FEBRUARY 5, ‘25 // SUNDAY MONDAY || FEB. 9 10 DRYVEUP.COM/BNOS /// 845.498.1221 Our connection Mrs. Tillim ע”ה Our link to the future to the past חוט המשולש לא במהרה ינתק קהלת: ד' י''ב MRS. TILLIM REBBETZIN KAPLAN SARAH SCHENIRER The Legacy of Mrs. Esther Malka Tillim ע”ה ften a great leader is only recognized once they have passed away. Yet there are a select few who become legends even during their own lifetime. Mrs. Tillim was such a leader. During her more than three decades as a principal, Mrs. Tillim was celebrated far and wide as an exemplary principal who had a uniquely profound impact on her Talmidos. Throughout her impressive career, Mrs. Tillim served as a guiding light to her students, while also providing a vital link to the generations of Bais Yaakov past. She personified the ideals and vision of Sarah Schneirer, the pioneer of chinuch habonos, and of Rebbetzin Vichna Kaplan, who brought the Bais Yaakov movement to America. Mrs. Tillim fostered in her Talmidos an historic connection, helping them understand that they are the bearers of the Bais Yaakov Legacy. Mrs. Tillim was acclaimed for the love and understanding that she had for all her Talmidos. Under her compassionate guidance, countless students flourished, gaining academic excellence, along with self-confidence. Mrs. Tillim inculcated in them the values and ethics that would be essential for leading meaningful and fulfilling lives. Her unwavering commitment to their success and her unshakable belief in each and every one of them, left an indelible impression on all of her students and admirers. Her Talmidos will forever carry a bit of Mrs. Tillim in their hearts. In her final years, Mrs. Tillim served as the inaugural principal of Bnos High School in Monsey. As such, Mrs. Tillim was afforded the unique opportunity to shape the school’s culture according to her chinuch principles. Resting firmly on the mesorah of her great mentors, Mrs. Tillim created an environment where chashivus haTorah, yiras shomayim and midos tovos are embedded into the heart of each student. True to form, Mrs. Tillim treated each Talmidah as a unique and special individual and instilled in them a deep pride in being a Bas Yisroel. With Mrs. Tillim’s passing, Bnos High School is dedicated to ensuring that her chinuch legacy endures. The school is committed to carrying forth her vision for chinuch habonos. As a heartfelt expression of hakoras hatov for her extraordinary contributions, we humbly ask for your support in helping her legacy continue to thrive. With your contribution you will play an essential role in enabling her avodas hakodesh and commitment to excellence in chinuch habonos to remain alive for future generations. As a lasting memorial, and to give admirers an opportunity to link their name to that of Mrs. Tillim. Bnos High School will be establishing The Mrs. Tillim Legacy Wall, to be prominently displayed in the school building. This will serve as a constant reminder of Mrs. Tillim’s ideals, and a public display of connection for those who contribute. Let us honor Mrs. Tillim ה ע and uphold the mission she so passionately championed. O 54

The question was not unexpected. Still, it caught me o guard. It was the last day of our extended summer vacation, and we were relaxing on my parents’ porch, watching the children play in the endless green back yard. It had been a wonderful interlude, but all good things must come to an end, and our flight back home was the following aernoon. I was already dreading the endless trip with five restless, overtired children. “Moving back?” I sighed. “Believe me, it sounds like heaven. Especially with this glorious back yard. But it doesn’t look like we’re going anywhere for the time being. Aer all, our children are growing older, and they’re all settled. If we were planning to come back we’d have done it a long time ago.” “There’s something special about living in Eretz Yisroel, and I don’t just mean for a year or two,” my husband, Shloimy, added. This was something he felt strongly about, and I hoped it wouldn’t come out the wrong way. “I really feel that our children are growing up di erently, with pure values. Not like today’s kids.” “Not that there was anything wrong with the way we were raised—on the contrary,” I interrupted quickly, sensing we may have crossed a line. “We got the greatest chinuch, Mommy. But things are simpler there. There’s no peer pressure to have the nicest, the best, to upgrade. And so far we’re living our dream life.” And indeed we were.

