Sandy Boyer li ed the receiver and listened for a moment. “Sorry,” she said, for the tenth time that morning. “Mr. Weinfeld cannot be disturbed.” As she returned the phone to her desk, Sandy glanced over at Mr. Weinfeld’s closed o ce door. She had been his receptionist for over ten years and in all that time, she had never seen her boss look so concerned. e o ce was like a morgue this morning. Hunched over his desk, David Weinfeld heard footsteps in the corridor. He knew who it was before the door opened. Sandy wouldn’t have let anyone else in today, a er his strict instructions. Still, he waited a few minutes before looking up from his computer. Albert Silverstein stood in the doorway, displaying his usual engaging smile. “Ready for lunch, David?” he asked cheerfully. en, catching sight of David’s furrowed brow and slumped posture, he inched back uncertainly. "Anything wrong?" “Wrong?” David echoed. What was wrong? Everything was wrong. David didn’t even know where to start. It was tempting to ask Albert’s advice, but David knew that this was something he had to handle himself. “No, nothing’s wrong,” he nally said. Albert looked at him dubiously. “Did you say something about lunch?” David said, in an e ort to play it cool. “Sounds good. Let’s grab something to eat.” Albert glanced at his friend as the two of them made their way out of David’s o ce at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. e two men had started out years before at the New York Fed, and they had taken business courses together at C.U.N.Y. Eventually, David had become executive vice president of the bank's nancial services department, while Albert headed the business development section under David’s supervision. Albert thought back to his rst encounter with David, twenty years beforehand: “Hi. I'm Albert Silverstein."

Problem was, I couldn’t nd any. I searched all over. Purse, pocket book, junk drawer. Nothing came up. I really needed that money. “Where is it?” I asked out loud. My voice was woebegone. It didn’t help. Nobody was impressed. In frustration, I decided to go for a short walk. Putting on my jacket, I stuck my hand into my pocket, going through the hole, deep down, to where the wool and the sagging lining meet. Anything in there? Nope. Just some crumpled tissues. I threw it away in disgust. What do I do now? I got my mail from the corner mailbox and walked back home. Entering my kitchen, I dumped it all on the table, my mind still occupied with my troubles. One envelope caught my eye. It was from the insurance company I’d been hounding for months. ey owed me money, and had never come through. I opened the envelope impatiently. What, huh?! Another explanation? Words won’t cut it! A check fell out. I picked it up, almost reverently and looked at it. It was the exact amount I needed so desperately for today. Whew. Saved at the last minute. Fiddlesticks. It wasn’t last minute at all. It was meticulously planned down to the tiniest detail. Ever met Yankel from Chelm? He was sent by the leaders of his community to Warsaw. ey had heard about a wonderful new invention – the train. Apparently it worked through miracles. It was horseless, yet traveled at a speed much faster than horses! e elders of Chelm found it hard to believe. ey sent Yankel, one of the up –and – coming witty young men, to Warsaw, to study this invention and report back to them. Yankel came to Warsaw, and stood at the train station for a long time. He observed every movement of the railroad cars, every creak of their wheels, and every pu of smoke. He took his assignment very seriously. Nothing escaped his attention. After many hours, he returned to Chelm, nodding wisely all the way home. Chelm was in an uproar. Yankel was back! Everyone gathered in the big town square. Yankel entered with measured steps and began his explanation: “ is invention is not a miracle! After seeing it in operation for many hours I noticed that the last car was pulled by the car before it. e car before it was also pulled by the car before it. So the train works each car being pulled by the car preceding it – fty nine cars in all! And so, I know how fty nine cars work. ere is just one car whose secret I haven’t gured out yet – How does the rst car move?! But that is only a minor detail….” Life often seems to be a sequence of events, a chain reaction. Insurance owed me a check. I billed them. It took them weeks to process it, and the money didn’t arrive until today. All natural, the Peeking Through the Holes Teething Relief Looking forward to hearing from you, PUBLIC AWARENESS/ PUBLIC AWARENESS/ SHATNEZ Hello Csay Readers! We’re in chodesh Kislev, waiting for the warmth of Chanukah to lessen the chilly, dark outdoors. Without the distraction of the sunny outdoors, the sleeping and eating schedules of the babies and toddlers are even more important, and anything that disturbs that really has to be dealt with. The most popular ‘excuse’ for crankiness, sleeplessness, and not eating is probably teething, which is what the doctor will say whenever there isn’t a better reason for it. But they don’t really oœer a way to relieve the teething pain. 2
