WHAT OUR FAMILY FOUND (Re: Treasures on the Chometz Trail, Issue 291) I’d like to share a really nice family story on the topic of finding treasures while cleaning for Pesach. In 1948, at the age of 18, my father and his four younger siblings were orphaned and living in Boro Park all alone. My father had assumed the responsibility of cleaning their apartment for Pesach, and while he and his siblings were doing the bathroom, they noticed a loose tile. Someone stuck a hand in to see if there was chometz behind it, and instead, they found a sack of $15,000 pushed behind the bathroom tile! The bills were so old and falling apart that my father and his siblings traveled to the Mint in Washington, D.C., to exchange them for new bills. The five children divided the money evenly, and each one received $5,000. Devorah Munitz
THE STORIES WE DON’T TELL (Re: After the Search, Issue 291) Thank you so much for your halachic review on what to do with chometz found on yom tov. While we all spend weeks making sure our homes are clean and free of chometz, we are human, after all, and

things do happen. Many of us, I’m sure, have stories we don’t like to tell… Seeing these halachos clearly outlined was a relief, because as hard as we try, the worst can happen, and when it does, the Torah is here to tell us exactly what to do. Still on the Hunt
SAVORY SUBSTITUTIONS (Re: Simply Savory, Issue 291) Thanks once again for your great recipes. I saw the chunky tomato sauce you featured, and while I don’t use oil or honey on Pesach, I plan to substitute them for shmaltz and sugar. And following your clear directions, I’m confident that I’ll end up with quite a tasty tomato sauce. A Grateful Reader
PERFECT IN PORTIONS (Re: A Delectable Ending, Issue 290) Thanks for the excellent sorbet recipes. As someone who does not give her grandchildren any store-bought nosh on Pesach (not even potato chips or cookies), I’ve been dubbed the “best Babby” after I started making ices and pouring them into individual 4-ounce covered containers. I’m excited to try these new versions. Shira Weiss
BEIN HAZMANIM FUN (Re: Chair Up!, Issue 289) Thank you for the great article on reupholstering chairs. It made for a great bein hazmanim project. M.M.
GIVING ALL THE WAY Last year you printed my letter about the Gluten-Free Gemach.
The response was enormous, baruch Hashem! Even before yom tov ended, I got hundreds of emails from people inquiring both how they can benefit from our gemach and how to donate. Insead of purchasing glutenfree food items at full price, hundreds of families got hundreds of dollars’ worth of food that would have probably been thrown out otherwise. I would like to point out some things for those kind donors so their mitzvah can be b’shleimus: 1. We accept all types of Pesach items, such as baked goods (not homemade!), condiments, flours, pasta, pizza, nosh, etc. 2. Please drop off only closed packages — nothing homemade or not sealed. 3. Matzah meal consists of gluten, even though it’s kosher l’Pesach! Many volunteers reported getting various food items like matzah, matzah farfel, or even snacks made from matzah cake meal. 4. If you drop off any frozen or refrigerated foods, please make sure the volunteer is aware of this, as we had some unfortunate stories where a volunteer didn’t have a chance to look through a box right away and found defrosted gefilte fish or other expensive items ruined along with all the other contents of the bag. To find out where the dropoff point is in your area, or if you want to join our growing list, email gemachglutenfree@ gmail.com. Tizku l’mitzvos, The GlutenFree Gemach

“Sand tray therapy can facilitate healing among children as well as adolescents and adults by allowing the expression of inner thoughts and feelings when words are not enough. The scenes created in the sand tray can reflect a person’s actual life and provide the opportunity to resolve conflicts, remove obstacles and gain acceptance of self in a safe space.”
Sand tray therapy is recognized as an effective therapeutic tool in treating trauma.

A The family members were waiting in the dining room, chometz-free home! The matzah and wine were ready on the but the Rav remained engrossed in the hallowed pages of table.

Better said, it was a shai- self-pity, unable to taste the joy of Pesach?!”
Quipped Reb Moshe Gershon wrote the following anecdote in his sefer Shailos v’Teshuvos. Once, on the Shabbos after Pesach, the gabbai banged on the bimah, announcing in a loud voice: “This week, we don’t lein Maftir. We clearly read in the Haggadah, “Ein maftirin achar haPesach Afikomen…” Such were the am ha’aratzim of old…

The Rav did not give up, but continued to delve in his seforim. Finally, after a long time, he stood up and came out of his room, his face glowing. “Muttar,” he told the despondent woman who had nearly given up. She bounded out of the Rav’s home with renewed vigor, a smile lighting up her triumphant face, and the Aruch Hashulchan joined his family to begin the Seder at last. * * * * * Pesach is Zman Cheiruseinu. Everything we do on this auspicious night mirrors the grand, climactic event in our history: Yetzias Mitzrayim. Freedom. Majesty. We celebrate as bnei melachim, in splendor
and grandeur. To the backdrop of a silveradorned table, we recline, much like true royalty, and express our appreciation to Hakadosh Baruch Hu. But as we settle down in our plush, pillowed seats, we are reminded to invite anyone in need of a Seder to our table. This is an expression of the true epitome of freedom and majesty. For in order for a Yid to be truly joyous, he must ensure that those around him are joyous, too. When everyone else is happy, when everyone else can take part in the regal celebrations — only then can a person be truly free. What could be more fitting of an introduction to our Seder than making certain that everyone has a place to eat?
Did You Know? Kadeish, Urchatz, Karpas… From early childhood, we know the order of the simanim. Did you ever wonder who set up the simanim of the Seder? Some say it was Rashi Hakadosh, others credit Rabbi Shmuel M’Pleiza.

from Yechiel’s mouth and sat on the edge of the bed. “Gamliel, you frightened me!” whispered Yechiel. “What’s going on? What are you doing here in my room in the middle of the night?” “I didn’t mean to frighten you, Yechiel. You asked me to call you the next time we meet with the master. Well, I’ve come to call you. It is tonight. Get dressed quickly if you wish to come. Would you rather I had let you sleep?” Yechiel tumbled out of bed and washed his hands. “No, I’m glad you came to get me,” he said. “I’m very eager to meet Shabbesai Tzvi. But why couldn’t you tell me earlier? Why was it necessary to climb through my window and scare me half to death?” “I didn’t know myself until just two hours ago. I’m sure you know that the master has been in seclusion for weeks. I myself spoke with him only once or twice during all this time, and I could see he was exhausted by his struggles with the demonic forces of darkness. But tonight, thank Heaven, the master broke through, and a new period of illumination has begun.” “Thank Heaven.” “When I received the message to come to his house, I ran. The master was radiant. He told me to call the others immediately and tell them to wear the blue canvas caftans. Just as I was returning, I remembered you had asked me to call you the next time, and I came to get you. The door was locked, so I came in through the window. You’re still interested, aren’t you?” “Yes, of course I am.” “All right, let’s go. Consider yourself fortunate. One never knows when the next opportunity will present itself. Sometimes these periods of illumination last for only a day.” “I understand, Gamliel. Do you have a caftan for me?” “Yes, I do. We’ll get it on the way. Come quickly. We must hurry.” “Would you mind if we leave through the door?” asked Yechiel with a wry smile. “I assure you the landlord will not try to stop us. My rent is fully paid.” “If you insist, I will not object.” Walking briskly, the two men left the Jewish quarter, stopping only to retrieve the caftans from Gamliel’s room. They crossed the broad Golden Street, the main thoroughfare of the city, and turned west, passing the ancient Greek ruins atop Deirmen Hill as they headed for the sea. Soon they were alongside the wharves of the natural harbor. The pale winter moon sprinkled silver lights on the British merchant vessels, Venetian brigantines and Dutch schooners riding at anchor among swarms of coastal fishing craft. Mountainous headlands jutted out on both sides of the harbor, like burly arms against the angry roar of the sea, but they could not prevent the blasts of cold air from the distant Russian steppes from howling through the open channel. Gamliel and Yechiel pulled their caftans more tightly about them and turned south along the coast-
As they left the city behind, other men wearing blue canvas caftans began to materialize out of the darkness. The growing group walked together in silence.

line. As they left the city behind, other men wearing blue canvas caftans began to materialize out of the darkness. The growing group walked together in silence. By the time they stopped on a low hilltop within view of the gulf, there were twenty men in the group. The hilltop was completely bare except for the stump of a large oak tree. It was cold, and the men pulled the hoods of their caftans far over their heads. They clustered together in small groups, indistinguishable from one another, and spoke in low tones as they awaited the arrival of the master. Gamliel and Yechiel stood off to one side, mesmerized by the sea. “Where is Shabbesai?” asked Yechiel. “Why isn’t he here yet?” “Keep your voice down,” growled Gamliel. “When you’re among us, you’re to refer to him as the master. You must never address him or speak of him by name. Do you understand?” “Yes, I do,” said Yechiel, shaken. “I meant no disrespect. I will be more careful in the future.” “I know you meant no disrespect, my young friend. Believe me, although the master is but three years older than you, once you meet him you will find it most natural to address him that way. I’m older than he is, and I accept him as my master. You will, too.” He paused. “That is, of course, if you’re fortunate enough to be found worthy. Listen carefully to the master’s words, Yechiel. Be prepared to be tested when I introduce you to him afterward.” “Are you sure he will not mind my coming?” “Why should he mind? You come as a friend interested in learning. Not as an enemy or a spy. Is that not so?” “Certainly, certainly. You know I can be trusted, Gamliel.” Yechiel looked anxiously back toward Smyrna. “I wish he would arrive already.” “But he has already arrived, my dear Yechiel. He was here before all of us.” “What are you talking about? Where is he?” “There!” said Gamliel, pointing toward the sea. In the distance, beyond a huge boulder that jutted into the gulf, Yechiel could just barely make out the head of a man bobbing in and out of the swirling waters. He watched in amazement as the man immersed himself repeatedly in the frigid waters. After immersing more than a dozen times, the man turned and headed back to shore behind the rocky curtain of the boulder at the water’s edge. Several minutes later, the man emerged fully clothed from behind the boulder and walked toward the hilltop. Even from afar, Yechiel could recognize the familiar regal
Now, at last, it was here, right on this windswept hilltop in the middle of the night. Yechiel was consumed with excitement.

bearing from the times he had watched Shabbesai Tzvi walk the streets of Smyrna. From the first moment he had seen Shabbesai Tzvi, Yechiel had known there was something extraordinary about the man. He seemed completely oblivious to the world about him, his soul aflame with a holy fire that smoldered from his eyes. But then, from time to time, the fire would subside and become extinguished, and Shabbesai Tzvi would remain cloistered in his father’s house. Not long before, Shabbesai Tzvi had submitted to his father’s will and married Rachel, the daughter of Aharon, a prominent Smyrna merchant, but the marriage had ended in immediate divorce. Shabbesai Tzvi was simply too holy to live an ordinary life together with an ordinary wife, people said. Someday, Heaven would send him a wife of equal holiness. Only then would he marry again. Yechiel listened to all the stories of Shabbesai Tzvi’s extraordinary powers and the purity of his ways, of the days spent in fervent prayer and fasting. It was whispered in the streets of the Jewish quarter of Smyrna that Shabbesai Tzvi was destined to be Moshiach, that he would one day bring an end to the long and bitter exile of the Jewish people. Unfortunately, however, Rav Yosef Escapa, the aged rabbi of Smyrna, had frowned on this kind of talk about his young student, and out of respect for the elderly sage, Shabbesai Tzvi had refused to acknowledge it in public. But he had not denied it either. Yechiel had often wanted to approach this holy man, but he had not dared. Then one day, he met Gamliel Basnoun, an emissary from the holy city of Yerushalayim who frequently spent long periods of time in Turkey soliciting funds for the poor people in the Holy Land. Gamliel befriended Yechiel and inadvertently revealed to him during one of their conversations that he belonged to a group of young men to whom Shabbesai Tzvi taught Kabbalah in secret. Yechiel pleaded to join this group, and Gamliel kept putting him off with various excuses. Yechiel suspected his sincerity was being tested, and he persisted in his pleas. Finally, Gamliel consented to allow Yechiel to accompany him the next time, but the next time was long in coming. And now, at last, it was here, right on this windswept hilltop in the middle of the night. Yechiel was consumed with excitement. The men formed a semicircle around the crown of the hill. Their faces, concealed in the dark folds of their hoods, faced the sea, the direction from which their master was approaching. Not a sound was uttered as the tall, lean figure of Shabbesai Tzvi appeared on the moonlit hilltop and stopped beside the stump of the oak tree. He wore a long robe of shimmering white satin, with broad purple sleeves, a purple collar and hem, and a headdress of gold-braided white silk. Glistening beads of seawater clung to his auburn beard. He shone with such spectral joy and exhilaration that the young men dared not look him directly in the face. Eyes downcast, they stood in respectful silence awaiting his command. To be continued…

