Not long ago I was speaking at a

synagogue in another city, and had the

occasion to notice an interaction

between a father and son that disturbed me. It

appeared to me that the boy, maybe six years old,

sitting next to his father, was attempting to get his

father to smile at him. Unsuccessfully. Mostly, the

father wouldn’t look at him, and when he did, he

was stone-faced, not so much angry, as cold. I

know that I don’t know the context of this inter-

action, and it is very possible that the child’s

behavior warranted a disapproving response. My

point here is not about judging a particular

incident, as much as it is to draw attention to the

power of a parent’s smile, and the power of

withholding that smile. Because I continued

looking back throughout that prayer service to see

if something had changed. I realized that I was

hoping to see the boy receive the smile he so

desired. Instead, I saw a slow but steady change

in the child.

At first he was animated, looking up to his

father’s face, talking excitedly with a warm smile

of his own. When this was not reciprocated, he

looked somewhat confused, and unsure of

himself. Later he showed signs of anxiety, fidget-

ing in his seat, and eventually looking listless, and

very sad. And he had stopped trying. It was very

painful to watch, and it struck me that while it was

quite possible that he had done something to earn

his father’s ire, nevertheless, it was still not ok. I

felt that I had witnessed close to two hours of

cruelty, and with that thought came an insight. A

parent’s smile is not an extra, it’s not a toy, a video

game, or a treat. And giving it shouldn’t be

considered a reward, it does not need to be earned.

Yes, when we are rebuking, giving consequences,

such as time outs, and letting them know that

something they had done is unacceptable, it is bet-

ter not to smile at that moment, conveying the

seriousness of the discussion. However, a parent

needs to be aware that denying a smile is powerful

and hurtful, especially to a young child, and it is so

important to bring the smile back as soon as

possible.

Rabbi Shneur Kotler, ob”m, would often say,

based on a verse in Deuteronomy, that the white

of one’s teeth, the smile, is more important than

milk. And his explanation: Milk feeds the body, a

warm smile sustains the spirit, the essence, the

totality of the person. A smile to a stranger, or

even a friend, is an expression of friendliness,

perhaps caring, or fondness. A smile to a child is

a whole different communication. It is a

reaffirming of our love for them, a statement that

our relationship is ok, and our closeness is

maintained. More similar to protein than to

snacks. In a young child, perhaps even analogous

to oxygen.

The truth is that the effect of a genuine, warm

smile should not be underestimated in all close

relationships. Simple, real smiles, ones that light

up the face and bring a sparkle to the eyes, make a

huge difference in building intimacy with one’s

spouse, parents, siblings, in-laws, and dear friends.

A simple smile to someone in pain can make the

pain somewhat easier to bear. Just a smile. Simple,

yet life giving, sustenance for the soul.

Jewish humor It’s funny because we say so!

The Other Side!For 30 years every day

Moishe ate at "Abe's Kosher

Deli". He was an honored

guest & had his own re-

served stool at the counter.

He was loved by everyone &

was generous to all the

servers & staff including the

owner, Moishe.

One day Moishe didn't

show at his regular time.

Abe was worried a bit as he

realized Old Moishe was a

widower & lived alone but

then got busy & forgot

about Moishe's absence.

The next day, no Moishe.

Abe was worried... he

phoned Moishe's number &

got no answer. He called a

few local hospitals & even

called Moishe's daughter in

Israel to no avail.

Abe couldn't sleep that

night wondering what had

happened. Now Abe was re-

ally concerned & just as he

was about to call 911 he

glanced out the window &

saw Moishe going into

"Goldberg's Deli" across the

street.

Abe took off out the door

& raced across the street

narrowly missing getting hit

by a bus & confronted

Moishe just as he was sitting

down. Abe screamed,

"where have you been? I

lost sleep & spent good

money phoning around

about you. What are you

doing here at Gold-

berg's.....you know he's my

worst enemy! Explain to me

Moishe!!!!!"

