And it came to pass in the days before פסח,
that the people set forth to prepare for יום טוב. But behold, in some places, the shelves were half filled, the fleish was nowhere to be found, and the fish was not fit for the סדר. And there was great distress in the land, for the merchants claimed, “Surely, we have all that you seek,” yet when the people arrived, they found naught but a few lone boxes of machinevvvvv �מ�ה
מה נשתנה and a single tired potato. And the people cried out,
Why should this year be harder than all other years?” And then, the wise among them spoke, saying, “Let us go to Evergreen, for there the פסחtent is full, and all that we need can be found.” And they came and beheld wonders: fish as fresh as the sea, fleish in every cut and kind, and mountains of �מ�ה as far as the eye could see. The fruits and vegetables were abundant, the aisles orderly, and the store filled with all that one could need—be it for the humblest יום טובmeal or the grandest סדרnight. And those who could not bear the burden of shlepping the shopping called upon the
mighty Evergreen vans —twenty three in number—that sped forth, delivering all that was required with haste and care. Thus, the people shopped in peace, their carts full, their burdens lightened, and their hearts at ease. And
סדר when thevvvvvvarrived, their tables were set with abundance, their guests satisfied, and their spirits uplifted. And they said one to another,
“truly, this was the easiest פסחshopping yet.”
And so it was, and so it shall be, for those who know “There’s Just SOMETHING about Evergreen.”
ALWAYS CHEAPER. That’s It.

ZISSY KNOWS YOU DON'T WANT TO OVERPAY FOR YOUR NEW WIG. SO SHE FOUND A WAY TO KEEP THE PRICE LOW. Let’s be honest. Those salon markups are getting out of hand. Zissy sees it. You see it. Your wallet definitely sees it. That’s why she said, “Enough!” No more middlemen hiking up the fees. No more tariff-style price padding. Just factory-direct pricing, and up to $2,000 in savings per wig—without giving up an inch of quality or style. Because Zissy IG SALE W believes beautiful wigs should make you feel T EC good, not broke. And she wouldn’t want you WEDNESDAY IR spending more than you have to.

There’s something magical about absence, like when your favorite restaurant closes for a week. You don’t realize how much you miss it until you can’t smell the indulgent aromas. Suddenly, every other meal seems bland in comparison, and you start to daydream about all that is perfectly crispy, the cozy corner booth, and the way the chef’s special always tastes like it was made just for you. חג כשר ושמח

Because Motherhood Doesn’t Pause: A Pump Designed with Shabbos in Mind Zomee is created by moms for moms. It’s why we never stop thinking, how can we make moms’ lives simpler and motherhood even more meaningful. For this reason we created Shabbat Mode™— a thoughtfully designed, innovative feature that allows you to pump on Shabbos. The heart and soul of Zomee come from ina Shanowitz, our founder, whose personal journey inspired the brand’s creation. Oier a decade ago, ina was a new mother herself, facing the challenges of pumping while her frst baby spent seieral months in the NICU. The experience was oierwhelming, and she quickly realized that the pumps aiailable on the market were not designed with moms like her in mind. ina saw the design flaws in the most popular pumps and knew there had to be a better way. The inspiration for Zomee was personal, but it quickly grew into something much larger. ina’s second daughter was born just as she launched the Zomee pump, and the company has since flourished, growing into a trusted brand that moms rely on around the world. ina’s journey into motherhood and entrepreneurship was shaped by the incredible women around her, and her passion to reiolutionize nursing solutions has only grown stronger oier the years. Now, ten years and fie children later, ina and her team continue to grow Zomee, expanding into multiple countries and helping moms eierywhere. Zomee’s pumps are designed with hospital-grade strength, double expression capabilities, rechargeable batteries, and customizable settings to meet the needs of contemporary moms. This year, Zomee is proud to introduce a groundbreaking new feature to its pumps: Shabbat Mode™. The Zomee Z2 Shabbat Mode™ Edition is the frst pump that allows nursing mothers to balance their infant feeding needs with Halachic rules. This special mode allows automatic operation without manual intervention during Shabbos. Once activated, the pump follows pre-set intervals and durations. No operation is necessary.

As a Jewish woman and mother herself, Dina deeply understands the unique challenge many observant moms face when it comes to pumping during Shabbos. She saw a meaningful opportunity to support her community in a way no other pump had before. The creation of Shabbat Mode™ wasn’t just a technical advancement—it was personal.

Everything You Need to Know About Payroll: Insights from Industry Leaders By: Eitan Reiffman Payroll is one of the most critical functions of any business, yet it’s also one of the most challenging. From managing compliance to handling taxes and ensuring employees are paid correctly and on time—the complexity can often overwhelm even the most organized teams. But it doesn’t have to be this way. process, improve accuracy, and eliminate a lot of the stress that comes with it.
Whether you're a startup or an established company, you shouldn’t have to settle for a payroll system that’s outdated, overly complicated, or doesn’t meet the unique needs of your workforce. The good news? You have options that can streamline your payroll process, improve accuracy, and eliminate a lot of the stress that comes with it.
Here’s what you need to know to ensure your payroll practices are on par. 1. Automating Payroll: The Key to Efficiency One of the biggest pain points in payroll is the time-consuming process of manual data entry. Mistakes can easily happen when information is entered by hand, and the more time you spend on payroll, the less time you can focus on your core business. Automating your payroll process is a game-changer. With the right tools, you can automatically calculate pay, deduct taxes, and even track hours worked, significantly reducing the risk of errors. At Brand's Payroll, our fully integrated, automated system ensures that everything from pay calculations to tax filing happens smoothly, so your team can focus on what matters most. 2. Compliance Is Non-Negotiable Compliance with tax laws and employment regulations can be overwhelming, especially as your business grows. The penalties for non-compliance can be severe, and staying up to date with ever-changing rules is a constant challenge. Payroll processing software should not only calculate wages but also help you stay on top of tax deadlines, employee benefits, and other legal requirements. At Brand's, we ensure that you are always in compliance by integrating the latest laws and regulations into our systems, so you don’t have to worry about costly mistakes. 3.

Key Payroll Terms Explained Gross Pay vs. Net Pay: Gross Pay: The total earnings of an employee before any deductions (such as taxes, benefits, and retirement contributions). Net Pay: The amount the employee takes home after all deductions are made.
Wage Garnishments: Wage garnishments are court-ordered deductions from an employee’s paycheck. These may be related to child support, outstanding debts, or other legal obligations.
Benefits Administration: This refers to the management of employee benefits such as health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off. Ensuring compliance and proper enrollment is a critical part of payroll processing.
Payroll Tax Liabilities: Payroll taxes are deductions taken from an employee’s earnings to cover income taxes, Social Security, and Medicare contributions. Employers are also responsible for matching these contributions.
1099 vs. W-2 Employees: 1099 Employees: Independent contractors who are responsible for their own taxes and benefits. W-2 Employees: Employees for whom the employer withholds taxes, provides benefits, and offers legal protections.
Time & Attendance: Tracking employee work hours and attendance is an essential part of payroll. This includes overtime, paid time off (PTO), and sick leave, which all need to be accurately calculated.

Raindrop Therapy
Why Tomatis? The Tomatis® Method is an educational intervention designed to strengthen the connection between the ear, brain, and body through targeted neurosensory stimulation. Using specialized headphones equipped with Tomatis® technology and music rich in harmonics, the method retrains the brain and re-patterns the nervous system. Over time, this auditory stimulation enhances the ear’s three key functions. It is especially beneficial for children, teens, and adults facing challenges caused by poor communication between the ear and the brain—often identified as Auditory Processing Disorders (APD)—where the brain struggles to accurately process and interpret sensory input, affecting daily functioning.
It’s not tutoring. It’s not therapy. It’s foundational success!

EXTRA, EXTRA
(Re: Easy Sheets, Your Say, Issue 493) To the woman who shared her linen hack: If you read your letter carefully, you’ll see that your system is successful not because all of the kids’ rooms have matching linen; rather, it works because you have extra linen. Therefore, there is always spare linen available that matches the room you need it for. That works even if you don’t purchase uniform linen for all rooms. You can buy a different linen set for each room, but as long as you have a spare set of each, you’ll benefit from this trick. And I agree – it’s a great idea! For those who don’t want to spend the money on an entire extra set of linen, you can buy a couple of plain sheets for a low price. Typically, it’s the sheet that may need to be changed, so having a few extra sheets that match the set comes in very handy. Another Balebusta
DELIVERY MAN
(Re: Man of the House, Issue 493) I really enjoyed the stories about the different ways men contribute to Pesach cleaning and the household in general. When I was a brand new newlywed, just out of sheva brachos, my husband announced that I should write him a list and he would go to the grocery store and buy everything. I was taken by surprise, because in my parents’ house, my mother always did the grocery shopping; my father was not involved in it at all. But apparently, in his parents’ home, it was his father’s job. It was on the tip of my tongue to protest that it was my job, but an instant later my binah yeseirah kicked in, and I said nothing — just smiled sweetly and wrote him a list. We’ve been married for about 20 years now, and although my husband’s 8 4 5 . 3 5 7 . 6 9 0 0 • i n f o @ e v e r e s t e q u i t y. c o m • e v e r e s t e q u i t y. c o m 2 E X E C U T I V E B LV D , S U I T E 2 0 1 • S U F F E R N , N Y 1 0 9 0 1

HAPPY CLEANING
(Re: Chag Kosher — and Sameach, Inbox, Issue 492) Dear Mrs. Older and Wiser, Your letter should have been printed in bold on a full page! I’m younger and not yet so wise, but I know your way is right. It’s important for every woman to get hold of the little sefer called Guide to Cleaning for Pesach. It’s a gamechanger. Even if you choose to do something that’s not required for Pesach, at least you’ll be able to do it without stress and say l’kavod yom tov. And when doing whatever is necessary, you’ll also do it with simcha because you’ll have the right perspective and find the entire job totally doable. Wishing all of us a very happy Erev Yom Tov! Young, but Wise
YOU GAVE ME CONFIDENCE
(Re: Chag Kosher — and Sameach, Inbox, Issue 492) To the woman who wrote about the proper way to clean for Pesach and signed her letter “Older and Wiser”: Thank you so much for your wonderful letter. As a kimpeturin and mother of several young children, I really appreciate your validation of a halachic approach to Pesach cleaning. It’s a tremendous disservice to the public that we publish and normalize a spring-cleaning approach to Pesach. Your letter made me feel confident that I am functioning just fine, and I used all of your advice when preparing my bedrooms for Pesach. I wonder if you have advice for the rest of the house as well, and how to deal with feeding young children chometz as we get close to Pesach. Thank you so much for understanding what we need in today’s day and age. A Kimpeturin, Balebusta, and Yarei Shamayim
PESACH WITH PEACE
(Re: Chag Kosher — and Sameach, Inbox, Issue 492) I really appreciate the letter about making Pesach in an easier and much more focused way. To the letter writer: Your version was much easier and more doable than everything I see and hear around me. I really appreciate your way of thinking. It will make my Pesach much easier and less stressful, and will keep me focused only on getting rid of the chometz and not on organizing. You gave me the sense that it’s okay to do it this way. Thank you. A Reader

HOW DO YOU MAKE HOUSEHOLD CHORES EXCITING FOR YOUR KIDS? First, you need to make housework exciting for yourself. Then you can think of making it exciting for your kids.
Compliments go a long way.
This question brings two points to mind: The atmosphere of a Yiddishe home should be filled with simcha, but I don’t believe that chores and excitement have to go together. If it does, you’re lucky. And if not — welcome to life! Not everything we (or our children) do must be driven by incentives and rewards. We do what we’ve got to do. Mommy doesn’t have to cater to her kids 100 percent. She should give them the chores, and that’s it. It is up to each child to perform as she/he wishes. Stop spoon-feeding them. They can listen to music, race with a sibling, or talk on the phone while they work. Let them figure it out. Instill trust in them, and let them grow; they’ll do just fine.
I like to create a speed challenge for my children. When they race themselves, they gain motivation, and things get done faster.
I give my children full credit for their help so they feel very capable. For example, when my daughter makes her own bed, I gush over how clean her room looks. Then she hurries to make her sister’s bed, too. Also, when a child helps peel a vegetable or two, I announce, “Everyone come taste Esty’s soup/compote! Esty made it!” This motivates them to help out even more.
Allow a child to do their work past their bedtime; that’s the best motivation. The Monsey View
Have your teens work in sneakers with music on in the background. It will get their energy pumping and make them feel like dancing. Of course, offer breaks with milchig chocolate and coffee.
I give my children an allowance each month that they do their Shabbos chores nicely. I don’t remind them about it; it’s entirely their own responsibility. The younger children get to pick a treat every Shabbos if they completed their chores.
To make helping Mommy more exciting, I hide some dollar bills in the area that I designate for a child to clean, and the rule is “finders, keepers.”

I used to try making chores exciting for my preteens and teens, to no avail. Contests, races, music and incentives were all nice, but nothing was the magic bullet that made them eager to help out. Eventually, I came to terms with the fact that it didn’t have to be exciting, and they had to help me anyway. On Friday morning, before my all-girls crew wakes up, I write up a detailed list of things that need to get done for Shabbos. When they wake up, they each write their initials near three or four jobs (or more, depending on the needs of the day) and are responsible to see these things to completion. When they’re done, they cross the items off the list and are pretty much free for the rest of the day (until one hour before Shabbos, when I give out another list of last-minute chores).
My little helpers (ages 5–10) love writing a list of their “accomplishments” they do throughout Friday, usually on my big whiteboard in the kitchen. I allow them to write down any tiny thing they did to help me, including carrying something from the kitchen to the dining room table. They’re so proud to see the jobs accumulating and are also motivated by competition. After licht bentschen, I reward all of my helpers with a Shabbos treat.
I try to keep helping at home exciting and fun by constantly improvising and creating little games. For example, for every job completed, a child can choose letters for a hangman that will spell out who the Shabbos guests will be. Another thing my kids love is the classic paper “fortune teller,” one that involves tasks and mini rewards. Yet another is “blueprint,” a game in which I draw a blueprint of our house on a paper and write the various tasks that need to be done into each room, e.g., iron, fold laundry, clear dining room table, make salad, peel potatoes, Windex mirrors and windows etc. into the corresponding room. Each child needs to select one item from each room and mark their initials in the room when done. It’s incredible how creating these little games, switched up on a weekly basis for interest, really is all we need to keep housework and helping Mommy light and fun.

Remembering Yetzias Mitzrayim
Y. Levenstein
We are given many mitzvos as a zecher to Yetzias Mitzrayim, including the mitzvah of Krias Shema, in which we are obligated twice daily, at Shacharis and Maariv. Rav Shlomo Brevda once said, in his inimitable way, “Really? Am I such a fool? Do I forget what I said in the morning by the time evening arrives, and what I’ve said in the evening until morning? Have I forgotten the Yetzias Mitzrayim mentioned in Krias Shema of Maariv on Friday night by the time I come home to say Kiddush, at which I must once again remember Yetzias Mitzrayim?” Why must we repeat our remembrance of Yetzias Mitzrayim on a steady basis, over and over again?
SHE WAS YOUNG, about 50 years old, when her lungs began to fail. Things went from bad to worse, and Mrs. K. soon found herself connected to machines to enable her to breathe. When even that wasn’t effective enough, the doctors put her on the waiting list for a lung transplant. One morning, the call finally arrived. A non-Jewish girl, about twenty years old, had been killed in an accident. The medical teams who arrived at the site found her in a condition where her lungs were still functioning. Mrs. K. was called down for emergency transplant surgery. An ambulance arrived and took Mrs. K., along with her daughter, to the hospital. During the ride, Mrs. K. couldn’t help but express her emotions. “On the one hand, I’m on my way to get new lungs, so I can start to breathe again. But at the same time, there’s a family out there who is crying and mourning over their daughter in whose merit I will soon live.” It was a strange feeling. The transplant was successful. After a prolonged recovery and rehabilitation process, Mrs. K. was finally discharged to her home — breathing on her own, b’chasdei Hashem! 242

She decided to pen a letter to the parents of her deceased donor. “You buried your daughter,” she wrote. “She was just about the same age as my daughter, young and with a whole life ahead of her. Remember one thing: Her lungs were not buried along with her. They are continuing to function, and they are giving me life. Every day, with every breath I take, I remember your daughter and the favor you’ve done for me. You gave me life!” As she folded her letter, Mrs. K. made a comment that applies to each and every one of us. “The way I feel toward that young girl is the way we should feel toward the Ribbono Shel Olam. He enables us to breathe every second of our lives! At any time, a person can, chas v’shalom, stop breathing. The fact that we continue to breathe is purely a gift from our Creator, every moment anew. Al kol neshimah u’neshimah tehallel Kah!” * * * * *
It was this time of year, five years ago: the unforgettable COVID-19 era. The hospital was in a state of chaos, with patients arriving at a pace faster than the staff could handle. When Mr. B. was admitted with difficulty breathing, his prognosis was grim. COVID-19. Before long, he was hooked up to a respirator. Several depressing hours passed, with no visitors and no connection to the outside world. But the sun was shining for Mr. B., and his condition soon improved. After 24 hours, he was taken off the respirator, and finally, after five days in the hospital, Mr. B. was discharged to continue his recovery at home. A few weeks later, Mr. B. received an envelope from the hospital. It was a bill. He was being charged $5,000 for the respirator services he received in the ICU on that first day in the hospital. Mr. B. reread the paper again and again, and burst into uncontrollable sobs. His son took a peek, and when he saw the statement, tried to calm down his father, who could well afford the charges. “It’s okay,” he said. “We can pay the bill. We’re so lucky you are alive and well!”

He was being charged $5,000 for the respirator services he received in the ICU on that first day in the hospital. Mr. B. reread the paper again and again, and burst into uncontrollable sobs Mr. B. replied, “My problem isn’t the money. I can pay it. It’s something else…” He inhaled deeply. “I’m an old man. For 93 years, I received oxygen from Hakadosh Baruch Hu. Every single day, I breathed by His force. If one day of breathing is worth $5,000, how much must I pay Hakadosh Baruch Hu for 365 days times 93?! That amount, I truly don’t have. “But the truth is, Hashem doesn’t ask it of us. He gives us oxygen free of charge, without us needing to worry how to pay Him for it. What do we need to give back? At the very least, we must return the favor by saying and living by the belief of ‘Kol zman she’haneshamah b’kirbi, modeh ani lefanecha!’”

