MAKE PARSHA A PRIORITY

(Re: Parsha Pick-Me-Up, Inbox, Issue 454)

In your most recent issue, a letter-writer wrote, “At this stage in life, I have hardly any time to read anything inspirational.... I barely know what parsha it is.” I was disappointed to read that.

You say you don’t have time to read anything inspirational, but you seem to find time to read magazines. Perhaps get a sefer or book on the weekly parsha and read that instead (there are many to choose from).

Being a busy Yiddishe mamme doesn’t preclude davening, learning the parsha, or reading something inspirational. We should all know the weekly parsha, Pirkei Avos, when Shabbos mevarchim is, and how many weeks to Yom Tov.

These are the important things to focus on in life.

MY WORD

I really enjoyed your summer dictionary. What an entertaining and validating compilation of words that define summer for most of us!

The entry that especially resonated was “thud,” although I couldn’t

MONSEY, NY

express it until your writer so perfectly did: the door that is never closed, the wet knapsacks dumped down, and the never-ending action and noise that make my head spin and my heart... thud. It also made me think about what word encapsulates summer for me, and what I came up with was “water”: the constant flow of wet things, dripping people, melting ice pops and some of my own tears escaping when no one is looking.

Thank you for the fun read!

RECIPE REVIEW

E.T.

I don’t have a pool, so it was fascinating to read the discussion between women who do. I guess I never really stopped to think about what it means to let others swim in your backyard. I always wondered about people who are not so forthcoming with allowing others to use their pool, but I realize now that it’s kind of like allowing people to use your living room; it’s your own personal space. And when your pool guests leave, you’re left with whatever mess they left behind.

So I want to say a huge public thank you to all of our friends and neighbors with pools who do allow and even invite my kids to swim on occasion. I totally get that pool guests are a big deal, and for my children, a summer swim means so much. Thank you for your generosity. We will try to be good guests!

(Re: Creative Cutlets, Issue 453)

I love trying the great recipes you print every week. I save the ones that came out really yummy. Sometimes I save them even if I didn’t try them, in case I want to try them one day.

Because of the way the recipes are printed on the page, when I want to clip a recipe, I need to be very careful or the measurements will get cut off. If possible, I’m sure many readers would appreciate it if you laid it out differently on the page so that wouldn’t happen.

Thanks,

YOUR SAY

CUT OUT THE WORK

I know it’s summer, but the clothing industry is no doubt already designing and manufacturing their upcoming winter line — or next summer line! I have a request for everyone in the industry: If you’re already manufacturing a line designed specifically for the frum community, please make sure the necklines are adequate.

Over and over again, I see heimishe stores carrying dresses, robes and tops that require the neckline to be altered. It ruins the cut of the dress and is a tremendous waste of money and time.

How special is Klal Yisroel that we go to such great lengths to stay true to Hashem. We even manufacture our own clothing lines so that we always look like children of the King. We even alter those clothes so they will be perfectly royal. But wouldn’t it be wonderful if we went the extra step and perfected the product so it does not require alterations?

PARSHAS KORACH

In the Merit of His Tefillah

Y. Levenstein

Before Korach and his followers brought the ketores, Moshe Rabbeinu turned to Hashem in tefillah, pleading, “Do not accept their offering…” ( Bamidbar 16:15).

Why did Moshe daven for this? Did he think it was at all possible that the ketores of a ba’al machlokes who was out to fight the navi of Hakadosh Baruch Hu would be accepted?

ONE DAY, the Chozeh of Lublin, zy”a, set out on his way, accompanied by a group of chassidim. They were due to spend Shabbos in a faraway town. But the trip was difficult and took longer than expected. When Friday morning arrived and the Chozeh saw that they were still far from their destination, he instructed the wagon driver to release the reins and allow the horses to travel in whatever direction they desired. It was nearly Shabbos when they stopped in a small village.

The chassidim knew that if the villagers were to see the tzaddik who had unexpectedly arrived in their midst, they would jump to welcome, serve and host him. But the Chozeh had a different plan. He told his chassidim not to reveal who he was or even that they were chassidim of the Chozeh. “Clearly, I’m not a Rebbe, if I was not enabled by Above to reach my destination,” he said.

And so, the group entered the shul without telling anyone who they were. After davening, the chassidim were invited, one by one, by various villagers. Finally, only one guest remained in shul — the Chozeh himself. The elderly shammas was sitting and waiting for him to finish davening so he could leave.

The Chozeh told him he planned to remain in shul. Had the Chozeh finished davening earlier, along with everyone else, chances were that he’d have been invited by one of the villagers. But by now there was no one left in shul.

“I would invite you to my home,” the shammas said, “but I literally have nothing but a drop of wine for kiddush and two small pieces of

bread for lechem mishnah.”

“I don’t need anything more than that to fulfill the mitzvah of seudas Shabbos,” the Chozeh replied.

“If so, be my guest! I will share the bit that I do have.”

The two walked together to the home of the shammas

When the shammas heard that his guest hailed from Lublin, his eyes lit up. “Do you know the Rebbe of Lublin, the famous Chozeh?” he asked.

“Yes, I know him well,” the Chozeh replied. “I spend a lot of time in his court.”

The elderly shammas grew emotional. He told his guest that when he was quite a bit younger, he had been a melamed, and one of his students grew up to be none other than the Chozeh of Lublin! He remembered well how young Itze’le would sometimes disappear in middle of learning, and how he would hit him in punishment. The child never explained where he used to go, but the melamed once followed him and discovered that he used to sit alone in the forest near the village and scream loudly, “Shema Yisroel!”

“From that day on,” the shammas said, “I left the boy alone. I never hit him again. I realized this was not a regular child. The years passed, and I was proven right — my student grew to become the great Rebbe of Lublin!

“Since then, I’ve dreamed of traveling to Lublin to see the tzaddik with my own eyes. I even saved up money over many years, but I’m coming to realize that I may be too old for such a trip… I began to fast once a week, and I beg the Ribbono Shel Olam that I shouldn’t leave this world before I have the opportunity to see my old talmid.”

When the Chozeh heard the words of his childhood teacher, he realized why his trip had gone off track, and why he had arrived at this far-flung village.

“You should know,” the Chozeh said, “that your tefillos were accepted. I am your old talmid — and only through pure hashga-

“I started to fast once a week, and I beg the Ribbono Shel Olam that I shouldn’t leave this world before I have the opportunity to see my old talmid”

Dovid Hamelech’s Promise Changes the Diagnosis

Mordechai sank into his seat in the beis midrash and let out a spontaneous sigh. It had been one of the most challenging days of his life.

