United We Stand in Liberation!

When we think of Passover, one of the fundamental Holidays the Jewish people celebrate each year, we think of Matzah, the Seders, and retelling the story of Yetziat Mitzrayim, the Exodus out of slavery and into freedom. We recount the horrible oppression our ancestors faced and the wondrous Miracles performed by Hashem that

helped shape who we’ve become as a nation. Yet, before we know it, the Holiday is over and we go back to our routine activities to indulge in Chametz, our phones and our fast-paced lives. We are privileged enough to go back to our freedom but our people didn’t have that luxury when we were slaves. Therefore, we don’t just tell the story of Passover – We relive it. Through Salt Water, Marror and Hillel Sandwiches, we remember via tangible experiences, what our people went through… And, in some unfortunate cases, are still going through today. We are so blessed. Stop for a moment to process just how fortunate you are. In this special Passover Edition of The Shopping Maven, we showcase some of the most talented individuals in our community who offer their unique perspectives on liberty. From Rabbi Steven Pruzansky who delivers a moving D’var Torah on thanking Hashem for the ability to be free and see our problems pale in comparison to our gifts and blessings, to Rabbi Shmuley Boteach who teaches us to break free from the daily personal slavery we place upon ourselves. Freedom enabled Eitan Bernath, a fellow 12-year-old Jewish youngster from Teaneck, to share his gift and love of cooking on Chopped, a nationally televised program on The Food Network. Our liberal culture also inspires others to express their own passions and creativities, as many of our local youths demonstrated with our remarkable Kids Kosher Art Korner entries! This special issue culminates with a focus on Holy Name Medical Center, once a Catholic healthcare facility that now offers a myriad of services catered to the needs of our Jewish Community including, but not limited to, overnight accommodations in their Sabbath lounge, Kosher meals, Daily Bikur Cholim visits, a Sabbath elevator, and on-campus celebration of Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, Chanukah, Purim, and of course Passover! Most recently, President and CEO Michael Maron (featured on the cover) accepted the prestigious Community Partnership Award from The SINAI Schools, for his pervasive contributions to these phenomenal Jewish Schools, which serve Students with Special Needs. This partnership demonstrates yet another example, amongst many, of the medical center’s growing list of community commitments. We believe that flourishing businesses indicate a flourishing community. In our publication, all of the exciting aforementioned literary pieces, are disbursed between the colorful recognition of Bergen County’s robust local business community. These companies are proudly highlighted in our magazine, as these businesses support our community’s perpetual growth. Henceforth, when patronizing these happening spots while gathering with friends and family, we join together in commitment to support these establishments. Simultaneously, please enjoy the fabulous deals and savings plastered throughout the pages of this publication! As you relax, and leaf through each vibrant page of this book, or run to redeem your exciting new coupons, keep in mind the value this guide offers to our community. Each page embraces a unique way for you to save at places you already support, and will now surely visit more frequently. Our thriving community is indebted to its many businesses and owners who boldly dedicate their lives in constant service to us. When we think of Passover, we must remember that what started as a community, grew as a community… and endures today as a community, Stronger Than Ever. Our people, our nation survives and thrives together as one cohesive unit, just as we took our unified steps across the Dead Sea. Continue to take an active role in our community and remember Yetziat Mitzrayim, so you can appreciate what you are truly blessed to experience -Support and Celebrate Freedom! A Chag Kasher V’Sameach to all!

THE SHOPPING MAVEN



In one of the climactic parts of the hagada, we cite the Mishna (Pesachim 117B): “Therefore we are obligated to thank and praise G-d for what He did to our fathers and