Sometimes, we tend to believe that hakaras hatov is a natural middah that everyone has. What could be more natural and simple than thanking those who do us a favor? But this belief is incorrect. Not only is hakaras hatov not automatic, but the opposite is actually true. It’s hard for a person to feel indebted. The feeling of being beholden to another is uncomfortable. The Chovos Halevavos writes that for this reason, we must contemplate the middah of hakaras hatov all the time. Moreover, all of our avodas Hashem is based on the premise of gratitude. A Yid must recognize that the Ribbono Shel Olam keeps us alive on a minute-by-minute basis. He consistently, every moment, gives us the ability to see, hear, speak and function. We should feel hugely indebted to Him. It may seem natural that we can walk and talk, but in truth, it is a gift from Hashem every single moment. In Mitzrayim, Bnei Yisroel weren’t very different from the Egyptians, so much so that there was a kitrug against them: What is the difference between Jew and non-Jew? Why did the Yidden merit miracles, while the Egyptians received the opposite? Still, Hakadosh Baruch Hu served His revenge to the Egyptians for the evil they did to us. He hit them and took us out to be His nation. How much hakaras hatov must we have for this! This is one of the reasons the Torah commands us to constantly remember the day we left Mitzrayim — every single morning and evening. We must never forget how much hakaras hatov we owe Hakadosh Baruch Hu for lifting each and every one of us, like an only child, taking us out of the land of tumah and bringing us to Eretz Yisroel with the Torah Hakedosha. Adapted from the teachings of Rav Yechiel Zucker, shlit”a.

A REVOLUTION IS COMING:
Klal Yisroel has struggled with skyrocketing costs of weddings for decades! Salvation shines brightly on the horizon with the historic “Motzoh Tov” breakthrough!
FROM JOY TO PAIN
It’s no secret that weddings have been transformed from a time of joy and celebration to a period of worry and angst. Even parents with a high income, who can comfortably cover their living expenses, wonder, “How am I supposed to marry off my child? I don’t have an extra $100K sitting around.” These are the painful thoughts that run through people’s minds as they approach the joyful time of making a wedding. Of the dozens of shidduchim announced every day, 85% of the parents don’t earn nearly enough to be able to marry off their children without going into debt.
SKYROCKETING STANDARDS The standard for weddings in our community has ballooned to the extreme. Average people make their weddings in a way that only wealthy people made in the past. Expenses that only rich people took on became the standard for everyone. “It must be done… My mechutan wants us to do it… I can’t disappoint my kallah, and she can’t be different from all her friends… I can’t buy the chassan an old-fashioned shtreimel, and I can’t dress my children ‘nebby.’” Everyone does this… everyone does that… and we’re all equally in trouble. The churban is terrible, unbearable, and unsustainable. Most weddings in Klal Yisroel are covered with debt or by fundraising for the ba’alei simcha—all because we feel the need to be “balebatish.” It’s an extremely sad reality, and would be funny if it weren’t so serious. Everyone says that something must be done, that things can’t continue this way—but no one wants to be different than the next person, and so things remain static and tragic.
LOST CAUSE? Thus, the most joyful days of our lives have become dreaded—and most people are too afraid to even think about it. Many in our community have given up, understandably feeling that this is a lost cause. We can’t change the world. Many have tried to remedy the issue in the past, with little to no success. The world cannot be changed. This is the way it will remain forever. But a mazel tov is in order—to each and every member in Klal Yisroel! A revolution is coming. A massive and historic breakthrough is on its way. Beginning in Monsey—whose residents will join together to change the wedding landscape forever—this revolution will spread to every corner of the globe, changing the wedding standards for Klal Yisroel for good. Mazel Tov!
MOTZOH TOV $6 MILLION SAVED! This is not a dream or a plan. It’s a reality that is already having far-reaching consequences. More than 130 weddings were already held in keeping with the Motzoh Tov standards. More than 200 families saved the combined sum of an astounding $6 million—in the last 12 months alone! So, what is Motzoh Tov? It is a historic initiative which is the outgrowth of cooperation from askonim and philanthropists from a number of kehillos who are pained by the reality of wedding costs. The express mission of the organization is to do everything possible to solve this crisis once and for all—bringing back the complete joy that should be the hallmark of our weddings.
PEER PRESSURE The askonim behind this organization have studied the history of past initiatives that have been tried in different kehillos, and they’re aware of the successes as well as the failures. They are learning

this rut solely due to peer pressure. Picture the person you’re embarrassed of and imagine if he’d look up to you for your courage—and even seek to emulate you. Together, we will change the styles and standards of weddings—and the attitudes of those who make them. It will soon become the style to save money when making weddings! People will compete in how much money they can save—not in how many singers they had at the wedding.
THE “TACHLIS” PLAN
This is a plan that will be put forth containing 2. a precise list of the standards that are necesfrom the mistakes, and they’re drawing upon the success sto- sary for every wedding—provisions that are necessary for every-
ries of kehillos who have managed to bring down wedding costs. One of the chief causes for failure is the phenomenon of peer pressure. The kehillos where everyone is on board—the mechutanim, the chosson and kallah, and their classmates and friends— experience much greater success in implementing lower standards. Motzoh Tov aims to replicate this phenomenon by getting the entire Monsey community on board at the same time. All kehillos have been mobilized. All of Monsey’s rabbonim have attended a historic meeting where they proclaimed that with the power of many, this initiative will succeed in saving Monsey residents tens of millions of dollars every year. To this end, Motzoh Tov has undertaken a multi-pronged approach to solving this crisis for the future:
OPENING OUR EYES
A massive marketing campaign is already underway to 1. help our community open their eyes to the fact that they have no one to be ashamed of—because the people they’re embarrassed of agree that this change must be made. Deep inside, everyone wishes to see this change. No sane person wants to spend an extra $50,000 that they don’t have. They’re stuck in
one to purchase when making a wedding. Parents will know in advance what they can expect to spend on any given expense, and thus won’t get dragged into emotional purchases that they can’t afford. This plan contains a very clear framework, and indicates five main areas where the most money gets wasted. This assists families in sticking to a budget throughout the wedding process.
FAR FROM FINISHED Motzoh Tov was founded less than a year ago, and in this short time it has managed to accomplish what was previously thought to be impossible. But the organization is far from finished. There are many more plans in the works that will be publicized in the coming months. As you read these lines, askonim are hard at work ironing out details of these plans which will greatly lower wedding costs for Klal Yisroel. Superhuman effort is being invested in changing attitudes. It should become fashionable to save money when marrying off a child, not to spend more. People shouldn’t feel ashamed to make their weddings on a less expensive standard, but proud.
THE HARMONY SHOWROOM This crown jewel of Motzoh Tov’s initiative is a massive and magnificent wedding showroom in the center of Monsey which enables parents to purchase wedding provisions at stunningly low prices. It offers jewelry, silverware, all gifts for the chassan and kallah, furniture, home goods, talleisim and beitlech, shtreimels and much more. All inventory is in large quantities, enabling Motzoh Tov and Harmony to sell them at below wholesale prices. Motzoh Tov makes no profit from the showroom, and only asks for a modest fee to help cover the cost of running the showroom—saving mechutanim tens of thousands of dollars for every wedding!

A HISTORIC GATHERING In the very near future, a historic gathering will take place for all Monsey residents to come together and take back the joy. The massive convention will take Monsey by storm, and bring waves of relief to its residents. The thousands of participants will hear and understand the details of this important and historic breakthrough, and proclaim their readiness to change the reality. United as one, thousands of Monsey residents will commit to finally enabling their friends and neighbors to walk their children to the chuppah with ease and peace of mind. The first main gathering will be followed up by separate gatherings for girls in the age of shidduchim, for mothers, and for shidduch-aged bochurim. Many kehillos will hold gatherings of their own at which respective communities will be able to modify standards according to what is appropriate for them. The common denominator will be a savings of tens of thousands of dollars per wedding.
ALL EYES ON MONSEY All kehillos in Monsey have enthusiastically joined this historic initiative. Every kehillah has invited askanim to introduce the plans to their members—and the hopes of all of Monsey are pinned on the success of this historic breakthrough. All of Klal Yisroel is watching Monsey— the pioneer in this important revolution. Yidden from throughout the world are waiting with hope for the time that these standards will become the norm, and emulated in Jewish communities throughout the world. Very soon, these will go from Motzoh Tov standards to Klal Yisroel’s standards.

Local Car Wash Facing Potential Fines for Pesach Price Gouging One week after Attorney General Letitia James asked New York State residents to report price gouging to her office, a Spring Valley car wash found itself in hot water for overcharging Jewish customers who brought their vehicles in for cleaning over the past four years. James’ office began receiving complaints last April that the Super 4 Seasons car wash on Route 59 was charging Jewish customers $169.99 for a thorough car cleaning as part of its “Passover Holiday Special.” The promotion was more than triple the price of a regular car cleaning, while offering essentially the same service. Visibly Jewish customers were told that no other cleaning services were available at that time, while customers who did not appear to be Jewish were offered lowercost cleaning packages. Located at the Shell gas station, Super 4 Seasons has been offering Pesach car cleaning specials since 2018, with complaints starting to roll in at the attorney general’s office three years later. With 251 Pesach car cleanings performed between 2022 through 2024 at a total cost of more than $35,500, Super 4 Seasons could potentially be facing a $500 statutory fine per service performed for its discriminatory practice. As a result of the attorney general’s investigation, Super 4 Seasons has agreed not to change its offerings or pricing from 60 days before Pesach until after Yom Tov, to discontinue any discriminatory practices, and to avoid using any verbiage in its advertising that links its services to religious holidays. Should Super 4 Seasons fail to adhere to those conditions at any time over the next three years, it would be forced to pay a $75,000 penalty.
“Targeting Jewish New Yorkers with deceptive pricing around Passover is a clear act of religious discrimination and will not be tolerated,” said James. “Every New Yorker, regardless of their faith, deserves to be treated fairly and equally. My office will not hesitate to hold businesses accountable when they exploit families’ religious observance.”
New Chesed 24/7 Hospitality Room Opens at Good Sam Multiple elected officials, community leaders and members of law enforcement flocked to Good Samaritan Hospital on April 2 to take part in the official ribbon-cutting ceremony for Chesed 24/7’s new hospitality room. Town of Ramapo Supervisor Michael Specht and Rockland County Executive Ed Day were among the dozens of people who turned out for the ribbon-cutting. The event also honored Rockland County Health Commissioner Dr. Mary Leahy, who worked hand in hand with Chesed 24/7 during her tenure as the hospital’s chief executive officer. While hospitality arrangements have been in place at Good Samaritan for more than 20 years, they have been located across the street from the medical center, while the new chesed room is located on the hospital’s first floor, past the security desk. Chesed 24/7 credited Mona Montal, Specht’s chief of staff, for the key role she played in launching the new hospitality room, which is opening for Pesach. In addition to being more spacious, the on-site hospitality suite has a seating area and a bathroom, and is fully stocked with two microwaves, refrigerators and a full array of Pesach items including Haggadahs and ke’aras. As always, a refrigerator in Good Samaritan’s Emergency Room will be stocked with kosher items. In addition to ensuring that chesed rooms in area hospital rooms have full refrigerators and pantries for Pesach, Chesed 24/7 also packed up 400 bags of kosher l’Pesach food that Hatzalah members will give to patients that are transported to tri-state area hospitals over Yom Tov.
Egg Prices Continue To Fall It’s been good news for shoppers as they stock their carts for Pesach, with the price of eggs finally dropping significantly in the last few weeks. But whether the Trump administration can truly take credit for the reprieve isn’t exactly clear. According to Yahoo! Finance, Trump credited Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins for 266

the lower prices during an April 2 speech given at the White House Rose Garden on tariffs. “They were going through the sky, the egg prices,” Trump said to Rollins, who was sitting in the audience during the presidential address. “They were going through the sky, and you did a fantastic job.” As previously reported in The Monsey View, Rollins had outlined a multi-point plan in early March to deal with the rising cost of eggs, which included importing eggs from other countries, as well as taking steps to prevent widespread epidemics of bird flu, the cause of the massive price spike. The United States has been importing eggs from South Korea and Turkey, and Polish and Lithuanian officials said that Washington had contacted them about the matter as well. Rollins said that plans were in place to import hundreds of millions of eggs for the short term, until the domestic egg supply could be re-established. The United States Department of Agriculture reported that the wholesale cost of white eggs has decreased approximately 56% since the beginning of March and was holding steady at $3 per dozen. But according to David Anderson, professor of agricultural economics at Texas A&M University, it is consumers, and not Washington officials, who are responsible for the new pricing, with people cutting back on their egg purchases and the decreased demand translating into lower prices. It is unclear at this time if the price of imported eggs would be impacted by Trump’s newly announced tariffs. As of this writing, South Korean imports will be facing 26% tariffs, while those from Turkey will be subject to 10% tariffs.
Will Cost-Cutting Changes at USPS Affect Your Mail Delivery? Changes are afoot at the United States Postal Service, which is hoping to save $36 billion over the next ten years through a variety of cost-cutting measures. But exactly what those changes are, and how service will be impacted, is vague, with the agency’s explanation of its service changes doing little to shed light on the matter. The first of two slated rounds of changes began on April 268

1, just weeks after U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy signed an agreement with Elon Musk’s DOGE government reform team, reported Reuters. With electronic communication becoming increasingly popular, the USPS lost a whopping $9.5 billion last year and has said it will eliminate 10,000 workers over the next month through an early retirement plan. The postal system is refining its standards for first-class mail, periodicals, marketing mail, package service, USPS Ground Advantage, Priority Mail and Priority Mail Express. According to the agency, some postal users will see faster service, others will see no changes at all, and a small percentage of residents will see their mail service slowing down. As in the past, postal customers can expect their mail to be delivered to their intended recipients within one to five days, with the agency promising even more reliable service than before. With 75% of customers not being affected, and 14% actually experiencing faster delivery times, USPS is confident that the move is a positive one, with a second round of changes scheduled for July. Meanwhile, postal users can utilize an interactive map on the postal service’s website, www.usps.com, to get a better idea of their mail’s estimated turnaround time under the new system.
Gas and Electric Bills Go Up, As O&R New Rate Hike Kicks In Orange and Rockland customers will be digging deeper into their pockets to pay for gas and electricity after a rate hike went into effect last week, with two more increases already approved for 2026 and 2027. Residential electric rates went up 4.6%, with 3.3% and 3.5% increases coming over the next two years. Gas bills rose for residential customers as well, with jumps of 10.9%, 3.5% and 3.8% going into effect on the same schedule. Orange and Rockland is a subsidiary of Con-Edison, and its customers bear the dubious distinction of paying some of the highest gas and electric bills in the United States. According to O&R, the increases will allow for a continued focus on developing clean and resilient energy projects, the creation of more storm-hardening programs, and provide for energy affordability programs that give millions in discounts to low-income customers. Rockland, Orange and Westchester officials have all protested the increase, with some working on legislation that would make it more difficult for the New York State Public Service Commission to approve rate hikes. “The Commission continues to exercise little more than a wrist-slap for greedy utility companies,” said Senator James Skoufis, who chairs the Senate’s Investigations and Government Operations committee. “At the same time that O&R is crying poverty to the PSC, they’re reporting corporate returns of 7 to 10%.”

Her brain hurt from concentrating. “Hi,” Robyn called from the pool. Roiza couldn’t answer. She needed to concentrate on walking. “I know I’m dating myself,” Roiza told Robyn when she finally reached the pool ramp, “but I still remember when Gerald Ford was president, and he was being shamed as a man who couldn’t walk and chew gum at the same time.” Robyn nodded. “That’s what I feel like,” Roiza said simply. Robyn carefully guided her into the pool. “Yes, that’s Parkinson’s,” she said. “But you’re doing wonderfully. Look at you! Walking with only a cane, and so nice and straight.” Roiza snorted. “It takes more concentration than running a country! That’s without chewing gum.” Robyn chuckled. “Come on, let’s get your body into shape.” “I am in shape. Bent over like that, I’m just about a right angle.” This time, Robyn actually giggled. Roiza laughed along and allowed her body to lift in the water.

“Ma,” Kaily called, “you’re sure you don’t need those goggles anymore?” “I’m sure,” she answered shortly. All she wanted was to enjoy the one minute of pleasure she experienced when the water finally soothed her aching body. “She thinks she needs to babysit me,” she grumbled to Robyn. “She’s so devoted,” Robyn said. “You should appreciate her. Look where all this therapy got you in such a short time. I see plenty of women with a fractured hip never stand straight again.” But she very much didn’t appreciate it when, a minute later, Kaily was standing at the edge of the pool with those dreaded goggles. “Ma, please put them on. I’m worried about your eyes. You know what could happen if you’re not careful.” She knew. She knew all about the floating spots that could appear, the retinal detachment that could chas v’shalom occur. She also knew she was way past the window of that happening. She looked at her daughter. Kaily’s mouth was set in a grim line. “All right,” she said resignedly. Tonight. Tonight would be the perfect night to call that Newman guy. She barely remembered what Kaily looked like with a smile. * * * * *

But more than that, she loved how far the bakery was located. “Kaily… therapy was just so hard today,” she kvetched. Kaily’s eyes narrowed sympathetically. “You want to make it an early night?” “No. I want a Napoleon.” Kaily thought she was crazy. “How can I get you a Napoleon now? I promised never to leave you alone. I’m terrified!” “I promise not to get up from my chair. Please. I’m desperate.” For some privacy. The minute Kaily left, Roiza dialed Newman. “Mr. Newman,” Roiza said as soon as his voice came onto the line. At least he was home after all this effort. “How are you?” “Baruch Hashem!” he answered. A real yarei Shamayim. “Uh, who am I speaking to?” “Mrs. Handler. Roiza Handler. I called you the other day. I’m from Solar King, remember? Sun from my son?” He chuckled. The same warm laughter. That’s the most important thing. She thought of Kaily’s grim smile. “So would you like to hear more about this?” “Sure,” he said patiently. “So where exactly are you located? And what time of the day does your house get sunlight?” “My address is 230 Suffolk Avenue in Staten Island. I usually have sunlight in the morning in the front of my house, and then it moves to the side of the house.” Staten Island. Lead one. “Are you planning to stay there? Do you ever consider moving?” Newman paused, probably surprised at this line of questioning.
“Why would I move? I own my house. I work close by. My kids live here, too.” He has kids. Roiza tried picturing Kaily living in Staten Island. She came up blank. But then again, it was a small thing to give up for happiness. “Okay. Because solar is an investment. So I was wondering if it would be worth it for you,” she ad-libbed. He must think she was a total idiot. Oh well, all sons-in-law think that about their shvigger. “It’s an investment, but you pay it back in no time. Your utility bills will be slashed, and you’ll be using power from the best source.” “You’re very convincing,” he said. “So I’ll have my son call you. What’s your name?” “Mordechai. Mordechai Newman.” She called Yiddy breathlessly. “His name is Mordechai Newman. He lives in Staten Island on the sunny side of the street. He’ll be perfect for Kaily. And he wants to switch to solar energy.” “Whoa! Slow down, Ma. Who, what, when, where and why?” “Quick. Kaily will be here in a few minutes. Who? Mordechai Newman. What? He wants to talk to you about solar panels. When? Preferably tomorrow. Where? For all I care, it can be in the Empire State Building. Why? Because Kaily has to get married.” Yiddy laughed. “Oh! Now I get it.” “Seriously, Yiddy. I found the perfect man for Kaily. But I need your help. Can you promise to meet him and find out every last detail about his life?” “I hear, Ma. Let me see. I told you that you get a commission for every sale, right?” She’d forgotten! Really, what did she need the money for? Kaily took care of everything she needed. And it was time to take care of her.