FEBRUARY 5, ‘25 // Questions & Answers from Rabbi Avigdor Miller zt”l’s Thursday Night Lecture On the Benefit of Cold Weather Q. How do we benefit from this cold weather? A. The the benefits of cold weather are tremendous. Cold weather causes the earth to stop producing. If the earth would continue to produce all year round, it would use up all of its resources – all of its nutrients and energy. And that’s why deserts are found in hot climates. You won’t find any deserts in cold climates. Because in temperate climates the earth always has a chance to recuperate its powers. In the hot climates however, sometimes the sun shines continuously with such heat, and the earth continues to produce and produce until it becomes arid and finally loses all its energy. So the cold weather is mamash a yeshuah, a lifesaver. The cold weather is the reason that next year there will be crops again. The crops are a result of the cold weather that gave the earth a chance to recuperate. So next summer, when you’re about to bite into a delicious peach, remember to thank Hakodosh Boruch Hu for the cold winter that prepared the earth to give you this peach. And when you walk in the cold today, remember to thank Hashem for all the delicious fruit that the cold weather is preparing for you. You know, the earth uses up all of its energy to produce for us. But when the cold comes, all the leaves fall onto the ground. And the leaves are fertilizer. After a while they melt away into the ground. And now comes the cold weather and there’s no more growing. Everything stops growing. The earth stops producing. What does the earth do? It recycles. It recycles all the energy that it had lost and the earth becomes fertile once again. And now in the springtime it is ready to produce again. So the cold is actually a lifesaver for us. Without cold there would be deserts all over America. But the dry deserts are found only in the areas with hot climates like the Sahara or the Arabian deserts because the sun is shining there all year round.

Copyright 2019, Simchas Hachaim Publishing 718-258-7400 x103 To receive Mr. Tikotsky’s weekly email: tikotzky@gmail.com or www.rmillerqa.com Ask Rabbi Miller Fish Tanks Q. Is a fish tank in the home a good way to teach children about the nifla’os of Hashem? A. An apple in the home, put an apple on the table and teach children to admire that apple. Look how beautiful it is, it looks almost natural. It’s so beautiful, and when you finish eating it, inside there is a coupon! You spit out the seeds that entitles you to another plant, another fruit. And the seeds are wonderful, miracles. So certainly you teach a child nifla’os haborei. You want a fish tank? Nothing wrong, but you don’t need it. Any time you open an orange, say, “My child. Why is the orange so beautiful on the outside but when you open up the skin, there is no color on the inside of the skin?” You know that’s a kasha that no scientist can answer! They will stand on their heads, they can’t answer that. There is only one answer. Hashem wants you to see the color. Once you open it up, you see the color inside, but you’ll it eat anyhow. And so the purpose of color is chesed. Not only does He give you something to eat, He gives it “B’chein, b’chesed, b’rachamim Hu nosein lechem l’chol basar” (Birkas Hamazon). He makes the color to make you happy. We don’t need color underneath. So color is not an accident. And therefore, certainly at home teach your children nifla’os haborei, but first teach yourself. Teach yourself first. 70

// 845.371.2222 BRINGING HOPE, HEALING AND THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF CARE TO PATIENTS. FEATURING: DR. AZRIEL HIRSCHFELD MD. The Refuah Infusion Center. The Refuah Infusion Center was founded to make it easier for patients coping with a di�cult illness to get the treatments they need. Until recently, if a patient wanted to receive chemotherapy at a top quality facility that provides the highest standards of care, they had to go through the exhausting ordeal of going into NY each time, for every single treatment, sometimes several times a week. Seeing how di�cult and draining this was, RefuahHealth knew something had to be done to make things easier for these brave �ghters. Always looking to provide patients with the highest level of care, RefuahHealth reached out to world-renowned Oncologist Dr. Azriel Hirschfeld. They asked him to lead and guide RefuahHealth in opening an Infusion Center at their main location in New Square that will provide patients locally with the high standard of care they deserve. It didn’t take long for Dr. Hirschfeld, who is famous for both his expertise in the �eld and limitless dedication to his patients to agree. Dr. Azriel Hirschfeld When I asked Dr. Hirschfeld what drew him to pursue a career in a di�cult �eld such as Oncology, his answer was extremely telling of the kind of person and doctor he is. “Although it can be emotionally heavy, there’s a real opportunity to make a di�erence and help people. I can guide them and advocate for their wellbeing at a time when they can use all the help they can get.” Dr. Hirschfeld explained. “Professionally, it is also a rapidly developing �eld. There are constantly new treatment options becoming available which allows for renewed hope and new options for patients.” Dr. Hirschfeld started his career in Oncology, healing patients under the guidance and mentorship of the legendary Dr. Bruckner. After 10 years of working with Dr. Bruckner and studying his unique approach to treatment, Dr. Hirschfeld earned a name for himself in the industry as a leading Oncologist who explores cutting edge developments in the �eld and tries to �nd new options to treat patients with even di�cult forms of the disease. He is renowned as a doctor who is willing to explore new treatment protocols including clinical trials, if he feels it can bene�t his patients. Dr. Hirschfeld eventually opened his own private clinic, The Hirschfeld Oncology Center, which quickly earned a stellar reputation as a leading clinic in the �eld. In 77