Moishe looked at Abe &

said calmly, "Settle down

Abraham, settle down. I'll

tell you what happened.... I

went to the dentist 3 days

ago & had one of those root

canals. Oy the pain! The

dentist gave me some pills &

said:

'Moishe, for a few days eat

on the other side.'

soup to Nuts Your kashrus Questions. . . Answered

Written by Rabbi Dovid Cohen

A service of the Chicago Rabbinical Council2701 West Howard | 773-465-3900

Quail eggs

Q. Do you know which quail

eggs are kosher?

a. One of the world’s experts

on the kosher status of different

birds is Rabbi Chaim Loike, who

works for the OU. An article

which he wrote on quail can be

found on their website at

http://bit.ly/hgLAbV, and he

has also shared with us a 22 page

book which he wrote on the

topic. In these works, he notes

that many species of quail are

kosher but there are others which

are not and therefore he recom-

mends (on page 11 of the book)

that “At this point quail eggs

should not be consumed unless it

is possible to verify that the eggs

are indeed those of a kosher quail

specie.”

rose water

Q. I believe that you had

recently told me that rose water

requires hashgachah. Is that cor-

rect? If yes, why does it need

hashgachah?

a. Rose water is believed to bemade by steeping the roses in

water so that an extract leeches

out, and then the water is distilled

to purify/strengthen the product.

Unfortunately, the primary pro-

duction areas are in Lebanon and

other countries where Mashgichim

are not welcome, such that we are

not aware of any Mashgichim who

can confirm that this is the

process and clarify if there are

any kashrus concerns. [It is worth

noting that most rose water sold

in the USA is not authentic rose

water but rather water which is

flavored to taste like true rose

water.] Accordingly, we are un-

able to recommend rose water

(or orange blossom water) with

out hashgachah.

slurpees

Q. The Slurpee machine at mylocal 7/11 is not kosher certified,

but someone showed me the

extensive list of kosher Slurpee

flavors from the cRc website.

Can I consume those flavors

even if the store isn’t kosher?

How do I know that there isn’t

carryover from a non-kosher fla-

vor to the kosher flavor?

a. Yes, you may eat (or shouldI say drink?) any kosher flavor of

Slurpee even if the specific 7/11

store is not kosher certified. The

reason is as follows: Each bag-in-box that holds asingle Slurpee syrup has its owndisposable hose, but there aresome hoses that do not getchanged or thoroughly cleanedbetween products. Thus, it ispossible that some of Flavor Awill be in the pipes even thoughthe bag-in-box and sign say thatFlavor B is being served. Thereason this isn’t a serious kashrusconcern is because (a) theamount of Slurpee left in themachine is minimal enough thatit would invariably all end up inthe first Slurpee purchased afterthe hoses were changed, and (b)almost every single Slurpee

flavor is kosher. Accordingly, thechances that I will get non-kosher Slurpee in my kosherSlurpee are too small to be sig-nificant. For more details on thekosher issues with Slurpees, seethe article by Rabbi Fishbane onour website at http://www.cr-cweb.org/kosher_articles/slurpees.php.

grap Juice

Q. What is the minimum per-centage of grape juice mixture to

require the bracha of hagafen?

a.If the grape juice is pure(without water or other ingredi-

ents added by the manufacturer),

then as long as there is at least 1

part grape juice for (just under)

every 6 parts of water (about

14%) the bracha is hagafen. If

there was more water than that,

then the bracha is shehakol.

Kosher alertsThe following drinks have been

added to the beverage list on the

cRc website (www.crcweb.org):

Starbucks Double Energy Coffee

Starbucks Double Energy Vanilla

Seattle’s Best Coffee Latte

Seattle’s Best Vanilla Latte

·Seattle’s Best Mocha Latte

All are kosher dairy (cholov

stam) under Rabbi Charlop when

bearing the KD on the label.