Her eyes glazed, imagining the gorgeous necklace she would buy Kaily with the commission money. If Kaily was getting engaged and marrying off Sruly, she deserved something nicer than the gold-plated junk she wore every day. Tomorrow, she would ramp up those phone calls. Regardless of the mind-numbing monotony of it. “Ma, I’ll call him,” Yiddy finally said. “Just because of kibbud eim.” “Thanks.” She heard a car door slam. “Kaily is here. Bye.” The door opened. “Ma! Are you okay?” She ran up the stairs balancing a tray of cake. “I was so scared the entire time. I hate leaving you alone.” “I know. Thank you so much!” Kaily peeled off her coat and brought two plates to Roiza’s little desk. “You got any work done?” she asked. “You bet!” Roiza smiled. “I think I even made a sale.” Kaily gave a patronizing smile that said, See? I told you all Ma needs is a job. Roiza, still smiling, let it pass and dug into her cake. * * * * *
The housing crisis was not exaggerated. Nine-thirty Monday morning, half an hour after the local circular landed in people’s inboxes, Kaily’s phone started vibrating and didn’t stop. By ten o’clock she had five people who wanted to take a look at the apartment today. One caller hinted that he’d pay whatever price she asked because the location was exactly what he was looking for. She didn’t even know if she had an apartment to rent. Or what the market price was for a small threebedroom. It wasn’t her house; it was her mother’s house. The fact that
she’d lived rent-free all these years didn’t make it hers. In fact, it made it less hers. She told the callers that she’d be in touch with them. She hoped they heard her over the constant sound of incoming calls. After the fifth caller, she turned off her phone. As soon as her mother was settled with a list of phone numbers at the little desk Yiddy had brought, Kaily slipped downstairs, leaving the connecting door open. She looked around the apartment, at the pictures of Chaim’s kids and Gedalya’s baby adorning the walls, at the pretty couch her father had gifted her one Yom Tov. The peeled paint. All of it. Mira’s invitation hung on her fridge along with a bunch of thank you notes from her Sisters OTG girls. What would others see in her apartment? The beauty? The ugliness? Would they know this was a fatherless house? She didn’t consider herself a hoarder. She never had the luxury to hoard in a small three-bedroom, but still, there were so many things in this apartment. How would she move all this upstairs? How would she go through every inch of space and clear it? She opened the hall closet and recklessly started dumping things… so many things… onto the beds in the spare bedroom. Her old sewing machine, vacuum cleaner bags, buttons, rolls of ribbon, old toys she kept for Gedalya’s kids. Pieces of her life, fragmented items that held years and years of memories. She couldn’t do this. It wasn’t humanly possible to pack up a house in under a week if she wanted to earn December rent. Compulsively, she dropped a handful of empty shoeboxes and went to check her bank

Maybe she didn’t really have to do it? She did. Urgently. After paying for the furniture, her account was dismally close to a three digit number. She suddenly felt so overwhelmed, she wanted to cry. Maybe her brothers wouldn’t agree with this idea, and she could just discard the whole plan. Maybe they would realize how ridiculous this was, and they would come up with a different idea! But her brothers agreed. Quickly. Eli was thrilled with the idea, throwing in how much he wanted to help her with the wedding, and this was the perfect solution. “I wish I could pay your entire share of the wedding. But I can’t.” His pity made her gag. Yiddy even more so. “Tatty always told me to help you. This is my way of helping. Technically, we’re the yorshim, so it’s our house, you know. And, besides, you should live upstairs anyway to help Mommy.” The house belonged to Mommy. And after that, equally to all of them. Eli and Shalom were both older than him. She even called Shalom as a last resort. He heaped brachos upon her and promised to come to the wedding. She was out of excuses. Her bed beckoned. When was the last time she had the luxury of sleeping in her own bed? Not since her mother came home from the rehab. But she could escape there now, just for a short time. A short time where she wouldn’t think about telling her mother or her kids about this move. She wouldn’t actually sleep. She would just close her eyes… “Kaily!” she heard someone shout. She woke with a start. “Perela?” What was her sister 284

doing in her bedroom? What was she doing in her bedroom? “You’re okay! Baruch Hashem!” “What happened? Oh my! I can’t believe I actually fell asleep!” Mommy! “Did something happen to Mommy?” she whispered. “No! Yes! She was just hysterical! She said the timer rang and she had to take the medication at eleven, but you weren’t coming! She didn’t know where you disappeared to, and you weren’t answering your phone!” Perela was breathless from running or talking or panicking. Probably all three. Her phone! She’d shut it to stop all those phone calls about the apartment. “Hey! Aren’t you supposed to be on a plane now?” Kaily’s groggy brain finally caught up. Perela’s eyes shadowed. “Something came up on my boss’s end. She had to push it off. We’re leaving in two weeks.” “Aha,” Kaily said. She was too distraught to dig deeper, so she let it pass. “Who else did Mommy alert?” she asked instead. “What’s the difference? At least you’re safe.” Kaily followed her sister in a daze. “I’m running back to work,” Perela said. Kaily nodded. “Thanks. Sorry.” She was grateful and sorry and humiliated. She carefully closed the door to her apartment. To her, the gentle click was louder than an explosion. She was keenly aware of closing a door to yet another piece of her life. And, no, there was no miraculous window of opportunity opening for her. TO BE CONTINUE D…

April 9, 2025
www.themonseyview.com · 845.600.8484
VIETNAMESE COFFEE The ultimate Pesach solution for pareve coffee. Move aside coffee whiteners and pareve milks; this Vietnamese coffee is better than anything you’ve ever experienced. INGREDIENTS 4
eggs
1
cup oil
½
cup sugar
D IR EC T I O N S 1.
Place the eggs in a food processor. With the motor running, add the oil in a steady, slow stream. Mix for a couple minutes.
2.
Add the sugar and mix for two more minutes.
3.
Pour the mixture into a container and freeze.
4.
Once frozen, place a scoop into a cup of coffee with hot water, and swirl to dissolve.
CINNAMON BUNS A delightful treat made with wholesome ingredients. These don’t taste quite like cinnamon buns made of wheat flour, but they are delicious in their own right. Delightful when served warm. INGREDIENTS
D IR EC T I O N S
¼
cup Bakol coconut oil
1.
Preheat the oven to 350°.
2
T. honey
2.
2
eggs at room temperature
3
cups Goldbaum’s almond flour
In a large bowl, gently beat the coconut oil, honey and eggs. Add the almond flour and salt, and mix until a smooth dough has formed.
3.
½
tsp. salt
Scoop dough up into a ball, and let it rest in the fridge for 10 minutes. This will make it easier to work with.
4.
Lightly grease the outside of the ball of dough. Using a rolling pin (I used a bottle of seltzer as a makeshift Pesach rolling pin), roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a large rectangle.
5.
Drizzle the honey evenly over the dough. Then, carefully spread it around to cover the whole surface.
6.
Sprinkle the ground pecans and cinnamon over the surface of the dough.
7.
Starting at the end, begin to roll the edge of the dough away from you. Continue rolling until you have a uniform log. Cut the roll into ¾-inch slices. Shape them a bit if needed.
8.
Lay the rolls onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
9.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
FILLING ⅓

When Pharaoh returned to his palace after being confronted by Moshe and Aharon at the riverside, heralding the makkah of Dam, he was dismayed to discover that he himself would not get away scot-free. How horrified he was to find blood dripping down the walls of his magnificent palace! This blood was reminiscent of the blood that flowed freely from Yidden who were hit and wounded while building the pyramids, which got mixed into the bricks and cement. Now Pharoah’s walls dripped blood in retribution for those blood-soaked walls. יז–כא:מדה”ג ז
GIVE BLOOD: GIVE LIFE C . G .

H O F F M A N
hen Jay Feinberg was sick with leukemia as a young law school student, his doctors were brutally blunt. They said a bone marrow transplant could save his life, but since he was an Ashkenazi Jew, he was unlikely to find a match since Jews were largely underrepresented in national registries. Ashkenazi Jews have a remarkably similar genetic makeup, one that is hard to match with the general population. The doctors simply said, “Make the most of the time you have left.” But Yidden have more than a shared genetic history: They’re stubborn. Jay, his family and his friends weren’t going to give up. They started a blood drive, galvanizing neighbors, friends and high school students to come in for a simple test to see if they were a match. What started as a small, local effort soon exploded into a nationwide search for a match for Jay. Across the spectrum of Klal Yisroel, in every community where Yidden lived, people lined up by the thousands to get themselves tested. Jay smiles as he remembers, “Some places had such huge lines, they had to call in the police for crowd control!” Over 60,000 people were tested, and the family turned their tragedy into an ongoing opportunity for chesed. They were able to find matches among the volunteers for others who were waiting for transplants — but not for Jay. Friends of Jay organized one last drive. Becky Faibisoff, a frum girl from Chicago, volunteered to help out at the drive. However, she was afraid of needles, so she declined to donate. After testing 130 people, the volunteers were packing up to leave. At the last minute, Becky told herself it was silly to volunteer without getting herself tested. She closed her eyes, overcame her fear and sat for her blood to be drawn. The very last person of 60,000, at the very last drive… turned out to be a perfect match for Jay. After receiving his transplant in 1995, Jay decided that his ordeal had a purpose. He now had a working database of thousands of Ashkenazi Jews — thousands of people who could potentially save thousands of lives. He went on to found The Gift of Life,
a Florida-based national registry for donors. To date, they have made thousands of matches and have thereby saved thousands of lives all over the United States. * * * * *
When a Monsey Yid was recently struck with a debilitating illness that could be cured with a stem cell donation, the local community, too, was galvanized into action. Hundreds of people lined up for a simple, threesecond swab test. Local high school and yeshiva teenagers were mobilized as well. For Menachem, a Monsey yeshiva bochur, it was simply a routine thing that everyone else was doing, and he didn’t give it too much thought. He wasn’t a match for this particular case, but a short while later, he got the call from Gift of Life. He was a great match for another patient. Would he agree to donate his stem cells? After confirming that he was indeed a good match via a blood test and that he was in good health, The Gift of Life organization started the process. Menachem was soon armed with packets of information: where to go, what to do and how long it would take. “The hardest part of the ordeal were the infusions,” Menachem recalls. For five days, he had to go down to a local center where he received infusions to strengthen and prepare his blood for donation, leaving him with considerable headaches. “But our rosh yeshiva paskened that for pikuach nefesh, it was kedai to offer a little mesiras nefesh.” After those five days, Menachem was ready. The final process was as simple as having some blood drawn, except that in his case, it wasn’t so simple. His vein collapsed as they were drawing blood, and it looked like it just wasn’t going to happen. He went home, disappointed. But then he got a call: The small amount of blood they had been able to draw was just about enough! His blood was going to save this man’s life. After a year, the Gift of Life reached out to Menachem, notifying him that the recipient of his stem cells wanted to reach out to him to express his gratitude. The recipient thanked him, and said, “You literally gave me life.” Menachem is still amazed at how it’s possible to save someone’s life with just a bit of blood. “You don’t lose anything. During the extraction, you have two needles inside. One is to draw blood. After a device extracts the stem cells, the blood flows right back in through the other needle. Just a little bit of your time and a few drops of blood, and you’ve saved an entire world.”

Even the most protected of homes could not ward off the influx of frogs. Frightened Egyptians locked their doors and windows, but the frogs found their way inside. Frogs plunged the depths of the earth and came up just under the houses. Then they knocked on the tiles from below and begged, “Let us do the will of our Creator!” The floors split open, and the frogs invaded the Egyptian homes — soft reptiles penetrating solid floors. Besides the noise, mess and discomfort brought by the frogs, the Egyptians now needed to repair their broken floors. ג:שמו”ר י
FROGS HERE, FROGS THERE E S T H E R
I
t was on a random weeknight in the middle of the year, when I was trying to get the kids to bed, that the frogs popped into my head. Yeah, just like the song — there were frogs on their heads and frogs in their beds. Well, I didn’t have frogs in the beds — thank goodness — but I didn’t have any kids in beds either, and that was the problem. I was losing it. In my defense, it had been a long day, at the end of a long week, following an intense month that was part of a challenging year. If I’m being totally honest, it had been a long decade. But it was bedtime! And soon the house would quiet down, and I’d have some peace so I could rela— ha! Just kidding! So I could clean up from supper and lunch and breakfast and mop the spills and do the laundry so we’d have clean socks in the morning and call back the rebbi and finish the paperwork and eat something and work so we’d have money to pay for the groceries that I had to order, and, and, and. But all that was in the vague and distant future, because right now it was bedtime, and no
K I N G
one was going to bed. I opened my mouth. And the frog hopped into my head. I don’t know where it came from; it was nowhere near Pesach time. But that frog hopped into my head and in his deep and sonorous frog voice, said, “DON’T HIT THE FROG.” Don’t hit the frog — it was one of my favorite Pesach vorts. I don’t remember where I read it or who said it, but the question was: If the Egyptians saw that every time they hit the frog, it generated more and more frogs, why in the world did they keep hitting it? They were hitting it to try to get rid of it, but every blow just compounded the problem! Why didn’t they stop? The answer is that when you lose yourself, you act against your own interests. You do things that don’t make sense. When you lose yourself in rage, or fear, or even exhaustion or anxiety, you act in ways that are completely counterproductive. And even though you can see with your own eyes that you’re just creating more and more frogs… you can’t stop. I closed my mouth. If I yelled at the kids now, they wouldn’t go to bed faster. They would melt down, tantrum, cry or destroy (more) things. I wouldn’t get peace and quiet, I would get riled up kids who now had to be calmed and comforted before we could even talk about getting them into bed. Don’t hit the frog, I told myself through gritted teeth as I rounded up the two youngest ones and tried, again, to get them to sleep. Don’t hit the frog. Don’t hit the frog. A little while later, I emailed an illustrator I know and asked him to create an image for me: an Egyptian, face contorted in anger, hitting the frog, while many smaller frogs explode outward and surrounding Egyptians watch in horror. Maybe it’s not the most typical picture to have hanging in your upstairs hallway, but sometimes you need something to stop you in your tracks and remind you, before you reach the breaking point, not to hit the frog.

The lice left the Egyptians tired and exhausted, starved and thirsty. The pain of the insect bites made it impossible for them to sit — especially when that meant sitting on a seat of lice — and sleeping on a bed of insects wasn’t a very comfortable option, either. Besides, they were busy scratching themselves all over. The least uncomfortable position they could maintain was standing. But how long can one stand on a floor of insects? The Egyptians jumped up and down and ran around nonstop. With lice on their hands and faces, it was impossible to put food into their mouths; the insects would crawl inside. And the bold lice swam into their cups as well, making drinking impossible. Their swollen lips remained parched. It was a full week of no food, no sleep and no respite. ספר מטעמי השולחן
MAKKAS KINIM 2.0 N E S A N E L
Y O E L
I
f you thought the plague of kinim was a thing of the past, think again. For a generation of New Yorkers, there was a time when, instead of scratching at an outbreak of kinim, people were scratching their heads in confusion. They were being told to run inside and close their windows — because the helicopters were coming. No, not to schlep the Yidden out of galus. To spray DDT. But was this really the smartest solution?
The Great Lice War of the 20th Century Back in the 1940s and 1950s, health officials were on a mission to wipe out lice, which had the chutzpah to carry typhus — a disease nobody wanted as a souvenir. So, armed with the latest in pest-fighting technology, the authorities took to the skies and rained down DDT over neighborhoods like a modern-day makkah — only one that was supposed to be helpful. Middle-aged New Yorkers still recall the neighborhood announcements: “Close your windows! Stay inside! The helicopters are coming!” It wasn’t an invasion. It was public health policy. Children would watch from the windows
S A F R A N
as mysterious mist floated down from the sky, while mothers muttered things like, “What? We have to scrub the floors again? I just hope that stuff isn’t chometz!” For a kid, it was half-science fiction, halfPesach story, and fully confusing.
DDT: The Neis That Backfired DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane — try saying that three times fast, or even once) was a synthetic insecticide developed in the 1940s. It was initially hailed as a lifesaver, wiping out lice, mosquitoes and any other sheratzim that had dared to exist. It wasn’t just lice in crowded tenements; this stuff was used on farms, in homes, even sprayed directly on people’s heads. But much like Pharaoh’s decisions, what seemed like a good idea had serious consequences. Scientists started realizing that DDT didn’t go away after it did its job; it stuck around, accumulating in animals, water and even people. It made bird eggs thinner, harmed wildlife and even got linked to health risks for humans. By the 1970s, public opinion had shifted. What was once a miracle spray was now a cautionary tale. In 1972, the U.S. banned DDT, and just like that, the days of aerial anti-lice warfare were over. (I’ve heard that the anniversary of its banning is celebrated every year as a Yom Tov by lice world round.)
Kinim Then and Now Looking back, it’s hard not to see the irony: Thousands of years after Mitzrayim, people were still waging war against kinim — this time with chemical warfare from the sky instead of Moshe Rabbeinu’s staff. But the moral of the story? Whether in Egypt or 1950s Brooklyn, lice will always find a way to drive people crazy. And when that happens, there’s only one thing to do. Run inside, close the windows… and let someone else clean up the mess. There’s already enough things to do on Erev Pesach.

