It was a well-known shadchan, calling for a suggestion for my Ruchy, my eldest. She was talented, re ned, and a wonderful girl with sterling midos—in short, alleh maalos. “My name is Chani Mayer,” said the shadchan, (all names have been changed,) and I felt the butter ies in my kishkes. Chani Mayer was one of the top names out there, a proli c shadchanta who had several hundred shidduchim to her credit. I heard she mainly dealt with mechutanim who were nancially well o , and wondered why she was reaching out to us. I’ve been in the eld of shidduchim for over twenty years and I’m rarely wrong. So I have a super positive feeling about this,” gushed Chani, as I snapped back to attention. “Yes?” I asked, paying close attention. If Chani was giving me the time of day, this was probably an excellent suggestion. “Who did you have in mind?” “Before I give you the name, I wanted to tell you that I gave it a lot of thought. It isn’t always easy to match, er, situations, so please don’t take it personally if his issue is more, uh, obvious than your daughter’s.” “What?” I sputtered, realization slowly dawning that this wasn’t an ordinary shidduch call. “What are you talking about?” “Uh, I was referring to the hearing issue. So the bochur wears hearing aids, but they’re very small and you hardly notice them. In fact, most of his friends have no idea that he’s hearing impaired. He had no issues at birth, but after he caught meningitis as a baby he remained with some hearing loss. It’s very subtle, though, as I mentioned.” “W… why are you suggesting a hearing impaired boy?” I stammered. “Is this a joke?” “A joke?” Chani sounded a ronted. “I don’t joke about shidduchim. I heard about this boy, he’s really a top masmid, excellent midos, just has this small issue. And then when I heard about your Ruchy, I gured it was a perfect shidduch. Mamish from Shomayim, as they say.” As I said, good thing I was sitting. My head felt heavy and my knees began to tremble. What was this lady talking about? Why was she suggesting a bochur with issues for my daughter?” “Mrs. Stein? Are you there?” she asked after a pause. In a state of shock, I cut o the connection.

TOPIC #203 - KIDS NAIL CUTTING I ask my little boys to tell me the name of their classmates. For each nail that we cut, there’s another haircut/ Csay Topic #206 Bright Whites Hello Csay Readers, I hope it’s been a beautiful week, where you’ve all been keeping warm and cozy under the onslaught of low temperatures and layers of white. If you’ve dug yourself, your children, and your routines out from under the blizzard, you’re ready to give fellow readers tips on another white topic. As the messages pouring into the Csay mailbox attest to, keeping white shirts, shells, bandanas, and tichlech bright is an ongoing struggle. Many balabustes find that as they are washed, the color fades and dulls, sometimes even getting a grayish tinge. This is especially true with the latest front-loader machines, which generally don’t do as great a job with whites. Do you have a washing product or method that works? If yes, we’d be so grateful to learn it! We’re looking forward to hearing from you, TOPIC #204 - KNOTTY HAIR I found the Kirkland conditioner to be very helpful. You can purchase it in Walmart and it really helps for knotty hair. TOPIC #204 - KNOTTY HAIR I have extremely curly hair and when I learned to brush starting from the bottom and going up, it was a life changer. You brush only when it’s wet, and find the products best for each person’s hair. There are cheap shampoos and conditioners that can make a huge diŠerence with the diŠicult textures. I always leave a conditioner in my hair at the end of my shower and that helps me as well. TOPIC #205 - PESACH CLEANING HELP As far as the cleaning lady, if you only have once or twice a week, what you can do is not give her all the basics that you give her every week. You can manage without that. You just do the most important things, and then you start with the Pesach cleaning. And the second tip is starting early enough, your silver and things that are not needed before Pesach, you can start now. The most important thing is knowing the halachos, what you need TOPIC #204 - KNOTTY HAIR There’s a brush called The Wet Brush. It’s excellent to use a er the bath and it opens all the knots. TOPIC #194 - TEETH WHITENI We did not have the best expe with expensive teeth whit but the best one that really worked w whitening strips from the company Crest between $20 and $40. It just depends on one you buy. Some are stronger, but t make the teeth very white. TOPIC #204 - KNOTTY HAIR For knotty hair, the Detangling spray is very helpful. Have the bottle handy and spray as needed. TOPIC #204 - KNOTTY HAIR The main thing is to just brush it right a er a bath. If you have curly hair you don’t need any fancy shampoos, just to brush it right away. And if it does get knotty, then any detangler really works. Also just running the water over the knots should take it out. TOPIC #140 - CAMERAS For whoever wants to know you can find cameras, you backorder any Canon camera by B&H, an deliver it within four to five weeks. If the get it in they refund you. Their phone num 877-759-8003. TOPIC #140 - CAMERAS There is a Chinese photo st Kennedy Blvd, a er the Atrium I think they may develop films. TOPIC #180 - PANDAS Regarding the woman look how to help her son with P My son was also diagnosed with Pandas was told to start antibiotics for him. He antibiotics for a very long time until I just up and took him oŠ the antibiotics. With ti symptoms improved and now he’s perfect I think there’s no such thing as Pandas. M was a little anxiety, which was acting out th with weird symptoms, but it did go away own, even when he was not on antibiotics C?: PN?O DM<TP E? KE< TNDMLNP E?

In many homes, the table looks a little morecolorfulthistimeofyear,with bowls of fruit set out especially for Tu B’Shvat. It’s something simple, but meaningful, and it brings a certain warmth into the home. Most of us have had the experience of buying fruit that looked nice in the store, only to find it wasn’t so good once we got home. A little attention while shopping can go a long way, and it doesn’t take much to choose better. HARVEST BY: LIBBY KLEIN Blessings Showered The 15th day of Shevat. The day that the land of Eretz Y refreshes and renews the power of its soil, so that its pr will grow and ripen with beauty and lusciousness. Th that we savor and eat two kinds of wheat and five di fruits to remember how Hashem bestowed on his hol these seven agricultural delights. The Gamara teaches us that Rabbi Abba said: “The fru Eretz Yisrael bring us the tidings of redemption.
