed his concern about the use of wigs that are not modest- a practice which, he said, has made inroads even into the families of pious men and roshei Yeshivah (“The Unique Princess” p. 104). Maran HaRav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach zt”l said that when Moshiach comes, the first thing he will do is abolish the use of wigs (as quoted by his son-in-law)” (“The Unique Princess” p. 104).” HaGaon HaRav Nissim Karelitz zt”l wrote: “I would like to encourage the women who have strengthened themselves to cover their hair with a cloth covering, instead of a covering made of hair. They have done this after they became aware that the sheitel can cause many severe issurim. These women are deserving of bracha, and may there be more such women in Klal Yisroel. 20 The Posek HaDor, the Shevet Halevi zt”l wrote: “Surely we need to support and encourage those who want to return to the kisui rosh of a non-sheitel headcovering, like the Chasam Sofer writes in his Shaalos u’Tshuvos and in his holy tzava’ah” (Letter written 15 Teives 5757). 21 Even if it may take time for us to upgrade, let our new knowledge help us respect those who courageously take this step. HaRav HaGaon R’ Binyamin Rabinowitz zt”l said clearly, “Those who discourage others from changing to a kerchief are holding back the geulah.” Surely we need to support and respect women who upgrade in this fundamental mitzvah. We are all awaiting the Final Redemption. We pray that we should merit to be amongst those who assist the coming of Moshiach Tzidkeinu. We can accomplish this by finding favor in Hashem’s eyes through our unique mission of guarding our tznius. As Chazal teach us, “In the merit of the righteous women of the generation, we will be redeemed.” 22 Gedolei HaRabbanim have asked that these questions which were answered by a chabura of Talmidei Chachamim - be made available to the public.

3. Most Gedolim of the previous generations forbade the wearing of a sheitel in public, amongst them were the Vilna Gaon, the Yaavetz, the Divrei Chaim, the Chasam Sofer, and numerous Poskim, Rabbanim, Gaonim, and Admorim. (The Chesed L’Avraham, the Yeshuas Yaakov, and other Poskim have stated that wearing a sheitel is an issur d’oraissa, just like wearing one’s own hair. Many other Poskim have ruled that one who wears a sheitel is oiver on Das Yehudis).See below for some of the sources: ‫ ובדרשות‬,‫ הגאון מהר"י מינץ קאצינעלנבויגן (בשו"ת באר שבע סימן י"ח‬.4 ‫ הגאון ר' ישכר איילינבורג (הבאר שבע בסימן‬,)‫מהרי מינץ סוף דרוש ראשון‬ ‫ הגאון ר' בנימין מוספיא (בעל מוסיף הערוך באות‬,)‫ תלמיד הלבושים‬,‫הנ"ל‬ '‫ וחלק ב‬,‫ הגאון ר' יעקב עמדין (בשאילת יעב"ץ חלק א סימן ט‬,)‫קפליטן‬ ‫ בכנסת הגדולה (אבן העזר סימן‬,)‫ מור וקציעה או"ח סימן ע"ה‬,'‫ ח‬,'‫סימן ז‬ ,)‫ בעל פחד יצחק (רבו של בעל מסילת ישרים בספרו אות פ‬,)‫כ"א אות ה‬ ‫ הפרי מגדים (בספרו אם‬,):‫בעל ההפלאה ובית דינו (בספר לחמי תודה דף ד‬ ‫לבינה אות כתובה ואות צעיף וחוזר ממה שציין להש"ג בפרי מגדים או"ח‬ ‫ סבא קדישא (סבא קדישא חלק ב' תשובה א' שמאריך בה בחומר‬,)‫ח"א‬ ‫ בעצי‬,)‫ בהוכחות רבות מש"ס וראשונים‬,‫איסור היציאה לרחוב עם פאה‬ ‫ החיד"א (בברכי יוסף או"ח סימן ש"ג מחזיק ברכה‬,)‫ארזים (אהע"ז סימן כא‬ ‫ בעל לחמי תודה (דף‬,)‫ מח‬,‫ בעל תשובה מאהבה (סימן מז‬,)‫או"ח סימן ע"ה‬ ‫ רבי יוסף בן עזרא בעל עצמות יוסף‬,)‫י"ט) התורת שבת (סימן ש"ג בק"י‬ ‫ רבי אליהו‬,)‫ רבי יעקב אלגזי (אבי הרי"ט אלגזי‬,)‫(משא מלך ח"ז חקירה י‬ ‫הגאון מווילנא (שנות אליהו שבת פ"ו מ"ה ובהגהות רנ"ה שם ר' יהושע לייב‬ ‫ החתם סופר‬,)‫דיסקין אב"ד בריסק (שו"ת מהרי"ל דיסקין קונ"א סי' ר"ג‬ ‫ הדברי חיים מצאנז בעל דברי חיים‬,)‫(בצוואתו ובהגהותיו או"ח סי' ע"ה‬ ‫ בעל חקל יצחק (אמרי יוסף במדבר בסו"ס‬,)‫ ח"ב סי' נ"ט‬,‫(ח"א יו"ד סי' ל‬ ‫ הרב יששכר דוב רוקח מבעלזא‬,)‫ בעל ייטב לב ז"ל ( חיו"ד סי' שס"ו‬,)'‫סי' ו‬ ‫ הרב משה גרינוואלד בעל ערוגת הבשם (הכנה‬,)‫(קונטרס דיבורים קדושים‬ ‫ בעל דברי יואל‬,)‫ בעל מנחת אלעזר (נמוקי או"ח סי' ע"ה‬,)‫דרבה אות י"ח‬ ,)‫ ד‬,‫ מכתבים ח"א‬,‫ טיב לבב (ח"א עמוד י"ז‬,)‫(דברי יואל עה"ת ח"א עמוד ל"ד‬ ...‫ ועוד פוסקים ורבנים‬,)‫קהלת יעקב (מענה לשון ח"ג אות ר"מ‬