Sitting in their homes, the Egyptians heard frightening noises from their barns. Their sheep and oxen were braying, terrified of the wild animals infringing on their space. The Egyptians thought their sheep, whom they deified, were bleating to ward off the beasts. Then it grew quiet. The Egyptians ran outside to see what was going on — and never returned home. The donkeys and oxen that had served them faithfully suddenly ceased to be domesticated animals. The sheep they had relied on for holy protection suddenly went wild. The cattle tore their masters to pieces, just like the lions, wolves and wild animals that invaded the country. יז–כ:מדה”ג ח/ספר הישר
THE RIGHT TRACKS H A D A S S A H

peaking with Rabbi Rafoel Franklin of Pelleh Poultry and Bethel Creamery, you get the sense that it isn’t only the journey he’s traveled in his personal life that’s fascinating, but also the many hats he wears today. Rabbi Franklin grew up in the backwoods of Montana. While his family wasn’t frum in the true sense of the word, they were traditional and had a very strong Jewish identity. “While I grew up among non-Jews,” Reb Rafoel says, “I knew I wasn’t like them. I knew we were different, and I knew that wasn’t my future. That’s what propelled me to visit New York when I grew older.” His childhood home was located in an area where, for miles around, people had no electricity. “Everyone lived like people lived years and years ago,” Reb Rafoel adds, “and to some extent, it’s still like that today. I went back for a visit three years ago — it was my first visit in forty years — and my neighbors, by now in their seventies, were still perfectly content without electricity.” Living as people did decades ago also meant that there was only one way to feed
S T E I N M A N
their families: hunting. One particular neighbor was illiterate, but his survival skills were sharper than those of anyone else the young Rafoel knew. This neighbor was hardworking and smart and taught Rafoel how to live off the earth and its offerings. One memorable day, he invited thenteenage Rafoel to join him in hunting elk, which he needed for its meat. Out in the woods, they came across a mountain lion. Rafoel’s neighbor aimed and fired. The mountain lion wasn’t killed, however, and it ran off, leaving bloody tracks in the snow. The two men spent the day tracking the lion through the woods, but the animal kept outsmarting its hunters, eventually jumping lower and lower down a ridge so the two kept losing its tracks. Finally, Rafoel and his neighbor split up to search for the mountain lion yet again, and after tracking it once more, this time on his own, Rafoel came eye to eye with the animal. “The lion was hiding in a crevice in the rock right behind me,” says Reb Rafoel, “but I couldn’t shoot him. He was such a beautiful animal, and he was looking me straight in the eye.” * * * * *
Time passed, and in his twenties, Rafoel began exploring his heritage. Eventually, a rosh yeshivah he had grown close to told him, “You grew up hunting, now you have to be mekadesh this.” “He was the one who encouraged me to train as a mohel and shochet,” Reb Rafoel says, “and I did. When my boys were born, I was their mohel.” And in terms of shechitah, well, that’s the beginning of the rest of the story, one that is still being told every day with the siyata d’Shmaya Rabbi Franklin sees on his Pelleh Poultry farm. Look out for a comprehensive article about Pelleh Poultry and Bethel Creamery in an upcoming issue of The Monsey View.

When the warning came that their cattle would die, some of the Egyptians actually paid heed and grew afraid. These Egyptians took precautionary measures: They sold their donkeys, oxen and camels to Yidden at dirtcheap prices just to avoid losing everything they had. Many tried to outsmart the system and arranged fake deals, selling their cattle to Yidden dishonestly. But the truth cannot be hidden from Hakadosh Baruch Hu, and these animals died, even if they seemed to be in possession of a Yid. ו:אור החיים ט/ה:העמק דבר ט
THE STORY OF MAD COWS S I V I
I
S E K U L A
magine waking up one day to find out that your burger might kill you. That’s pretty much what happened in the UK during the 1980s and 1990s when mad cow disease — officially called bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) — took over the news and turned into a national nightmare. It wasn’t just about sick cows; it became a deadly crisis that affected humans, led to major food safety changes, and even banned Britons from donating blood in countries like the U.S. and Israel for decades! In the 1980s, British cows started acting weird — stumbling around, behaving aggressively and eventually losing control of their bodies. Farmers and scientists were baffled. Turns out, the culprit was infected animal feed. Cows were being fed ground-up remains of other animals, including sheep that carried a similar disease called scrapie. That’s when scientists realized that “prions” — tiny, misfolded proteins that attack the brain — were spreading like wildfire. At first, officials assured the public that humans couldn’t catch it. Unfortunately, they were wrong. By the 1990s, a terrifying new illness started appearing in people. Young, otherwise-healthy individuals suddenly developed memory loss,
suffered personality changes and had difficulty walking, eventually losing all muscle control. This wasn’t just any disease; it was variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD), a fatal brain disorder caused by eating infected beef. The UK government scrambled to respond. Millions of cows were slaughtered, their meat discarded, British beef was banned worldwide, and strict new food safety laws were instated. But the damage was done: More than 200 people died from vCJD, and the world was officially terrified of British blood. Here’s where things get really interesting. Scientists realized that prions don’t just hide in meat; they can also linger in the bloodstream. And since prions are basically indestructible (they survive extreme heat, radiation and even chemical sterilization), governments around the world feared that vCJD could spread through blood transfusions. Therefore, in the late 1990s, several countries — including the U.S., Canada, Israel and Australia — banned anyone who had spent significant time in the UK between 1980 and 1996 from donating blood. Suddenly, millions of Brits were permanently blacklisted from blood donation. For decades, British expats and travelers faced the same frustrating question on blood donor forms: “Did you spend six months or more in the UK between 1980 and 1996?” Checking “yes” meant an automatic rejection, no matter how healthy they were. Fast forward to today, science has advanced, and the fears of vCJD spreading via blood have significantly decreased. In October 2022, the American Red Cross finally lifted the decades-old ban, allowing former UK residents to donate blood again. In January 2023, Israel followed suit, dropping its 24-year restriction. For many Brits, this was a weirdly emotional moment. After years of being treated like walking biohazards, they could finally roll up their sleeves and donate blood without any awkward refusals.

There were 24 different kinds of blisters that beleaguered the Egyptians, and these assorted varieties contradicted each other. What could cure one kind of blister was dangerous for another, and what soothed one kind only exacerbated the next. There was simply no cure and no relief. Additionally, the blisters were wet on the outside and dry on the inside, leaving them with no remedy whatsoever. With this, Hakadosh Baruch Hu demonstrated complete mastery over the four conditions — heat, cold, moisture and dryness. י:מדה”ג ט/ב”ק דף פ/מדרש שלושה וארבעה פרק א
A BLISTERING MYSTERY L E A H
M
N I D E R M A N
eir was a super cheerful baby, and despite my fears that he had contracted some weird and dangerous disease, he barely blinked through this episode. My oldest wouldn’t hold him, and my stomach would turn when I saw his blisters, but he was totally chilled, merrily doing his ten-month-old business as if the soles of his feet weren’t completely covered in jellybeanlike blisters. Luckily, he wasn’t walking yet. The doctor later told us that had he been walking, we would have had to put him in the bath and carefully poke each blister so that he could walk, a job for which I am certain I would have had no takers. It started as little blisters on his feet, and I went to the doctor thinking it was coxsackie. He didn’t have any other symptoms, though, aside from a smaller number of blisters on his hand. The pediatrician was underwhelmed by his lack of other symptoms, and I was simply grateful that he could go to daycare and that his mouth was unaffected. When the blisters came back a second time soon after, the doctor was flummoxed but still unconcerned. The blisters, which now covered the soles of his feet, continued to multiply and grow, so I ran to a dermatologist on Erev Shabbos. In the way of all good dermatologists, she prescribed a high-strength steroid. I was hesitant to use something so strong on such a sensitive body
part, especially since he was an infant and didn’t seem particularly bothered unless we touched his blisters — which none of us wanted to do in the first place. She diagnosed him with a certain very specific and uncommon brand of eczema, which didn’t sit right with me. When the blisters came back yet again with a vengeance, I begged my way to an appointment with a highly rated pediatric dermatologist who typically had a months’ long waitlist. She was in awe! The soles of Meir’s feet and toes were at this point completely covered, obscured by firm jellybean-like blisters. Think fresh bubble wrap, with tinted, unevenly sized bubbles. She promptly diagnosed him with infantile acropustulosis, which is basically a fancy name for, drumroll please, pustules on an infant. This rare skin condition of unknown cause occurs in infants, and she assured me that over the next year or two, it would recur with less frequency and intensity each time until he outgrew it completely at around age three. The dermatologist asked for permission to take pictures and for me to sign a consent form to use the pictures for textbook and teaching purposes, which was actually kind of cool. Then, like the first dermatologist (who had the wrong diagnosis), she also offered to prescribe steroids. Because she felt that the blisters she was looking at were not “alive” anymore, we opted out of steroids (and the offered biopsy) and left with the promise that the office would squeeze us in as soon as the next bout began in case we did want to try treatment. Thankfully, we never needed to return, as future episodes were indeed milder, and now that we knew what they were, they were nothing to write home about. Meir’s weird and blistery feet remain just another blip on the list of random and mysterious ailments that kids seem to regularly turn up with, usually on Erev Shabbosos and Yomim Tovim. And my oldest, who wouldn’t hold him with his jellybean feet? She’s grateful to this day that the pictures of his feet (taken to send to a doctor cousin during our quest for a diagnosis) were such a valuable contribution to the Shechin page on her makkos report.

Before the plague of fire-andice hailstones, the Egyptians had never seen rain. The land got its water from the Nile overflow, and precipitation was unknown in the region. But now they had chunks of ice as large as watermelons (the measure of six handfuls each) falling on their heads. Inside the ice were flames. Those who weren’t crouched under their beds or cowering in the corners out of great fear looked out of their windows to see massive balls of fire falling from the sky, crashing to the earth in a storm of destruction. ילמ”ל עמ’ קיח/יג:אברבנאל ט
STORM OF ICE S I V I
H
S E K U L A
ailstorms might seem like a minor inconvenience, but in some cases, they can turn into fullblown disasters. That’s what happened in Kansas City on April 10, 2001, when a violent storm pounded the region with baseball-sized hailstones, leaving a path of destruction in its wake. The storm that hit Kansas City wasn’t just another spring shower; it was a monster. The skies darkened, winds howled, and then, without warning, massive chunks of ice began raining down from the sky. The hailstorm tore through the area, smashing windows, denting cars and wrecking rooftops. People who were outside at the time ran for cover as ice chunks, some as big as softballs, fell from the sky. The storm didn’t just target Kansas City; its path of destruction stretched across three states, with hail-covered roads looking like they had
been hit by a freak blizzard in the middle of April. By the time the storm was over, thousands of vehicles looked like they had been through a warzone, their surfaces battered with dents and shattered glass, and insurance companies were overwhelmed with claims. In total, the storm caused over $1.5 billion in damages, making it the most expensive hailstorm in U.S. history. * * * * *
Nine years later, another record-breaking hailstorm took place in Vivian, South Dakota. When the storm rolled through the small town on July 23, 2010, it left behind one of the biggest hailstones ever recorded. The fierce hailstorm pounded local resident Les Scott’s yard, producing thunderous crashes as ice chunks battered his home, tearing through the roof. “It was like a guy was throwing bricks at the house,” Scott recalled. “It was scary.” The storm’s hailstones were monstrous, some striking the ground with such force that they left holes the size of coffee cans in the dirt. Among the icy wreckage, Scott spotted an exceptionally large hailstone and decided to keep it. That evening, during a phone call with a local meteorologist, he jokingly said that he was considering using it to mix a daiquiri — a plan quickly abandoned after the Aberdeen National Weather Service convinced him otherwise. The next day, weather experts arrived to document the incredible find. Their precise measurements confirmed the hailstone’s record-breaking status: an 8-inch diameter, later certified by the National Climate Extremes Committee. To preserve history, a scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research created a few plaster replicas of the Vivian hailstone, which are on display at several museums. With an original weight of roughly 2 pounds and a circumference of 19 inches, the Vivian hailstone remains one of nature’s most astonishing weather phenomena.

Completely distraught, the Egyptians watched as billions of grasshoppers consumed every bit of foliage around them. But then, just as the sun set on Friday, the grasshoppers stopped munching. An entire day passed in silence. It seemed the grasshoppers had completed their job, and the Egyptians began thinking of ways to restore their land. But as soon as Shabbos was over, the grasshoppers got to work again — eating everything they found, even though there seemed to be nothing edible in sight. Hashem’s employees rest on Shabbos, unlike the Yidden under Egyptian jurisdiction who were forced to endure a seven-day workweek. יד:בעה”ט י
A LOCUST BY ANY OTHER NAME S A N D Y
S
o, technically, the swarm of winged insects that covered every single surface that I could see wasn’t exactly a swarm of locusts. But it was horrifying and noisy, and it was pretty much impossible to walk anywhere for a good six weeks without stepping on one. It all happened in May 1987, when I was a newlywed living 200 miles away from home in Baltimore. One evening, as we went for a pre-Mincha walk, I told my New Jersey-born husband that I had heard about cicadas coming, but had no idea what they were. Like me, my husband hadn’t been in Baltimore in 1970, the last time cicadas took over town, but he had heard of them, and reassuringly told me that they were bugs that showed up every few years. “But they’re no big deal,” he said. “You hardly even notice them, and they’re gone before you know it.” Little did either of us know that we had arrived in Baltimore right before trillions of cicadas, known as Brood X, were due to emerge from the ground, something they do every seventeen years like clockwork. Just so you know, cicadas aren’t anything like your average housefly. After climbing up every
E L L E R
tree they can possibly find, they evolve into one- to two-inch-long creepy crawlies with five (!!) bright red eyes, six orange legs, and three- to four-inch wingspans. Worse yet, cicadas shed their outer skeletons without a care in the world, leaving behind a veritable carpet of brown shells that go crunch when you step on them. And you will step on them, because they are literally everywhere. I first realized that something was off one Shabbos morning as I was touching up my stillunfamiliar sheitel. Glancing out the window, I noticed that the leaves of a nearby tree were brown instead of their usual green. And then it hit me: Those weren’t leaves I was seeing; those were cicadas, and there were so many of them that you couldn’t even see the tree’s actual foliage. For the next six weeks, Baltimore was blanketed in cicadas, and while they don’t bite or destroy plants like locusts do, on a scale of one to ten, their annoyance factor is well into the thousands. Forget about shaking off a cicada that flew straight into you and landed on you — their feet are sticky, making them tough to brush off. Noisily chirping at a volume equal to that of an average motorcycle, cicadas can wreak havoc on cars, damaging paint and clogging grills and exhaust pipes. One story that made the rounds that spring involved someone who got into a crash while trying to swat a cicada out of their car. I would love to tell you that I enjoyed a mah rabu maasecha Hashem experience, but I would be lying. I stayed home whenever possible, my heart aching for the mothers who had no choice but to keep their kids inside for weeks to ensure that they weren’t playing with — or worse yet, nibbling on — Baltimore’s latest guests. All these years later, I still cringe when I think of cicadas, and the non-kosher restaurant that advertised a new menu item: franks in cicada sauce. As Hashem’s creations, I have no doubt that cicadas serve a purpose in this world, but I’m already marking my calendar for their next emergence in 2038 to make sure I am far, far away from cicada territory.

It happened smack in the middle of one bright morning. Suddenly, the world went dark. It was a darkness darker than night. It was impossible for the Egyptians to see the person standing right near them, or even to see their own hand, lifted before their eyes. The Egyptians panicked, each one thinking he had lost his vision and turned blind. His eyes were open, yet he could see nothing! In the first few moments, the entire country was enveloped in deep silence. This was soon followed by a noisy uproar, as men, women and children began to cry in fear. The Egyptians had darkened the eyes of Klal Yisroel through backbreaking labor, and now they were finding themselves shrouded in darkness. ספר הישר/כג:העמק דבר י/כא:רבינו בחיי י
A BLINDING FEAR F R A I D Y
I
remember the darkness. That, and the indignance I felt at the promise that I’d be rewarded if I could see how many fingers my father was holding up, even though I couldn’t see. It all began a few minutes earlier. I was six years old and playing with a cousin in a kiddie pool on the porch. Super excited about something, I ran from the porch into the kitchen, slipped, fell, and knocked my head on the tiled floor. When I sat up, I couldn’t see. I was young, and so my discomfort was more about how I felt in the moment. But my parents and siblings were struck by terror. My memories contain the impression of a sister or two somewhere in the background, but later I would hear how all they could think was Braille. A walking stick. Groping hands. A sister who was blind. Fraidy’s mother remembers:
The day Fraidy knocked her head and temporarily lost her vision is one of my most terrifying memories. She ran inside straight from the pool, and the tiled kitchen floor and her wet feet were a recipe for disaster. She slipped, fell, and bumped her head, and when she got up, she said she couldn’t see. Torn between supreme panic and disbelief, my husband and I — due to fear more than anything — first thought Fraidy might be overdramatizing her fall. “Can you see how many fingers I’m holding up?” my
M A N N
husband asked, desperation coloring his voice. “If you tell me how many fingers I have, I’ll buy you a treat!” “I know you have five fingers,” Fraidy said tearfully, “but I can’t see how many you’re holding up!” After a few minutes, I dressed her quickly, my husband picked her up, and we headed straight to our family doctor, Dr. David Simons, who lived only a few blocks away. The doctor examined her. Then he asked her to look at a picture book with him. “Can you see the animal on the page?” he asked. “What is it?” Fraidy shook her head. She couldn’t see. “Fraidy, can you tell me what color it is?” She couldn’t. It’s always frightening to see a doctor looking scared, and Dr. Simons looked so scared that afternoon, my heart turned to ice. He tucked one hand into his pocket — I think it was so we shouldn’t see it trembling — and used his second hand to call Hatzoloh. “What’s the soonest we can get to Westchester?” he asked. The answer was a shockingly short length of time, and before we knew it, the truck was in the doctor’s parking lot. Fraidy had fallen asleep on my husband’s shoulder at that point, which scared the wits out of us, but Dr. Simons assured us that it was simply the trauma that was exhausting her, and that we needn’t worry. Midway to the hospital — we were on the Tappan Zee Bridge — Fraidy suddenly stirred. She opened her eyes — and looked around the truck. She could see! The relief that lit up that tiny Hatzoloh truck was more intense than words can describe. Can words really illustrate the terror of a parent worrying that their child was losing their vision? Can words illustrate the relief? Baruch Hashem, Fraidy could see! The following day, Dr. Simons called us up to check in, and to inform us that there was a name for what happened the previous day. Apparently, a knock to the head could suppress the blood flow to and from optic pathways, causing sudden and temporary blindness. Gifts we are born with are easy to take for granted, but that fateful day, the gift of sight was one we learned to be grateful for — always.