“What’s the matter?” his chavrusa Yitzchak asked, concern evident in his voice.

Mordechai tried brushing him off, but ever a good friend, Yitzchak pushed Mordechai to share.

“I went for my routine annual physical… the doctors ordered more tests… and the results…” Mordechai’s voice trailed off, unable to complete his sentence. He sighed again. “Oh… I simply don’t know how to share this with my wife and children…”

At nearly 40, Mordechai was simply too young to resign to his fate. Surgery, treatments – a whole new world loomed ahead, post-diagnosis.

“Did you try Tehillim Kollel?” Yitzchak asked.

“That doesn’t sound like a doctor, does it?” Mordechai replied.

It didn’t take much convincing for Mordechai to agree to call in with his name so a minyan of bnei Torah would daven for him in Meron, in Ribnitz, and other mekomos hakedoshim. He asked that they have him in mind, that the treatment should be effective and that he should be able to handle the side effects.

Several days later, Mordechai went back to his doctor for more testing before beginning treatment. He was in for a shock – a good shock.

“The growth is benign!” the doctors pronounced. With just a good dose of medication, he would feel better in no time.

Yitzchak was the first to receive a phone call with the happy news.

“You see!” Yitzchak said ecstatically. “Dovid Hamelech promises us, ‘ םליצי םהיתוקוצממ ,םהל רצב ...וקעציו

(Tehillim 107:6). When a person in pain calls out to Hashem, Hashem helps! You followed Dovid Hamelech’s own advice by signing up to Tehillim Kollel… which made his words come true!”

Dovid Hamelech promises. Salvation is near.

About an hour after the Chozeh and his chassidim traveled away from the village, the Chozeh instructed the wagon driver to turn around

chas Hashem did I arrive here in order to fulfill the request you davened for!”

The shammas was overjoyed. All Shabbos long, he reveled in his guest’s presence. When Shabbos was over, he parted from the Chozeh emotionally.

About an hour after the Chozeh and his chassidim traveled away from the village, the Chozeh instructed the wagon driver to turn around. There, they discovered that the elderly shammas had passed away, and preparations were being made for the levayah.

After paying his teacher his final respects, the Chozeh turned to his chassidim and said, “Know that this Yid should have passed away a while ago, and only because he davened from the depths of his heart was he allowed to remain alive until his request would be fulfilled.”

Even the tefillah of a simple Jew has the power to change life’s destiny.

* * * *

The Mashgiach Rav Yeruchem Levovitz, zt”l, explained that Korach was certainly not worthy of having his ketores accepted. Still, Moshe Rabbeinu knew that if Korach and his followers would daven from the depths of their hearts, they would have the power of tefillah on their side.

The koach hatefillah is so powerful, it can even change something that has already been decreed, and even if the person davening is not worthy.

That’s why Moshe Rabbeinu davened to Hashem that Korach’s ketores not be accepted. He was worried that Korach would be mispallel, and then even his unworthy offering would be received.

Adapted from the teachings of Rav Mordechai Freundlich, zt”l.

Wieder Scores Primary Win

County Legislator Aron Wieder scored a big win on June 25, beating Eudson Francois and becoming the Democratic nominee for the 97th Assembly seat in the November general election.

While early returns showed Francois in the lead, Wieder’s numbers quickly rose, and he beat his opponent with more than 67% of the total vote. Wieder earned 3,839 votes, besting Francois’s 1,817, with 40 voters casting their ballots for write-in candidates.

“It was very refreshing to see the overwhelming support throughout the entire district, in the Town of Ramapo and in the Town of Orangetown,” Wieder told The Monsey View. “I’m looking forward to a spirited campaign for the general election with a similar outcome.”

With Wieder in the running in November, there will be seven members of the Jewish community running for the Assembly in the general election, including incumbents Sam Berger, Ari Brown, Simcha Eichenstein and David Weprin, as well as City Councilman Kalman Yeger, who won a primary challenge in the 41st District, and Joey Cohen-Saban, who is running on the Democratic party line in the 45th District.

Eichenstein told Hamodia that he is looking forward to welcoming more members of the tribe to the Assembly, congratulating both Yeger and Wieder on their respective wins.

“I am excited to further expand our ‘chavrusashaft ’ of frum assembly members by adding my good friends Kalman Yeger and Aron Wieder,” said Eichenstein. “This is great news for the broader Orthodox community and further proof that when we are united and we vote, we send a clear message that we matter.”

Setback for Yeshivas as Appellate Court Upholds State Curriculum Regulations

There was bad news for New York State yeshivas last week: An Appellate Court overturned a 2023 Supreme Court decision that relaxed New York State Education Department regulations regarding secular education in nonpublic schools.

The vote passed by a margin of 4–1. Writing for the majority in a 12-page decision, Justice Elizabeth Garry said that the State Supreme Court had erred in striking down regulations that could have had parents potentially facing jail time for sending their children to schools whose curricula were not equivalent to that of New York State’s public schools.

“The Commissioner’s ability to enforce the statutory directive must be upheld,” wrote Garry, noting that educational institutions were required to provide what the law refers to as “substantially equivalent” instruction to students in order to qualify as schools under state law.

Of note was Garry’s contention that yeshiva students would have no time to supplement their secular learning, if necessary, because of the length of their school day, strongly suggesting that the state regulations would apply only to yeshivas, and not other nonpublic schools.

Yeshiva advocates are expected to escalate the matter to the state’s highest court, the Court of Appeals. Rav Yisroel Reisman, Rosh Yeshivah of Yeshiva Torah Vodaath, who has been deeply involved in the protracted legal battle, said that he hopes the appeals court will realize that yeshivas are being unfairly targeted by the regulations.

“We see this as Hakadosh Baruch Hu wanting us to continue to daven for the welfare of our mosdos haTorah,” said Rav Reisman.

Mincha Area and Sloatsburg Rest Stop Both Reopen for Summer, Albeit in Different Locations

Summer travelers will have ample places to stop on their way up to the Catskills, with both the Mincha area and the Sloatsburg rest stop opening last week in time for the busy travel season.