“Jolly Rancher” brand of soda is

now being distributed in the

Chicago area. There are several

flavors available but only one,

Green Apple, has the Kof -K cer-

tification on the cap. At this time,

only the flavor(s) bearing the Kof

K are recommended as kosher.

The newest addition to kosher

foods under the cRc in Chicago is

The Kosher Grill located at

Ravinia Park in Highland Park,

Illinois. They will be serving a va-

riety of grilled hot dogs and will

be open only during the Ravinia

season ( and closed on Shabbos).

We see in the Shulchan Aruch, Orech

Chayim 751 that during the three

week period between the fast of the

17th of Tamuz and the fast of the 9th of Av, we

are supposed to reduce our rejoicing. This law is

derived from the Gemora in the tractate of Ta'anis

(26b) which states that "When Av enters, we are to

lessen our rejoicing." During these "Three Weeks"

we do not have weddings, we do not take haircuts,

and we do not listen to music. During the time

between the beginning of the month of Av and

the fast on the 9th, we do not eat meat, drink wine,

and for many purposes, one may not bathe. (For

exact application of these laws, please consult your

Halachik authority. -YP) These are some of the

examples of the signs of mourning that we

demonstrate during this period of time. If we take

a step back from our actions, and think about what

we are or are not doing we should ask ourselves

"Why are we doing this, what are we to learn from

this?"

The answer lies in what role Jerusalem and the

Temple play in our lives. We see in the Medrash a

quote from Reb Levi: "All good blessings and

consolations that the Almighty is destined to give

to the Jewish people come only from Zion." The

Rabbis in the Gemora have described for us what

it means not to dwell in the Holy Land when they

wrote that "one who dwells outside of Israel is

compared to one who has no G-d." Reading these

passages and others like it, one can only imagine

the devastating spiritual toll the destruction of the

Temple and Jerusalem has had on the nation of

Israel. Yet, often it appears that we have lost that

yearning for the arrival of Moshiach and our

return to a rebuilt Jerusalem and Temple. When a

Rabbi concludes his sermon with the words "may

we all merit to be in Jerusalem next year" and we

answer "Amen," do we at that time really feel the

loss of our Temple and holiest city? Do we feel all

too comfortable living in America or anywhere in

exile, even with the knowledge that there are

people who are still persecuted because they are

Jewish? The Rambam (Maimonides) writes in his

Mishnah Torah (Chap. 11 - Laws of Kings) that

"one who is aware of the suffering in exile and

does not eagerly await the redemption, denies

belief in the redemption." Any complacency on

our part is tantamount to giving up on our future.

So what are we to do? The laws of mourning

observed during the "Three Weeks" are not meant

solely as a demonstration of mourning for a

destruction and exile that occurred 2000 years ago.

This period of time is supposed to remind us that

we, as individuals and as a nation, are not complete

as long as there are Jews who are scattered all over

the world in exile. We have to internalize this exile

and the effect it is to have on us. However, the

process does not end here. We also have to try and

understand what led to this terrible destruction,

and how we can better ourselves so that we can

merit being brought out of this exile that our evil

deeds led us to in the first place. Only a stronger

commitment to the Torah and our religion will

bring the redemption. Rabbi Yonason Eibshitz,

(1690-1764) wrote that the verse "And the land will

be filled with the knowledge of G-d as the waters

cover the sea" is a prerequisite to the coming of

Moshiach and our eventual redemption. This

surely increases our duties in the area of our

responsibility to hasten the arrival of our

redemption.

We have been assigned a task: to do what we can

to hasten our redemption. May we all merit to be

inspired by the solemnity of these Three Weeks,

to realize the totality of the loss we have suffered,

and to act on all of these feelings, so that we can

be returned to a rebuilt Jerusalem and Temple

speedily, in our days.

We now know why we fast. May we merit to all

take this lesson to heart, and see the Temple

rebuilt speedily, in our days.