There was no home that had no corpse. The Egyptians could not be consoled as they watched fathers, wives, sons, daughters and siblings — some of whom they themselves did not know were firstborns — die before their eyes. And they had no one to turn to. Their gods had been smitten in the previous Makkos — the Nile, the sun, Pharaoh, and even their sheep, who were being slaughtered for the Korban Pesach. They ran to their idols, but they, too, were struck in this Makkah. Clay idols were broken to pieces; wooden idols grew wormy and rotted; stone idols dissolved, exploded or were burned; and idols of gold and silver simply melted. The Egyptians were left with no support — only the forced recognition that there was but One G-d Who guides the world with precision. יב:מדה”ג יב/ד:רבינו בחיי במדבר לג/’מכי’ בא פר’ ז/יב:תריב”ע יב
PARENTING THE BECHOR R I V K A
T
L E V I T A N S K Y
here’s an advantage to being the first child; the oldest gets tons of love and attention, and they are appreciated, wanted and have no competition. They get their parents’ total and undivided attention, and their parents take endless delight in everything they do. It’s a great foundation for any child. But there are some pitfalls when parenting a bechor, an oldest son or daughter. It’s your first child, you don’t know anything yet, and you’re learning on the job. Now, that’s the system Hashem created, and you can definitely be successful. But it’s important to be aware that with your first child, you don’t really understand what they can and can’t do developmentally. And, of course, there’s a range; individual children will be capable of different things at different times. A Yiddishe home has a hierarchy. It’s not a democracy where everyone is equal. Parents are the authority of the home, and children must listen to them. But even among the children, there is a hierarchy according to birth order. So the bechor (or bechora) gets more privileges than the second child, and the second gets more privileges than the third. However, the oldest doesn’t just get some more privileges. They get many more privileges — about double, in fact. The reason for this is because parents are much more cautious with their first. The oldest child doesn’t get to cross the street until he’s ten, for instance, but the younger kids are crossing years earlier than that. In this way, we let the later children do things much earlier than we allowed the first. We’re less afraid, we’re used to
watching kids grow up, and we see from experience that it’s okay. It’s important to be aware of this tendency so you can make sure you’re not holding your bechor back. When kids take note that they’re not being treated exactly the same as another child in the family, they might object (often very strongly), so it’s important to understand that we don’t treat all of our kids equally — not everyone gets exactly the same thing at the same time. Instead, we treat all of our kids fairly — and everyone gets exactly what’s right for them. In the mitzvah kabeid es avicha v’es imecha, the Torah includes the oldest brother. It’s important that the oldest brother get the respect that the Torah assigns to him. If the other children complain, it’s okay to respond simply, “He’s the oldest.” If the oldest son does not get the respect that is due him, he may try to take it on his own, often by being aggressive toward his younger siblings. That’s his way of trying to assert authority and status. Giving him the privileges appropriate to his place in the family will fill that need, and he won’t need to fight for his rights. While it’s important not to hold kids back, it’s important not to set expectations too high either. Rav Braverman, shlit”a, rosh yeshivah of Yeshivas Meah Shearim, says that menahelim can always tell which bochurim are the oldest in their family. He calls it “bechor syndrome”: The father expects way too much from the son — in davening, learning and behavior — and the son feels that he never measures up. The end result is low self-esteem as the bechor believes he can’t achieve what he should and will never be good enough. This plays out differently with girls. A mother with an oldest daughter often needs her help, and of course, it’s appropriate for all children in a family to help according to their abilities. But just because you need a certain amount of help doesn’t mean it’s appropriate for your bechora to provide all that help. It’s important to make sure that you’re not demanding too much. In any discussion of parenting, the most important thing is to give your children love regardless of anything they do or don’t do. Discipline may sometimes be necessary, but love is always necessary. Believe in your children, and they’ll believe in themselves. Behave toward them in ways that demonstrate that you believe they’re great, and you believe they’re capable. That will build them and bring out the best in them, from the oldest down to the baby.

W
hen my father passed away in 2020, our family embarked on the bittersweet journey that follows loss — sorting through belongings, discovering forgotten mementos and piecing together fragments of a life we thought we knew. But a surprise awaited us. We uncovered a collection of letters, exchanged between my father and a few of his friends some 60 years earlier, when my father was still a bochur and when life was still of the sort where letter-writing was a common mode of communication. As we carefully unfolded the pages, we discovered that they contained something more precious than we could have imagined: accounts of what comprised regular life in the early years of the Satmar community in postwar Williamsburg, centered around the towering figure of “the Rebbe.” My father, like his father, had been a staunch chassid of the Satmar Rebbe, Rav Yoel Teitelbaum, zy”a, following his every teaching with unwavering devotion. These letters were historical documents, windows into a world that no longer existed. Each envelope we opened revealed new stories — a vivid description of a visit from the Skulener Rebbe, zt”l, a joyous hachnasas sefer Torah celebration one Shavuos, and countless other moments of significance in the community’s rehabilitation following the devastation of the Holocaust. As I read through letter after letter, a question hovered in my mind: Would there be any descriptions of the Rebbe’s Seder? Throughout my childhood, my father mentioned the Rebbe’s Seder numerous times. Certainly, he spoke of it on Pesach, when he’d say, “The Rebbe stood at this part of the Haggadah,” or, “The Rebbe sang this nusach here,” but even during the year, the Rebbe’s Seder would sometimes come up in conversation. Therefore, it came as a surprise when I discovered — years later, in a casual conversation with my father — that he had never, in fact, attended a full Seder at the Rebbe. My father was only ten when his father passed away, and the Rebbe became a surrogate father to him. But more than that, the Rebbe was his guide. “The Rebbe was my everything,” he told me once. And yet, when he asked the Rebbe to join his Seder table, the Rebbe said, “You can’t leave 348

your mother alone. Your place is with her.” Still, almost every year, he caught parts of the Seder. One year, he’d drop by before his family’s Seder started; another, he’d go over when it ended. His mother, too, encouraged him and his brothers to go and see the Rebbe’s Seder. Because my father had lost his father at such a young age, he didn’t remember all of his father’s minhagim. And so, to supplement what was lacking, what we practiced at our family Seder were precise replications of what my father had witnessed at the Rebbe’s table — each gesture, each intonation, each ritual carefully preserved and transmitted to us as a sacred inheritance. Therefore, when we found my father’s letters, I wondered whether there’d be any mention in them of the Rebbe’s Sedarim. Indeed, I was not disappointed. Just as in life, comments and anecdotes about the Rebbe’s Seder — and in one spot, a beautiful Torah insight he’d shared at one Seder — were sprinkled throughout the letters. These were tantalizing mentions, bringing me back to my childhood, fusing the connection between past and present. Because of this personal history, it was with great joy that I accepted the opportunity to listen in on and write up an interview conducted with Reb Hersh Meilech Wercberger, shlit”a, rosh hakahel of Satmar Monsey who was a bochur in those early postwar years, on what it was like to be witness to the Rebbe’s Sedarim. Here, at last, was another testimony to those sacred evenings — another voice to help reconstruct the experience my father had treasured so deeply.
The letter that contains a vort the Rebbe shared during one Seder
The Pesach Seder of the
SATMAR REBBE, ZT”L, in Postwar Williamsburg R O I Z Y

Memories of Majesty:
An Interview With Reb Hersh Meilech Wercberger Reb Hersh Meilech Wercberger is the son of Reb Avrum’ele Wercberger, one of the Rebbe’s closest people and a well-known figure in Satmar. Reb Hersh Meilech escaped the horrors of the Holocaust at the beginning of the war and eventually found himself, along with his family, in the embrace of the Satmar community in Williamsburg. One of his grandsons, Yitzchok*, conducted the interview, seeking to preserve these precious memories.
“W
ho was permitted to attend the Seder?” Yitzchok inquires. “Was it primarily bochurim? Yesomim?” Reb Hersh Meilech shakes his head. “No, as a general rule, bochurim couldn’t come. The Rebbe had to make a decision each year about whom to include, because everyone wanted to attend, but the space was limited. Typically, the guests would be sheine Yidden, figures like Reb Yankele from Pshevorsk, zy”a. “Sometimes yesomim would be invited to the Seder. And, of course, there were some regular attendees each year — the Rebbe’s relatives, Reb Elya Teitelbaum, and several others.” “And you? Were you ever fortunate enough to attend?” A smile of pride crosses Reb Hersh Meilech’s face. “Yes, the first time I attended, Erev Pesach fell on Shabbos, just as it does this year. I was serving as the Rebbe’s hoiz bochur at that time. My assigned time was from Friday morning until Shabbos morning. Since I would be there on Shabbos anyway, I approached the Rebbe and expressed my wish to remain for the Seder. “But the Rebbe, ever mindful of family obligations, asked

me, ‘What about your father?’ I told him that my father had other children at home, and that he specifically wanted me to have this experience. So then, the Rebbe agreed.” “Which year was this?” Yitzchok asks. Reb Hersh Meilech’s reply is swift in coming. “Year 5714 [1954]. And then, when I was engaged to be married, I was able to go again.” “So the Rebbe allowed chasanim to attend?” “Well, some of them,” Reb Hersh Meilech says. “Each person had to approach the Rebbe individually, and the Rebbe would decide whom he could accommodate. Reb Yankele, zy”a, for instance, was permitted to attend the entire Seder each year.” “Wait,” Yitzchok says. “What about Reb Yankele’s wife and children? Did they attend the Seder too?” “No. For years, Reb Yankele would travel to Williamsburg for Pesach without his family.” “What was the atmosphere like? Was there a sense of gravity, of formality?” “No, there was no formality at all.” Reb Hersh Meilech is very clear about this. “It was just malchus’dig, regal. The Rebbe conducted every aspect with such royal dignity. Even before

the Seder, the Rebbe would begin by distributing matzah. People would come by, even those who weren’t attending the Seder, to receive a piece of matzah directly from his hand.” Reb Hersh Meilech’s voice grows soft with the memories. “Then the Rebbe came to the Seder table with such a glow, such sheinkeit. I once heard that those who attended the Chasam Sofer’s Seder couldn’t look directly at his face — so powerful was the radiance emanating from him. It was almost like that with our Rebbe. Such splendor!” “Approximately how many people attended?” “Perhaps thirty or forty,” Reb Hersh Meilech estimates. “Possibly as many as fifty in some years. The table was prepared beautifully, with exquisite attention to detail. The Rebbetzin had an expert eye for beautiful things, unmatched by anyone else.” His description takes on a poetic quality. “When the Rebbe entered the room, it was as if the sun itself had risen — such was his glow. He would take his place on his beautiful hesev bet, surrounded by lush pillows. Holding onto his tallis, he would begin to recite the Haggadah with a melody of otherworldly beauty.

Reb Hersh Meilech’s voice rises in imitation of the Rebbe’s passionate delivery. “‘Avadim hayini l’Paroh b’Mitzrayim!’ the Rebbe would exclaim, and those attending would hum along to themselves.” “Did the Rebbe share many Torah insights during the Seder?” Yitzchok asks. “Yes, certainly, many Torah insights. He would pause at various points to share a vort here, another teaching there. There were many profound interpretations throughout the evening. I specifically remember how he recited Hallel with unbelievable fervor, and how he paused at the pasuk, ‘Hashem li b’ozroy, v’ani ereh b’son’oy.’ “‘Ribono Shel Olam,’ the Rebbe said, ‘we have no way of knowing who is true to us and who is an enemy. So we beg You, Hashem li b’ozroy, help us, Hashem, that we should have the siyata d’Shmaya, v’ani ereh b’son’oy, to know and see who is in reality our enemy.’” Here Yitzchok steers the conversation to the specific hanhagos observed at the Rebbe’s table. “Was the Rebbe strict about eating the afikomen before midnight?”

“Yes, definitely,” confirms Reb Hersh Meilech. “Immediately after the brachos and the k’zaysim — Motzi Matzah, Marror — the Rebbe would request the afikomen. But he would gesture to the guests, ‘Nu, nu, nu,’ that they should continue eating the seudah. The Rebbe himself didn’t eat the seudah because he was stringent about consuming the afikomen before chatzos. Actually, many of the guests present followed his example anyway. “The Rebbe would recline completely, from head to toe on the hesev bet, and eat the k’zaysim in that position, with such fervor, such zeal! He pronounced the brachos loudly, with intensity, infusing each word with profound feeling.” “Who would steal the afikomen?” asks Yitzchok. A smile plays across Reb Hersh Meilech’s face. “On one occasion, my father took it.” “Oh, so your father also attended the Seder?” “No, not as an official guest,” Reb Hersh Meilech clarifies. “But we lived upstairs from the Rebbe’s quarters at 500 Bedford Avenue, so my father would go downstairs just to observe portions of the Seder. We were always going up and down. So once, he took the afikomen. But the Rebbe didn’t really like it when people stole the afikomen, so my father simply gave it
back without asking for anything specific. “I remember once when Chaim’l, who is now the Ropshitzer Rav, was a young boy, and he stole the afikomen. But generally speaking, the Rebbe didn’t promise any significant brachos for the return of the afikomen.” “How long did the entire Seder typically last?” Yitzchok asked. “It didn’t run that late, because the Rebbe wanted to eat the afikomen before chatzos. But once the afikomen was eaten, the pace would slow. On the second night, since the Rebbe was only particular about eating the k’zaysim before chatzos, and not the afikomen, the Seder often took longer.” “What did the Rebbe drink during the Seder? Was it wine? Must?” “He drank heimishe wine. People would bring wine they had prepared themselves. Everyone wanted the Rebbe to use their wine. “I must emphasize again,” says Reb Hersh Meilech, “that from the moment the Rebbe entered the room, the experience was utem-farchapendig, absolutely breathtaking! His niggun was indescribably beautiful. Every element of the Seder held fascination. Each year, like I

said, our family would come downstairs periodically throughout the evening, just to observe whichever portion of the Seder was underway.” “Who prepared the food?” Yitzchok inquires. “The Rebbetzin herself did the cooking, with assistance,” Reb Hersh Meilech says. “During the Seder, the Rebbetzin sat in an adjacent room. You’re familiar with the layout at 500 Bedford Avenue, yes? One room opened into another, and they would leave the connecting door open. The Rebbetzin sat at her own table in that second room, positioned directly across from the Rebbe. Several women sat with her, close relatives of the family.” “Who was chosen to ask the Mah Nishtanah?” “Sometimes it was Reb Yossel [Ashkenazi],” Reb Hersh Meilech recalls. “On other occasions, it would be Chaim’l, the son of the Muzhai’er Rav. There was always someone else. The Rebbe would listen, then repeat the fir kashes aloud.” As the interview draws to a close, Reb Hersh Meilech seems reluctant to end his reminiscing. “I want to share something else with you. This isn’t about Pesach specifically, but it helps to illustrate what those early years were like — the extraordinary beauty of the Rebbe’s presence. “In those early years, the Satmar community was tiny; sometimes barely a minyan gathered for Shacharis. But the Rebbe would recite Barchu, krias haTorah, with such exquisite tniyes. Those were himlishe zachen — from Heaven itself. Simply to listen was a privilege beyond description. Aza min sheinkeit — such beauty — I cannot adequately convey it in words. On Friday nights, as well, the Rebbe would begin the evening tefillos with such depth of feeling, such heartfelt brokenness. Even a simple Maariv became transcendent. I’m attempting to describe it, but it’s truly impossible to capture it in language. “In Monticello, there was a litvishe Yid, a talmid chacham, who operated a chicken farm. He was among those who had found refuge in Shanghai during the Holocaust. One year, when the Rebbe was staying in the countryside, he was studying Torah in the middle of the night, chanting aloud with a soul-stirring melody. I was zoche to be there at that time. Suddenly, I noticed the farmer running toward us. The night was still, and sound carried great distances in the quiet. The Rebbe’s beautiful voice had penetrated the darkness, and this man couldn’t resist it. He felt compelled to come closer, drawn by that irresistible beauty of sound.”

The Legacy Continues It has been 46 years since the Satmar Rebbe, Rav Yoel Teitelbaum, zt”l, passed away. But the minhagim of his Seder, as well as his countless other teachings, continue to be maintained and cherished in countless families, including my own. Every time we sit or stand at the Seder table, with every bracha we pronounce and niggun we sing, we are not merely performing rituals; we are participating in a living legacy that stretches back to the light that was kindled anew in postwar Williamsburg after the darkness of the Holocaust. In those early years, the Rebbe’s Seder table became more than just an observance. It represented continuity, resilience and the triumph of faith in the face of unimaginable loss. The meticulous attention to detail, the insistence on beauty even amid scarcity, the strict adherence to tradition — these were not merely expressions of devotion, but acts of spiritual resistance against the forces that had sought to eradicate Jewish life entirely. In a world of constant change and upheaval, there is profound comfort in maintaining these threads of connection — from the Rebbe to my father, to Reb Hersh Meilech and others of that generation; from them to us; and b’ezras Hashem, from us to future generations. This, perhaps, is the deepest meaning of the Haggadah’s instruction: “B’chol dor v’dor… In every generation, each person must see himself as though he personally came out of Mitzrayim.” Through these cherished traditions, these carefully preserved memories, we transcend time itself, participating in an eternal moment that binds all generations of Yidden together.