The New York State Thruway Authority announced the reopening of the Sloatsburg rest area on June 26, making it the eighteenth service stop on the roadway to be revamped as part of a $450 million redesign and redevelopment project. Located on the southbound side of the Thruway just north of Exit 15A, the 20,000-square-foot facility is one of the largest on the busy roadway. In addition to several fast-food eateries,

it features a playground and outdoor seating with four levelthree high-speed EV chargers being added to the site.

The rest area’s closure last summer had the long-standing Tefilas Mordche Mincha Area relocating to Hillburn, a short distance from the Thruway. But with the Thruway Authority unsure of the completion date for the Sloatsburg renovation as of just a few weeks ago, arrangements were made to move the davening spot to a tent in the Spring Valley Marketplace parking lot, at least for this year. Located off Thruway Exit 14, and very close to the Palisades Parkway and the Garden State Parkway, the shopping center will have late hours on Thursday nights, offering drivers a place to daven, as well as multiple kosher conveniences and restroom facilities.

The first Mincha was held on June 27, with the tent set up in the parking lot across from the entrance to The Marketplace mall. Over 1,000 people stopped to daven at the Mincha area, which is named in memory of Reb Mordche Friedman, who supervised the Thruway prayer area for years, a legacy that Rabbi Abe Friedman has continued since his father’s untimely passing in 2010.

“The beginning of the season at the Mincha area has been a resounding success thus far,” Rabbi Friedman told The Monsey View. “The feedback we’ve received has been overwhelmingly positive.”

The three-sided Mincha tent will remain up at Spring Valley Marketplace through August 29, the final official Thursday night of the summer season.

Public Charter Debuting Semi-Private Westchester to Florida Flights

Passengers looking to avoid lengthy hassles and enjoy a more luxurious flight to South Florida are in luck, as a public charter operator has announced service between Westchester County Airport and three Sunshine State destinations, starting this fall.

The seasonal semi-private service will be available to West Palm Beach, Boca Raton and Naples on JSX. Passengers will save as much as two hours per trip by avoiding the crowds and long lines, with flights leaving from JSX’s private terminals. The carrier’s 30-seat planes offer every flyer serious legroom, two checked bags, high speed WiFi, in-seat power, free gourmet snacks and beverages, and plane-side baggage retrieval, and with state-

of-the-art TSA-approved security screening, flyers can check in as little as 20 minutes before their flights.

JSX will begin offering its new once-daily flights to West Palm Beach on November 15, with service also starting from Morristown, New Jersey, on November 22. Introductory fares start at $669 for a one-way ticket. Once-daily flights to Boca Raton and Naples will be offered five days per week starting November 22, with one-way fares starting at $669 and $689, respectively.

JSX has been recognized by the Airline Passenger Experience Association as the world’s only Five Star Regional Airline for the past five years in a row. Founded in 2016, the carrier prides itself on providing “joyful, simple, and reliable air travel,” making its “hop-on jet service” available to all.

“As we continue to expand our network, we take great pride in ensuring an unmatched level of service at an unbeatable and attainable price point,” said JSX chief commercial officer David Drabinsky.

Local Man Arrested for Threats Targeting New Square

A Suffern man was arrested last week for making threatening remarks on social media that targeted New Square’s Jewish community.

The Ramapo Police Department said that it began investigating threats made by the 44-year-old on June 25. The posts contained the words “Zionists live here,” alongside a reference to weapons and a map that included both New Square and Kiryas Joel.

With a large wedding planned in New Square that night, police officers were dispatched to the village as a precautionary measure. At the same time, police contacted the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office, identifying the person who posted the threatening remarks within two hours. Police interviewed the man, who underwent a mental health evaluation and was later arrested on June 28. The unnamed individual was charged with making a terroristic threat, a class D felony, and after being arraigned the next day, was released on his own recognizance.

STORIES OF SUMMER: ﬁctional narratives on real-life topics

Someone jostles her from behind. “How much longer? I need the phone.”

Dini huddles closer to the receiver.

“Ma?”

Her mother sighs. “It can’t be all bad. Camp is fun! Mali loved every second.”

“It is bad. I hate it. I told you I would hate it. And Mali might be my sister but we aren’t the same person.”

She feels her heart thudding in her chest. Ma won’t understand. She thrives on people. She’ll talk for hours to old friends in the grocery aisle. Dini freezes when she sees her classmates down the street and barely stutters through a stilted hello.

“Can’t you try to enjoy? Make friends! Give it a chance! I’d love to be in eighth grade and back at camp.”

Not this again. Her mother had “started talking to a random girl the first day during lunch and Laylie and I haven’t stopped schmoozing since,” and her sister Mali had been head counselor last year. Head counselor! Dini shudders.

“I don’t want to make friends. I hate talking to people. Yap yap yap. It doesn’t end. Alo and Lagerfeld and school stories. Who wants to talk all day? Honestly, I’d rather read a book.”

“Dini, this isn’t healthy. You’re young, you’re— “

The girl behind her speaks up. “Kay this isn’t fair, I need the phone. This isn’t your bedroom. Can you hurry?”

“—and you have to give them a chance,” her mother finishes.

“Ma, I couldn’t hear —”

“Sheifala, I have to go get Mimi from the babysitter—”

“Ma, I—”

“Try, okay? I think you can love it. Call me Friday. I must run. Bye!”

“I—”

The dial tone buzzes in her ear, shrill and unyielding.

“I—”

Dini slowly hangs up the phone.

I don’t think I can do this, she thinks in despair. She pictures days and weeks ahead filled with clamorous lunch tables and cheering bunks. The tears well up. Again. She commands them to wait until later, after lights out.

“Finally,” the girl behind her hu s. “Now let me see if I can speed talk to my sister who, by the way, just had a baby.”

Dini shu es down the path to her room, sneakers kicking up tiny storms of dust. She watches a centipede scuttle by and sighs.

A group of girls amble down the path, chattering and giggling. Dini changes course and sits down beside a tree.

Why can’t she talk and laugh and be carefree like them? What’s wrong with her?

Our experts weigh in:

Listen without judgement and maintain communication with the camp.

Encourage gradual exposure to unfamiliar activities and role-play social scenarios at home for practice.

Reinforce positive e orts and small victories through letters or scheduled phone calls.

Everyone has a story.

JULY

1944

Ivan Roluk looks behind him. Twenty train cars, filled with over one thousand wounded Nazi soldiers, snake behind the locomotive he is driving, like a meandering river. In the caboose at the tail of the train is his wife Maria, his son Stephan, and the fourteen-year-old Jewish girl, Rachel. It’s time to give them the signal.