us” – all the wonders and miracles that accompanied the Exodus, and we begin the recitation of Hallel. But then in the blessing that follows, we reverse the order, thanking G-d who “redeemed us and our fathers from Egypt.” Why the change – first, “our fathers and us” and then “to us and our fathers.” Why the change? There is a beautiful story in the fascinating hagada of Rav Yosef Zvi Rimon about Rav Yona Emanuel, late editor of Hamaayan and long-time teacher of Torah in Israel. At his grandson’s brit milah in 1985, he related a story that he said he had never told anyone before, not even his wife or children. Forty years earlier, he said, it was Pesach Eve 1945, and a young Yona Emanuel was imprisoned in Bergen-Belsen. He had been forced for a long period of time to rise early and spend his day at hard labor. He came back exhausted, just like every day, broken already by two years of maltreat-ment. He was 19 years old. His father was already dead, his older and younger brothers were dead, and his little sister was dead. His mother was barely clinging to life, lying ill in her barracks. In that time, days before liberation, Jews were dying by the hundreds every day of starvation and disease. That night – Pesach night – he sat at her bedside and recited the hagada. Of course he had no wine and no matzot. All he and everyone around him had – in abundance – was maror. Life itself was bitter. He whispered the hagada to his mother – he didn’t know whether or not she heard it – until he came to the blessing cited above. And he said, “Who redeemed us and redeemed our fathers,” and when he came to these words, the prayer in the blessing, “just like He redeemed us and our forefathers from Egypt, so too He will bring us to other holidays and festivals that will come upon us in peace, rejoicing in the rebuilding of Your city and joyous in Your service,” he suddenly stopped. He could not say the words. For the first time, he didn’t believe what he was saying. And he thought to himself: Will any of us live to see “other holidays and festivals?” Will anyone here see the holy city of Yerushalayim? Can anyone even expect to be happy again? He burst out crying, and stopped saying the hagada. Soon after, his mother died.

But now, forty years later, he continued: that night, if only I could have even imagined that I would live to see the land of Israel, together with one sister and two brothers; if only I could have imagined that I would eventually live in a Jewish state, marry and have my own children; if only I could have imagined that forty years later, I would be the sandak at my grandson’s brit in Yerushalayim; if I could have imagined any of that, I would have been able to finish the hagada that night. Why in the text do we first say “our fathers and then our-selves” - and then switch the order in the blessing to “Who redeemed us and our fathers?” When it comes to offering praise to G-d, everything starts with the Exodus from Egypt. Because our fathers were liberated, so in essence were we. But when it comes to offering thanks to G-d, that has to come from us first - “Who redeemed us and our fathers.” In every generation, we have to find the opportunities to thank G-d – for our lives and our families, for our bounty and our freedom, for Jewish sovereignty in the land of Israel, and for being given the opportunities to live full, productive, peace-ful and prosperous lives. To all but the most pessimistic and dour, we are living in one of the golden ages of Jewish history. We are not with-out problems - and the world is becoming increasingly more dangerous - but our problems pale before our advantages, our gifts and our blessings – from the ingathering of the exiles occurring before our eyes, to Jewish statehood, to peace and prosperity almost everywhere in the exile, even considering the recent tribulations. It is that gratitude that should overwhelm us this Pesach, and fill us with a yearning to better ourselves, to enhance our observance of Mitzvot, our service of G-d, and study of Torah. It should encourage us to say again and again, with feeling and sincerity, “therefore we are obligated to thank and praise G-d for all the miracles down to our ancestors and to us; He who took us from slavery to freedom, from agony to joy, from darkness to a great light.” May He once again – as He did then – take us from servitude to redemp-tion so we may merit in our day the complete fulfillment of the vision of our prophets, speedily and in our days. A kosher and happy Pesach to all!

The dream of every politician is to run for office without becoming a politician. The word has too many negative

connotations: unbridled ambition, a willingness to say anything to get elected, a permanent bloodlust for campaign cash, a selfish yearning for public glory, and a preparedness to trample on all that is sacred in the rush to get votes. It was therefore with some trepidation that I entered the political field. But amid all the possibility of being maligned and misunderstood, I threw my yarmulke into the ring primarily because I believe America is desperately in need of a reset button, new social values to deepen our lives, fix our families, and make us more purpose-oriented people, and I want to be one of those who contributes them. Breaking free of negative patterns is difficult, more so for a nation that it even is for an individual. But that’s what Passover is all about. Conveying the contemporary relevance of Judaism’s most famous holiday to a western audience, most of whom have grown up in thriving liberal democracies, is challenging. I remember how when I first arrived

in Oxford, the students organized Passover meals, not just on Passover but throughout the year, to support imprisoned refuseniks of the Soviet Union. But that was long ago. We can look at Passover as nothing more than the retelling of an ancient saga of bondage and liberation. The Jews were enslaved to Egyptian taskmasters, and God, through spectacular acts of intervention – ten plagues, splitting of the Red Sea – redeemed them from servitude. Yet, the Passover Seder, which is the highlight of the Jewish calendar and is sacred not just to Jews but to Christians as the last supper of Jesus, something I explore in my new book Kosher Jesus, is not merely about retelling but reliving the exodus from Egypt. Jews are enjoined to taste of saltwater and bitter herbs and thus to re-experience the tears and suffering of our forebears; to eat matzo, the poor man’s bread, thereby re-experiencing a taste of servitude; and finally to drink four cups of wine with which to the elation of redemption. But is any of this relevant to modern Americans who have thankfully never known political servitude? I would offer that the answer is an unqualified yes. For though we are free we are still