Chometz for the Chasan My sister got engaged the day before Purim (she was 28 and no one wanted to wait an extra minute). The vort was in my parents’ house, and many people sent gifts, which stayed in their house in a corner of the guest room. On Erev Pesach, after sof zman of all the zmanim, my sister the kallah suddenly remembered that one of the gifts, which had been sent from a friend of the chasan, was a set of designer glassware wrapped elegantly with an expensive bottle of whiskey. In other words, chometz. She told my father, who said that since it belonged to the chasan and not to him, his kol chamira did not cover it. With the clock ticking down to the deadline, he rapidly did a mental scan of the relevant factors and finally told her to pour it down the sink. Which she did... right before licht bentschen. L’chaim! — Esther King

Welcome to the Neighborhood In the days leading up to Pesach, I kept getting a whiff of bonfire smoke. Why are the neighbors making their own fires? I wondered. Much simpler to get the challah burned elsewhere. I was almost smug about the way my husband chose to do things. Why was it necessary to add the drama of fire danger to an already hectic Erev Yom Tov? In addition to the smell of smoke on the breeze, I also kept getting calls from my sister. “Gitty left her bag here when she helped out with the day camp. Can you send someone for it?” Sure we could. Except we were also knee deep in egg lokshen, Mr. Clean and aluminum foil. My daughter’s bag couldn’t be that important, could it? What did it contain, her sweater? The days flipped by, and all of a sudden, it was late afternoon on Erev Pesach. The zman was nearing, and with the advent of Yom Tov came that whoosh of relief. I made it! I sat down with a warm plate of beef stew and tuned out the rest of the house. I was enjoying my food when I heard a knock at the door. My husband opened it, there was an exchange of conversation, and then he was back inside, bag in hand. “Your sister sent this over,” he said. “It’s Gitty’s bag.” “Oh, yeah,” I said. “Thanks.” Then he looked into the bag and gave a tiny exclamation. It was not a happy exclamation. His hand disappeared inside and emerged with a suspiciously shaped piece of silver foil. He unwrapped it, and sure enough, there was Gitty’s uneaten lunch from a few days earlier. It may or may not have amounted to a full slice of bread. “Well, we need to burn this,” he said. “It isn’t Pesach yet, so there’s no covering it or whatever, and it’s too late to throw it out.” He quickly collected a few matches, a pan and some napkins, and burned the chometz right outside our door. And so it was that our family got our very own fire. Welcome to the neighborhood. — Faigy Held

Down the Drain It was Chol Hamoed, and we kids were eagerly looking forward to our relatives’ arrival. True, they weren’t frum, but they knew that Pesach was family time, and they loved coming and munching on matzah with us (along with some more of my mother’s amazing cooking, of course). We waited by the window and ran out to welcome them as soon as the car pulled up. Everyone came inside in high spirits. Calling “Happy Passover!” my uncle grabbed my father and added, “And I brought something special for you!” He proceeded to pull out a lovely gift: a bottle of whiskey, which also happened to be pure chometz. The room got really quiet really fast. My father stood there dumbly, unsure how to react. My mother, afraid my uncle would be hurt and upset, grabbed the bottle and said hastily, “Thank you so much!” She rushed out of the room and hid the bottle with the sold chometz. After the relatives left, my parents called our rav, who said that as the bottle had been in a Yid’s possession during Pesach, it had to be destroyed. My father gathered everyone around and poured the entire bottle down the drain. He said that it was the most expensive biur chometz he’d ever had the zechus to do. — Shayna Stein
Culture Shock It was Pesach of 1925, the first Yom Tov after my great-grandmother, Hinda Schonfeld nee Berman, married her fine yeshiva bochur of a husband from the town of Hanishewitz. They settled into their new life, Oma building her home meticulously with her beautiful, hand-monogrammed linens and towels and perfect pastry and cooking skills; he rising early to learn in the predawn hours and solemnly entering the world of business. Winter passed, Pesach approached, and Oma did everything she had seen her mother and the maids do back home: She cleaned and dusted the house till it shone; soaked, dried and ironed every tablecloth and crocheted doily; and scrubbed the crockery. Once every crumb of chometz was out, she prepared to kasher. Then came the afternoon before bedikas chometz, and her husband came home, holding a small parcel wrapped in paper. A Yom Tov gift? No. To her horror, he unfolded the papers to reveal a piece of bread, which he began to break into pieces that he then distributed on shelves around the house. Chometz! On Erev Pesach! Hinda was beside herself. “Vus far an am ha’aretz hust du far mir getroffen!” the distraught young housewife wailed hysterically to her father. “What kind of am ha’aretz did you marry me off to? He brings bread into the house on Erev Pesach!” “Nein, mamelle... it’s a well-known minhag many people follow, so the bracha on bedikas chometz should not be l’vatalah. Your Shloimeh knows what he’s doing. Trust him.” Trust and respect him she did, for many long and harmonious years. But the family never forgot her sincere horror at the most agonizing of her husband’s minhagim — those ten pieces of bread on Erev Pesach. — Riki Goldstein

Don’t Bite
In Advance
On Chol Hamoed afternoon, I was settling onto the couch for a mini break from the kitchen, holding a square of chocolate in my hand. Inexplicably, instead of popping it into my mouth, I jumped up to take a second look at the wrapper. Lo and behold, the bar we had bought in the Pesach aisle, among its Pesach’dig look-alikes, had no kosher l’Pesach hechsher. I have no idea what pushed me to double check, but I still quiver when I think how close I was to consuming a bite of questionable food on Pesach.
A couple years ago, I hosted a lot of guests for Pesach — a different set for first days and second days and Shabbos Chol Hamoed. The only thing more overwhelming than the cooking was changing the linen over and over. At some point, I was rooting around in the linen closet for yet another set of linen when my hand closed over something wedged tightly inside a folded sheet. I pulled it out, barely registering the ominous crackle of cellophane: It was a pekele from Simchas Torah. Apparently, someone had hidden it in the linen closet for future use. And had then forgotten about it. And now it was Pesach. I have an airtight defense. I had cleaned the linen closet for Pesach. But nowhere does it say you have to unfold and shake out every sheet and pillowcase! My brain knew that halachically I was covered. But my heart still felt deeply chagrined that my months of deep cleaning and Pesach preparations had been outmaneuvered by a four-year-old... on the preceding Sukkos!

Totally Fine I was still a fresh-faced newlywed when our first baby was born at the end of shanah rishonah. A few months later, we went to my in-laws for Pesach. I still thought of myself as a kallah adjusting to a new family and new minhagim, but now I also had a new baby in my arms, and so many more new things to learn. But all new mothers manage, and I would too… right? So there we were, the new chasan-kallah-slash-new-parents, arriving at my in-laws house on Erev Pesach half an hour before the zman in a blaze of glory and cascade of luggage. Is there any moment in the year more stressful than half an hour before the zman on Erev Pesach? Of course, the baby was screaming, so I walked into the kitchen to prepare a bottle. There was a little formula left in the bottle from the previous feeding, so without thinking, I poured it down the sink. Then I remembered it was kitniyos. I just stood there. Could I really tell my new mother-in-law that after all the effort she had put in to clean and kasher, her new daughter-in-law had just flippantly poured kitniyos formula into her kosher l’Pesach kitchen sink? But… how could I not? The anxiety woke up my inner posek. It was just kitniyos, not chometz; it wasn’t hot; it was probably totally fine… right? But eventually my conscience won out. With just minutes to the zman, I whispered to my husband what I had done. Without hesitating, he turned around and said to his father, “What should we do? We poured the kitniyos formula into the sink.” His father paused for an instant and then said, “It’s totally fine. Don’t worry about it.” That baby is now seventeen, and I’ve been making Pesach myself for many years. And even though I’m better versed in the halachos and minhagim now, and I know that it really was fine, I also know how much work goes into making Tom Tov, and how high tensions can run in the lead up to Yom Tov. And every year, about 30 minutes the zman, when I remember the harried new mother and the screaming baby and the kitniyos formula in the kosher l’Pesach sink, I feel grateful and awed at the patriarch of the family, who without missing a beat or making anyone feel bad, absorbed the situation and simply said, “It’s fine.” —Devorah Schechter

Diverging Paths I GREW UP IN A HOME THAT WAS UNDOUBTEDLY HEIMISH — THAT NOTREALLY-LITVISH-BUT-NOT-REALLYCHASSIDISH HYBRID, GARTELS AND NUSACH SEFARD INCLUDED. I never really thought deeply about it. It was the life I was born into, and it was great. Then I entered shidduchim. And learned that I had to think deeply about everything. The black and white issues were easier. I knew the qualities that were most important to me. As for heimish? Well, my family was heimish, so that meant I was, too. And I figured my future husband also would be. Wherever he was. * * * * *
er, and some new ones made from scratch. The interests I pursued and loved — nothing like releasing your angst on a piano. Definitely less fattening than ice cream. * * * * *
Because my family’s affiliation wasn’t clearly defined, we had gotten suggestions ranging from ultra-shtreimel to ultimate-bent down families. When I first entered shidduchim, we hadn’t seriously considered many boys from families that were very different from ours, in either direction. But the fact was that we’d been getting very few suggestions of the in-between type. Eventually, a few years wiser, my parents got a few really good suggestions — all of real Litvish stock. And when they asked me if I would consider a real Litvish boy, I actually shocked myself — and them — by saying that I would. It feels strange to say this, but I feel that Hashem put that clarity into my heart. It was as if my mindset
had simply shifted, with no apparent cause. It was unexplainable, but it was a true turning point. The daas Torah we consulted cemented our decision. Time went on, bringing some more suggestions, many of them Litvish. My parents looked into them wholeheartedly, and my heart was at peace with the path we had chosen. I didn’t look back once. We told shadchanim that we’d be glad to consider a Litvish boy — and honestly, we were. * * * * *

Into the Desert SOME JOURNEYS FIND YOU WELLPREPARED, PACKED AND COGNIZANT OF WHAT YOUR JOURNEY WILL INVOLVE. Other times, you find yourself embarking on a trip you’d never imagined, with no guideposts, no guidebook, and no guide to… well… guide you. That’s really what happened when I married a boy who wanted to stay in learning. I’d never planned that. My family was chozer b’teshuvah during my childhood, and I changed schools several times as my family’s observance grew stronger. We were frum, sure, but marrying someone who wanted to learn in kollel was totally not in the cards for me. My parents were open to it; I wasn’t. I knew exactly what I wanted: I was going to marry a professional (hopefully a doctor), support him through school, and then reap the rewards and benefits of being married to a self-sufficient, well-to-do provider. Yiddishkeit was important to me, and I knew our home would have Shabbos, Torah, and an emphasis on good middos. I knew my husband would go to a shiur and hopefully even make time to learn daily. I davened that he would be a ba’al middos and would have yiras Shamayim. But kollel? Full-time learning? No way. Not for me. Absolutely not. My mother never worked. We thrived on her attention, her presence, her availability. I wanted that for my kids. I wanted my husband to provide materially so I could raise our family. Of course, he’d make enough money to pay for cleaning help, and I would center my days on family and on engaging, stimulating volunteer

work for the klal. I had it all planned out. No matter how many times kollel came up, I remained firm. It wasn’t for me. Honestly, I didn’t even have the tools to appreciate the concept. Nothing in my life had imbued me with the value of Torah learning as a full-time occupation. I most certainly did not want my kids to grow up in poverty and deprivation, didn’t want that for myself, and most certainly did not want to be the breadwinner. But man plans and Hashem laughs. I’m sure He was laughing as I laid out my plans and dreamed my dreams. Somehow, after two years in shidduchim, I met and married my husband. I’m still not quite sure how that happened, seeing as my stand against a learning boy remained unchanged. But he was redt to me, and I was somehow convinced to meet him. He was (and remains) a special person, and I was honored to marry him, to the degree that I was even willing to humor his desire to learn for “as long as possible.” He reassured me that, of course, he would go out to work if we needed him to. After all, he explained, the kesubah clearly outlines a husband’s obliga-
tions toward his wife. Thus reassured, and basking in the light of this incredible person, we got engaged and then married. I knew we’d do it for a year, maybe two, maybe even longer. I was happy to work until I had kids, and my parents and in-laws each tried to help out with rent for a while. And somehow… we’re still here. Over the last ten years, hodu laShem, our family grew, filling me with gratitude and love. I’m still working. My day is split between two parttime jobs, morning and late evening, so that I can be home with my kids when they need me. With Hashem’s help, my husband will never leave learning. He knows it, and I know it. Sometimes it does get overwhelming, and I feel a little like a self-sacrificing soul. Sometimes, I wonder how in the world I am here, living this life, raising this family. But other times… many more times… I look up toward the Ribbono Shel Olam, and I thank Him for the life I am living, the path he charted for me, and the destination he brought me to.
I knew exactly what I wanted: I was going to marry a professional (hopefully a doctor), support him through school, and then reap the rewards

When you set your Seder table, plumping up those pillows and adjusting the gleaming bechers, you should feel quite pleased at the amount of chairs surrounding your table. See, until modern times, chairs required significant carpentry skills and were difficult to source, hence the more economical stools and benches. Should a room contain a chair, the most senior person would be assigned to it, giving us the modern-day parlance “chairman.” The most famous chairs were, of course, the thrones of kings and queens. Given that reality, it’s only a logical progression that the word “throne” is a Greek derivative of the word “chair.” With chairs being rare and reserved for the influential only, the word throne itself came to denote the power behind the country’s highest seat — the sovereign.
A LOOK AT THE WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS CHAIRS
THRONE OF
SHLOMO HAMELECH Period of the Melachim
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, this holds true for Shlomo Hamelech’s throne. Later monarchs and rulers would all try to fashion their thrones after the throne of Shlomo. Rav Chiya taught that Shlomo Hamelech had his throne built with ruach hakodesh, and it resembled the Kisei Hakovod. To ascend the throne, the king used six steps to symbolize the six mitzvos exclusive to a Jewish king. The throne was set with an array of dazzling gemstones that were sourced from multiple lands. At the sides of the steps, golden animals stood sentry. Far ahead of its time, a mechanized system (likely the first of its kind) allowed the animals to support the king’s foot as he ascended to the next step. When Shlomo Hamelech was seated, a golden eagle placed the crown on the king’s head. Rising over the throne was a large menorah of pure gold, sporting cups, knobs and petals that all echoed the design of the menorah in the Beis Hamikdash. Its branches sported engravings of the seven “fathers” of the world: Adam, Noach, Shem, Avrahum Avinu, Yitzchok Avinu, Yaakov Avinu and Iyov. On either side of the throne were two golden chairs, one for the Kohen Gadol and the other for the S’gan Kohen Gadol. Seventy chairs for the Sanhedrin were also provided, all in gold, of course. Countless nissim are attributed to the throne, as portrayed by the meforshim. The throne was the talk of the day among the rulers of the world, who spoke of the throne’s beauty with envy. What happened to this otherworldly throne is well known. When Pharaoh Necho invaded Eretz Yisroel, he took the throne as war booty, but when he attempted to ascend it, the golden lion kicked and injured him (hence the name “necheh,” lame one). Nevuchadnezzar didn’t fare well, either, and his attempt to sit on the throne also ended in failure. When the Persians conquered Bavel, the wondrous throne traveled back with them. King Acheshverosh was determined to sit on the throne, but when he, too, was prevented from doing so by the disgruntled lion, he decided to settle for an imitation. It is unknown what happened to the throne after that time.
If witnesses spoke untruths before the king, the animals would roar, frightening the petitioners into admitting the truth!

GOLDEN THRONE OF
TUTANKHAMUN 1300 BCE King Tutankhamun, better known as King Tut, was the last of the Pharaohs of the 18th dynasty. Colloquially known as the Boy King, Tut ascended to the throne at age eight or nine, and he unexpectedly died at the age of nineteen. As many kings buried in the Valley of Kings in Egypt, King Tut was buried with an astronomical amount of treasure, including golden chariots, jewelry and fabulous clothes, including five hundred pairs of shoes. Most tombs were looted over the centuries, but luckily for modern archaeologists, Tut’s tomb escaped the graverobbers, largely because it was hidden by debris. In 1922, British archeologist Howard Carter and his team discovered the tomb, making waves in the world of archeology. Among the items Tut thought he’d need to use while mummified was his golden throne. More like an armchair than a throne, the chair boasts complex etchings and intricate detail. Two lion heads stand sentry at the seat of the throne, and the arms are fashioned as rearing cobras wearing crowns. The back of Tut’s throne features an image of Tut and his wife, Ankhespaaten (say that three times fast). The royal couple are both bedecked in wigs, and the king is wearing a crown while the queen sports a diadem, a jeweled headband-crown hybrid. The chair ends in four claw-like feet, undoubtedly belonging to those golden lions. Etchings in hieroglyphics have been deciphered to read, “All the great foreign lands are under your sandals.” One wonders if this was before or after Makkas Bechoros. This historical treasure is currently on display in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
Unbelievably, the colors of the etchings in gold have not faded in the three millennia, a testament to the skill of ancient Egyptian artisans.