Rockland’s Lack of Mass Vaccine Site No Accident, Say County Politicos Despite having been one of the hardest-hit counties in New York, Rockland County still has not been given a state-run vaccination site, a reality that some insiders believe is no accident. According to HuffPost, Albany has yet to create even a temporary vaccination site in Rockland because of a long-standing rivalry between County Executive Ed Day and Governor Andrew Cuomo. New York recently announced plans to set up sites in neighboring Orange County, the less densely populated Ulster County and even in Albany County, which has a far smaller population. As of last week, Rockland had the highestper-capita rate of positive COVID-19 cases statewide. Reports surfaced recently alleging that state vaccine czar Larry Schwartz has been prioritizing vaccines for counties whose leaders pledged their loyalty to Cuomo, who has been dogged by allegations of multiple scandals that have had even Democratic elected officials calling for his resignation. Day, who has hinted at the possibility of running for governor in 2022, said that his conversations with Schwartz did not include any discussions of Cuomo, but those involved in county politics seemed to have no doubt that the governor’s dislike of Day is at the root of the problem. “We’re an incredibly diverse county that deserves a mass vaccination site, and it appears as if the only reason Andrew Cuomo is withholding one is over political differences,” Assemblyman Mike Lawler said in a statement. “He needs to stop playing politics with people’s lives and work with County Executive Ed Day and other local elected officials to get shots in arms.” Calling for Cuomo’s resignation on March 12, Congressman Mondaire Jones said that the governor was unfit to lead the state for a variety of reasons, which included his failure to provide vaccinations to Rockland despite its high COVID-19 rates. “We have a Republican county executive who’s been railing against the governor for years,” said Jones. Cuomo spokesperson Jack Sterne dismissed the allegations, saying that the state had limited resources and that Rocklanders could easily get vaccinated in nearby Westchester. According to Day, his efforts to authorize a mass vaccination site were inexplicably derailed, and while Rockland has the ability to administer 1,000 vaccines daily, a mass vaccination site would provide the capacity for fifteen times that number. Currently, Rockland is the only county with a population larger than 300,000 that does not have its own state-run vaccination site, according to The Journal News. A single pop-up vaccination site authorized by the state was held last Shabbos in Haverstraw, one of sixteen created by Albany, reported Ramapo Daily Voice. Over 4,500 people were expected to be vaccinated in that effort, part of an ongoing program of one-day vaccina-

tion clinics taking place in public housing complexes and other community and religious centers to provide greater equality in vaccine distributions. Rockland County Health Commissioner Dr. Patricia Schnabel Ruppert sent a letter last week to both Cuomo and his health commissioner, Dr. Howard Zucker, requesting a mass vaccination site at Rockland Community College, noting that current allocations aren’t giving the county the ability to keep up with the vaccine timeline established by President Joe Biden. While 22.7% of Rocklanders had received at least one dose by March 16, only 6.05% of Monsey residents and 7.4% of those living in Spring Valley have been vaccinated, despite both being classified as red zones by Cuomo. OJPAC director Yossi Gestetner found Cuomo’s refusal to greenlight mass vaccination in Rockland troubling in light of the many restrictions he imposed on the area. “This county and other counties that were held up as examples of problem areas — why don’t they get comparable help from the government?” asked Gestetner.
Big Wins for Shuls in Village Elections Demonstrating the importance of going out to vote, Jewish residents of three local villages handed victories to candidates who have expressed support for allowing shuls in residential areas. The Journal News reported that Shimon Moses and Isaac Weiss of Airmont easily outdid their opponents Andrew Dispensa and Jennifer Groff, garnering nearly twice as many votes. Airmont has been engaged in legal battles ever since its creation in 1991 over its tough zoning laws, which make it nearly impossible to have legal shuls within the village. Airmont has already lost two federal lawsuits on the matter and another ongoing legal action is pending in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan. In Pomona, village trustee Mendy Lasker and newcomer Mark Greenberg beat out former Mayor Brett Yagel and former trustee Nicholas Wilson by a significant margin. Lasker has been at odds with Mayor Ian Banks, who attempted to replace him as a trustee several months ago, and he called on Banks to work hand in hand with him and the village board on behalf of Pomona residents. An uncontested election in Chestnut Ridge had trustees Chaim Rose, Richard Miller and Mayor Sam Rosario all winning unopposed, with each collecting upward of 700 votes. Rose said that the large number of votes cast showed that Chestnut Ridge “residents appreciate and value elected officials who represent all constituencies and aim to move forward with common-sense solutions that unite our wonderful village.”

“W
elcome, come on in. So are you Ella Rothman?” Sarah Reiness smiled at the young woman who walked into her office. Ariella coughed. “Y...yes,” she said.

She was also certain that Sarah maintained professional confidentiality and did not share the names of her patients with her husband or his students. “Nice to meet you. Are you from around here?” “For now,” the younger woman whispered. “I’m from Bnei Brak, but… I’ve taken some time off for myself and came here for a little while.” She coughed on the last few words. It wasn’t a show. Her throat had decided to sync itself beautifully with her emotions right now. “And you came to me because of the reason that I see and hear?” Ariella smiled. “What you hear, I understand. But what do you mean by a reason that you see?” Sarah smiled back and opened a drawer. “Here you go,” she said, placing a small mirror in front of Ariella. It had a green-striped frame. “Is there something you want to say?” Ariella gazed at her reflection. What did she want to say? Nothing. She hadn’t come to speak. She’d come to find out more about this woman in order to figure out what kind of place Osher
THE MONSEY VIEW / 187
had found for himself. But if she was already sitting in front of a reputable speech pathologist, why shouldn’t she try to get help, too? “I want to treat my voice,” she said in a low tone, “so that, once and for all, I can get rid of this hoarseness that keeps returning.” “Do you know why it keeps returning?” Ariella looked at the mirror and realized that the efforts of her facial muscles were visible, not only audible. “No,” she replied, not entirely candidly. “You don’t know why?” “Well, I can probably guess why,” she said with a sigh. “It’s probably because I’m tense; that’s my usual state.” “Tension,” Sarah echoed. “One of
“It doesn’t bother anyone; the mess is my own,” she said. “You see, I’m a widow.” the things that hoarseness likes very much. What about physical factors? Do you have any polyps on your vocal cords?” “I did, and they disappeared; then they came back, and went away again… I’m not sure exactly what the situation is right now.” “I see,” Sarah said as she studied the younger woman. “So first of all, you say you’re taking some time off for yourself. That’s certainly a good start for some calm and release of tension. How much time are you talking about?” How much time, indeed? The original plan was for a five-day trip to check out Osher’s new home, but perhaps she should extend it. The idea of this change of plans had come to her when she’d been thinking about her little apartment in Bnei Brak and realized that she did not miss it one bit. Not the house, not the street, nor the people hurrying around the neighborhood… “About two weeks, I think,” she said hesitantly.

“Okay, so we’ll see how often we can meet in that time. I’m only here twice a week, and my schedule is rather full, but let’s try to do as much as we can with what we have.” Sarah moved aside her open appointment book. She had a rather soft tone, and Ariella found herself liking the American accent. “I assume that your hoarseness has a history, so you know a lot about breathing exercises and the rules for proper speaking, right?” “Yes.” “Do you remember how to do all the exercises?” “I try…” Sarah smiled. “Let’s take five minutes to converse casually, and I’ll assess what you know.” “Like a test of sorts.” Ariella was not smiling. “What, you don’t like tests?” “Not particularly.” “Since when?” “Since my first test, probably.” She paused to breathe. “You look very intelligent to me,” Sarah remarked. Ariella looked at her seriously. “There are more important things in life than brains.” “Sure,” the therapist agreed. “Attention and concentration abilities, for example.” “You see that in me, too?” Ariella toyed with the strap of her pocketbook. “Not necessarily; it was just an educated guess. The ability of a student to succeed depends on a few factors — foremost is siyata d’Shmaya, of course, and then abilities, emotional state, and attention and concentration skills. There are usually other aspects, as well, but these three compete for first place for the factor that will breed success or rob a person of it.” “I see.” Ariella looked down. “So I do have severe ADHD. Baruch Hashem, I’ve coped successfully with it over the years, though, ever since I was diagnosed.” “With Ritalin, Concerta, or something else?” Ariella raised her eyes. “Today I sometimes take something natural — no real medication.

school, all those natural things could not even take the slightest edge off my concentration issues.” “What do you do today?” “I’m a private teacher, a tutor.” “Which subjects?” “Music and math.” “How do you manage work and running your house?” “Who says I manage?” “So do you have help?” “No. I do what I can, and that’s it. In general, my house is usually quite the mess.” Sarah nodded quietly. And if until now Ariella had wanted to conceal the elephant in the room as best she could, suddenly she felt an urge to just be out with it. Maybe so that Sarah shouldn’t think that she was ignoring her surroundings with cold apathy. “It doesn’t bother anyone; the mess is my own,” she said. “You see, I’m a widow. No children. So whatever I don’t manage to organize or clean up is my own mess, and it’s fine.” “Oy, I’m so sorry to hear that,” Sarah said sincerely. “When did your husband pass away?” “More than four years ago. Two months after my wedding.” “Oy vey, Hashem yishmor. That is so sad to hear.” Something about this openness, including the exclamation at the beginning, was the type of stuff Ariella could not stand. But for some reason, coming from Sarah, it didn’t sound so bad. Perhaps it was because she had maintained such a professional demeanor up until then, and for just a moment, her real personality was peeking through the veneer. The question was what would happen afterward… “Yes,” Ariella agreed dryly. “Life isn’t simple at all.” “That’s true,” Sarah said. “And just before we get back to our topic, because the five minutes is up, I want to note that I salute you.” Ariella didn’t ask what the salute was for. She nodded almost imperceptibly, and said, “Fine, I hear.”
192 / THE MONSEY VIEW / March 24, 2021 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
“Let’s summarize what I’ve seen and learned about you in these five minutes,” Sarah said. “You know some techniques very well, and I see that you’ve been to at least two speech therapists in recent years, because I discerned two types of breathing and speaking exercises. It’s possible I’ll have some new techniques to suggest to you, too. We’d need to see if they would work for you.”
Osher I looked at the picture that had fallen onto the floor and saw that it was of two bachurim standing near a tall wall or building that I could not identify. One of the bachurim had a familiar-looking grin on his face, almost like he was laughing. The other one looked much more serious. The smiling boy interested me more,
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. I tensed and stuffed the picture into my pants pocket before hurrying to open it. because I recognized him. Even though he did not yet have a beard, and the photo was black and white, yellowing with age, I could see that it was Reb Elazar. I looked at the picture. It was interesting to see the Rav as a bachur. I wondered if, back then, he liked to learn, and whether or not he struggled to fit in. Did he have a tough time understanding what people said to him, like I did? On second thought, I was sure he did understand people, even back then. If he was so good today at understanding how people think and feel and what makes them tick, he couldn’t have been that different when he was young. Or maybe it wasn’t like that? Perhaps his ability to understand others and
what they wanted from him was something he had worked hard to attain? I wondered if such a thing were possible. Without thinking, I picked up the picture. I didn’t look at the second boy at all, because he didn’t really interest me. But I wanted to see Reb Elazar’s eyes. They were deep and happy, and it looked to me from the way he was standing and laughing that he was very comfortable around this friend. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. I tensed and stuffed the picture into my pants pocket before hurrying to open it. It was Aharon, a boy who was usually very quiet. “The Rav asked how you are doing,” he said. “Baruch Hashem,” I replied, glancing down to make sure that the edges of the picture were not peeking out from my pocket. “Although my leg hurts.” “Shlomo is downstairs, you know.” “Let him be downstairs. When your cheek hurts, you can go down the stairs easily, but when your foot hurts, you can’t.” He blinked rapidly. “Do you want something to eat?” he asked after a moment, as though he had been trying to recall what he had been told to ask me, and now he suddenly remembered. “No, thanks,” I said. Reb Elazar had brought lots of nosh to the hospital for us, and I had almost all of it still in my bag in case I’d get hungry. “Okay,” Aharon said, and turned to go. I wanted to lock the door behind him, but I thought it would look suspicious if I did. Slowly, I went back to my room and sat down on the bed. Now I could look at the picture in peace, and examine all kinds of important details in it. Maybe the wall Reb Elazar was standing in front of was the wall of this house? Could this photo hold the key to discovering Reb Elazar’s secret? To be continued…