Ivan applies the brakes, slowing down the train. Then he blows the horn… once… twice… three times.

He looks back. Have they jumped out of the caboose? Or were those just shadows he saw?

Suddenly, he hears a door slam. What is that? It sounds like the door connecting the locomotive to the first car, which is occupied

by high-ranking Nazi officers. Is one of them coming up front?

The moment of truth has arrived. Ivan releases the brakes and thrusts the throttle full steam ahead.

He would never show it, but in his heart of hearts he is terrified. He loves his family. He does not want to die.

How did that Jewish girl show so much courage? Where did she get it from? How could she be so sure of herself, of her plan?

There is no more time for thinking. He leans out the open side door. The wind blows in his face. The ground speeds past him. He takes a step —

As he jumps, the thought keeps running through his head: That Jewish girl was not afraid, that Jewish girl was not afraid, that Jewish girl was not afraid….

After an agonizing wait, Gavi is finally out of surgery. But when two doctors examine Gavi posttransplant, they discover that something is wrong.

Try and save his life? What was the doctor saying?

“So what’s the next step?” I asked the surgeon as we reached the OR.

“We’re heading into surgery again,” Dr. Cohen replied. “There’s a blockage, and we need to open it. In a best-case scenario, it will take less than an hour.”

With those reassuring words, he disappeared once again, along with Gavi and the rest of the medical staff, behind those swinging doors.

It was 8:35 p.m., and once again, I was all alone in the waiting room I’d been in less than eight hours earlier. I called my mother-in-law to update her, and even though I’d been holding it all together for so long, this felt like too much. I began sobbing hysterically.

“I’m on my way,” my mother-in-law promised.

Then I called my mother. She told me she was coming too, but I said, “No, don’t come. I’ll need you tomorrow. Hopefully this surgery will be over by the time you’ll be able to get here. Please, please just daven.”

I was still alone in the empty, silent waiting room when my phone rang; my mother-in-law was on the line.

“Debbie,” she said hesitantly, “would you mind if I send Baila instead? I’m afraid I’m not going to be able to be emotionally present for you right now.”

I agreed, and my newlywed sister-in-law Baila, who was Gavi’s younger sister, came with her new husband. I was still crying when they arrived. They stood awkwardly by the entrance, and then they both started crying too.

Baila came in and wrapped me in a hug. Her husband went off to buy some nosh and choco late. None of us touched it. An hour passed, then two. There were no updates and no news, and since it was already 11:00 p.m., there was no receptionist either.

Eventually a cleaner came through the swinging doors, and I seized my opportunity. I grabbed the door before it could lock itself again and slipped into the staff-only area of the OR. I found a nurse and cornered her.

CHAPTER10 AS TOLD TO EMUNA STEIN

I FOUND A NURSE AND CORNERED HER.

I stared at him.

“Go home,” he said. “Go to sleep. You need to rest. They’re not going to wake him up until tomorrow, and they won’t let you into the ICU at this hour. You’ll see him in the morning.”

“Please,” I said. “Goldberg. What’s going on?!” “I’m sorry, honey, I’m a recovery nurse,” she said. “I really have no information.” Then she firmly showed me back to the waiting room.

At my wits’ end, I called a nurse with whom we had become friendly over the last few weeks in the hospital.

“PLEASE,” I SAID. “GOLDBERG. WHAT’S GOING ON?!”

“I’m so sorry to call your personal number,” I said, “but please, are you in the hospital right now? Can you get me an update on Gavi?” And I told him what was going on.

“I’m not in the hospital now,” the nurse said slowly, “but let me see if I can get you an update.”

He called me back a few minutes later.

“I just spoke to the anesthesiologist,” the nurse reported. “He said they’re still operating and that it will still take some time. Nothing went awfully wrong, but they’re still working on him.”

In a daze, I updated Baila and her husband, and we headed to the exit. I called my mother-in-law and mother to update them, and then we traveled back to my in-laws’ home.

We got there after 2 in the morning, and I managed to fall into some sort of disjointed sleep.

At 5:30, I jolted awake.

ICU. Call the ICU.

I dialed with shaky fingers in the dark.

“Goldberg,” I croaked. “It’s Debbie Goldberg. How is my husband?”

There was a pause.

“He’s okay,” a nurse finally replied, “but we’re not sure how he’s doing. We’ll have to call you back shortly.”

Panic. Blinding panic. I waited by the phone for a full 45 minutes before calling back.

“Please, give me an update!” I begged. “What’s going on?”

“We’re not sure,” the nurse said. “I’m going to call you back.”

“No!” I shouted. “That’s what you said before, and no one called me back! Don’t hang up on me!”

This far-from-reassuring tidbit was still better than nothing, but at 12:45, we were still waiting.

“What in the world is going on?” I asked Baila. She shrugged helplessly and hugged me again.

Just before 1 a.m., the nurse called me back.

“They’re done,” he said. “They’re closing him up, and someone will be out to talk to you soon.”

Indeed, a few minutes later, a surgeon came out to speak to us. Baila and her husband retreated to give me privacy.

“We managed to save him,” the doctor said. “You have a lot for which to be thankful.” He looked at me. “The fact that we found this blockage and took care of it in time is nothing short of a miracle. We had to be pretty creative in there, but I think we were able to solve the problem.”

“I’m sorry,” the nurse said. “I don’t have any information for you at the moment. I will call you back.”

At 6:30, I sent a voice message to the transplant coordinator. “Ayelet, are you in the hospital? Please check the ICU and tell me what’s going on with Gavi!”

Ayelet called me back a few minutes later.

“I’m not usually here at this hour,” she said, “But I came in early today. I’m going to check on him for you.”

She called me again from the ICU. “Debbie, everything is under control. There’s a lot of pressure in the ICU, and they can’t call you often, but I’m here for you. I’m going to keep you updated.” There was a pause. “And Debbie? Pray for him. Gavi’s body has been through a lot, and he isn’t doing so well.”

The fear and loneliness pierced through me. In the past, at each step of the way, Gavi and I handled it all together. Whatever the situation, I always had Gavi to talk to. But now he was intubated and sedated, and I was all alone to face my fears.

FOR ALL OCCASIONS

UPGRADED BURGERS WITH BEEF FRY AIOLI

Summer can’t go by without a good burger! This recipe is not your standard burger; the seasoning mix gives it a special touch. I keep the extra mix in my spice cabinet and use it anytime I use ground beef (like for sloppy joes or meatballs).

