Style & Living

Ever get the feeling that your children aren’t listening? Don’t worry; you’re not alone. We’ve all been there. We’ve all pleaded with blank stares to finally comprehend the simple instructions we are providing. We’ve even lashed out after yet another failed attempt by our child to engage in activities according to our specific directions.

Every day is a gift,

Every ray of the sun

A continuation, the miracle

Of Hashem’s Creation.

Before Adam

All creatures came,

Great and small,

Adam given the honor

Of naming them all:

Their spiritual essence,

Their inner truth,

The dense physical fiber

Of each hide, claw, and tooth

Condensed down to their

Metaphysical aspect;

The Hebrew names Adam gave them

Remain in effect.

HaKadosh Baruch Hu

Greatly exalted Adam,

Made him partners in a song,

Even angels cannot fathom

The tohu,

Intense expression

Of G-dliness,

The Song of Creation,

Spiritual, made manifest,

Sung by Hashem Himself;

Angels can only but listen,

As each day

Hashem creates the world

Again and again.

There still exists

Divine dispensation;

We can still be partners

Of HaKadosh Baruch Hu’s creation –

The mitzvos, an expression

Of Hashem

Embodied in physical action

In serving G-d;

The mitzvos yield

The song given back to us

As Hashem is revealed.

Recap: Mrs. Blennerhassett and her children had to leave their home and they stop at Ezra’s home. Mrs. Blennerhassett asks Miriam to hold onto their treasure until they return. Days have passed with no sign of Dovid. Yishai replays in his mind the time when Dovid went missing and suddenly, as he touches the three red feathers that were left where Dovid was last seen, he has an idea.

“They should really give a class in high school about life, about finances, about marriage, about parenting. They should have warned me! I had no idea what I was getting myself into - with any of it!”

A five-star review takes much time and consideration to bestow, and Pier 26 is most deserving of that honor. Guided under the precise handcraftsmanship of Executive Chef Uri Elbaum, and run by restaurateur Benji Haimoff, Pier 26 easily grabs the spot for the newest must-visit upscale venue on the fine kosher dining scene.

Recap: Dovid is missing. A search party has been looking for him all night. Yishai and Devorah are both davening. Yishai is picturing his nephew back home safe and sound. There’s a knock on the door. He prays it will be Ezra bringing back his nephew, but instead its Mrs. Blennerhassett and her two sons.