Biden Sets Foreign Policy Tone THE PULSE: Over the past week, the Biden administration engaged in some high-level foreign policy activity. The administration staked out positions in line with its stated policy of making the defense of democracy and human rights a U.S. priority worldwide. RUSSIA: In an interview with ABC News, George Stepha-
nopoulos asked Biden, “So you know Vladimir Putin. You think he’s a killer?” Biden responded, “I do.” Biden also said that Putin “will pay a price” for his efforts to undermine the 2020 elections. Biden’s calling out of Putin for his egregious conduct precipitated a diplomatic crisis. In 2006, Alexander Litvinenko, a critic of the Kremlin, was poisoned by two Russians in a suspected assassination. In early 2015, Boris Nemtsov, an influential Russian democratic leader, was shot dead on a Moscow bridge. In 2018, Sergei and Yulia Skripal were poisoned by suspected Russian agents in Salisbury, England. The Skirpals survived, but the British government accused the Russian government of attempted murder. This year, Russian opposition movement leader Alexi Navalny was poisoned with novichok, a Russian nerve gas agent. Navalny was treated in a German hospital and survived, but is currently jailed in a Russian prison. Putin responded to Biden’s comments by recalling the Russian ambassador to Washington. The Russian government also warned of a possible “irreversible deterioration of relations.” Biden’s confrontational approach to Putin is a significant shift from the previous administration’s more
200 / THE MONSEY VIEW / March 24, 2021 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
conciliatory strategy. In a 2017 interview with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, Trump expressed respect for Putin and declared his commitment to improving U.S.-Russian relations. When O’Reilly countered that “he’s a killer,” Trump sought to put it in context by saying, “There are a lot of killers. You think our country’s so innocent?” CHINA: On the eve of Chinese-American talks in Anchorage, Alaska, the Biden administration sanctioned 24 Chinese officials accused of undermining democracy in Hong Kong. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that “China is using coercion and aggression to systematically erode autonomy in Hong Kong, undercut democracy in Taiwan, abuse human rights in Xinjiang and Tibet, and assert maritime claims in the South China Sea that violate international law.” Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi responded by saying that this was “no way to treat the guests” and that the United States needs to stop its “Cold War mentality.” He blasted the United States’ treatment of African Americans and said that “The United States does not represent international public opinion and neither does the Western world.” The Biden administration has made it clear to the Chinese that they will not agree to trade at all costs. The administration has not rolled back the hardline trade policies enacted by the Trump administration. The Biden team has also made clear that they will not agree to ignore Chinese human rights abuses to secure better trade agreements. MYANMAR: In February, the Biden administration placed sanctions on Myanmar’s generals over their coup and overthrow of their nation’s civilian government. Last week, the

Biden administration announced that Myanmar nationals living in the United States with a clean criminal record could apply for temporary protected status (TPS), which would permit them to live and work in the United States for the next eighteen months. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said that the administration offered relief because of violent clashes taking place in that country. THE IMPACT: Biden’s approach is a
break from the America First foreign policy of the Trump administration. The previous administration focused primarily on America’s economic and military needs. It took a tough approach on trade in an effort to improve America’s financial position but regulated most global issues to secondary status. Emphasis on human rights and democracy has varied from administration to administration, but historically, the United States has adopted a role as a defender of the oppressed and beacon of democracy even when the abuses did not directly affect its own citizens. President Ulysses S. Grant publicly opposed the Russian government’s treatment of Jews, and in an act of protest against the anti-Semitism of the Romanian government, appointed a Jewish ambassador to Bucharest. President Bill Clinton attacked Serbia over its treatment of ethnic Croats and Kosovo Albanians. A few years back, in a meeting with Libertarian Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) in the Breakers in Palm Beach, Florida, I asked him if he believed America should speak up on human rights issues that do not directly affect American citizens. He responded that American leadership is necessary, but that America must also be humble and recognize that it does not always have an answer for the world’s problems and that well-intentioned interventions can often make matters worse.
Biden Slammed for Media Blackout THE PULSE: The Biden administra-
tion received withering criticism from friend and foe alike for its decision to deny media access to Customs and Border Patrol facilities housing migrant
202 / THE MONSEY VIEW / March 24, 2021 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
children. Democratic Senator Chris Murphy and Republican Senator Rob Portman called on the Biden administration to be transparent and allow reporters to visit the facilities. Homeland Security Director Alejandro Mayorkas said that access has not yet been granted due to the pandemic and COVID-19 concerns. He emphasized that “We are focused on executing our operations, in a crowded border patrol facility where hundreds of vulnerable migrant children are located.” THE IMPACT: The border crisis is developing into a significant problem for the Biden administration. The deluge of unaccompanied minors and families at the southern border has provided fodder for those critical of the administration’s immigration policies. The administration announced plans to open more detention centers for children. In a diplomatic achievement, Mexico recently announced that it would step up enforcement at its southern border to stem the flow of migrants from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador northward. In an interview with NBC’s Meet The Press, Secretary Mayorkas said that “the border is closed,” but defying the critics, he insisted that the United States would not turn back “young, vulnerable children” because “that’s not who we are.”
Julia Letlow Wins Louisiana’s 2nd Congressional District THE PULSE: Republican Julia Letlow
was victorious in a special election to fill the congressional seat formerly won by her husband. Luke Letlow was elected in November but succumbed to COVID-19 before being sworn into office. Former President Trump endorsed Julia Letlow. In a statement, Letlow said, “While losing Luke has been devastating, I know that two things can be true at the same time. A person can be full of grief while still having hope for the future.” In May, a special congressional election will be held in Texas to replace late Rep. Ron Wright (R), who also died of COVID-19. His wife is one of 20 candidates vying for his seat.

GRAND OPENING
OF THE
King David Center Opens Aquatherapy Pool
The Allure Group’s King David Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its newly installed aquatherapy pool. The addition of the pool, the first of its kind in a Brooklyn-based skilled nursing facility, marks the completion of the King David Center’s 16-month makeover. “The dream of Allure putting an aquatherapy pool in the sub-acute setting began as just that, a dream,” Allure COO Melissa Powell said. “To see our vision become a reality and to offer such a unique form of therapy to our patients in Brooklyn is truly special to us.” Dr. Miran Salgado, Chairman of Neurosciences at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital and head of Allure’s neurological rehab unit, echoed Melissa Powell’s thoughts. “The aquatherapy pool joining the already robust robotics suite of therapy equipment,” he said, “has created one of the most unique and cutting-edge therapy experiences in Brooklyn. I’m excited to get to work and monitor the progress of our patients.” The pool, installed by HydroWorx International of Middletown, Pa., includes an adjustable floor that affords patients easy access without the use of a ladder or steps. They can simply walk into the pool (or be wheeled into it), then lowered to the desired depth within 30 seconds. In addition, the entire floor doubles as an underwater treadmill, and the pool is equipped with resistance jets. That enables users to improve their mobility, balance and fitness during therapy sessions. The data has been truly impressive. At one current customer’s location, patients using the pool showed a 28 percent improvement in their center of gravity and a 37 percent improvement in lower-body strength. In addition, 19 percent of the patients moved out of the fall-risk category. King David Center anticipates equally impressive outcomes. Renovations of the King David Center began in October 2019. They include a lobby makeover and an expansion of the
first-floor café. The rehab center was also moved from the eighth floor to the first, where it sits alongside the robotics suite. Resident rooms, hallways and nurses’ stations were also upgraded. Because of the coronavirus pandemic there were alterations to the original plan to allow for social distancing. The cafe, for example, is larger than originally planned. The aquatherapy pool, however, represents the most noteworthy renovation, the feature that promises to set King David Center apart. It is just the latest evidence of The Allure Group’s longstanding commitment to providing its residents and staff with the very best treatment methods available. This cutting-edge addition is sure to make a splash!!

MYSTIQUEHOSIERY
There’s a chair prepared in his honor at every bris, and a cup at every Seder table. And he certainly holds a special place in the heart of every Yid. But who is this great tzaddik, and why does he, specifically, have a role in the everyday life of the common Jew?
WHO IS ELIYAHU?
THE MONSEY VIEW / 231
Eliyahu Hanavi is simultaneously one of the most beloved and one of the most mysterious people in Jewish history. Why precisely is it he who heralds good tidings, arrives to help Yidden in times of danger, and joins our simchos and yom tov tables? Let’s take a look at his life before we delve into these riddles.
THE LIFE OF ELIYAHU HANAVI HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE TIMES
Eliyahu Hanavi reached prominence during the reign of Achav — a time when the Yidden were at a spiritual low. Eretz Yisroel was divided in those days, with the Davidic line controlling the southern kingdom of Yehudah, and a plain-blood kingship ruling over the north. King of the north, Achav ben Omri, followed in the sinful path of the northern leaders who ruled before him, and in fact, was even more wicked than they had been. As the pasuk says, “And Achav did that which was bad in the eyes of Hashem, more than all before him” (Melachim I 16:30).
current times, the desire then for avodah zarah was extremely powerful, and people flocked to worship idols. This is well illustrated in Sanhedrin 102b, in which the evil king Menashe appeared to Rav Ashi in a dream and said, “Had you been there, you would have lifted the hem of your cloak and run after me [to engage in avodah zarah]!” Achav was married to a sinful woman who encouraged his heart to stray from Hashem’s mitzvos. Her name was Izevel, fanatical worshipper of Baal and daughter of a nonJewish king. Under their reign, temples to Baal sprouted up, and at least one Asherah tree was mounted for worship.
A DOWNWARD SPIRAL
Achav was a confused man, for while he knew much Torah and supported talmidei chachamim with his riches, he engaged in and heavily promoted idolatry — so much so that Rabbi Yochanan said, “There was not even one furrow in Eretz Yisroel upon which Achav did not place an idol and bow down to it.” For this reason it is said that he was named Achav, a compound of two words: “ach” because he was a brother to Heaven, and “av” because he was a father in regard to avodas kochavim. Though it is hard to understand in Map of the northern and southern kingdoms
232 / THE MONSEY VIEW / March 24, 2021 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
Izevel was so devoted to her idols that every day she prepared golden shekels that were equal to her husband’s weight to use in avodah zarah. Izevel waged war against Yiddishkeit and went on a rampage, killing neviim, trying to root out the holiest of Yidden from the land. Under her rule, avodah zarah became prolific. Of course, there were people who held steadfast to Hashem’s commandments and eschewed idolatry, but with the powerful governmental push toward avodah zarah, the moral and religious fabric of much of Jewish society at that time became severely frayed, and people began to bow down to foreign gods. Though the Yidden didn’t actually believe that the idols possessed any power, some of them worshipped these false gods as an excuse for improper behavior. After all, it was far easier to follow a religion that had no ethical and spiritual obligations than to hold oneself to the high standards of the Torah! Over time, the fear of Heaven fell to a drastic low. The corrosion of yiras Shamayim was evident when Chiel, a general in Achav’s army, decided to rebuild the city of Yericho — something the Yidden had feared to do until that time. Yericho had miraculously fallen when the Yidden first entered Eretz Yisroel, and to commemorate the wonders that had taken place there, Yehoshua ben Nun proclaimed that it should never be rebuilt, and that the one who would do so would be cursed to lose his children during the building process. And so it was. At various steps of construction, Chiel’s sons died, one by one.

ELIYAHU HANAVI COMES FORTH
As Chiel mourned the loss of his last son, Eliyahu Hanavi was told by Hashem to go to the beis avel and confront him. Once there, he informed Chiel that he’d brought the fulfillment of the curse upon himself through his actions. Much scorning and laughter followed, with King Achav (who was close to Chiel and had come to be menachem avel) asking Eliyahu Hanavi if Yehoshua was greater than Moshe Rabbeinu, because, “Is it possible that the curse of the disciple [Yehoshua] was fulfilled, while the curse of Moshe our teacher was not fulfilled?” Achav was referencing the curses related by Moshe Rabbeinu (Devarim 11:16) in regard to idol worship: “If you will turn and worship other gods and bow down to them, Hashem’s wrath will be kindled against you and He will close the heavens.” For years, Achav insisted, the Yidden had already bowed down to idols, and yet rain continued to fall, dew continued to settle, and the land still remained fruitful. No, he said, it could not be that Yehoshua’s curse had come true if the curse of the greater leader, Moshe, had not come true. He didn’t realize that Hashem, in his compassion, had not immediately set into motion the consequences for their misdeeds in order to allow them time to do teshuvah. In what would become his trademark zealousness, Eliyahu responded, “As Hashem, the G-d of Yisroel — whom