The beef fry aioli adds a burst of great flavor. Spread the aioli on a bun and top with a burger and choice of sandwich components.

A great way to serve burgers to a crowd is by setting up a burger bar. Have your burgers ready to grill, and set up a table with buns, toppings and a variety of condiments.

INGREDIENTS BURGERS

1.5 lb. ground meat

1 lb. ground lamb*

3 T. teriyaki sauce

¼ cup breadcrumbs

3 T. burger seasoning

SEASONING MIX

¼ cup salt

2 T. paprika

2 T. garlic powder

1 T. onion powder

1½ T. dried parsley

½ T. dried basil

½ T. cumin

½ T. black pepper

1 tsp. chili powder

1 tsp. dry mustard

BEEF FRY AIOLI

1 (4 oz.) package Meal Mart beef fry, diced

¾ cup mayo

1 T. Dijon mustard

1 tsp. onion flakes

½ tsp. salt

Pinch of black pepper

2 tsp. pickle juice

DIRECTIONS

1. Start by preparing the burger seasoning mix: In a jar, combine all ingredients. Shake well to combine.

2. For the burgers: In a large bowl or bag, combine all burger ingredients. Mix by hand until just combined. (Overmixing will cause the burger to be tough.) Shape into 12 patties of uniform size.

3. Preheat the grill to 500°. Once preheated, reduce the temperature to 350°. Grill burgers for 3 minutes per side.

4. For the aioli: Heat a large skillet. Add the beef fry, and cook until crispy, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

5. In a bowl, add the beef fry and the fat, along with the rest of the aioli ingredients. Mix until combined. Serve on a bun topped with a fresh burger.

*Note: If you can’t find ground lamb, simply swap it for dark chicken or more meat.

BEST MARINATED STEAK

In the past, I always grilled my meat with just salt and pepper. It was great, but I felt like I needed more flavor. This recipe is deliciously flavorful but not too overpowering.

INGREDIENTS

4 of your favorite steaks (such as rib steak, rib eye steak or club steak)

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

¼ cup (fish-free) Worcestershire sauce

3 T. low-sodium soy sauce

1 T. lemon juice

1 T. Dijon mustard

3 large garlic cloves, crushed

2 T. Montreal steak seasoning

1 T. dried minced onions

PENCIL DRAWER

I’ve been cooking since I was a rambunctious kid swinging on my mother’s apron strings, and over the decades I’ve reached a pretty good level of cooking prowess, both professionally and recreationally. The same, more or less, goes for baking.

However, there was always one somewhat embarrassing “blind spot” in my culinary portfolio, an area that, for whatever reason, I never had the chance to develop: outdoor grilling, or barbecuing.

I’d made peace with it (even my chef’s pride has its limits), but when my family surprised me last year with a nice gas grill as a birthday present, I realized it was time to up my game. Fortunately, I was able to get a handle on the basics of successful grilling, and I’d like to share some tips with those of you who may be embarking on the same journey.

Before we dive into specific foods and recipes, let’s cover some basic grilling principles.

PREPARATION

Preheat Your Grill

Preheating your grill is essential for several reasons. First, it ensures that the grill grates are thoroughly heated, which helps to sear meats properly and create those geshmak-looking grill marks. Additionally, preheating allows any residual food particles or grease from previous grilling sessions to burn out, resulting in a cleaner cooking surface and a reduced risk of flare-ups.

For gas grills, turning on the burners to high and closing the lid for about ten to fifteen minutes allows the grill to reach the desired temperature. For charcoal grills, lighting the coals and letting them burn until they’re covered with white ash (about twenty to thirty minutes) prepares the grill for cooking.

Clean the Grill Grates

Cleaning the grill grates is an important step in ensuring that your food doesn’t stick to the grill, erasing the grill

WHEN MY FAMILY SURPRISED ME WITH A NICE GAS GRILL, I REALIZED IT WAS TIME TO UP MY GAME

marks. Once the grill is hot, use a metal-bristled grill brush to scrape away any remaining food particles, grease or debris from the grates. This helps maintain a clean cooking surface and prevents unwanted flavors from transferring to your food. It also prolongs the life of your grates and ensures more consistent cooking results.

Oil the Grates

After cleaning the grill grates, oil them lightly to further prevent sticking. I don’t always do this, but when I do, the difference is remarkable. Lightly coating the grates with a high-heat cooking oil such as vegetable oil, canola oil or grapeseed oil creates a thin, nonstick layer on the grates, making it easier to flip and remove food.

To oil the grates, place an oily wad of paper towel between tongs, and carefully rub it over the hot grill grates. Be sure to grease the grates only lightly to avoid excess oil dripping onto the flames, which can cause flare-ups.

HEAT

How hot is hot enough?

Now that your grill has been properly prepped, the next thing to tackle is proper flame and heat management while actually grilling.

High Heat (450–650°)

High heat is ideal for quickly searing meats and achieving a nice caramelization on the exterior while keeping the interior juicy. On a gas grill, you can achieve high heat by turning all burners to the highest setting. For charcoal grills, spread the hot coals evenly across the charcoal grate.

Medium Heat (350–450°)

Medium heat is perfect for most grilling tasks, including cooking chicken breasts, steaks and vegetables. On a gas grill, you can achieve medium heat by setting the burners to

OPEN AND SHUT CASE

There’s a famous vort I love to tell: A good shver keeps his wallet open and his mouth closed (an ideal at which I personally succeed only on occasion). In grilling, too, knowing when to open and close your grill cover is essential. Keep the grill closed when cooking thicker cuts of meat or items that require longer cooking times, such as ribs or whole chickens. This helps trap the heat and smoke inside the grill, allowing the food to cook more evenly and develop a delicious smoky flavor. For quicker-cooking items like burgers or fish, you can leave the grill open to monitor them more closely and prevent them from overcooking.

medium or alternating between on and off. For charcoal grills, create a two-zone fire by banking the coals to one side, leaving the other side cooler.

Low Heat (250–350°)

Low heat is best for slow-cooking delicate items, such as ribs or fish fillets. On a gas grill, you can achieve low heat by turning the burners to the lowest setting. For charcoal grills, spread a thin layer of coals on the bottom of the grill.

TO GRILL, OR NOT TO GRILL?