THE
CORONATION CHAIR 11th century
Don’t be fooled by the lack of precious gems and gold inlay. The Coronation Chair is used by British monarchs upon ascension to the throne, including King Charles’s 2023 coronation. Commissioned in 1296 by King Edward I of England, this rather humble chair is the most valuable piece of furniture in the world. The king originally intended for the throne to be made of bronze, but decided to use timber instead. The original gilding and color have since been lost. Upon closer examination, tracings of foliage, birds and animals are visible. Gold lions were added in the 16th century to the legs of the chair, but were replaced in 1727. Nevertheless, we can’t imagine it as a beautiful piece worthy of a king’s use, as today the chair resembles something out of a carpenter shop of old. Part of the reason is that the chair hasn’t been treated too well. For a small price, 18th century tourists were able to feel like a king for a moment and sit on the monarch’s chair, and mischievous students etched their initials and other graffiti into its wood. One cheeky tourist etched, “P. Abbot slept in this chair 5–6 July 1800” on the seat. Sir Gilbert Scott, a famed architect, bemoaned the chair as “a magnificent piece of decoration, but sadly mutilated.” The chair was even the object of an attempted bomb attack, though it emerged largely unscathed. The chair has only left its home in the Westminster Abbey twice: once for a ceremony inducting Oliver Cromwell as Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England, and during World War Two, when it was removed to protect it from German air raids. While not built for coronations, the infamous King Henry IV definitely used it for his 1399 coronation. It has been used for coronations since.
When the wife of the king, known as the queen consort, is crowned, she uses a similar throne, but at a lower height. Seems that even the king’s wife needs to know who is boss.

THE
DRAGON THRONE 15th century
Located in the center of the Forbidden City in Beijing, China, sits the Dragon Throne. The Forbidden City was the home of Chinese emperors and their households for almost five hundred years. It also served as the seat of the Chinese government and was off-limits to outsiders. The Dragon Throne is thought to have been built sometime during the Ming dynasty in the 1400s. Along the top of the throne are great dragons, presumably leering at visitors to remind them who held the keys to the kingdom. Prior to entering the throne room, visitors passed through a series of gates and passages, designed to evoke awe, and courtiers were ordered to prostrate themselves nine times before addressing the monarch. No longer barred to visitors, the Dragon Throne as well as the Forbidden City (now a UNESCO Heritage Site) are visited by thousands of tourists yearly. The Dragon Throne has undergone several restorations over time that may have altered the original look.
The term Dragon Throne has also come to be metamorphically associated with the power behind the throne: the ruling family and the monarchy itself.

THE
PEACOCK THRONE 17th century
The image is a replica; the original no longer exists.
The Peacock Throne, built in 1628, was a standout piece even in an era that gave us the Taj Mahal. It was the seat of power for the kingdom of Hindustan, which stretched across much of the Indian subcontinent, and was the de facto empire ruling much of the East. Even in an era renowned for its culture and architecture, the Peacock Throne was a singularly elaborate throne. The cost is estimated to have exceeded double the price of the Taj Mahal, known as the most opulent palace at that time. Shah Jahan, the ruler who commissioned the throne and the Taj Mahal (apparently, frugality wasn’t his thing), envisioned it resembling the famous throne of Shlomo Hamelech, portraying him as a just, upright king. He envisioned a throne where the ruler would be touching the heavens. It took seven years and enormous quantities of gold, pearls and precious gems to build, and the end result was the envy of kings and princes worldwide. The standout feature were the dancing peacocks fanning out
The Peacock Throne used an estimated 2,500 pounds of gold!

The Monsey View
in the back of the throne, hence its name, and only a rare few ministers, courtiers and visiting dignitaries were permitted to see the throne, lending it an aura of mystique. A paean of praise to the “throne of the just king” was inscribed on the throne in emerald and green enamel. Poet Abu-Talib Kalim was paid six pieces of gold for each verse in the poem. Likewise, the emperor wasn’t stingy with the builder of the throne, who received his payment in the form of his weight in gold. (Let’s hope, for his sake, that he wasn’t a thin, wiry man.) A series of military defeats led to the invasion and plundering of Delhi 1739 by Nadir Shah, the Shah of Iran. The throne was taken along with Nadir Shah as the ultimate war trophy. When Nadir Shah was assassinated by his own officers in 1747, the Peacock Throne disappeared, likely dismantled for its inestimable value. Some of the largest stones later found their way into the Iranian crown jewels.

THE
IVORY THRONE 16th century
This beautiful throne was erected by Ivan IV of Russia, who ruled from 1533 to 1584, declaring himself the Russian Czar in 1547 at the tender age of 16. This throne is fashioned of ivory and wood and is striking in its detailed etchings and craftsmanship. The ivory pieces — of which there are 100 — used in the throne’s construction were prized for their beauty and versatility. (Apparently, conservation and protection of animals was not in vogue back then.) The throne features intricate gold etchings, a silver canopy and gold-embroidered cushions. A carving of a lion rounded out the imperial image of a man you didn’t want to cross. Ivan IV is also known as Ivan the Terrible. While lauded for his accomplishments as a great reformer, Ivan came by his moniker rather honestly, as he was a ruthless tyrant who didn’t mind murdering his own citizens. As he aged, his mental health deteriorated markedly, and he even murdered his own son and heir in a fit of rage. In any event, if you want to see this magnificent tribute to master workmanship, you’ll have to visit the Kremlin Armory in Moscow, which we at The Monsey View do not recommend.
Apparently, Ivan the Terrible was paranoid about a lot of things. The Ivory Throne was designed with hidden compartments and drawers where documents and valuables could be stored.

EARLY INTERVENTION CLASSROOM
THE
NADER THRONE Early 19th century
Unfortunately, traveling to see this throne is not on our bucket list due to the State Department Level Four Advisory categorizing the country where the Nader Throne is located as Do Not Travel. The Nader Throne is located in Tehran, Iran, in the national treasury of Iran’s Central Bank. It’s easy to see why the Nader Throne is classified as a national treasure for Iranians. Built upon the orders of Fat’h-Ali Shah Qajar, the second Shah of Iran, it resembles a chair more than a traditional, platformed throne. The wood-based, gold-covered masterpiece features exactly 26,733 jewels of every sort. And these are not the sort of jewels you’d see at Simpson’s; four spinels (a rare, brick-red gemstone) decorate the backrest, the largest of them weighing in at 65 carats. It also has giant emeralds, the heftiest of them weighing around 225 carats. The largest ruby weighs in at a modest 35 carats. Various animal motifs decorate the throne, including lions, peacocks, ducks, beasts, and, for some reason, dragons. While Iran did have a very famous Nader Shah, this throne is not named after him. Rather, the word “nadir” is a Persian word meaning “rare” or “unique.” The throne was last used for the 1967 coronation of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who was summarily deposed during the Iranian Revolution of 1979.
The Nader Throne was designed to be portable, built as twelve modular pieces. You wouldn’t expect the Shah to travel without his throne as he summers at his various palaces, would you? You take along your pillow when you vacation, no? Same difference.

THE
GOLDEN CRADLE IN THE
TOPKAPI PALACE 16th century
This segment does not feature a throne, but rather the cradle of the future heir to the throne. This magnificent piece of art is 103 centimeters long, and is covered in… wait for it… gold, of course. The craftsmanship and beauty of the piece are unrivaled, inlaid with precious gemstones and lined with purple velvet, all for a baby. It also features eight swaddling sticks, aparently used way before the Aishes Chayil swaddle was a thing. These sticks are encrusted with diamonds, rubies and emeralds. It is assumed the creation was used during the Cradle Ceremony, always held to celebrate the birth of a child of the Sultan. Such lavish ceremonies were useful to cement the status of the child born. Lucky child, you say? While we don’t know who exactly slept in that cradle, the choices are not all that great: Was it perhaps Prince Msutafa, who was killed by his madman father? Or his brother, Prince Cihangir, who died that same year of heartbreak? Or perhaps Prince Beyazid, who escaped his wrathful brother? Or a charming fellow named Prince Selim the Blond who managed to reach the throne, but only after murdering his brothers on the way to the crown?

A step-by-step guide for first-timers Many people get anxious before Pesach. There are so many different components that have to come together all at once to make one beautiful Yom Tov. In addition to cleaning the entire house, we have to outfit the family, kasher the kitchen, buy all the food, cook a minimum of eight meals — often without the shortcuts we’re accustomed to — and put together the Seder. However, as with any other task that seems overwhelming, when broken down into small parts, it becomes much more manageable, and even enjoyable, as preparing for Yom Tov should be.

The single most helpful tool I have ever purchased
for Pesach was a notebook. That should be the first thing you buy and the first thing you take out every year before you get started on Pesach prep. Jot down anything you find helpful or important — even if you’re sure you’ll remember. You can’t rely on memory alone after a full year passes. Write down the quantities of the ingredients you bought (matzah, eggs, sugar, potato starch, cocoa) and the amounts of food you made (cakes, kugels, lokshen). Don’t forget to go back after Yom Tov to record how much you actually used. If you have cleaning help, note the hours that you found worked best. Putting down the time you got to Shulchan Orech is nice, too, since this will tell you when you should be starting to warm up your food; you don’t want all your delicious Yom Tov food dried out because you underesti- The single most helpful mated the amount of tool I have ever divrei Torah at Maggid! Once you have your purchased for Pesach notebook, it’s time to ask your husband and/ is a notebook. or in-laws about any unique minhagim you may have. This way, you’re not caught off-guard at the last minute. For example, find out which vegetable you use for karpas, how your family prepares the zeroa, and what your minhag is in regard to meat at the Seder and how to cook it. Add that to your notebook, and start a shopping list that will include any items they tell you you’ll need.
As soon as you have a Pesach-clean area in which to store things, you can start buying and toiveling non-food items. Try to do this as far in advance as you can, when the stores are not yet packed with the Erev Yom Tov crowds. Remember to give yourself a lot of time for toiveling as it tends to be more time-consuming than you anticipate. At this point you should also make sure your husband’s kittel is clean (or send it to the cleaners).
The week of Pesach is when the fun really begins. Take a deep breath;
we’re going to break it up, and you’ll be amazed at how calm you can feel. A few days before Yom Tov, you can make a trip to the grocery to buy the eggs, vegetable for karpas, charoses ingredients, the zeroa and horseradish for marror. While many families like to set the Seder table well in advance, this year, Pesach begins on Motzaei Shabbos, so this may not be practical. But if you aren’t using your dining room for the last-minute chometz seudos, and it’s out of the way and the kids can be kept out, it’s a great feeling to have it done early. However, if you’ll need to use your dining room on Shabbos, or if it’s a hightraffic area, setting the table before Shabbos won’t be doable. Whenever you do set the table, don’t forget to put out the pillows for leaning. The romaine lettuce should be purchased later on in the week, preferably the day before Erev Yom Tov, to make sure it’s as fresh as possible. It’s very important that the lettuce be very dry when you put it into the refrigerator. The dryer it is, the fresher it will stay. Layer the lettuce in paper towels, and put those into Ziploc bags to keep them dry until you use them. This is also the day to boil your eggs, prepare the zeroa, cook the karpas, create the saltwater and make the charoses. Sounds like a lot, but each of those things takes just a couple of minutes, and you’ll be very happy the next day knowing they’re all taken care of.
This year, Seder night falls out on Motzaei Shabbos, and sof zman
biur is on Shabbos. Therefore, treat Erev Shabbos like it’s Erev Pesach, and do everything you would normally do on Erev Pesach. Grating the marror can be done in the food processor or by hand. If you choose to do it by hand, an easy shortcut is to use a grater that has an attached container to catch the pieces, which you can then just cover and store. Some people want the marror to be very sharp, in which case you should cover it tightly right away and put it into the refrigerator. If your family prefers it a little more mild, you should leave it uncovered on the counter for a few hours before putting it away, as exposure to air draws out the pungency of the horseradish. Once this is done, wind up any last-minute cooking. Normally you’d use some time on Erev Pesach to rest; while Shabbos Erev Pesach is complicated, the perk is that you get to rest on Shabbos and come to the Seder feeling fresh and ready. The halacha is that you may sleep on Shabbos so you’ll be rested for the Seder, but you may not verbalize your intentions (i.e., you may not say, “I’m going to nap now so I won’t be tired at the Seder”). Following these steps should really ease the stress often associated with making Pesach. You may even find yourself being the one giving out the tips next year!

Pesach is just around the bend. B’ezras Hashem, this Motzei Shabbos, we’ll all sit down to the Seder. Somehow, everyone makes it to the finish line. Some more stressed, some less stressed. Some with walls washed, some without. Some with more cakes, some with fewer cakes. Yet hopefully, all with the same good feeling of having completed a job well done.

IN TRIBUTE TO A TRUE EVED HASHEM,
RAV DOVID WOLPIN ZT’L Rav Dovid was a talmid chochom who had a tremendous ahavas hatorah and clarity in all that he learned, a Yid who pulsated with true yiras shomayim and unusual chavivus and dikduk hamitzvos. His davening, his kriyas shema, were a sight to behold, as he elucidated every word with such sweetness.
A GENUINE CONNECTION Rav Dovid’s simchas hachaim and intense connection to every Yid was repeated over and over by those who were fortunate enough to know him. Many stressed his complete disinterest in gashmiyus, or mundane matters. “He had a razor-sharp memory, and a special connection with his relatives,” recalled a niece. “He loved people, and loved doing for them. Though he was kulo ruchniyus, other people mattered to him. He would call me on my children’s birthdays and I would marvel at how he managed to remember them all. Everyone’s simcha was his own simcha. He would ask me about all my relatives, and if I didn’t remember something, he’d gently chide me, ‘You are sleeping on the job!’ Rav Dovid together with his Rebbitzin, made over 60 shidduchim, including many talmidim, and derived intense joy from every wedding. “ Luxuries were anathema to him. As his daughter expressed, “We lived in a small home on Saddle River Road, which hadn’t been renovated or updated in decades, but that didn’t matter. Everyone felt welcome around our table, because of the uplifting atmosphere. We didn’t have many luxuries, growing up, but we were the happiest kids. “I don’t think my father ever ate a slice of pizza in his life. He said it was an Italian food, and had no shaychus to him. In general, he didn’t take much pleasure in food, and barely remembered what he ate. He was careful about yoshon, about what went into his mouth, and even more about the words that came out of his mouth. “He was such a loving, devoted father, yet he didn’t treat us with kid gloves. There were no compromises when it came to Yiddishkeit. If we fell asleep without saying birchas hamazon on Friday night, he would wake us up to remind us to bentch. One year, I wasn’t feeling well on Taanis Esther and wanted to break my fast. When I called my father he suggested to me, ‘Why don’t you lie down instead?’ “He didn’t notice if someone was wealthy or dressed well. These things were completely irrelevant; they had no shaichus to him. The real things mattered, Torah and mitzvos and the pnimiyus of every person. All he saw was every Yid’s neshomoh. “He lived with the yomim tovim. On Rosh Hashanah, you could sense his yiras cheit; on Sukkos his inner simcha radiated from his essence. Chanukah was marked by tremendous dveikus, while 432

on Purim he drank to fulfill the mitzvah, while Pesach was malchus personified. Each Shabbos table was an elevated event. “He connected with everyone regardless of where they came from,” added a son. “His talmidim from fifty years ago recalled the maseches they learned with him, which was ingrained in their kishkes. He didn’t sell ‘feel good’ kiruv. Instead, he was the champion of authentic Yiddishkeit, and they gravitated to that, sensing the emes. “On one occasion, there was a meeting for one of the mosdos where he was involved in. The Yeshiva invited some parents together with some of its supporters. A member of the administration expressed that it was hard to run a mosad when most of the parentbody were aniim. My father banged on the table and said, ‘I know what an ashir is, and what an oni is. Our chachomim teach us, ‘ayzehu ashir hasomeach b’chelko.’ Our parent body is satisfied with whatever we have. They are the true ashirim!’
EARLY ROOTS Rav Dovid’s lifetime of avodas Hashem began during his early childhood. He was born in 1943 to his parents, Reb Ephraim Benzion and Kaila (nee Krasnitzky,) who lived in Seattle, Washington. What were the Wolpins doing in Seattle? As described by a grandson, during those difficult times, Zeide Ephraim Benzion refused to work on Shabbos, which often meant the family would starve. When he was offered a position as a melamed in a Talmid Torah in Seattle, which was then home to a large Jewish community (with kehillos led by Rav Levine, Rav Boruch Schapiro, and Rav Vogelander) he eagerly accepted. The Zeide and Bubbe traveled by train, an exhausting, three day journey from the east coast. They settled in Seattle, remaining there for thirty years and raising their children there. Although they had minimal parnossa and were quite a distance from the major Jewish centers of the time, the Wolpins raised a Torah-observant family with true mesiras nefesh. The children went to a local school in the morning, and learned with their father during the afternoons. As the older sons, including Reb Michoel, Reb Chaim Boruch, Reb Nisson reached age 15 or 16, they were sent by train to Torah Vodaas, where they learned in yeshiva, coming home only once
or twice a year. Young Dovid, besides learning at the Talmid Torah, would spend leisure time learning with his Rav, Rav Boruch Shapiro, (a talmid of Rav Meir Simcha of Dvinsk and the Rogachover Gaon) and his father. Many times, father and son would board a city bus to the local park, where they would sit with a gemara and learn for hours. Reb Ephraim Benzion was such a talented melamed that his son, Dovid, finished many maseches in shas before his bar mitzvah! At that point, with most of their children already settled in New York, the Wolpins made the momentous decision to move. They arrived in New York, settling in Williamsburg, and eleven year old Dovid aced his farher on the entire nach and many rishonim at Torah Vodaas. He was one of the youngest talmidim in the mesivta of Torah Vodaas. As Rav Yisroel Simcha Schorr recalled, “I was with Rav Dovid from when he was a young boy, newly arrived from Seattle. It was summertime, and we were both spending the summer in Monsey. It was the year before Bais Shraga opened, and Rav Shea Schiff made a small classroom of three boys—including myself, Rav Dovid, and another boy, and we learned together on the porch of Bais Medrash Elyon. “A year later, we both had our bar mitzvahs. I remember that he walked from Williamsburg to Crown Heights for my Shabbos bar mitzvah, a walk of over an hour. I never forgot that walk!” The Rosh Yeshiva remained close with Rav Wolpin, both of them living on Saddle River Road for decades. “He had no ritzonos for olam hazeh,” the Rosh Yeshiva expressed. “He was a Rebbi in Breuers, and then in Kol Yaakov, a true marbitz Torah in every sense of the word. He davened all the years in Tiferes Gedalya and Bais Medrash Elyon, standing before the amud with such varemkeit. He continued davening neilah for us even last year, despite his age, standing throughout the tefillah until the end.”
A TRUE REBBI After his marriage some six decades ago, in 1965, to his aishes chayil, Chava, (nee Bursztyn, daughter of the renowned Dr. Naftali Hertzel Bursztyn of Williamsburg,) the young couple settled in Monsey, where he learned in Bais Medrash Elyon alongside a generation of Torah giants. They raised their eleven children, seven sons and four daughters, in a humble home on Saddle River Road, which miraculously had room not only for their large family, but for dozens of guests and those who had nowhere to stay. He forged a close connection with Rav Yaakov Kamenetsky, consulting with him frequently, as well as other prominent Monsey Torah personalities, such as Rav Mordechai Schwab, Rav Gedaliah Schorr and Rav Shmelka Taubenfeld. From 1970-1985, Rav Dovid was a Mesivta Rebbi in Yeshiva Rav Shamshon Rafael Hirsch in Washington Heights, becoming close to renowned personalities such as Rabbi Joseph Elias, impacting a generation of talmidim. He wasn’t
just their Rebbi—connecting with them in a deep and lasting manner. Many of his talmidim, who graduated from Rav Dovid’s class over fifty years ago, kept up an enduring kesher until his untimely petirah last week. His Rebetzin, Chava, was a mechaneches for many years, and the beloved, longtime principal of Bais Rochel High School. When Yeshivas Kol Yaakov opened its doors in the early 1980’s, Rav Dovid joined the staff, becoming a beloved Rebbi in 1985. For the next 25 years Rav Dovid was not just a Rebbi, but a father to hundreds of young men, not only teaching and guiding them, but marrying them off and walking them to the chupah. His involvement in his bochurim didn’t end at their marriage— but continued, as he attended their children’s brisin, helped them enroll in yeshivos, and remained their primary Rebbi throughout the years. “He wasn’t just a Rebbi who doled out compliments and made everyone feel good, though he did that too,” recalled a former talmid. “Rav Dovid mohned from us. He made us learn, helped us grow, and gave us the geshmak of Torah. This was not watereddown learning. It was the real thing.” “He was my ninth grade Rebbi in Breuers,” said another talmid. “I had my struggles, and Rebbi was so encouraging. Several years passed, and I visited him in Monsey. It was as if we had remained in touch all this time—Rebbi wanted to know everything about me, and took me under his wing. I remained his talmid, from when I was a bar mitzvah boy through today, when I am in my sixties. I consider him my primary Rebbi.” “From the moment I met Rav Dovid in Kol Yaakov, I knew I found my Rebbi,” echoed Reb Binyomin Segal, today a wellknown therapist in Lakewood. “He wasn’t just my Rebbi, he was a father to me. I appreciated his humor, his smile, his love for Torah, and his love for every Yid. “He cared about me, and about my growth, constantly encouraging me to learn more, to reach my potential,” Binyomin recalled. “During my yeshiva years I craved a family structure, and found it at the Wolpin home. It was the most ‘chilled’ place to be on this planet. Even after I left Kol Yaakov to learn in Chaim Berlin he remained my primary Rebbi. When I was in shidduchim I would discuss every shidduch prospect with him, and he encouraged me to aim higher.