I serve! — lives, there will be dew or rain only according to my word!” And with that, the heavens were sealed shut.
ELIYAHU ESCAPES
The word of Hashem came to Eliyahu and commanded him to go hide at Nachal Keris, away from the wrath of Achav and Izevel that would surely flare up when they realized that the rain had stopped falling. There he would drink from the river and be fed by ravens who would bring him bread and meat as sustenance. According to one opinion, the meat came from Achav’s own slaughterhouse, for though he worshipped idols, he also kept a high standard of kashrus. Another opinion cites that the food came from the table of the righteous King Yehoshofat, in the south. As the drought settled over the land and people began to sorely feel its effects, Eliyahu was commanded to go to Tzorfasah where a righteous woman would host him. She and her young son — who is said to have been Yonah Hanavi — provided for Eliyahu’s needs, sharing the very last of their flour and oil with him, even though it meant that starvation
THE SHOWDOWN
Eliyahu Hanavi met with Ovadyahu, a talmid of his who held a high position in Achav’s house. Despite living in a bastion of avodah zarah, Ovadyahu had held on staunchly to Yiddishkeit, and he even used his personal wealth to save 100 neviim from Izevel’s murderous claws by hiding them in two caves. Now Eliyahu told him to summon Achav. When Achav came to Eliyahu, the king heaped insults upon the Navi, calling him the “Troubler of Yisroel.” But Eliyahu replied that it was not he, but Achav himself, who had brought troubles upon the kingdom by abandoning the Torah to serve idols and bringing the people down with him. To turn the hearts of the Yidden back to Hashem, Eliyahu instructed Achav to summon all of the Yidden, the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of Asherah, and have them gather at Mount Carmel. At that point, Achav was desperate for the drought to end, and he was ready to meet Eliyahu’s demands. And so they all went — aside from the 400 prophets of Asherah whom Izevel refused to send. When all of the people were gathered, Eliyahu Hanavi addressed them, asking them how long they would continue jumping between Torah and avodah zarah. He then announced that as the only remaining navi (not including the 100 hidden by Ovadyahu), he was challenging the 450 prophets of Baal to call upon their idol and ask for fire to spontaneously ignite upon the altar they were to prepare. He would do the same, calling out to the One True G-d. The prophets of Baal prepared their altar and their bull offering and cried out for most of an entire day, even mutilating themselves while trying to arouse their idol’s compassion. But to no avail. There was no fire. All the while, Eli-
In what would become his trademark zealousness, Eliyahu responded, “As Hashem, the G-d of Yisroel — whom I serve! — lives, there will be dew or rain only according to my word!” And with that, the heavens were sealed shut. and death seemed to be on the horizon. Eliyahu promised her that Hashem had decreed that neither the flour nor oil jars would become empty until the day He brought rain to the earth once again. For a year Eliyahu stayed in Tzorfasah, until the young child became extremely ill and the breath of life went out from him. Eliyahu Hanavi cried out to Hashem, beseeching him to revive the boy. His prayers were answered, and the child’s soul returned to him. Eliyahu was then commanded to return to Achav.

yahu Hanavi taunted them, saying that maybe their idol was traveling and not available, or asleep and might soon awaken. Finally, enough was enough. Baal had not answered. “Come close to me,” Eliyahu Hanavi called out to the people, telling them to help him build his altar to Hashem. They all came forward, having seen that the worship of Baal was worthless. Now they needed to have their emunah reawakened. Taking twelve stones to represent the twelve shevatim, they constructed the altar, upon which Eliyahu prepared the bull. They then used water to soak wood that was also used in the construction of the altar, to show that the miraculous fire that would burn there would do so despite the natural order of the world. When all was prepared, Eliyahu Hanavi began to daven and ask Hashem that his prayers be answered so that “this people will know that you are Hashem Elokim!” A great fire descended and consumed the bull, the wood of the altar, the stones, the earth, and even the trench of water that had been dug around everything. At that moment there was a great awakening and the people cried out, “Hashem Hu HaElokim! Hashem Hu HaElokim!”
AFTER THE AWAKENING With the veil of confusion lifted from the Yidden’s eyes, they were able to see how they had fallen prey to the yetzer hara and had turned from Hashem. Eliyahu told the people to capture the prophets of Baal, letting none escape. The idolatrous priests were then killed. Seeing the mass teshuvah taking place, Eliyahu began to pray for rain, which soon came. Despite the wonders that had occured, Izevel remained as wicked as ever, and she promised that Eliyahu Hanavi would meet a fate like the slaughtered prophets of Baal. To save his life, Eliyahu fled to the Kingdom of Yehudah,
A great fire came down and consumed the bull, the wood of the altar, the stones, the earth, and even the trench of water that had been dug around everything.

and then even farther — all the way to Har Sinai, where he went into the cave where Moshe Rabbeinu, too, had gone. There, Hashem called out to Eliyahu and asked him why he was there, to which Eliyahu replied, “I have been zealous for Hashem, Hashem Tzevakos, for the Bnei Yisroel abandoned your covenant.” Eliyahu was subsequently sent away from the cave with instructions to anoint Elisha ben Shafat as his successor. Eliyahu Hanavi had other missions to accomplish, but eventually, it came time for this human treasure to be taken away.
One day, as Eliyahu and Elisha were walking and learning together, a chariot and horses of fire swooped down and separated the two of them. Eliyahu “went up in a mighty wind to Heaven.” According to the Radak, Eliyahu Hanavi was carried whole and unharmed to Gan Eden, where he is hidden from humanity, revealing himself only when he is dispatched to perform specific missions. And now, knowing what we do about the life of this tzaddik, we can begin to answer the questions with which we began...
ELIYAHU MALACH HABRIS Eliyahu Hanavi was driven by his absolute devotion to truth and justice. Everything he did was to cause Klal Yisroel to turn from sheker and come close to their Creator. The Torah calls him “zealous” — and he himself said to Hashem when speaking to him from the cave, “Kano kineisi l’Hashem Elokei Tzevakos ki azvu bris’cha Bnei Yisroel… — I have acted zealously for Hashem Tzevakos, for the Bnei Yisroel abandoned your bris...” (Melachim I 19:14). Pirkei D’Rabi Eliezar brings that Hashem responded to Eliyahu:
by the plague in Shittim! They were — and we are! — alive because of his zealousness, which stopped the sickness from raging among them. After Pinchas’ zealous act, Hashem proclaimed, “Hineni nosen lo es brisi shalom — I hereby give him my covenant of peace” (Bamidbar 25:12). Rashi comments that Hashem giving Pinchas the covenant of peace was similar to a person returning a favor to someone who has done a good deed. Hashem wants nothing more than for His people to thrive, and Pinchas, through his actions, enabled Hashem’s beloved Yidden to live. What better way to reward Pinchas than to give him life, middah k’neged middah? That “bris shalom’’ is said to refer to protection from the malach hamaves; Pinchas would not die like an ordinary mortal. According to the Sforno, Pinchas’ body would not deteriorate in the manner of all men, for inside of him, everything would be working in perfect harmony. He would be in a state of ultimate “shalom” — wholeness.
“You are always zealous! You were zealous in Shittim because of immorality, as it is said, ‘Pinchas ben Elazar ben Aharon Hakohen turned away my anger from Bnei Yisroel as he was zealous with my zeal — b’kano es kinasi…’ By your life, Yisroel will not perform a bris unless you see it with your own eyes!”
Throughout Chazal there is much discussion regarding the parallels in Tanach between Eliyahu Hanavi and Pinchas ben Elazar. Both are notably called “zealous” in the pesukim, and both were solely dedicated to absolute truth and justice and were fueled by incredible passion. Moreover, both Eliyahu and Pinchas stepped forward and took drastic action to save Klal Yisroel from heading down a destructive path — specifically when it came to Klal Yisroel’s disregard for the sanctity of the bris between Hashem and His people. Pinchas’ act of killing Zimri ben Salu and Kozbi and Eliyahu’s act of withholding rain from the entire land were considered harsh by other people, but these very acts were vital in saving Klal Yisroel by turning away Hashem’s wrath over the evil that had taken place. Without their powerful intervention, Klal Yisroel would have continued to fall ever deeper into wicked ways and would have earned themselves only difficulties and destruction. In fact, it was precisely because Pinchas was zealous for Hashem that the Yidden weren’t destroyed Kisei Shel Eliyahu
March 24, 2021 / THE MONSEY VIEW / 237 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
Cave of Eliyahu Hanavi on Har Hacarmel
The Targum Yonasan on Bamidbar 25 writes that Hashem proclaimed of Pinchas: “I decree to him My covenant of peace, and will make him a malach, that he may ever live, to announce the Redemption at the end of the days.”
However, in Sefer Malachi (3:23), it is Eliyahu Hanavi who is promised to be sent “before the great and awesome day of Hashem.” Furthermore, earlier in the same perek (3:1), Eliyahu Hanavi is referred to as “malach habris,” — a sign that he, too, reached an immortal status. But these contradictions are actually not contradictions or even parallels, according to Chazal. For as Targum Yonasan writes on Shemos 6:18: “Pinchas hu Eliyahu — Pinchas is Eliyahu!”
Because Pinchas/Eliyahu was extremely zealous in regard to the protection of the bris and motivated Klal Yisroel to do teshuvah at their lowest points, Hashem promised Pinchas/Eliyahu that he would attend every bris in order that the mouth that spoke of the Yidden’s flaws would now be able to speak of their merit. With such an esteemed guest as the heilige Eliyahu Hanavi attending every bris, it would be unthinkable to not prepare him proper accommodations and be mechabed him. Of course we prepare a seat for him! By having a chair and announcing that it is kisei shel Eliyahu — a malach of a man who fought so hard to uphold the bris between Hashem and His people — we are inviting him into our midst and testifying
that we, too, are upholding the covenant. This is also one reason that Eliyahu Hanavi is invited to the Pesach Seder. We invite him in as a witness who testifies that the men at the Seder have all undergone bris milah al pi halacha and are therefore allowed to partake of the Pesach lamb. After all, who would know better than Eliyahu Hanavi? He was witness to every bris!
THE ROLE OF ELIYAHU HANAVI The Rambam (Hilchos Melachim u’Milchamos 12:2) writes of Eliyahu Hanavi: “He will not come to declare the pure, impure, or to declare the impure, pure. He will not dispute the lineage of those presumed to be of proper pedigree, nor will he validate the pedigree of those whose lineage is presumed blemished. Rather, he will establish peace within the world — ela lasim shalom ba’olam.”
Referring back to the “bris shalom,” we recall the words of our sages that describe shalom — peace — as being a state of wholeness, free of conflicting forces. Living that bris — and sharing it with the world — is the goal of Eliyahu Hanavi. This world is a confusing place, with forces pulling man in every direction, causing conflicting emotions to rage inside every person. True shalom can occur only with complete clarity as to what it means to be a Yid. That is the role of Eliyahu Hanavi — to usher in the era of Moshiach by bringing
They were — and we are! — alive because of his zealousness, which stopped the sickness from raging among them. 238 / THE MONSEY VIEW / March 24, 2021 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
peace to the world through lifting the veil of confusion from our eyes — just as he did on Har Hacarmel.
THE KOS SHEL ELIYAHU It is well known that the four cups of wine we drink at the Seder represent the four terms of redemption used in the Chumash to relate how Hashem took us out of bondage in Mitzrayim: V’HOTZEISI — I will take you out from under the burdens of Mitzrayim. V’HITZALTI — I will save you from their labor. V’GA’ALTI — I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and great judgments. V’LAKACHTI — I will take you to Me as a people. –Shemos 6:6–7
It may be less commonly known, however, that there is actually a fifth lashon of redemption used in that portion of Scripture: V’HEIVEISI — I will bring you to the land.
This fifth expression refers to the future redemption of which we have not yet tasted — may it be soon! For this reason we pour a fifth cup and call it the Kos Shel Eliyahu, for it is he who urges us toward teshuvah, toward sheleimus, toward the era of Moshiach. Bimheirah v’yamenu, amen.

he poverty in the home of Rav Alexander Ziskind, the Yesod V’shoresh Ha’avodah, was extreme. But that didn’t stop the Rav from giving enormous amounts of money to help the poor. To fund his endeavors, he would borrow money — and just before the loan ran out, he’d borrow from someone else to repay the first lender… Once, the due date was nearing, and Rav Alexander was far from pulling together the staggering sum of five

The creditor was running after him, and time was running out. Minchah on D-Day. The Rav davened earnestly. If he couldn’t repay the loan on time, not only would he lose his credibility for further loans, but it would also cause an enormous chillul Hashem. Just as he finished davening, a visiting guest approached him. “Are you Rav Ziskind? I heard that you are trustworthy. I need to travel a long way, and I want to leave my cash with you. I know that when I’ll return, you’ll give it back to me.” The man left, and Rav Alexander counted the cash. It amounted to exactly five hundred rubles. The visitor was never seen again — and the Yesod V’shoresh Ha’avodah acknowledged that it had certainly been Eliyahu Hanavi.

REFUAH Rav Elyah Lopian repeated this personal story to his talmid, Reb Dovid Mishkovsky.
A
dark cloud hovered above the Lopian home. The wife of Rav Elyah was critically ill, and the tearful family members surrounded her bed. Suddenly, the door opened and a man walked inside. He turned to Rav Elyah, who was then a yungerman, and asked, “Why the tears?” Rav Elyah replied that his wife was in a life-threatening state. “What illness does she have, and what do the doctors say?” Rav Elyah named the sickness, concluding, “And the doctors have no way to heal her.” The Yid replied, “That’s nothing! Go to this-andthis place, and pick some of the vegetation that grows there. Cook it up and give her some of the liquid to drink. With Hashem’s help, she will get well.” Rav Elyah did as he was told. After sipping the drink, the Rebbetzin recovered. “I am certain it was Eliyahu Hanavi who visited my home that climactic day — not in my zechus, but in the merit of my righteous wife,” Rav Lopian said. A while later, Rav Elyah Lopian met with the Sfas Emes. Before Rav Elyah left, he asked the Rebbe for a bracha. But the Sfas Emes replied, “A yungerman who merited gilui Eliyahu doesn’t need a bracha from me.” Rav Elyah immediately countered, “If the Rebbe knows this secret, then I certainly want his bracha!”