Divrei Chaim: “Most of the Poskim forbade the wearing of wigs…”(Shaalos u’Teshuvos Divrei Chaim, Yorah Daiya Part 2 Siman 59) Chasam Sofer: “Be careful not to chas v’shalom reveal even a small amount of flesh through short garments.

8. There is a halacha that a woman may not wear a wig in a reshus harabim on Shabbos, since the chachamim were afraid that she would remove it in order to show it off to her friend. Which balanced woman would take off her wig in public? And if the wig was seen, why would she need to take it off in order to display it? This is clear proof that the wig was completely covered when the woman went out. Chazal were afraid that she would slip off her wig from underneath her kerchief in order to show it to her friend. Therefore, they forbade the wearing of a wig in a public domain on Shabbos. In addition, even non-Jewish women covered their hair with kerchiefs in those days (Rashi Sanhedrin 58b). And this was the custom of many non-Jewish women up until fairly recently, as can be seen from pictures of previous generations, and is still the practice in Middle Eastern countries. ‫ הרב משה ארי' פריינד זצ"ל אב"ד עדה החרדית (בהסכמה לספר פאה‬.9 ‫ הרב משולם דוב סאלאווייטשיק ("הכתר והכבוד לחי‬,)‫נכרית בהלכה‬ ‫ וכן‬,)‫ הרב יצחק אבא אלפאי (שו"ת פני יצחק חלק שישי סימן ו‬,)"‫העולמים‬ ‫דעה של הרבה פוסקים ורבנים‬ .8 ‫ חלק א עמוד‬.10 ‫ לדעתי כל‬,‫ זה אצלי מאוס מאוד‬,‫ "אני לא מבחין בין פאה לשיער‬.11 ,‫ ואני מתכוון גם על הקצרות‬,‫האסונות באים מהפאות‬ ‫ בשיעור היומי בביהמ"ד "תפארת בחורים" תשס"ט‬.12 ‫ "אשרי האיש" פרק ט"ז‬.13

SO THE KIDS WENT TO… MAKES SENSE. THEY MUST HAVE BEEN IN THE BASEMENT WHEN THE HOUSE BLEW UP.

WHERE WERE YOU? WHY DIDN’T YOU WAIT HERE FOR ME AND MISHA AFTER THE HOUSE COLLAPSED? WE WERE SO WORRIED!

I’M SORRY. THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION, AND THE HOUSE COLLAPSED. MIGUEL, MATHIAS AND I WEREN’T INSIDE THE HOUSE. WE...

SHHH... IF THEY FIND OUT THAT WE SAW OR TALKED ABOUT WHAT THEY’RE DOING IN THE FORBIDDEN CITY, WE’LL ALL BE IN DANGER. SO DON’T TELL A SOUL!

LISTEN, LEIB. PEDRO’S GANG RULES MONIGOTES WITH AN IRON HAND. THEY EVEN HAVE CONNECTIONS WITH THE POLICE.

TO TELL OR NOT TO TELL? I WANT TO DO WHAT’S RIGHT… FOR NOW, I WON’T SAY ANYTHING. I’M NOT ALLOWED TO LIE, BUT I CAN TELL THE TRUTH IN A WAY THAT LEAVES SOME THINGS UNSAID.

NU, WHAT’S THIS SILENCE LIKE A FISH HEAD ON ROSH HASHANAH? WHERE WERE YOU?

WE WERE IN THE AREA... I’M SORRY I MADE YOU WORRY.

BOYS, LET’S MAKE OUR WAY HOME.

WRITTEN & ILLUSTRATED BY: BATSHEVA HAVLIN

GOOD, IT LOOKS LIKE HE DECIDED TO KEEP QUIET.

DARLING NEPHEWS! DO YOU WANT TO TELL ME WHERE YOU REALLY WERE

RECAP: YEHUDA RUBINOV NOTICES GUNPOWDER STAINS ON JUAN’S HANDS. THE CHILDREN RETURN HOME SAFELY.

AND MAYBE THE CAVES, TOO?

THAT’S ENOUGH! IN THE FIELDS... IN THE PRAIRIE...

WE SHOWED LEIB THE AREA, AND...

BOYS, IT’S GETTING REALLY LATE. RUN HOME NOW.

HUH! PEDRO... DO WHAT YOU CAN TO GET RID OF THE RUBINOV FAMILY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