Not all foods are equal, especially when it comes to grilling. When selecting foods to grill, it’s important to go with items that can withstand the heat and won’t dry out too quickly. For example, hearty meats like steaks, burgers and chicken thighs are perfect for grilling because they can retain their moisture despite the high temperature. Delicate items like fish and vegetables require a bit more attention to prevent them from overcooking or falling apart on the grill. That’s why it’s advisable to place them on the cooler edges of the grill.

One of the most common disappointments of grilling is ending up with dry, overcooked food. To prevent this, it’s essential to keep a close eye on your grill. Avoid the urge to constantly flip or move your food around, as this can cause it to lose moisture. Instead, have the savlanus to let your food cook undisturbed for a few minutes on each side to develop a nice sear and lock in the juices. Additionally, consider using a marinade or dry rub to add flavor and moisture to your dishes before grilling.

CAN WE EAT YET?

Yes, yes. Let’s get grilling with a selection of simple and popular barbecue faves!

The essentials of grilling include grilling times, temperatures and techniques discussed above. That’s it. Otherwise, all of these recipes can be adapted to your family’s taste.

GRILLED CHICKEN CUTLETS

INGREDIENTS

4 chicken cutlets

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 T. olive oil

Juice of 1 lemon

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 T. fresh rosemary, chopped

1 T. fresh thyme leaves

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375° to 400°.

2. Season chicken cutlets with salt and pepper.

3. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic and chopped herbs.

4. Place chicken cutlets into the marinade, and coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

5. Remove chicken from marinade, and grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until fully cooked and nicely charred. (Internal temperature should reach 165°.)

6. Keep the grill lid closed as much as possible to maintain heat and ensure even cooking.

7. Serve hot with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and garnish with additional fresh herbs for a burst of color and flavor.

GRILLING TIPS

1. Preheating the grill ensures that the chicken cooks evenly and gets those beautiful grill marks.

2. Using a meat thermometer is the most accurate way to determine if chicken is fully cooked and safe to eat.

3. Letting the chicken marinate not only adds flavor, but also helps keep it moist and juicy on the grill.

GRILLED HOT DOGS OR SAUSAGES

INGREDIENTS

6 hot dogs or sausages

6 hot dog buns

Your favorite condiments (ketchup, mustard, relish, onions, etc.)

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the grill to mediumhigh heat, around 375° to 400°.

2. Place hot dogs or sausages on the grill, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are heated through and have grill marks.

3. Toast hot dog buns on the grill for a minute or two, until they are warm and lightly toasted.

4. Keep the grill lid open while cooking hot dogs or sausages to prevent them from overheating and bursting.

5. Serve immediately.

GRILLING TIPS

1. Unlike when grilling most meats, turning the hot dogs or sausages frequently ensures even cooking and prevents them from burning.

2. Toasting the buns on the grill adds a delicious smoky flavor and will help them hold up to the juicy toppings.

CLASSIC BURGERS

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. ground beef

Salt and pepper to taste

1 T. fish-free Worcestershire sauce

4 burger buns

Your favorite toppings (lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise)

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 375° to 400°.

2. Season ground beef with salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce.

3. Form four equal-sized patties with an indentation in the center of each.

4. Grill burgers for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness is reached. (For medium-rare, cook to an internal temperature of 130° to 135°; for medium, cook to 140° to 145°.)

5. Keep the grill lid closed as much as possible to maintain heat and ensure juicy burgers.

6. Toast buns on the grill for a minute or two, until lightly golden.

7. Serve burgers on buns with desired toppings.

GRILLING TIPS

1. Avoid pressing down on the burgers with a spatula while cooking, as this can cause them to lose their moisture.

2. Letting the burgers rest for a few minutes after grilling allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier burger.

STUFFED PITA WITH GROUND BEEF

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. ground beef

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp. ground cumin

1 tsp. ground coriander

½ tsp. ground cinnamon

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 pita bread rounds

Your favorite toppings (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, tahini)

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 375° to 400°.

2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, onion and garlic until beef is browned and onions are soft. Add cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt and pepper, and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

3. Cut each pita bread round in half to create two pockets. Open each pocket, and fill with a generous portion of the ground beef mixture.

4. Brush the outside of each stuffed pita with olive oil.

5. Grill stuffed pitas for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.

6. Keep the grill lid closed as much as possible to ensure even cooking.

7. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

GRILLING TIPS

1. Brushing the outside of the stuffed pitas with olive oil helps them crisp up and forms a delicious golden-brown crust.

2. Using a grill basket or grill mat can prevent the stuffed pitas from sticking to the grates.

GRILLED CORN ON THE COB

INGREDIENTS

4 ears of corn, husks removed

Mehadrin

WayFare Parve

Butter, softened

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: chili powder, nutritional yeast, lime wedges

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the grill to mediumhigh heat, around 375° to 400°.

2. Rub each ear of corn with softened parve butter, and season with salt and pepper.

3. Place corn directly on the grill grates, and lower the lid.

4. Grill for 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until kernels are tender and slightly charred.

5. Remove corn from the grill, and serve hot as a delicious side dish or snack.

Optional: Sprinkle grilled corn with chili powder and nutritional yeast for added flavor. Serve with lime wedges for a burst of brightness.

GRILLING TIPS

1. Soaking the corn in water before grilling helps keep it moist and prevents it from drying out.

2. Closing the grill lid while cooking helps trap heat and cook the corn evenly.

And now for the ubiquitous (but delicious!) barbecue dessert…

GRILLED S’MORES

INGREDIENTS

Graham crackers

Marshmallows

Chocolate bars, broken into squares

DIRECTIONS

4. Place grilled marshmallows on top of the chocolate squares, and cover with the remaining graham crackers to form sandwiches.

5. Wrap each s’more in aluminum foil, and place back on the grill for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt slightly.

6. Remove from the grill, unwrap, and enjoy the gooey goodness of grilled s’mores!

GRILLING TIPS

1. Using skewers to grill marshmallows helps prevent them from falling in between the grill grates.

2. Wrapping the s’mores in aluminum foil helps contain the heat and melt the chocolate evenly.

We would like to begin this letter by expressing our sincerest בוטה תרכה for your unwavering תוליפת, support, and קוזיח over these past eight challenging years.

A year-and-a-half ago, we were הכוז to a tremendous העושי when a newly assigned judge to the case dismissed the two guilty verdicts handed down by the jury in the 2019 trial. However, only the convictions were dismissed, but not the actual indictments, allowing for a new trial to be brought on the two remaining charges.