ESCAPE
I
t was at the height of World War II. Famed as a wunder rabbiner, Reb Aharon of Belz was one of the most sought-after Nazi fugitives. Yet along with his brother, the Bilgorayer Rav, and a gabbai, he was taking a most perilous route, attempting to cross the border between Poland and Hungary. The Rav was dressed in fine clothes, resembling a retired officer. The scheme could easily have been foiled, as these so-called “Hungarian officers” could not even speak Hungarian, but they traveled one long trail of nissim, surviving and arriving at their destination beyond natural norms. At one point, in the middle of a busy street, their car broke down. For a while, the driver could not repair it. Had a German passed, they would have been caught. Instead, they were discovered by an old man with a belt loaded with tools. He took a look at the car and had it repaired within two minutes. The Sadigurer Rebbe later commented that this “old man” was surely Eliyahu Hanavi, whom we describe in the zemiros of Motzei Shabbos as wearing a belt — “Ish v’eizor or azur b’masnav.”

PAYCHECK
eb Pesach, the father of Reb Tzvi Elimelech Spira, the Bnei Yissaschar, was a melamed in a faraway town. From Sukkos to Pesach, he stayed at the inn, teaching Torah to the innkeeper’s children. During an especially heavy snowstorm, he watched the innkeeper turn away three peasants who didn’t have enough money to pay for their stay. Reb Pesach was distraught at the thought of

and it soon disappeared. Realizing that the wagon driver would surely give up on finding the package, they opened it. Inside were 43 rubles. At Shefoch Chamascha at the Seder a few days later, Tzvi Elimelech went to open the door for Eliyahu Hanavi. “Tatte,” he called, “the wagon driver is here!” But no one else saw anyone at the door. And the Bnei Yissaschar’s father bid his son not to share the story until the last day of his life.
Tzvi Elimelech went to open the door for Eliyahu Hanavi. “Tatte,” he called, “the wagon driver is here!” these men spending such a frigid night outdoors, and he begged the innkeeper to let them in. “Will you pay for their rooms?” the innkeeper asked. Reb Pesach agreed, and the peasants were led inside. They ended up extending their stay, enjoying the warm indoors for two weeks. At the end of the winter zman, Reb Pesach approached the innkeeper for payment. The innkeeper calculated that he owed the melamed 40 rubles for teaching his children, but the melamed owed him 43 rubles for the peasants’ lodgings. The innkeeper kindly offered that Reb Pesach could pay off the three-ruble balance when he returned after Pesach. Reb Pesach was shocked. How could he return home without the wages that his poor family was desperately waiting for? Ashamed to go home, Reb Pesach first stopped at the local beis midrash. He was spotted by his son, ten-year-old Tzvi Elimelech, who was delighted to see his father. As they walked home together, a passing wagon hit a bump, and a package fell off. They tried running after the wagon to return the package, but they couldn’t run fast enough,

SHADCHAN
eb Chaim Mendel was a simple Yid, a chassid of Reb Mottel of Chernobyl. Hearing the Rebbe speak of the importance of supporting talmidei chachamim, Reb Chaim Mendel began regularly dispensing large sums to the cause. One day, Reb Chaim Mendel went to the Rebbe and lamented that although he supported these great Yidden generously, he never merited to see any of them. He also told the Rebbe about a shidduch that was redt to his son, with the daughter of Baruch Leib, a local forest ranger. Reb Chaim Mendel had dreamed of marrying off his son to the daughter of a talmid chacham and was hesitant about this shidduch. “It is the way of the world that hidden tzaddikim remain hidden,” the Rebbe said, “and shidduchim are Heavenly matters. Who am I to mix in?” The Rebbe paused and then added, “Perhaps if you come to my Seder, you will merit seeing Eliyahu Hanavi. Maybe he’ll even be disguised as one of these hidden tzaddikim…” Reb Chaim Mendel was awestruck. Could a simple Yid like himself actually see Eliyahu Hanavi? In the days leading up to Pesach, he increased his Torah and tefillah, hoping he would indeed be zoche. When the door was opened for Shefoch Chamascha, Reb Chaim Mendel watched Eliyahu walk in — and he was dressed like none other than Reb Baruch Leib! Reb Chaim Mendel fainted on the spot. When he was revived, the Rebbe winked at him not to talk, though he did call out, “Reb
Chaim Mendel, both of your requests have been fulfilled.” And Reb Chaim Mendel gratefully concluded the shidduch with the daughter of Reb Baruch Leib, whom he now knew was in fact a hidden tzaddik.

WE ARE READY! are you?
YOM TOV
here was once a Yid whose wheel of fortune changed not long before Pesach. From an extraordinarily wealthy man, he became a penniless pauper, and there was literally no means with which to prepare for yom tov. The man suggested to his wife that they sell their beautiful kos shel Eliyahu, but she refused, arguing that she’d rather go hungry and continue to honor Eliyahu Hanavi as they had every year. On Erev Pesach, when the man was in shul, there was a knock at their door. “Can I be your guest for yom tov?” asked the Yid at the door. “It would be our pleasure,” the woman replied, “but we haven’t got any food for ourselves that we can possibly share.” “That isn’t a problem,” the man said, removing some money from his wallet. “Here, buy whatever you need. I’ll be back after davening tonight.” That night, the baal habayis trudged home from shul. He knew there wasn’t much waiting for him. How surprised he was to see a fully laden table! Soon the guest arrived. He blessed the couple with wealth and everything good, and then promptly disappeared just as strangely as he had arrived. This was no ordinary guest. After yom tov, the host went to his Rebbe, Reb Yisroel of Ruzhin, who revealed that this must have been none other than Eliyahu Hanavi himself. And amazingly, the wife, who had urged her husband to keep the becher, merited seeing him twice…

Fully Stocked with all your Pesach Wine and Liquor
BY: RIKI SCHREIBER
Rosa stared dismally at the lopsided tablecloth. She had pulled it, from both directions, before sitting down. And she had set the heavy Seder plate right in the middle to keep it from slithering off the table. But polyester tablecloths have their own minds and hers was an especially autonomous one and she was. just. giving. up. On everything. 260 / THE MONSEY VIEW / March 24, 2021 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
On the other side of the wall — the side that was scratched and scribbled — she could hear the Eisensteins gathering over-excited grandchildren, a frenzied squabble over the high-backed chair to Zeidy’s right, more chairs scratching freshly scrubbed wood, and — oh, the first wine cup casualty the predictable kickoff for the Seder to officially begin. It just wasn’t fair! Rosa was used to quiet. She even guiltily enjoyed it, sometimes, crawling into bed at 7 p.m. with a sort of satisfied vengeance as the exhausting clamor kept the elderly Eisensteins awake only inches away. But Pesach… Pesach was meant to be celebrated with family. Family! Children, grandchildren, marrieds, starry-
While she WOULD HAVE NEVER chosen the lonely Seder she had to go through, it left her with a gift that made it all worth it. eyed young couples, colicky babies… Not alone, with only a polyester insurgent of a tablecloth to stare back blankly into her face. * * * * * *
You know Rosa. No, really, you do. Not a childless 96-year-old Holocaust survivor. She’s your grandmother. My grandmother. The bubby who lives upstairs. And she’s not childless, either. (One hundred and four descendants, to be exact.) But while Hashem has blessed many thousands of Rosas around the world with beautiful families, COVID-19 has snatched away their close presence. Last year’s traumatically lonely Sederarim seem, for many elderly individuals, frighteningly likely to repeat themselves once more. For many, Pesach 5781 will be celebrated with thanks and gratitude to Hashem for having given us another year of health and life. We absolutely no longer take that for granted. But for many, many others, the nightmare is far from over. Older parents and grandparents, medically compromised patients, and non-vaccinated or otherwise susceptible individuals are still staring the monster in the face. They will experience a gut-wrenching déjà vu as they sit down once again before a long, empty table, quietly asking themselves the Mah Nishtanah, only their own voices providing the answer. It seems so… un-Jewish. So contrary to the very point of Pesach. The korban eaten in groups, the volleying of questions and answers, the recounting of Yetzias Mitzrayim to an enraptured (okay, nodding-off) crowd… What is Pesach if not a celebration of shared rejoicing? Ah, right. Perhaps it is simply yet another reminder of what we are here to do — serve Hashem the way He wants. Even if it’s not photogenic. But as the children and grandchildren of the various Rosas, even if we may be painfully helpless to save them the traumatic experience of another solitary Seder, we can take some steps to make it somewhat easier; perhaps, dare we say... even a different kind of beautiful?
March 24, 2021 / THE MONSEY VIEW / 261 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
We each sat in remote corners on our own, but we still felt like we were celebrating together and “hearing” one another. (And we’ve had twelve months to assimilate the notion. We have no excuses this time.) We approach this second COVID-shadowed Seder with more planning, more acceptance, and more knowledge (and less enthusiasm, less optimism, and less energy, but we won’t go down that route). This time, we have others’ experience to spark some ideas: * * * * * *
keep the Seder table absolutely Pesach’dig. Later, my mother told me that my father had still felt uncomfortable eating the Seder meal over a mass of photos that had clearly been through many hands — despite the protective layer. They removed the sheet and hung it on the wall near them instead, and conducted their Seder with hundreds of smiling faces staring back at them. My mother never cries. But last year, she did. She told us it was the most beautiful gift we had ever given to her. * * * * * *
Chaya from Eretz Yisroel shares: In our neighborhood, a notice went out announcing that on the Seder night, at exactly 12:00 midnight, every family should go out to their porch or front of the house so that all of the neighborhood children could say the Mah Nishtanah together, loudly, for the neighbors eating alone with no one to say it to them.
Does your mind also go down random routes, wondering how, if fifteen people all prepare schnitzel, the most straightforward food to prepare, you will still get fifteen very different results? Preparing a Haggadah for the lonely grandparents seems like the most straightforward thing to do, right? (If you didn’t prepare one last year, don’t admit it.) Just look how many ways this “simple” idea can be presented. See if any of these fit your family’s style (or send us your own recipe).
And that’s exactly what we did. At midnight, the entire neighborhoodsuddenly4lledwithyoungvoicescallingout the Mah Nishtanah for their elderly neighbors, who watched from the windows and unabashedly wiped away their tears. I cannot say I’m happy we’re still in the throes of yet another wave, but this was an incredible experience that I will gladly relive.
Yocheved from Eretz Yisroel shares:
Our family prepared the most delightful Haggadah for my in-laws. Every family was assigned one section to work on. We inserted pictures, comments, younger kids’ drawings, and of course, the actual words of the Haggadah, and the result was a super-thick booklet rich in content and love. It Chana Devora from Lakewood shares: may have looked more like a scrapbook than a sefer, but it de4nitelycarriedmyin-lawsthroughavery,veryinspiring We really, really wanted my parents to feel like their grandSeder. childrenwere4llingtheirdiningroomjustlikeeveryyear,but noneofuswereRyingin,obviously.nstead,whilewecould not place our actual children around the table, the least we could do was put photos of them!
Sara from Brooklyn shares:
We all sent loads of photos of our children to the one brother who lives near my parents, and he and his children We took blank letter-sized papers and put a paragraph from painstakingly pasted the hundreds of images onto a large the Haggadah at the top of each.

Ah… I love original people. Admittedly, many of us thought of (even if we didn’t implement) the “send Bubby and Zeidy our children’s divrei Torah” idea. But how many of us thought of doing it in the other direction? The next family turned the idea on its head… wow!

Rachel from Manchester shares: Our children asked us to send them divrei Torah that we prepared so that they, in turn, could read them to their families at the Seder table. That way, even from afar we knew we were part of the family-wide Sedarim. They, too, sent us booklets of divrei Torah from their children, and Pesach projects that their younger children had prepared for us. So all in all, we each sat in remote corners on our own, but we still felt like we were celebrating together and “hearing” one another.