FEBRUARY 5, ‘25 // order to treat the large volume of patients turning to the clinic for help, Dr Hirschfeld eventually trained his sta� to work under his guidance this way enabling him to help more patients. What’s unique about Dr. Hirschfeld is that despite the success and rapid growth of his practice, he is still personally involved in every case. He treats his patients with unusual warmth and dedication, caring for them as if they would be friends and family. To him, it’s not just charts, numbers and results. He listens to everything the patient has to say, reviews the �les and develops a customized treatment protocol. He takes into account the patient’s unique circumstances and medical needs and does everything in his power to not only cure them with Hashem’s help, but also make the whole ordeal easier to bear. It wasn’t only Dr. Hirschfeld’s exceptional track record in successfully treating even the most di�cult cases that prompted RefuahHealth to reach out to him to lead and establish the Infusion center. It was the heart, warmth and caring with which he treats every patient, as he gently guides them through the process, secure in the knowledge that they’re being treated by a doctor who genuinely cares about them and their wellbeing. A new reality. When we spoke to Dr. Hirschfeld, he shared with us how amazed he was at the vision and dedication of the RefuahHealth administration. He pointed out that health centers, especially large ones, are usually run like big corporations with one goal in mind - to make more money. But not RefuahHealth. “I discovered a new reality.” Dr. Hirschfeld shared. “ A health center that despite operating on a large scale still has only one goal - to provide better care for their patients and make things easier for them.” “When RefuahHealth �rst reached out to me,” reveals Dr. Hirschfeld, “The request was as follows:” "We have numerous patients who live in the Monsey and the surrounding area who despite being ill, have no choice but to spend hours and hours commuting to the city every time to receive their prescribed chemotherapy treatments. These patients are su�ering enough without the added hassle and discomfort of traveling all the time. We need to do something about this to make things easier for them.’” Refuah’s goal with opening the Infusion Center was clear. They were determined to o�er a service to the community and make things easier for those �ghting a di�cult disease. Every patient, no matter who they are and who is treating them, can now arrange with their doctor to receive their treatments locally at the Refuah Infusion Center. A unique center for healing. “When it comes to infusion centers there isn’t usually much room for innovation.” Dr Hirschfeld explains. There’s the standard equipment and sta� that every infusion center has; hospital beds, comfortable armchairs, some basic medical equipment, quali�ed nurses who can administer the chemotherapy to the patients, and doctors who can monitor and supervise treatment. “Yet, RefuahHealth still found a way to create a better experience for their patients.” admires Dr. Hirschfeld. The atmosphere at the infusion center is calm, private and as pleasant as possible. They’ve thoughtfully provided anything a patient could possibly want or need; food, hot and cold drinks, reading material, seforim, books, music, entertainment and more. If there’s something that could make the ordeal more bearable for patients, it’s there. A need to do more. Dr. Hirschfeld recounts that one day one of the administrators of RefuahHealth came into his o�ce and asked him a question he found strange: “What else can we do to make things easier for our patients?” the administrator asked him. “I honestly didn’t know what to answer.” Dr. Hirschfeld tells us. “You’re already doing everything possible for your patients.” Dr. Hirschfeld told the administrator. “You’ve made sure that your patients have a comfortable, pleasant place where they can get their treatments, close to home, sparing them a grueling commute into the city. What else can you possibly do?” “I have an idea…” The administrator told Dr. Hirschfeld. “As you know, patients need to take a blood test before they can get their infusion and that takes time. They have to wait here until it’s sent to the lab and the results come back, and only then can they get their treatment. How about we send someone to their home to do the 78
// 845.371.2222 blood test there so that by the time the patient gets to the Infusion Center they can get started with the treatment right away and get home faster…?” “I was stunned.” recounts Dr. Hirschfeld. “You can really do that?” Dr. Hirschfeld asked the administrator. “Of course!” he replied. “Why can’t we do it for them?” The very next day, it became standard practice at the Refuah Infusion Center for all patients to get the special service of having someone come to their home to get their bloodwork done in advance. Better care for all. Some have wondered if the Refuah Infusion Center is only for Dr. Hirschfeld’s patients or if patients being treated by other doctors can also bene�t from this service. The answer is that any patient can receive their treatments at the Refuah Infusion Center if their doctor agrees. Dr. Hirschfeld and the sta� will work with any doctor to provide the best care possible for the patient. The doctor can send his exact prescription and directions to the Infusion Center and the treatment will be administered according to his instructions. As soon as the infusion is completed, the patient will be given all the information to pass on to their doctor, or it can be sent directly to the doctor through RefuahHealth. For those interested, Dr. Hirschfeld has an o�ce at RefuahHealth where he follows patients and can be contacted for private consultations. Innovative care. Challenging the status quo and bringing about much needed change is never easy. It takes leaders and innovators like RefuahHealth to identify a need and with their singular focus on providing the very best care for every patient, �nd the right solution. The Refuah Infusion Center is a testament to RefuahHealth’s dedication to the community and their passionate desire to make things easier for every single patient on their road to recovery. 79