Legal experts believed that due to the weakness of the charges and the overwhelming clarity of innocence that has come to light, the state would not pursue the case any further. Unfortunately, this is not the case, and the prosecution is bringing forth a new trial against all odds. The state's obsession to try to convict an irreproachable individual who has dedicated his life helping special needs children and their families is hard to understand, but this is the will of אוה ךורב שודקה, and we accept it with love.

The trial is scheduled to begin in just a few weeks, and is a tremendous danger to us, taking into consideration that a frum Yid will be judged by a jury of 12 laymen in today’s volatile atmosphere.

Each one of the two charges carry a maximum sentence of ten years prison ל"ר, and we have no choice but to once again turn to you, םינמחר ינב םינמחר, for help. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are urgently needed to prepare for trial, as well as outstanding legal fees that must be paid immediately.

Please don't let us down now that we are hopefully nearing the end of this years-long saga. Please daven for טמורפ הנח ןב רשא, and in the םיברה תוכז may we be הכוז to our long sought העושי as well as the ultimate העושי – א"בבצגבב.

Here, families who like to spend time in the fresh air — while keeping the kitchen clean — share what their favorite picnic spots are and how they throw a solid picnic.

Hi, our name is

The (extended) Klein Family

Favorite picnic spot

Manny Welder Park

With fields to enjoy, a playground to frolic in, trails to bike and picnic tables dotting the landscape, we end up gravitating to this park even after we enthusiastically all agree to “do something different this time.” It helps that some of us live within walking distance of what we will always know as Viola Park. The iconic sandbox is the biggest draw for the kids (and perhaps the biggest drawback for their mothers, but we do let them get all grainy anyhow. It’s summer!).

Since we are a large number of siblings, each family brings an item or two so everything is covered without too much work falling on one person. (But who are we kidding, one person will always work harder than everyone else.)

We usually opt for a meal of deli sandwiches, some schnitzel thrown in to assuage the guilt any mother may have, and loads of fruits and veggies to go around.

The Silber Siblings

Picnic spot

One of our backyards

As the mothers of little kids, toddlers and newborns, sometimes it’s just good to be close to home (and to working facilities), and so every few weeks, we get together in one of our backyards (though the crowds end up spilling into the house, too). We order some pizza and fries, and each of us cuts up a pan of a different fruit or vegetable. And if it’s the right sister’s house, we might get smoothies, too. Or acai bowls!

Hi, our name is

The Gross Family

Picnic spot

Ringwood State Park

It’s over twenty minutes away, but this shady nature area with a relaxing stream and rustic bridge is one we like to visit at least once a summer. And since the park is out of the Town of Ramapo, we get to grill there!

We usually choose an isolated picnic table in a grassy area (though larger groups like to stick to the tables near the stream), set up our grill, and get cooking — all while the kids relax on the grass or run up and down the hilly area while the food gets ready.

We then return everything to the car and enjoy a little walk on the shady trails to the sound of gurgling water. Our kids are still young, but families of older kids sometimes like to take the one-hour hike to Shepherd’s Lake.

Garbage bag

Waterproof box or bag for grill so we can take it home to clean

We live near a public school, and that means that the grassy field surrounding it on all sides is ours to enjoy in the afternoon hours. At least we make some good use of our tax money!

Instead of doling out portions outdoors and bringing along pans of food, we like to prepare everything pre-portioned. We usually also opt for individual drinks (we put them in 16-ounce plastic containers so they’re completely spill-proof) or bring small water bottles. Individual portions can easily be packaged in containers or twopound pans with lids. Sometimes it’s an all-in-one salad meal with greens, pasta and fried chicken cutlets that the kids can toss with the little container of dressing included in their pre-packaged serving. Other times it’s just a side, main and veggie in a small pan or container. Even soup can be prepared in eight-ounce containers. We spread out a picnic blanket on the floor, and each kid gets their meal at their place. Once they’re done, each container gets closed, with napkins and used cutlery inside, and we collect the garbage to take back home.

Our park of choice Clark Recreation Center

This park always feels like a breezy oasis and a break from the busy place Monsey has become. We keep this very simple and easy. We pack the kids into the car with a ball. We make a stop in a local supermarket or convenience store to pick up sandwiches and drinks for the kids, and each one gets a shopping bag with the items they chose. Finally, we head to Suffern. Clarks’ picnic tables are in an area separate from the rest of the park, and there is a lot of place for ball playing. The shade that envelops the whole area makes it such a great spot for sticky summer afternoons.

Our Duties and Dues As American Jews

It’s the time of year when red, white and blue are everywhere. Wherever we go, we see flags, hear fireworks and are very much aware that the country we live in is celebrating its independence. As Yidden, how do we relate to the idea of patriotism? Following is a sampling of the discussions of halachic authorities on this topic.

BAILA BERGER

The Jewish settlers were soon known for their support of the governing authority, whatever it may be. As revolutionary winds began to blow, they looked toward independence as a boon that would empower the Jewish community.

They were not wrong. While Yidden around the globe continued to suffer from persecution and discrimination, those living in the newly democratized country across the ocean were being accepted into the melting pot. Still in its infancy, the United States of America began to grant Yidden the privilege of citizenship, the ability to engage in business, and the right to serve Hakadosh Baruch Hu as they wished. They were treated with equality, like any other American.

In kind, the frum community, by and large, showed tremendous support for the new government. Leaders of several kehillos joined to make contact with the president, writing warm letters to confirm their solidarity and commitment to the new country.

Our Arrival in America

In the early days of the colonial era, more than a century before the Declaration of Independence was signed, the first known Yidden arrived in America. This first boatload of 23 Yidden settled in New Amsterdam, later to become New York. Of Spanish and Portuguese origin, they were fleeing religious persecution and sought a haven where they could openly serve Hashem.

The first kehillah, She’aris Yisrael, was established as early as 1654 in New Amsterdam. Other congregations followed, including one in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1658.

Life was not easy for the Jewish settlers. They were often treated with distrust and had to fight for their rights. Still, the community

grew and flourished. Wherever they went, they contributed to society and the economy. You could tell a Yid by his sincere moral and ethical behavior. As a whole, the early settlers left an indelible mark on American culture.

In August 1790, George Washington paid a visit to the famous Touro Synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island. He was visibly impressed, and one day later, he penned a letter to the congregation in which he reinforced the ideals of religious liberty:

The Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to perse-

Historic Touro Synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island

cution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens in giving it on all occasions their effectual support.