Remember last year? (Yes, we know you cannot forget. It was a rhetorical question.) Some mothers, apparently, were somewhat less fazed by the Pesach cleaning with an overstaffed crew of “helping hands” following them around. Or maybe this was their way to solve the problem?
Blimie B. from Brooklyn shares: Before Pesach, our extended family collaborated to join our in-laws’ Seder in some way.

ayin hara, but between the ten makkos, the Mitzri’im and the Yidden, the chachamim in Bnei Brak, the four sons and Krias Yam Suf, there were plenty of roles to go around. Every family got two simanim to work on, and Maggid was split among three families. It was a big job, but so, so worth it! While we originally intended for it to simply be a heartwarmer for my in-laws, we all ended up with a treasured keepsake and extended family memories that brought us close and will remain with us forever.
Who says one has to hide behind young children for a family Haggadah?
Sharon from Los Angeles shares: My sibling and I are the only two children, but each of us has a few marrieds and teenagers, and we pooled our resources to do what we could to ease things for our 80-year-old mother, who was going to be spending Pesach alone forthe4rsttimeinherlife.
The compilation we made for her was a Haggadah,whichalsocontaineddi - er ent sections. Some of us wrote memories of past Sedarim with her and what we remembered most, and others wrote poems of chizuk and love. One younger child drew a picture of all of us looking ( reallyskinnyasstick4gures, I must say) sitting around the Seder tabletogether,withthetitleCantWei for Next Year” on top. (My husband added “l’shanah haba’ah b’Yerushalayim” underneath.)
Our teenagers dressed up the younger kids, some as Seder participants in their yom tov clothes, and others as characters from the Haggadah. We set the table and took photos of the entire Seder process, from Kadeish to Nirtzah, with the kids acting out both the steps and the pertinent characters.
My mother later shared with us that she just stared and stared at this simple illustration throughout the Seder, reminding herself that her loneliness was temporary — and that she has a family who wished to be with her no less than she wished to be with them, and that im yirtzeh Hashem, l’shanah haba’ah b’Yerushalayim…

And, last: The Levines live next door to a woman who lost her husbandinthe4rstwaveofCOVD-While .9 1 anentire generationwasgoingtospendSederaloneforthe4rst time in their lives, hers was an exceptionally painful situation. The Levines could not bear the thought of the widow sitting alone at the Seder. They knew they had to do something about it. This incredible family came up with a brilliant plan. They contacted the woman’s married children and asked them to teach them their late father’s special Seder niggunim, and any other special custom that he had. Then they moved their furniture so that their table was across the window facing their neighbor’s, and conducted their Seder for her to see, just as her husband used to do...
When I heard this story, I had only one thought: How can Moshiach possibly not be here already?! But I hear him coming. I definitely do. So do you, right? And if that renders this article completely outdated, I’m totally okay with that. I’m sure Rosa is too. All names have been changed. (Yes, mine too.)

THE STORY OF THREE SISTERS’ ESCAPE FROM A MIDDLE EASTERN WAR ZONE
The passage was narrow and the horses were wide, but their sure-footed steps kept the riders on the rocky mountain path. ...Until they didn’t. Before her eyes, thirteen-year-old Rivka watched the horse in front of her lose his footing and tumble down… down... down... into the valley below. The rider, too, disappeared from view.
Her own horse now spooked, Rivka shrieked and held tight to her steed, praying that she’d live to see another day. She was fleeing for her life — but would she lose it along the way?
LIFE IN IRAN “I was born in Iran in a city called Isfahan,” Mrs. Weberman (now Feinberg), a Monsey local, tells me when we speak. “I recently learned that the founders of the city were Jews and it was once called Yehudiyeh. “My grandmother’s generation lived in a time of poverty, disease and anti-Semitism, but before I was born there had been a revolution in which the Shah’s father [Reza Shah Pahlavi] came to control Iran.” Unlike during her grandmother’s days, when Jews were heavily persecuted under the Qajar dynasty, the days of the Pahlavi reign were relatively calm for the Yidden, as the king desired to steer the country away from the religious fervor that had prevailed during the Qajar reign. The Qajars had been heavily influenced by Shia Islam and treated the Jews as unclean creatures to be held in contempt. “Jews were considered tamei. If it was raining and they were wet and touched a Muslim, they were thought to transmit tumah. They had to stay home,” Mrs. Weberman says about the Qajar reign. Their hatred toward the Jews
reached a fever-pitch every week when devout Muslims gathered in their mosques and had their animosity stoked by religious leaders. “Every Friday, the doors to the mosque would open and the Muslims would riot in the Jewish quarter,” Mrs. Weberman tells me. “They were encouraged to do damage to the Jews, and there were often pogroms. When I was growing up, though, was the beginning of a bright future.” When Mohammad Reza Pahlavi (known as the Shah) came to power in 1941, his goal was to modernize the country and use its natural oil resources to improve the economy. Under his rule, Iran became largely secularized, and life improved drastically for the Yidden. Schools for Jewish children were allowed to be established by organizations from outside the country, but the schools were not religious. While they taught the students alefbeis, halacha was missing from the curriculum. “I learned everything from my parents,” Mrs. Weberman says. “When they made a bracha, I learned to make a bracha. This was the lifestyle.” Jewish tradition was passed down from parent to child, but be-
cause of the incredible burden of anti-Semitism and poverty of previous years, Yiddishkeit wasn’t as strong as it had been in earlier generations. As much as her parents, the Ebrahimis, were able to transmit to the children, they did — but without formal Jewish education, it was difficult. “The generations were getting weaker and weaker,” Mrs. Weberman laments. “How much could you pass down by memory alone? “Once, when I was a little girl, I touched the branch of a tree on Shabbos, and my grandfather shouted from the window, ‘Don’t touch the tree!’ But he couldn’t explain the concept of muktzah. We also didn’t know anything about the laws of eruvin. The houses in Iran were not like the Monsey houses; here, you have no privacy unless you are inside your house. There, there were four walls around the houses, and the streets were very narrow, unable to accommodate cars. Because every house and neighborhood had walls, the eruv was built into the community.” Despite the waning level of Torah education, Mrs. Weberman’s family was proud to keep the halachos they retained. “Preparations before Shabbos
March 24, 2021 / THE MONSEY VIEW / 275 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
were like they are here, and we didn’t light a fire on Shabbos for cooking. We did use an electric kettle to make tea, and only when I came to Eretz Yisroel did I realize that electricity is a type of fire.” “We kept kashrus, Shabbos and yom tov. We would take the chicken from the merchant’s cages on Wednesday or Thursday to where the shochet would stand waiting. My mother would kasher everything; she even knew how to kasher meat from a cow!” Mrs. Weberman laughs as she recalls those days. “I hated removing the feathers; I hated touching the chickens! And my mother kept telling me I would starve if I didn’t learn how to kasher chicken. Then, when I got to Eretz Yisroel, I called her and told her about the clean chicken sold in packages — that I wouldn’t starve!” Overall, the Yidden were free to live as Jews at that point with little fear of anti-Semitic flare-ups. But the peaceful times wouldn’t last.
Due to the volatile situation in Iran, the consulate changed its location daily, making things even more difficult. Thankfully, the girls were blessed with Heavenly assistance.
ENCOUNTER WITH ELIYAHU HANAVI? “On one of the trips to Tehran, the soldiers and civilians were fighting,” Mrs. Weberman tells me. “We were on the bus saying Tehillim, and we saw smoke billowing out of the buildings.” Bullets flew across the street while the teenage girls were trapped in the middle of the fray. “The bus driver opened the doors and said ‘Get out of here! I can’t keep
SHATTERED PEACE The late 1970s saw the downfall of the blossoming country, as power was wrested from the Shah by Ayatollah Khomeini, who established the Islamic Republic of Iran in place of the secular monarchy. The oncethriving Iran became an unstable, danger-wrought country — once again under the control of Shia Islamists. “There were riots in the streets, and the people turned against the king. He used to go for blood transfusions to Israel, and the people who hated him would say he has Jewish blood, and that he is against the people.” While the Shah was away from Iran for medical treatment, Khomeini — who’d been in exile since 1965 — returned to Iran and took over. Millions took to the street to joyously welcome him. “There was a great celebration and the people thought they would have paradise,” Mrs. Weberman explains. But the masses were wrong. While the revolution was underway, the economy became unstable, and every day became a fight to survive. The streets turned into war zones. “While there was so much instability in Iran, everything was closed — schools, shops, everything. The situation became worse and worse, and people in the country that had known plenty all of a sudden stood in lines waiting for the grocery to bring eggs, meat, bread. The basics.” In a sad twist of irony, the oil-rich country was unable to even provide oil for its citizens to heat their homes. “It continued like that for months. I was sixteen at the time. In the middle of this mess, the Israeli government decided that any Jew could come to Eretz Yisroel.” Mrs. Weberman’s parents, feeling that there was no other option, decided to send her and her older sister to the Holy Land. “We needed to translate our birth certificates and diplomas and other documents. We were constantly busing overnight to Tehran, which was eight hours away, to take care of the documents.”
276 / THE MONSEY VIEW / March 24, 2021 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
you safe!’ We took our knapsacks and had no idea where to go. We were standing on the sidewalk, and all of a sudden, a very old man approached and asked us what we were doing outside at this scary time. “We explained that we were going to our aunt, who lived in Tehran, to be able to finalize our papers to go to Eretz Yisroel.” The elderly man told the girls he knew where their aunt lived, and that he would take them there. “And sure enough,” Mrs. Weberman says, “he took us to their house. My aunt opened the door. ‘How did you get here?!’ she asked. ‘Don’t you know what’s going on outside?!’ “I turned around to say thank you to the old man, but no one was there… My aunt said no one had been there the entire time. I think Eliyahu Hanavi was sent to rescue us.”
A weathered shul in Isfahan
OFF TO ERETZ YISROEL When Mrs. Weberman and her sister had finally finished preparing all of the necessary paperwork and were ready to leave, they were contacted by an Israeli embassy worker. “We were told that the plane was leaving for Eretz Yisroel soon and that it would be the last one out. But my grandfather had passed away that week, and so we decided to postpone our trip. The embassy worker kept calling, telling us that we were going to lose our opportunity.” Despite the pressure, the Ebrahimis left the girls’ emigration in the hands of the One Who knows best. “When the shivah was over, we got a call that the real final plane was leaving, and we left on the last El Al flight from Iran.” It was heart-wrenching for the family to part, but there was little option at that point. “My parents knew that there was no future for us in Iran; we had no choice.” Fear of the difficult times and the uptick in radical Islam drove many Yidden to escape the country, though it wasn’t always feasible for the older generation to emigrate. Many had elderly parents who needed care, or houses and businesses that needed to be liquidated before departing. For some, the fear of starting over in a new country with a new language was greater than the fear of living in an unstable country. The Ebrahimi girls were among those who fled, leaving their beloved parents behind. “It was exceptionally sad for us. My parents were fasting, and they didn’t know when they would see us again. They didn’t even know where we were going.” Despite their hearts being torn asunder, the girls prepared themselves for the unknown. But as Mrs. Weberman says, “If we had known what was waiting for us, we’d never have done it.”
ALONE IN A NEW LAND “My older sister and I landed in Eretz Yisroel on a Thursday, and were taken to a kibbutz dorm. It was not a frum kibbutz, and we realized that it wasn’t the place for us.”
Leaving their suitcases in the dormitory, the two girls set off to find their mother’s sister who lived in Eretz Yisroel, promising the kibbutz administrators that they’d come back soon, for the kibbutz had custody over the teens. “My aunt had been widowed for many years and had raised eight beautiful children by cleaning houses. Her offspring are all frum and ehrlich.” The girls took a taxi to the neighborhood where they knew their aunt lived. “We knew she was very poor and lived in a very big room with a bathroom and kitchen attached, but we couldn’t find the house. So we went back to the road and stood there, unsure of how to proceed.” A short while later, a couple of people passed, and when they heard who the girls were looking for, they started hugging and kissing them. “We are your first cousins!” they said. “Our mother is not home; she went to England for our sister’s chasunah.” With funds being so scarce, most of the children in the family were unable to attend their sibling’s wedding. Mrs. Weberman and her sister were soon sent to stay with family in Kiryat Arba. The following Sunday, they went with a male cousin to reclaim the property they’d left at the irreligious kibbutz dormitory. Within a week, the girls were placed in a school for frum students who wanted to continue their education. Some months after entering the country, Mrs. Weberman’s older sister became engaged, her shidduch orchestrated through the capable hands of the dorm mother. By that time, relations between Iran and Israel had completely deteriorated, but despite the difficulties of traveling from Iran to Eretz Yisroel, Mrs. Ebrahimi was committed to being at her daughter’s chuppah. Knowing she might be forced to resort to bribes, Mrs. Ebrahimi taped gold coins onto the inside of the suitcas-

es. “Don’t blame me if I don’t make it to the chasunah,” she warned the girls. Baruch Hashem, Mrs. Ebrahimi did make it to Eretz Yisroel safely through another country, and was graciously given a bed in her daughter’s room so the two could soak up the time they had together. But eventually it was time for her to return to Iran. This was the last time Mrs. Weberman saw her mother.
DIVERGENT PATHS After her sister married and built her own home, the teenager spent Shabbos there every week. But then, three years later, she herself got married, and the Ebrahimi girl from Iran became Mrs. Weberman of America. If the changes from living in Iran to living in Eretz Yisroel weren’t drastic enough, her marriage brought her to a whole new level of acclimatization. “I married a guy who grew up learning in a chassidishe yeshivah. I had to tackle culture, language, country — all at once.” As is common in the heimishe community in the USA, her husband’s family was used to speaking a mixture of languages, often lapsing into Yiddish, which was new to Mrs. Weberman’s ears. “I tried very hard to learn the language. I wanted so badly to understand what the family was saying! They didn’t realize how hard it was for me, and they’d go back and forth between Yiddish and English in the middle of a sentence.” Being very determined to master both languages, Mrs. Weberman attended an ESL program. “I took one semester, and I got so good at it that after six months of being in America, I could comfortably speak to anyone in the language. Then I started learning Yiddish.” Mrs. Weberman is now the quintessential polyglot, having