“Rav Dovid was involved in my shidduch, and had such nachas at my vort. He remained my Rebbi, my guiding light, throughout the years. I looked forward to visting him and getting a ‘knip’ on my cheek from Rebbi. “Throughout all the years as we raised our children, we had Rebbi’s constant encouragement, understanding, advising and guiding. I took it for granted and it was a feeling of ‘he got me, he understood me.’ He saw your maalos and he also saw what you struggled with. “It finally dawned on me at the levaya that I wasn’t the only one who experienced that special, special feeling of love that Rebbi was so... so good at giving. You know, there are times I would call Rabbi Wolpin, and I didn’t speak often, maybe like once a week or sometimes once in three weeks. And in the beginning of the conversation, he would pick up the thread from the conversation beforehand. He knew my children, and he cared. He wanted to know, what’s happening with them now? How are they doing? And if there was an issue that was really bothering me, he listened. He was just addicted to the positive. “Rebbi was able to spin everything and focus on the positive, with a lot of love, a lot of warmth. And truth be told, when I would call, throughout the years, Rabbi Wolpin and Rebbetzin Wolpin, I felt like they had one voice. If Rabbi Wolpin wasn’t available, I could say the same question, I would ask Mrs. Wolpin, and I felt like she would give me the same answer that Rabbi Wolpin would give. “He was always very present, enjoying the moment, not worried about the future. He was always thankful, always grateful, his emunah was so real. He refused to get drawn into machlokes. He stayed above that and focused only on the good in people. “Today, I am a therapist in private practice. In my office, I have only one picture; that of myself and my Rebbi, escorting me to the chupah. And every time I have an intake for a new client, I point to the picture and say, ‘I wish you would have a Rebbi like I had!’ “ Before each of his four daughters went into the chinuch field, Rabbi Wolpin reiterated to them the importance of treating each student as a ‘mamma’s ah kind,’ a mother’s child. He reminded them that a skilled mechanches is one who teaches each child based on her potentials and capabilities and not to just be focused on the gifted students.
SUNSET Throughout his years in chinuch, Rav Dovid’s warmth and ability to connect with everyone he met endeared him to a generation of talmidim. He was a person who stayed far from machlokes, running away from discord like from a fire! He had the ability to listen to two sides of every story and empathize with everyone. He could connect to everyone from all walks of life, from elderly Yidden to young children who instinctively gravitated to his warmth. He was a dedicated Zeidy not just to his numerous einiklach, but to his great-nephews and great-nieces, and the children of his talmidim, shepping nachas from all their accomplishments, taking part in their milestones. Each grandchild secretly thought that he/she was Zaidy’s favorite. The devotion and involvement in his grandchildren’s lives were truly rare. No matter what stage you were in, be it a young schoolgirl, a bar mitzvah boy, or a young adult in shidduchim, he was always inquiring about us and interested in what we were up to. He shepped such nachas from his grandchildren and great grandchildren, and outwardly expressed this to us. Many of his grandsons had the zechus to learn one on one with their dear Zaidy. He’d always inquire about what they were up to in learning and would have something to add on the sugya. Anytime a grandchild would have a report or project on Chumash or Nach, Zaidy would be our go-to for the sources. He left us a yerushah of what it means to serve Hashem with inner joy. Regardless of the circumstances, Zaidy always had a good word and would brighten up anyone’s spirits. Five years ago, shortly before Covid, Rav Dovid suffered a serious stroke and was hospitalized for many months, spending several weeks in a coma. During this time, his dedicated aishes chayil remained at his side, not leaving the hospital as the ward was shut down during Covid. When he was transferred to Baltimore, based on his prognosis, his family thought it was going to be a one-way trip, yet he merited a miraculous recovery. Rav Dovid continued learning and teaching Torah with the same youthful vigor, until his tragic accident several weeks ago, when he was hit by a car as he was crossing the street near his home. Sadly, he never recovered, and was niftar last Tuesday morning, the third of Nissan. The levaya was held that day at Bais Medrash Tiferes Gedalya, followed by kevurah at the Monsey Bais Olam. Rav Dovid was survived by his Rebetzin, Mrs. Chava Wolpin, the longtime principal of Bais Rochel High School, and his children, all renowned marbitzei Torah: including Rav Moshe Chaim, Rav in Khal Adas Yeraim, Queens; Rav Yitzchok; Rav Naftali; Rav Yoissy; Rav Ephraim Ben Tzion; Rav Shlomo; and Rav Shalom Boruch, as well as his daughters and sons-in-law: Rav Mordechai Helberg, married to Rivka Rochel; Rav Avrohom Meyer married to Dina; Rav Nosson Fassman; was married to Sara Chana a’h; and Rav Moshe Lowy, married to Miriam Leah, all prominent marbitzei Torah, as well as numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and hundreds of talmidim who follow in his lofty path.

BACK IN THE CAVE, WHEN I FELL INTO THE ABYSS… WHY?!
WHY WHAT?
WHY DID YOU SAVE ME? YOU ALREADY KNEW I WAS YOUR FATHER AND BROTHER’S ENEMY.
A JEW SAVES A JEW.
BUT YOU’RE A JEW. SO…?
A FEW WEEKS LATER:
ZUSHA! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! HOW?! YOU WENT TO FIND A TREASURE AND CAME BACK WITH AN EVEN GREATER ONE!
BARUCH HABA! WELCOME HOME!
WELL? WERE YOU SUCCESSFUL?
NO. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO TREASURE AFTER ALL.
HOW ARE THE IMMIGRANTS DOING?
NOT VERY WELL.
WRITTEN & ILLUSTRATED BY: BATSHEVA HAVLIN
RECAP: AFTER THE HOUSE COLLAPSES, ZUSHA RESCUES PEDRO. ZUSHA REUNITES WITH HIS FAMILY, BUT PEDRO STILL STRUGGLES WITH HIS OLD WAYS — THOUGH SOMETHING INSIDE OF HIM HAS SHIFTED.
SOME IMMIGRANTS DIED FROM TYPHOID, AND NOW THEIR FAMILIES ARE DETERMINED TO STAY ON THE LAND NEAR THE RAILWAY STATION. THE GOVERNMENT APPROVED IT, BUT THEY NEED A LOT OF RESOURCES AND MORE FUNDS. IF THEY CONTINUE LIVING IN THESE CONDITIONS, CHAS V’SHALOM, ANOTHER DISEASE IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.
IT’S JUST LIKE THAT LINE WE SAW IN THAT INSCRIPTION: “SHIVISI HASHEM L’NEGDI TAMID — THE GREATEST TREASURE IS WITHIN YOU… AT THE END OF THE WORLD.” THAT ARTWORK LOOKED SO FAMILIAR.
C R EEE AAK
HEY! I KNOW WHERE WE SAW THAT INSCRIPTION BEFORE, MICHAEL!
MESSENGERS WERE SENT TO EUROPE FOR HELP, BUT UNTIL THEY RETURN… I MUST SAY, THE EMUNAH OF THESE IMMIGRANTS IS INCREDIBLE. THEY NEVER STOP DAVENING AND BELIEVING IN HASHEM’S KINDNESS.
SOMEWHERE DEEP INSIDE THE LOST CITY:
!
EXCELLENT! PEDRO! THANKS FOR DOING THE WORK FOR US.

Vernal is a formal adjective that describes something that relates to or occurs in the spring. There is nothing quite as vernal as Pesach!
SO RANDOM! The spaceflight company Space Perspective is already selling seats on Spaceship Neptune, which is launched by balloon that gently sends it up to the stratosphere and lands with a parachute-like mechanism on the ocean. The first test flight took place in September 2024, with another few uncrewed test flights scheduled. The maiden crewed flight is targeted for sometime this year, and commercial flights are expected to begin in 2026. More than 1,800 tickets have already been sold at the price of $125,000 a seat.

מתמידים רב הצעיר איז:
וואס איז דאס "מתמידים רב הצעיר"?
■ וויאזוי ארבעט דער פראגראם פון "מתמידים רב הצעיר"? דער פראגראם ארבעט אז יעדעס קינד וואס איז איינגעשריבן אין די מתמידים באקומט יעדע 4וואכן אויף די פאסט א 'מתמידים געצייג פעקל' בייגעלייגט א USBמיט הערליך קלארע שיעורים אינם ספר קיצור שו"ע פאר די קומענדיגע 4וואכן ,און נאך רייכע בייגעלייגטע הילף געצייג ,א לוח ,טבלאות ,בילדער אויב פעלט זיך אויס פאר די שיעורים. אזוי אויך פון צייט צו צייט שיקט מען אויך אינעם פעקל א 'סורפרייס מתנה' ,קלענערע געשאנקען וואס אלע תלמידים צוגלייך ערהאלטן, צומאל וועט די געשאנק האבן א באזונדערע שייכות מיט די לימודים וועלכע מען לערנט יעצט.
■ וויאזוי גייען צו די שיעורים? די שיעורים ווערן פארגעלערנט דורכ'ן חשוב'ן לאנג-יאריגער מרביץ תורה ומייסד המכון הרב ר' יואל חנני' פריעדמאן שליט"א -מו"ל ספרי קיצור שולחן ערוך המבואר אין אידיש ,און מיט א זעלטענע קלארקייט געבט ער צו פארשטיין פאר די צעירי הצאן די שווערסטע און קאמפלעצירטע הלכות אויף א גאלדענעם טאץ.
■ ווילאנג געדויערט א שיעור פאר א טאג? די שיעורים דויערן ארום 15מינוט א טאג.
■ וויאזוי ווייסט דאס קינד יעדן טאג וויפיל ער דארף לערנען? אינעם חודש'ליכן 'געצייג פעקל' באקומט יעדעס קינד א אויגפארכאפענדע 'לוח' וואס ווייזט אן דעם תלמיד וויפיל סעיפים מ'לערנט אויף יעדן טאג ,און וועלכע סעיפים עס ווערן גע'חזר'ט.
■ ס'מאכט זיך ספעציעלע הלכות ווי למשל הלכות מזוזה ,מליחה ,תפילין א.ד.ג .וואס פעלט זיך אויס בילדער צו פארשטיין ,וואס טוט מען ביי אזא פאל? טאקע ביי אזעלכע הלכות באקומען די תלמידים אין זייער 'געצייג פעקל' שיינע קלארע בילדער געמאלן דירעקט פאר קיצור שו"ע ,אז עס שפירט זיך פארן תלמיד ווי דער מלמד זיצט מיט זיי אין כיתה און מאלט זיי אויס אויפן טאוועל א בילד צום פארשטיין.
א קנאקעדיגע סיסטאמאטישע מתמידים ,וואס האט במשך די לעצטע צען יאר ארויסגעגעבן פילע 'רבנים צעירים' קליינע תלמידי חכמים'לעך ,וואו יעדעס אינגל ווערט בקי אין די מינימאלע וויכטיגע הלכות פון ד' חלקי שו"ע דורך אדורכלערנען דעם גאנצן ספר 'קיצור שולחן ערוך' ,און נעמט ארויס אויף למעשה די הלכות וויאזוי א איד דארף זיך צו פירן טאג טעגליך ,סיי ביים אויפשטיין ,סיי ביים דאווענען ,סיי ביים האנדלן און סיי ביי כשרות האכילה א.א.וו.
וויאזוי האט א טאטע געזאגט? דער חידוש פון רב הצעיר איז" ,איך באקום א פריוואטע נאכמיטאג מלמד פאר מיין זון פאר די פרייז פון א מתמידים"...
■ וויאזוי ארבעט די בחינות \חזרות? אינעם לוח זענען דא ספעציעלע קעסטלעך ,וואו מ'פילט אויס יעדן טאג וואס מ'האט געלערנט און גע'חזר'ט .צו דעם קומט מיט יעדע סוף 4וואכן א בחינה וואו די תלמידים ווייזן ארויס זייערע אויסצייכענונגען. דערנאך איז פארהאן א ספעציעלע סדר חזרה אויף די לימודים ,די הנהלה שטעלט אויס פאר יעדן תלמיד א מסודר'דיגע מהלך פון חזרה ווי מ'חזר'ט די היינטיגע ,די נעכטיגע ,פון א וואך פריער ,און סוף חודש פון דעם גאנצן חודש ,סוף זמן פון דעם גאנצן זמן און אזוי ווייטער ,אזוי אז ס'בלייבט איינגעקריצט די לימודים אויף שפעטער אויך.
■ וואס שטיפט די קינדער מיטצוהאלטן דעם פראגראם? דער אמת איז אז דער עיקר וואס שטופט זיי איז דער פאקט וואס די קינדער זעהן מיט די אויגן אז זיי ווערן א "רב הצעיר" איבערנאכט ,זיי קענען הלכה! און דאס ברענגט א געוואלדיגע שמחה ,ווען א אינגל ווייסט וואס ער האט צו טוען ,און ער באקומט א ידיעה אין אלע חלקי התורה, ער ווייסט וויאזוי מ'לייגט אויף א מזוזה \ וויאזוי מ'זאלצט פלייש \ הלכות בשר בחלב \ דם \ וואס מיינט דאס 'היתר עיסקא' \ ווען איז דא אונאה און גניבת דעת \ און נאך ברענגט עס אים גרויס סיפוק און הנאה.
■ איז דא אויך א פראגראם אין מתן שכרה בצידה ,וואס זאל געבן א שטופ פארן אינגל צו גיין ווייטער? וואס רעדטסו ,נאך ווי א פראגראם! 'רב הצעיר' איז דער פיאנער זייענדיג פון די ערשטע מתמידים'ס אויפן פראנט וואס האט אוועקשטעלט דעם מהלך פון סיסטעמאטישע מתמידים'ס מיט גרויסע מתנות. אויסער די גורלות אויף שיינע מתנות און ספרים יעדע חודש' ,באקומט' יעדער תלמיד זיינע פארדינטע מתנות דורך זיך צוזאמזאמלען "פוינטס" פארן קענען די בחינות און פארן מיטהאלטן די חזרות.
■ וויפיל יאר נעמט ביז ווען מען קען שוין דעם גאנצן ספר 'קיצור שולחן ערוך'
■ אויב א קינד פארשטייט נישט עפעס ,אדער ער וויל צוברייטערן א הלכה? פאר דעם צוועק איז געווארן צוגעשטעלט א קנעפל אויפן ספעציעלן 'מתמידים טעלעפאן ליין' ,וואו די תלמידים טוען זיך דירעקט פארבינדן צום מגי"ש שליט"א וואס קלארט זיי אויס אלע זייערע שאלות. דאס איז איינע פון די ספעציעלקייטן פון אונזער מתמידים ,די אייגנארטיגע קשר וואס פארמירט זיך צווישן דעם מגי"ש און די תלמידים. עלטערן וועלכע פלעגן נעמען פאר זייערע קינדער נאך חדר פריוואטע מלמדים ,האבן געזען אז ביי אונזער מתמידים האבן די מעלות צוגלייך ווי ווען דער מגי"ש זאל ווען זיין דעם קינד'ס פריוואטע מלמד ,דער תלמידים טוען זיך כסדר פארבינדן מיטן מגי"ש ,אזוי אויך דער מגי"ש רופט כסדר די תלמידים באגלייטן וואו זיי האלטן מיט די לימודים ,און מחזק זיין צו גיין ווייטער.