enslaved. Or, as Rousseau put it, man is free although everywhere he is in chains. What nearly collapsed the American economy in 2008 was a nation that could not stop spending money. Subjected to unending pressures to prosper materially, we indulged in homes we could not afford and addicted ourselves to impulse purchases that surrounded us with the accouterments of success. To pay for all this we worked all hours of the day and typed away at our blackberries at night, thereby compromising our greatest treasure of all, our children. Is this the mark of freedom? Indeed, with phones that are on us always and with a 24 hour news cycle and economy, and with the need to update our Facebook status at all hours of the day and night, we are certainly the most electronically enslaved generation ever. Think of the women who spend their lives trying to ape whatever is on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine that week. Are they free to be themselves, or are they imprisoned with artificially low self-esteem in a culture that values a woman more for cheekbones and thinness than knowledge and character? We tend to think of imprisonment

Passover’s Message of LiberationRabbi Shmuley Boteach, “America’s Rabbi”

Rabbi Shmuley Tells Us How To... Break Free from Personal Slavery: Enjoy life, SAvE from overspending, and PRoSPER with more quality time

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, “America’s Rabbi” is an author, TV host and public speaker. Dubbed the most famous Rabbi in America by The Washington Post and Newsweek, Rabbi Shmuley is the author of over 30 books, and numerous additional writings, including his newest book, “Kosher Lust.”

http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/author/shmuley-boteach/


only in political terms. If an outside party imposes their will on us, we feel restrained and oppressed. But the most serious form of duress is the restriction imposed upon us by our own human nature. Passover’s message is that men and women can transcend instinct, impulse, and social pressures and be whatever they wish to become. Each of us is endowed with a yearning to leave Egypt and be free. America is the same. Our country is mired in a rut of material consumption, cultural shallowness, political partisanship, and economic instability. But none of this has become ingrained into our national DNA. We are capable of liberating ourselves from a spending addiction, degrading decadence, incessant political warfare, and the inevitability of historical decline. Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik ex-plained that there are essentially two forms of slavery. The first is juridical, a political state of enslavement in which man becomes the prisoner of another man. This state reduces humans to chattel, an object to be bought and sold, a thing serving as the private property of an owner. The slave’s productivity – even his very being – belongs to his master. He is exploited and humiliated by a political system that so degrades his status. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. He can one day be freed and restored to full human stature. But the second type of slavery, while far less overtly discomfiting, is actually much more severe. This is typological slavery, a mental state of servitude rather than politically imposed enslavement. There are people whose will has been broken and whose ego has been effaced. They think, feel, and act in a distinctively docile manner. They have lost hope. Their ability to conduct themselves as free men has been constricted and manipulated. Dreams and ambitions which they once cherished have

dissipated and their hopes for the future have been crushed. They are disinclined to take responsibility for their actions and they submerge their individuality beneath that of another, be it a person, a company, or the state. This slave mentality can be found even among politically liberated peoples. Witness the fact that after Moses had redeemed the Jewish people from Egypt, he sent a group of slaves to spy out the land and determine the most efficient way to conquer it. Yet they returned with a dispiriting report: “The Land is filled with giants… and we were in their sight as grasshoppers, and so we appeared to ourselves as well.” Such feelings of inferiority would not have allowed for the conquering of the land, and thus God decided to wait forty more years – until that entire generation had been replaced – before allowing Jews to enter the land and acquire it. Pervasive feelings of low self-esteem and a lack of self-confidence – so common in our culture – is an iteration of this typological enslavement. It is far easier to take the man out of prison than it is to take the prison out of man. While the former is enslavement of the body, the latter is the enslavement of the mind. When I was a boy I promised myself that I would never get upset except over things that really mattered. Now that I am a man I am stunned at how often I have broken that pledge and allowed trifling nuisances to irritate me. And in so I acknowledge just how imprisoned I remain. I spoke with two brothers who were inseparable but have fallen out over a financial dispute. I beseeched the older to apologize to his sibling so as to reawaken their filial love. “I simply cannot. He was wrong and he should apologize.” “But that’s not the point,” I told him. “What is more important? To be right, or to have a brother? Here you have the opportunity to have your brother back.

