Should I say that I am thrilled and excited that finally after so many years the long awaited crossing indicator has been installed at the corner of New Bridge and Surrey in Bergenfield? Yes of course, it is a step in the right direction. It allows people to cross at that corner by pushing a button indicating with a light that the traffic should stop for pedestrians. First and foremost, however, is the question of how does this help us on Shabbat? We all know that it does not.

I heard an interview this evening about how the wedding industry is being affected by the various tariffs being placed on imports from various countries (primarily China). I certainly did not know that 90% of all bridal gowns sold in the USA are imported from China.

It was not my intention to begin this with a short discussion about the fond memories we all have of the Rav, zt”l, and the Lubavitcher Rebbe, but since one has not been able to turn on the news over the past few days without hearing of the sad demise of the Pope, I began to think of how different we Jews are in terms of how we memorialize our gedolim.

Spring fever is definitely not in the air if you step outside today but Pesach fever is in full swing in every store, on every person’s mind, and certainly affecting everyone’s bank account. It was the first time in my life that I had to stand on line to use the keilim mikvah last Friday. Parking spots were almost nil and mostly men were bringing newly acquired pots, pans and everything else they, or I assume their wives, needed for the holiday. I just had one lonely item.

I’ve done it many times. I have become accustomed to walking with our grandson Zev along the streets of Teaneck and have watched almost every person who walks along the street coming over to greet Zev. Whether he knows them or not he shouts out to them or them to him. It is remarkable how everyone seems to know him. No joke, I can guarantee that if he were to run for office in Teaneck it would be a shoo-in: Zev Kinderlehrer as the mayor of Teaneck.

Is it just me or have others experienced the following: You answer your phone and hear someone say, upon hearing your voice, the title of this article (look above). I’d rather not be told the call is a mistake and would rather the caller pretend they were indeed calling me and then make up some kind of excuse or apology that something suddenly came up and they have to run and will get back to me at a later time. Actually as I reread these words I am not actually sure what I would prefer.

I recently listened to a daily “wort” entitled 10@9 given by our very dear friend Rabbi Michael Whitman, rav of Congregation Adath Israel of Montreal. Michael and his wife, Marci, have become esteemed members of our family, well loved and respected by each of our children.

True. What I read this week is not funny but I wish that it was meant for a Purim chagiga. It’s the old adage of people waking up and smelling the roses. The people I refer to are the “rabbonim” in Lakewood who recently had a meeting to discuss the “tragedy” of the shidduch crisis. One particular rav was crying as he spoke about this awful dilemma. Girls, older and older, are not finding shidduchim. Lo and behold! They have come up with a solution.
