On Thursday, October 15, two of our local Queens educational institutions – Fresh Meadows’ Yeshiva Ketana of Queens and Kew Gardens’ Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe – were issued inaccurate summonses for “not complying with NYS EO #202.6 and NYSDOH guidelines by operating a school in a red/orange zone.” The duo from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene would not listen to a rationalization that the schools were in their respective yellow zones and allowed to operate.

When we are faced with sorrows, we call out and turn to Hashem and His Torah, as David HaMelech stated, “Tzarah v’yagon emtza u’v’sheim Hashem ekra–I will find troubles and sorrows, and I will call out in Hashem’s name” (T’hilim 117:13).  When everything is going well, it is easy to turn to Hashem and thank Him for His goodness.  The real test comes when we run into rough waters.  How we do react to yisurin – life’s difficulties?  We turn straight to Hashem!

On a recent Thursday afternoon, the Boulevard ALP Assisted Living facility in Fresh Meadows hosted a touching ceremony for a special resident, World War II veteran Irving Goldstein, who will celebrate his milestone centenarian birthday at the end of the year.

We are all looking forward with great anticipation to the annual Erna Lindenfeld Hachnosas Kallah Tea to be held on Tuesday evening, November 10, at 8:30 pm. The Tea has been a Queens hallmark event for decades, providing our community with the opportunity to give tz’dakah to a most worthy local cause while enjoying a delicious buffet, heartfelt speeches, an entertaining play starring local actresses and musicians, and an incredible raffle selection.