While Mrs. Weberman was putting down roots in America, her older sister continued walking upon the holy stones in Eretz Yisroel. Though distanced by many thousands of miles, their hearts remained close to the family they had in Iran. And as the situation escalated dramatically after they left in 1979, they grew ever more worried. Despite Ayatollah Khomeini’s promising the Jews that they’d be protected under his rule, the actions of his regime proved otherwise. In March 1979, a wealthy business owner and the president of the Tehran Jewish Society, Habib Elghanian, was arrested by the new Islamic government under accusations of being a spy, as well as “warring with Allh and His emissaries.” He was sentenced to death by firing squad. A sense of panic enveloped the community, with thousands attempting to flee. The borders, however, were closed. Khomeini wanted to prevent those with the brightest of minds and the fullest of pockets from leaving the country. Illegally sneaking over the border was the only way out. Knowing their younger sister Rivka was trapped in a volatile country that had no love for its Yidden, Mrs. Weberman and her older sister sought ways to get her out of Iran. “It wasn’t cheap to speak with each other,” Mrs. Weberman says of the international phone calls, “but each time we spoke, we discussed how to get her out of Iran.” Eventually, the Ebrahimi family in Iran obtained the number of a Kurdish smuggler who they were told could get Rivka over the border into Turkey, after which she would journey to join one of her sisters. But the way would not be easy.
SMUGGLING RIVKA “I am your uncle, and I am calling you back because you left me a message. I want to take you on a trip to Stanbul Street.” Rivka was home alone when the phone call came. The Kurdish smuggler was speaking in code, telling her he was ready to take her out of Iran. The Ebrahimis had left a message for him, requesting his services, and now he was responding, ready to undertake the mission. “Stanbul Street is in Tehran,” Mrs. Weberman explains, decoding the smuggler’s statement. “That was a code word for Turkey, because the capital is Istanbul.” The smuggler named his price: 70,000 tuman, equivalent to $5,000. But he spoke in code, referring to the money as “green herbs.” His fee was considered exorbitant, and to raise
the funds, the Ebrahimis had to borrow money from extended family. Before Rivka hung up the phone, the smuggler gave her specific instructions. “It is cold now, so you should dress very warmly. We’re going to spend a lot of time touring the street. Bring comfortable shoes, a good coat and mittens, because we will be outdoors a lot. Your parents should bring you to Tehran in three days.” The Ebrahimis bought their daughter the highest-quality gear available and prepared her for the trip as best as possible. In a stroke of hashgacha pratis, two bachurim who were also shopping for goods were identified by Rivka, who intuitively knew that they were trying to escape as well. Her parents spoke to the young men, and they promised to watch over her as their group traveled.
On that day, the Ebrahimi parents accompanied Rivka on the bus to Tehran, studiously ignoring the bachurim who sat in the back to avoid arousing suspicion. The smuggler met them and spoke to each person separately, instructing them to take another bus to a city near the border between Iran and Turkey. Once there, parents and daughter were separated, with Rivka heading toward her future and her parents back to a life locked in Iran.
KEEP MOVING! “You are going to meet a lot of people,” the smuggler told Rivka. “Stay away from everyone; do not talk to any other people, only to me.” He instructed the men in their group to approach him as they alighted from the bus to affectionately hug him as one would an uncle. Rivka, too, was told to smile and show recognition of him as a relative. With the dangers of the bus station finally behind them, the group of ten refugees — men and women, Jews and non-Jews — were taken to a Kurdish family’s home. They were offered a meal, and though the Yidden appreciated the care, they wouldn’t touch the meat, helping themselves to only fruits and tea. After relaxing for several hours, the group bundled up and set out, braving the extreme cold and dark until they

could find a pickup truck to take them partway toward their destination: the border. By night they traveled, and by day they rested at homes dotting their trail. They were instructed to remain invisible by the light of day, as their non-Kurdish appearances would be a dead giveaway should curious onlookers spot them. “One night they were walking and walking and walking where there were no houses — walking on a dirt road strewn with rocks that they kept tripping over,” Mrs. Weberman says. “At one point, my sister’s legs would no longer obey her. She collapsed and passed out. The two bachurim and a woman came over to her and picked her up under her arms. ‘We will help you,’ they said. ‘It’s very dangerous to stop. If they find us, it will be very bad.’ But no matter how hard she tried, she kept falling. The smuggler gave her five minutes to rest.” The woman massaged Rivka’s hands and legs, but when she tried to walk again, she kept collapsing. Soon the smuggler became upset. “Daylight will be in one hour!” he said. “It’s very dangerous here. You have to walk!’” The other members of the group became very frightened, and they began yelling at Rivka, saying that she was jeopardizing them all, and that they would surely be captured. Telling herself that she had to do it for the sake of the group, Rivka pushed herself to stand upright and begin walking. Baruch Hashem, they reached a friendly village before sunrise, where she was allowed to rest upon a carpet. The young girl promptly fell asleep and slept until after noon — partially refueled for another night of difficult travel.
A HARROWING WAY Bread, crackers and hard-boiled eggs were their dietary staples, with little else to sustain the members of the group as they traveled. Even water was scarce. With little in their
282 / THE MONSEY VIEW / March 24, 2021 www.themonseyview.com / 845.600.8484
bellies, they forged ahead, praying for a brighter future. Through the mountains the small group traveled — sometimes by truck, sometimes by foot. At one point, where the mountains were too treacherous to hike, horses were waiting to carry them. In single file, the travel-worn passengers pushed themselves ever forward, knowing that every step their horses took brought them one bit closer to freedom. Soon, they prayed, soon they would be over the border and out of Iran. But first, they’d have to overcome the hurdles in their path. Behind Rivka rode a married couple. Ahead of her was an old man. The passage was narrow and the horses were wide, but their sure-footed steps kept the riders on the rocky mountain path. ...Until they didn’t. Before her young eyes, Rivka watched the horse in front of her lose its footing and tumble down… down... down... into the valley below. The rider, too, disappeared from view. Her own horse now spooked, Rivka shrieked and held tight to her steed, praying that she’d live to see another day. One of the bachurim who’d promised to watch over her dismounted from his own steed and worked his way to Rivka, getting her off the skittery horse and calming her down. The smuggler rushed over and reprimanded Rivka for screaming, telling her that if she didn’t follow instructions and got into trouble, he wouldn’t be able to help her. While the bachurim spoke words of chizuk to the young girl, the other refugees worked their way down the side of the mountain to where the old man lay — badly bruised but still alive. The horse was a goner, but the man was able to continue on his journey. “It was very traumatic for my sister,” Mrs. Weberman tells me. For the young girl running for her life, witnessing a man nearly plunge to his death, and riding for hours on a horse through dangerous mountain passages — trauma was the order of the day. “Many times, she fell asleep on the horse and lost her grip. When they were going through the mountainous areas, there was a very fast river, and each time she fell off she risked falling into the river,” Mrs. Weberman says. “The experience of seeing the man roll down was terrifying. She felt so helpless, thinking, ‘This could happen to me!’” When the leg of the trip requiring the horses finally came to an end, Rivka’s legs were so numb from the cold and the awkward position she’d been in that when she slid off the horse, she was unable to move. The cold was so brutal that despite the high quality gear the Ebrahimis had purchased for their daughter, it was impossible to keep warm. Rivka was
fortunate, at least, that her group was not harassed by their smuggler; in other groups, she’d learned, the smugglers stole from the refugees, relieving them of their money and warm clothing. Though one would assume that a truck ride would be more readily welcome than the harrowing miles covered by horseback, the next portion of the trip was equally bad. The group of ten squeezed into the flatbed of a pickup truck, with the frigid winds whipping them harshly from every side. “It was extremely bumpy, and one could fall out if not holding on to something.” And Rivka was so, so thirsty; she hadn’t drunk in days. Finally, the land leveled out, and the truck approached a river and stopped. The thirst-racked group lay down near the water and filled their hands with the life-giving fluid,

The group of ten squeezed into the flatbed of a pickup truck, with the frigid winds whipping them harshly from every side. drinking, drinking, drinking. After a few moments, the Kurdish smuggler warned them to stop drinking because it was too cold and they would become sick from too much water. “I don’t have a doctor here,” he said. “It’s very dangerous if you get sick. I will have no way to help you.” Despite their desire to drink more, everyone stopped. Later that night, they set out to cross the river, which marked the border between Iran and Turkey. Here, too, they had to travel on horseback, with the water reaching the bellies of the beasts. As soon as the group crossed the river, the smugglers jumped onto the horses and crossed back over, leaving the refugees to fend for themselves. “Once you are over the border,” they’d been told, “you have to run.” And run they did.
ON THE OTHER SIDE When the group finally reached a clearing far enough from the border, they began to settle down. Because they were all in danger of succumbing to hypothermia, the bachurim set out to build a fire, and one of the families had a large blanket that all the women shared to keep warm. As they warmed themselves near the crackling flames, the group drifted off to sleep. With the morning sun dawned the realization that Hashem’s Hand had been shielding the group throughout the night, for the “clearing” they’d settled in was not a clearing in the brush, but a cement road!

that a car had not come their way and driven over them in the night! Quickly gathering their things, the jubilant group began walking, looking for someone who could direct them to the nearest police station, as the smuggler had advised. Eventually, they found someone with whom they were able to communicate in broken English, who told them where to go. At the police station, each person was subjected to an interrogation, the police trying to root out any dangerous elements from among the refugees. Finally convinced that the ten escapees from Iran were harmless and simply seeking a better life, the police supplied the group with information about how to settle in, and the group was placed on buses headed toward the town of Van. In Van, the group was once again interrogated and released, and then sent further, to Istanbul, where a grungy “hotel” hosted the refugees. In that sad excuse for accommodations, the Iranian Jews spent Shavuos, davening together and reciting Kiddush over “wine” made from raisins soaked in warm water. In this way, Rivka spent yom tov far away from all those she held dear. It wasn’t a yom tov to envy, but she was alive! While in Istanbul, the Jewish individuals were taken to the Israeli embassy, where they were offered the opportunity
“I called my older sister and said, ‘Go to the airport — go and greet her!’”
“My parents suffered a lot not knowing what happened to Rivka,” Mrs. Weberman tells me. “This trip could have taken a few hours — tops — to reach the border, but it took them three and a half weeks. During that time, my parents didn’t know whether she was alive or dead, and whether she’d reached the border or not.” During those excruciating weeks, Mrs. Weberman and her sister stayed home, tied to the phone, waiting to hear word from their younger sister. “Finally, one day the phone rang. It was Rivka, who said she was almost on her way to Eretz Yisroel. She’d by flying with El Al, and she told me to inform our other sister. I called my older sister and said, ‘Go to the airport — go and greet her!’” Then Mrs. Weberman phoned the Ebrahimis, speaking in code to protect her parents from any backlash from an irate Iranian government. “I said, ‘The trip to Stanbul Street was very good, and she is coming home.’” The relief that washed over the family was immense. But when Mrs. Weberman’s older sister arrived at the airport, she searched every face, looking for her little sister, not seeing her among the crowd. But then a woman broke away from the group and ran toward her — a once-beautiful Jewish girl, now emaciated and gray, unwashed for a month, covered in mountain dirt. Was this really Rivka? Had their sister come to Eretz Yisroel? She had. And as soon as Mrs. Weberman was able, she was on a flight to Eretz Yisroel to be united with her beloved sisters. And despite never seeing their parents again, the three Ebrahimi girls went on to establish beautiful branches of their family tree. Their story is as old as the story of Am Yisroel. They were forced to flee to ensure survival — and they thrived despite the odds.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT! In anticipation of the Chametz Burning on Friday, March 26, the Monsey Fire District and the Brewer Fire Engine Company No. 1 are announcing the following health and safety guidelines: A) We strongly urge the public to exclusively burn their chametz only at the predesignated areas that will be made available at multiple locations throughout town. These organized fires are the most effectively secured against potential injuries and also ensure that all items are completely burned. B) If someone chooses to make a small fire despite this guidance, it should be set in a pan on a paved driveway (not on a porch or other surface), away from cars and houses, and with the uninterrupted presence of an adult. Water should be prepared right nearby. C) By law, the fire department is required to respond to every 911 fire call, and the chiefs have the responsibility and discretion to determine the appropriate response. Arguments such as “my father ran in for just a minute” or “why do you care if we make a small fire?” are not relevant against the duty to protect the safety of the neighborhood. D) Please remember that a large percentage of local fire volunteers are members of the community who also need to prepare for Pesach and do not wish to spend this busy day with minor calls or inconveniencing fellow residents. As such, please adhere to the aforementioned guidance. Most importantly, please also ensure that children do not in any way play with fire. Thank you. We wish you all a happy and healthy Pesach! T�� C�m�is�i���r� P.S. With the clock having been moved to DST, please remember to change the batteries of your smoke detectors. Thank you.