Washington’s pledge of protection and petition for patriotism inspired the community.

Pledge of Allegiance

In his sefer Nineteen Letters, written in the form of an exchange between a rav and a person questioning the changes instituted by the Reform movement, Rav Samson Raphael Hirsch, zt”l, writes, “It is our duty to join ourselves as closely as possible to the state which receives us into its midst, to promote its welfare and not to consider our well-being as in any way separate from that of the state to which we belong.”

Over the centuries, the American Jewish community has recognized that duty.

Former President Trump eloquently stated in his proclamation in honor of Jewish American History Month, which is celebrated every May, “American Jews, over centuries,

have held firm in the belief that the United States was ‘di goldene medinah,’ the golden country. Those who moved here built houses and gardens, raised families, and launched businesses. They have pursued education to advance their mission to make the world a better place… The achievements of American Jews are felt throughout American society and culture, in every field and in every profession.”

In advance of May 2021, President Biden announced, “During Jewish

American Heritage Month, we honor Jewish Americans, who, inspired by Jewish values and American ideals, have engaged in the ongoing work of forming a more perfect union.”

Our Debt of Gratitude

“We have to appreciate America,” said Rav Avigdor Miller, zt”l. “America is a very big bracha. What we have here is a luxury. There is so much freedom and so much opportunity to make a living.”

As Rav Moshe Feinstein, zt”l, was known to say, America is a medinah shel chesed, a benevolent country. It impels us to be thankful for all that we gain from living here, in this welcoming haven, where equality and opportunity are among the founding principles.

On another occasion, Rav Miller said, “America is a good country. We came from countries where we were persecuted, and this country gave us all the rights. I say we should kiss the ground of America.”

As such, Rav Miller explained to people who asked for his hashkafah toward patriotism and displaying

the flag: “The flag is a symbol of all the privileges that Hakadosh Baruch Hu is giving us in this country. And therefore it’s not a bad idea — even if you never did it before — to hang out a flag on the Fourth of July… to show them that, yes, we do appreciate what Hashem gave us.”

Dina D’Malchusa

Dina

The Mishnah in Avos (3:2) states, “Daven for the integrity of the government, for if not for fear of its authority, a man would swallow his neighbor alive.”

A lawless society is the antithesis of what the Torah wants.

Gittin (10b) states in the name of Shmuel that “Dina d’malchusa dina — the law of the land is the law.” This obliges us to be scrupulous in following the laws set forth by the governing authorities in the place where we live.

There are certain legalities, though, that cannot take the place of halacha. For example, an American legal divorce does not render a Jewish woman eligible to remarry; she needs a proper halachic get arranged in beis din. State law does not over-

ride Jewish law. According to the Sdei Chemed, “dina d’malchusa dina” only applies to dinei mamonos

When it comes to monetary matters, Rav Yosef Eliyahu Henkin, z”l, wrote that while it may be true that when two Yidden have a financial dispute they must arbitrate in beis din and it is halachically forbidden for them to take the case to court, when it comes to regulations established “l’tikkun hamedinah,” to set order in society, we must follow the law.

Some examples of regulations included in this are minimum wage, rent control, and price control of basic

necessities such as eggs, milk, and bread. Another one is bankruptcy; the government established bankruptcy law to protect individuals who’ve made business mistakes that are impossible to fix. If someone owes millions of dollars, he can declare bankruptcy and start again. According to law, even if this man becomes wealthy again, he is not obligated to repay his previous loans. A Yid may rely on dina d’malchusa dina in such a case, and does not have to repay his debts.

Our Vote

This leads us to another topic — the right to vote.

The Gemara (Brachos 55a) quotes Rav Yitzchak: “One may only appoint a leader over a community if he consults with the community.” This is supported by the story of how Betzalel was appointed to build the Mishkan and keilim. Hashem told Moshe Rabbeinu that He believes Betzalel would be a good candidate and then asked, “What do you think? Is Betzalel a good choice?”

Moshe replied, “Ribbono Shel Olam! If he is suitable in Your eyes, then surely I agree.”

Still, Hashem commanded Moshe to ask the Yidden their opinion of Betzalel. Only once the Yidden replied in the affirmative did Hashem appoint Betzalel for the job.

This demonstrates that it is appropriate for the community to participate in the process of choosing a leader.

Outdoor Quarters OQ

Back in the 1500s, when Yidden selected tax collectors to collect Jewish taxes for the Christian government, the Rema held that all taxpayers were to vote “l’shem Shamayim” (Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat 163:1).

On the other hand, the Chasam Sofer held that taxpayers are not required to vote, but if they decline to participate, they forfeit their right to shape the outcome of the elections.

More recently, Rav Moshe Feinstein strongly advocated taking part in elections, as you can tell from the following letter, written on October 3, 1984:

On reaching the shores of the United States, Jews found a safe haven. The rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights have allowed us the freedom to practice our religion without interference and to live in this republic in safety.

A fundamental principle of Judaism is hakaras hatov — recognizing benefits afforded us and giving expression to our appreciation.

Therefore, it is incumbent upon each Jewish citizen to participate in the democratic system which guards the freedoms we enjoy. The most fundamental responsibility of each individual is to register and to vote.

Therefore, I urge all members of the Jewish community to fulfill their obligations by registering as soon as possible, and by voting. By this, we can express our appreciation and contribute to the continued security of our community.

It is interesting to note that this letter was written before an election that seemed to have an inevitable outcome. If so, why indeed should Yidden bother to go out to vote? Yet Rav Moshe still saw fit to encourage voting, since the voting habits of different communities are publicly analyzed. He called it an exercise in “nosei b’ol hatzibbur.” We are commanded not to shirk communal responsibilities, but rather to always look to see how we can help ease the community’s burdens. Since the elections hold consequences for the entire community, all Yidden should vote.

At the end of the day, however, we must remember that once our ballots have been cast, we have simply done our hishtadlus. After the elections, the proper hashkafah toward the leaders we may have helped elect is that “Lev melachim v’sarim b’yad Hashem.”

There is a Divine Grandmaster placing each pawn and knight, each king and queen, on the chess board of this world. And only He determines their every move.

The area of Ashel Lane was home to the Ashley Country Club until sometime in the 1960s, which led to its current name once the area was purchased for the Viznitz yeshivah.