All it takes is a phone call. But you seem more interested in justice than family.” He tried to lift the receiver to call his brother. He could not. He was imprisoned by his own stubbornness. I related to him that Passover is the time to liberate oneself of the incarceration of anger and disappointment. A by-product of the constructive green wave which has swept our culture and made us more sensitive to the needs of our environment is the preposterous notion that whatever you feel naturally is good. If you’re angry, don’t bottle it in. It’s unhealthy to repress emotion. If you feel stifled in marriage, get out. Be liberated. People should scratch every itch, indulge every urge. But on Passover we go out of Mitzrayim, Egypt, which translates literally as natural limitations. Man is not a prisoner of his nature which can always be subordinated to human will. We are not to indulge destructive emotion but transcend it, not accommodate bitterness and cynicism but transform them. It was Hitler who proclaimed in Mein Kampf that “Going against nature brings ruin to man… and is a sin against the will of the Eternal Creator. It is only Jewish impudence which demands that we go against nature.” But the word ‘kadosh,’ holy, in Hebrew, means distinct and set apart. We only elevate our lives when we transcend a natural selfishness and congenital self-centeredness and become other-people oriented. It is not natural for us to put others before ourselves. Less so is it natural for us to give freely of our possessions for the edification of another. Our personal potential remains imprisoned in Egypt, our national promise fettered to Pharaoh. It is time for us to be free.

In September 2012, Holy Name Medical Center (HNMC) erected a Sukkah in the ground floor patio near the Medical Center’s clinic, and since that time, physicians, staff and family members of patients have been able to eat in the Sukkah during the Festival of Succoth. That Holy Name, a Catholic healthcare facility founded 90 years ago by the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Peace, would install

a Sukkah should not surprise anyone who has visited the Medical Center in the last decade. HNMC provides overnight accommodations on the Sabbath and holidays for observant family members of patients in the newly-renovated Sabbath room and Sabbath lounge, which is stocked with two microwaves , a refrigerator, kosher snacks, books and magazines and “Sabbath boxes “ for making Kiddush and candle-lighting. Several Bikur Cholim groups visit Jewish patients daily and on Shabbat and keep the Shabbat refrigerator stocked. Holy Name has a Sabbath elevator, provides kosher meals to patients and guests, and offers mammograms on Sundays. Rabbi Shalom Fisch, son of the late Rabbi Stanley Fisch, Holy Name’s first Jewish Chaplain, and his wife Molly Fisch, a former Holy Name pharmacist, blows Shofar for patients on Rosh Hashanah and reads the Megillah on Purim. A menorah is lit during eight days of Chanukah in the Holy Name Chapel. Holy Name’s hospice services and programs – whether patients are spending their last days at the Medical Center, or at Villa Marie Claire, Holy Name’s freestanding hospice facility in Saddle River or in their own homes - have been accredited by the National Institute for Jewish Hos-pice. Holy Name Medical Center’s accommodations for Jewish patients are a reflection of the Medical Center’s commitment to helping the entire community access quality health care by providing culturally, religiously and linguistically-sensitive services and programs. On February 8, 2015, President and CEO Michael Maron accepted the SINAI Schools prestigious Community Partnership Award on behalf of Holy Name Medical Center at the SINAI annual dinner. For almost two decades, Holy Name Medical Center has partnered with SINAI Schools, one of the country’s leading Jewish schools for children with learning or developmental disabilities, to provide vocational training for SINAI high school students and adults with special needs. In its 90 years, Holy Name has evolved into a dynamic Medical Center that provides the highest standards of clinical care and advanced technology in an environment rooted in a tradition of compassion and respect for each patient. HNMC‘s clinical excellence has been widely rec-ognized. Holy Name was recently re-designated as a Magnet ® Hospital for excellence in patient care, placing the Medical Center among the top six percent of hospitals in the country. HNMC was named one of U.S. News & World Report’s 2014-2015 Best Regional Hospitals, one of The Joint Commission’s “Top Performers” and received the Leapfrog Group Grade “A” in Patient Safety, among many other accolades. Helping the entire community achieve the highest level of health care remains the mission and commitment of Holy Name Medical Center.