Hi, everybody! Here are the last few tasks before Seder night. I’m keeping the article short so I don’t waste too much of your precious time.
Wednesday, March 24 knowitssupposedtobeyourdayobut , youwouldnt really take a vacation just a few days to Pesach, right? So… today is your (or rather, your mother’s) lucky day. It depends on how you choose to look at it. Haveyourmothergiveyou4vejobs,anddoitjoyfullyand ezciently. Of course, if there are ten things on your mother’s to-do list, then that’s double the fun! Sing while you do job number one, dance through the second job, and hop while you do chore number three. What, no hopping? You gotta do something. Be creative! Nowsmileallthewaythroughyourfourthjob.And4fth, but certainly not least, you get to say a joke to everyone whowalkspastwhileyouremarkingthatoneoyourlist.

Thursday, March 25 BEDIKAS CHOMETZ! So suddenly, the day is here. (Okay, not so suddenly.) The entire house needs to be revacuumed thoroughly, and that job is... yours! Wash all doorknobs. Don’t use a spray that will make them so slippery that you won’t be able to open it again. (On second thought, maybe it isn’t such a terrible idea, but do it only to doorknobs of rooms that you didn’t yet have a chance to clean.) Coverthefaucets,refrigerator handles and anything else your family covers with silver foil or storebought protectors. Next, cover and clean telephones so theyreallreadyforthegrandChol Hamoed discussions of “Where are we going today?”

Friday, March 30 EREV YOM TOV Empty and vacuum the chometz corner. Help with the last-minute erev yom tov laundry. Lend a hand with bathing the little ones, trimming their nails and occupying them. There are 220 things on your mother’s list today, to be precise. Anything you help with will lighten her load and give you a warm feeling that will last you all throughout yom tov.
The Grand Teen Clean contest is done, but I’m sure your help is not! There’s still gonna be the Seder table to set (luckily — hopefully! — after a Shabbos afternoon nap this year). And peeling and clearing lots of tables and washing lots and lots of dishes. And if you chip in happily, that will make you a winner all yom tov. Don’t forget to send in your completed charts by April 7, and look out for our lucky winners! It was a pleasure doing this with all of you!

Approximately 90% of Yidden use bechers without stems for Kiddush. There are those who are makpid to use specifically a stemmed becher l’kavod Shabbos, since it’s more regal.
THE RUZHINER BECHER The apple-shaped Ruzhiner becher has its roots in Mezritch.The4rstEppelBecher,as ( itisknown,belongedto the Maggid of Mezritch, and the Ruzhiner inherited it from his grandfather, the Maggid. The attributes of this apple-shaped goblet are Kabbalahbased. The Zohar suggests that the Kiddush cup is symbolized by a striped crimson-and-white rose that bears thirteen petals (alluding to the thirteen middos harachamim)andissupportedby4veleavesthatprotectit. • The curved stem is adorned with two leaves, so that the bechercanbeheldwithall4ve4ngersinthe - man ner described in the Zohar. • There are thirteen bletlach (petals) at the underside of the cup. • The base has three lobes. • The cover is surmounted by an eagle. The Ruzhiner’s children replicated the becher, and until today, the Ruzhiner dynasty, which includes Boyan, Kopycznitz,ChortkovandSadigura,allusetheseapple-shaped bechers. The Sadigura Rebbe, The Maggid’s original becher is said to be in the Sadigura court.
Reb Avrohom Yaakov Friedman, zt”l, the Baal Abir Yaakov, with the original Ruzhiner becher.
Why an apple shape? To allude to what we say in zemiros on Leil Shabbos: “lachakal tapuchin kaddishin — the orchard of holy apples,” which the Zohar says refers to Gan Eden. R’ Chaim Kanievsky, shlit”a, reciting Havdalah with a stemmed becher.
THE RIBNITZER’S BECHER This is actually on auction with a starting bid of $10,000 and expected to fetch between $20,000 and $25,000. The Ribnitzer was a talmid of a grandson of the Ruzhiner.

By: Shevy Hollander
THE VIZNITZER BECHER The becher used in Viznitz courts is very similar to the Ruzhiner becher, with some distinctions. • The Viznitzer becher has a taller cup. • It has a triangular-shaped base with squared points, as opposed to the round lobes of the Ruzhiner becher. • The Viznitzer becher has four leaves on its curved stem. • The original Viznitzer becher has a lion engraved on one side of a shield and another animal on the other; a design very similar to the “Rothschild” coat of arms — a symbol of strength and malchus,makingit4ttingforShabbos. In the year 5670, the Ahavas Yisroel of Viznitz stayed atthehomeofawealthyYidinChortkovone - Shab bos. His host gifted him with a becher he’d customordered for him, which was very similar to Ruzhin’s, since the Ahavas Yisroel was a Ruzhiner grandson. (The Tzemach Tzaddik of Viznitz was a son-in-law of the Ruzhiner.) The Ahavas Yisroel used the becher, and it was later passedontothemreiChaim.Eventually,allthose in the Viznitz dynasty replicated the becher, and it has remained the becher used in the Viznitz courts. The original becher is today at the Boro Park Viznitz Rebbe.
ACROSS THE CHASSIDISH LANDSCAPE In Sanz courts, silver bechers are not used for the arba kosos; only glass is used at the Seder. One reason is that, as the Gemara says, when wine sits in a silver kli for an extendedperiodoftime,theRavor is impacted, and during Maggid, the wine sits there for a while. Another taam is that the red wine is clearly visible through the glass. There are also those who say the reasons are Kabbalistic. In Bobov, though, silver has always been used, since they attributed Sanz’s use of glass versus silver to the fact that the Sanzer Rav’s silver was usually pawned to raise funds for tzedakah.
The Skvere becher
In Satmar, a glass becher is used at seudah shelishis. In Skver, the becher has a rim, or “crown,” to enable the Kiddush winetooverRowsmoothly. While most hold their becher from the bottom during Kiddush, in The Lubavitcher Rebbe’s Rachmastrivka the becher is held becher withone4ngerunderthe becher and the other four on the side, to satisfy both opinions, one that a becher should be held from the bottom, and another that it should be held from the side.
POPULAR FOR PESACH AT HERITAGE SILVER • The best-selling Kos Shel Eliyahu size is one that can hold a standard bottle of grape juice. • The biggest one can hold an entire case of grape juice! • Heritage silver custom-designed a Viznitz Kos Shel Eliyahu, of which they sold several this year. • Exclusive shiur bechers for the Seder sell by the dozens during the Pesach season. • For those who have a minhag not to drink from silver on Pesach, silver bechers with glass inserts are a hot item.
• NewfortheSeder:Wineglasseswithasilverbase,4ttedwithascrewsotheglassiseasilyreplacedifitbrea • Gold on bechers?NotrecommendedbyMr.Mendelowitz,sinceiteventuallycomesoThough . itsstylishnow, when it comes to silver, timelessness is the name of the game. • Royalty on the market: Bechers with matching trays that have little feet to raise the becherothetable.

Hello, Chaverim?… I
took a hike on Bear Mountains. It was supposed to be a two-hour trail, but it seems like I lost my way. I am trekking for five hours already and it doesn’t seem like I’m finding my way out. It’s getting dark and cold and I have no jacket or sweater to keep warm. I’m also running low on water.
“
THIS IS A TYPICAL CALL TO THE CHAVERIM OF ROCKLAND HOTLINE WHICH IS COVERED BY THEIR HIGHLY TRAINED SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAM.
“
Pesach 2021
A
bout sixteen years ago during the winter of 2005-06, the founder of Chaverim of Rockland – the first Chaverim unit in the world - realized that there is a void that must be filled. Calls kept on coming in to the Chaverim helpline from frantic community members reporting on lost hikers. Time and again the callers said that they were advised by law enforcement that Search and Rescue resources would be deployed after the hiker has been missing for 24 hours or more.
Since Rockland County is surrounded by tens of thousands of acres of mountainous terrain, with more than two hundred miles of hiking trails, it became ordinary for people to go out hiking. But without any hiking experience it is very easy for people to get disoriented and lose their trail. Furthermore, when a person is lost in a forest, even if contact is made via phone, there is no way to give the person directions, such as “walk straight and keep to the right”, because all surrounding areas look the same. People might be under the impression that they’re walking straight while they keep on going in circles.
Chaverim of Rockland
knew it’s time to act. They must be the pioneers once again and launch their own
Search & Rescue Team to answer those helpless calls. They must assemble a qualified team, trained to locate lost people and to rescue injured hikers or those in serious danger of injury in remote and forested areas.
An internal message was sent out to all Chaverim of Rockland volunteers. Anyone physically and emotionally fit for the rigorous work and continuous training of Wilderness Search and Rescue can join the special unit.
I
n order to fit the profile, the volunteers must be able to hike for many hours while dragging approximately forty pounds of gear in their backpack. Additionally, they must be ready to drop whatever they are doing and respond to the calls at a moments notice. Within a short period of time, a team of twentytwo qualified volunteers was assembled, all ready willing and able to launch the new team.
At the onset, the team received rigorous training from New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Forest Rangers as well as from the Rockland County Sheriff’s office. These training courses included search management, national incident command systems (ICS), map and compass search techniques, the use of global positioning system (GPS) units and basic first aid.
Those training courses were followed by a Wilderness Survival Training conducted by survivalist and founder of Rockland Chaverim, Reb Shaye Zev Erps. The training was conducted at a huge 140+ acre undeveloped terrestrial, where the team was taught crucial survival skills while operating in the wilderness. This included keeping warm, trekking on slippery and treacherous surfaces, as well as improvised navigational skills using the sun, the moon and the stars. Once the initial training was done, Chaverim purchased the most sophisticated SAR equipment and gear for the volunteers, and the team was all set and ready to roll. Once the team was in operation it didn’t take long for them to be put to work. Within the first couple of months the team started responding to Search and Rescue calls. Now – fifteen years later, with members of our community taking to the trails like never before, Search and Rescue operations have become ever more important. As a result, the Chaverim team has grown to more than forty members. Being part of the team is a tremendous commitment, firstly, due to the continuous training, which is held during the most inclement weather, as you never know under which circumstances the next call will come in. Secondly, since most of the calls come in when people are already desperate, such as Erev Shabbos and Erev Yom
Tov. There were many instances where the Chaverim team deployed right before Shabbos, on the night of Shemini Atzeres and Shevii Shel Pesach. These are times when everyone wants to be home with their families rather than hiking the woods with forty pounds of gear. Furthermore, an average Chaverim call takes five to ten minutes but an average Search and Rescue call can take four to five hours, and sometimes even more. Throughout the years, Chaverim Search and Rescue developed close working relationships with multiple law enforcement agencies who recognize their services, respect their expertise, and even count on them for mutual assistance.
ONE
dark and rainy night several months ago, at about 5:40 pm, a call came in to the Chaverim Hotline from a third party. The caller reported that he just got a call from his friend who went hiking at Kakiat Park but after several hours he couldn’t find his way out. The hiker managed to send his live location via WhatsApp but then his phone battery went dead, and all contact with him was lost.

The responding law enforcement personnel commended the courageous response of Chaverim as they selflessly braved the inclement weather and treacherous ground conditions.
finally, follow the famous rule to stay 7And put. Don’t go any further, even if it may seem like the woods are clearing up further down. Forests are deceiving.

Rabbi Juravel 3 CD; Kids in the Kitchen: Laws of Kashrus
Bringing You the Best in Jewish Literature.
Daas T
From Gedoilei Haposkim BSD It is well known that the traits of holiness and modesty are the hallmarks of the Jewish people, especially modesty in dress and conduct, which are among the fundamental principles of our holy Torah. However, to our great distress, the level of Tznius in our community has deteriorated lately, especially in regard to married women’s covering their heads with wigs. In these times, we all need abundant Heavenly mercy in all matters. Our Sages have taught us that so long as there is holiness and modesty, the Shechina is manifest in our community to protect and rescue us from all enemies and suffering ( מדרש רבה קדושים,:)סוטה ג. In our generation we urge you, just as in the past the Tzadikim and the leaders of previous generations would urge the Jewish people in times of trouble, to examine your deeds and to shore up the standards of Tznius and Kedusha. The holy Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Rimanov zt”l warned that wearing immodest clothing is what causes terrible sicknesses, r”l. In a well-known letter by the Ga’on, the Chofetz Chaim, zt”l dated Rosh Chodesh Tammuz, 5784, he states, “the suffering in our times, all of which comes because we distance Hakodosh Boruch Hu from ourselves by wearing immodest clothing... and therefore, it is each person’s duty to ensure that… members of his household do not conduct themselves immodestly.”
Now, since, due to our great sins, there has been a widening breach of Tznius, and married women have started going about in
wigs that look as if they are wearing their own natural hair, and as if they are bareheaded, chas vesholom,
including the wigs known as “lace front / lace tops” which are made so that it appears that the hair is growing from the head, etc.
we deem it our duty to make our holy Torah’s opinion known - that all of this is completely forbidden, without any Heter or leniency.

Mold On Exterior Of Home You may be wondering if you need to worry about mold on the exterior of home surfaces the way you do about mold found inside your home. After all, mold is common outdoors, and you can’t be expected to prevent mold spores from landing on the outside of your home, or to keep moisture off the exterior of your home. Exterior mold can damage your home and it does carry health risks, even if those health risks may be somewhat less than the risks associated with mold found inside the home.
