I’ll return to the gemach, I decided. Find a guarantor and sign on the dotted line. It wasn’t pleasant, nor was it simple. But what doesn’t one do for one’s children? e phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number, which I usually don’t pick up, but something made me take the call. “Hello? Reb Chaim? is is Ezra, the man from the hospital, whose grandson had a broken leg. How are you doing? How’s your daughter feeling?” “Boruch Hashem,” I said, my mind racing. Why was he calling now? “ ings are under control, though hectic as usual. To what do I owe this honor?” “I wanted to mention an opportunity,” he replied carefully. “My wife and I have a custom—we did this by all our childrens’ weddings, and we’d like to do it again for our youngest. We look for a family in chinuch who are making a wedding the same night, and undertake to cover all the costs, just like it would be our own child. Yet we want to make sure that there is no other source of funding, such as money from a gemach or a wealthy uncle. So, what do you say? Do you qualify for this deal?” “I didn’t borrow money from anyone, despite the pressure,” I responded honestly. “But the wedding date is getting closer, and I might just have to.” “No need. I want to wire you the sum of twenty- ve thousand dollars,” Ezra responded. “Will that be enough?” I didn’t know if I should laugh, cry, or dance a jig on the spot, so I did all three. Within the hour, the money was in my bank account. It was just enough to pay all our expenses, as I had davened, b’derech kavod, without borrowing a dime. And to think that I had doubted the Ultimate Provider, who arranged for my Toby to be hospitalized, and for me to meet a Yid in the bikur cholim room, which was the catalyst for our yeshuah! The phone rang in the silent o ce. 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 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 PROLOGUE A Novel of Terrorisim & Betrayal K פי‡ן ˘ „ער בילי‡ן „‡לער PEEPHOLE Happiness The Bankers Trust KIDS CLUB Cocoa Mug Card WHAT YOU’LL NEED • Hot Chocolate Mug Template • White paper or cardstock • Doublestick tape • Scissors • Cellophane bags (aprox. 2.25 X 3 in bags) • Hot cocoa mix powder or tea bags • Regular tape • Envelope > Cocoa Mug Card This greeting card is the perfect way to share a comforting cup of hot chocolate, tea, or coffee; even when you can’t be together in person.

Frozen Challah Looking forward to hearing from you, Hello Csay Readers! I hope it’s been a beautiful and lechtige Chanukah, and that the warmth accompanies us throughout the rest of the winter beezras Hashem. Now that the first stretch has passed, we have one more chunk of routine to relax, reorganize, and restock before the hints of Purim and Pesach are upon us. If you’re in the stage of constantly freezing challah, maybe you can help us with this week’s topic. For all the young women who don’t use an entire batch each week, and for all the mothers who do use the entire batch but still like to have stock in the freezer, let’s discuss how to make this work in the best possible way. Some find that the crust is never the same a›er freezing. Others have pieces of the crust fall ož when removing it from the freezer. Still another doesn’t know how to best warm it – stick it in the oven while frozen, in Every Page...
