I recently spent some time laughing hysterically while playing board games withmy kids. There’s nothing better than watching a kid unleash an enormous laugh,is there? It got me thinking about the manythings we can learn from child’s play thatapply directly to our lives today as hard-driving, world-conquering, eat nails-for-breakfast adults:

1. You Need a Challenge. With nearlyevery game ending in a tie, the primitive andsimple game of tic-tac-toe gets old in aboutthree minutes. That’s because human growthand fulfillment come in the midst of challenge.“A smooth sea never made a skilled mariner”,the English proverb states. We are meant to takeon complex challenges, gaining confidencethrough achievement. If you are feelingstretched, this is a good sign and indicates youare becoming stronger and more powerful.Conversely, if you find yourself punching theclock and mastering your surroundings, it’s timeto push yourself to a more challenging game.

2. Listen to Your Instincts. Remember thegame “You’re Getting Warmer” where one kid isblindfolded and has to find another. With eachstep, the other kids chant “you’re gettingwarmer” or “you’re getting colder.” Try playingthis game by yourself. It turns out we have anincredible ability to tap into our own intuition ifwe simply listen. When you make variouschoices in life, your instincts tell you if you’regetting warmer or colder. Deep inside, youknow if your moves are driving you closer toyour life’s vision or if your choices are destructive and luring you away from reachingyour potential. Kids listen to their intuition, butwe adults often fail to hear.

3. Playing the Game is the Fun Part. Imagineyou’re “it” in a game of hide-and-seek, but when

you open your eyes everyone is in plain sight.Sure, you “won” the game but it certainly wasn’tenjoyable. As adults, we are often so focused onfuture outcomes that we fail savor the moment.In the midst of the game with the rush of uncertainty, we find joy and delight. When thegame is over, kids insightfully say, “let’s playagain!” It’s time to start enjoying the journey instead of postponing our happiness.

4. It’s Best When It’s Your Turn. Every kidwants to go first because they get to be the active driver of their experience. Knowing this,why do so many of us relinquish our power andallow life to happen “to” us? Studies show thathappiness at work is often linked to jobs whereindividuals have more autonomy. Of course,this same principle goes far beyond our careers.We’re wired to be the architects of our own ex-istence, not the subjects of others. In an erawith nearly limitless possibility, there’s no reasonyou shouldn’t be calling your own shots.

In today’s turbulent times, many of us are in astate of imbalance, stress, or even panic. Yetsometimes the most potent insights are right infront of us. As my 14-year-old son likes to tellme, “get your head in the game, Dad.”Go ahead. It’s your turn to spin the wheel.

Miracles. That is what the holiday of Chanukahis all about. The triumph of the weak over thestrong. One day's worth of oil lasting for eightdays. Miracles are events out of the normalcourse of everyday life. The B'nai Yisaschar's explanation of the nature of miracles illuminatesthe uniqueness of our holiday celebration.The Hebrew word for miracles is "Nes." The

B'nai Yisaschar defines a "nes" as an action,from G-d, that is supernatural. The word "nes"also means the sail of a boat. The sail of a boattowers over the boat from above. The sail enables the boat to move along, to travel in apath. A miracle is an outward display of G-d'sdivine providence. G-d's providence directs themovement of our lives, and keeps us on thepaths we have chosen. When one looks up at thebillowing sail of a boat, one can see that there isa force controlling which way the boat is traveling. When a person experiences a miracle,it becomes clear that there is a force controllingthe direction of his life. The choice of the word"nes" to encapsulate the meaning behind a supernatural occurrence should not be lost onus.The word "nes" is a short one. It is composed

of two letters: "nun" and "samech." The Talmud(Berachos 4b) writes : Rav Yochanan says: Whyis there no "nun" in Ashrei (Psalm 145, which isarranged alphabetically, except that the verse beginning with the letter "nun" is missing)? Because the fall of Israel's enemies (euphemisticfor Israel) begins with it, for it is written (Amos5:2): Fallen (which in Hebrew begins with"nun") is the virgin of Israel, she shall rise nomore. . . .Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak says: Evenso, David refers to it by divine inspiration andpromises them an uplifting, for it is written(Psalms 145:14): Hashem supports (which inHebrew, begins with "samech") all the fallenones.

The letter "nun," as the Talmud states, represents downfall, suffering, and misfortune.The letter "samech," which in the alphabet, andin the word "nes," follows "nun," represents uplifting, salvation, and redemption. A miracle,a "nes," is the combination of these two elements: we are faced with trials and tribulations, and our situation is perilous. Yet,through divine providence, a supernatural occurrence rescues us and provides us with sal-vation. The word "nes" is a reminder of the upsand downs in life and the role that G-d has inour lives.Chanukah, as the prayer Al HaNissim recites,

celebrates the delivery of the strong into thehands of the weak, the many into the hands ofthe few, . . . the wicked into the hands of therighteous. This victory sent a message that resonates until this day: our victories and suc-cesses in life, while brought to fruition throughour efforts, are truly a result of divine provi-dence. When the odds are against us, we can stillprevail. When we have reached a point fromwhere we believe we can go no lower, when oursituation is dire, we should not despair. Salvationcan come. A one-day supply of oil can last foreight days. Small bands of ordinary people candefeat trained warriors in battle. Miracles canhappen. It is up to us to recognize them and appreciate them. Merely reflecting on the meaning of the word for miracle can enhancethat appreciation.

INSECTS IN BARLEY

RECENT INFESTATION – NOVEMBER 6, 2012

In recent weeks, consumers and kashrus profes-sionals have noticed an unexpected increase of in-sects in barley. After inspecting many pounds ofbarley from an assortment of manufacturers sold inthe local Chicago area stores frequented by kosherconsumers, we have come to the following conclu-sions:

• Three distinct types of insects were discovered: atan-colored worm, a black crawling insect, and ablack fast-crawling insect with wings. Each insectwas approximately half as long as a barley kernel, andmost could be seen crawling. See http://1.usa.gov/UkRxBt andhttp://bit.ly/UkRoxT for pictures and descriptionsof the insects.

• Some packages of barley were completely freeof insects and others were heavily infested.

• Certain brands and dates of manufacture seem tobe more infested than others.

In our Chicago community, the Jewish-ownedstores have agreed to remove some of the mostheavily infested produce from the store shelves, butother lesser-infested produce remains. For consumerlooking for yoshon barley, we have found that Gefenbarley with a date code of “07/02/14 Yoshon”(being sold in local stores) appears to consistentlyhave little or no infestation. This and all other vari-

eties should still be checked, as described below.The infestation is not limited to Chicago and has

also been reported in other communities. • The incidence of infestation did not seem to de-

pend on the store where the barley was being sold.• Due to the fact that infestation generally occurs

after the grain is packaged, infestation was foundeven in containers bearing a reliable kosher logo.

We therefore recommend that during the monthsof November and December 2012 kosher con-sumers inspect their barley before using it, as per thefollowing procedure:

• Place a small pile of barley – an ounce or two ata time – on a white plate or other surface.

• Use a finger or credit card to drag a small amountof barley away from the pile, spreading that barley ina single layer.

•Visually inspect the spread-apart barley to be surethere are no insects between or under the kernels.

• Repeat the latter two steps until the entire pile hasbeen checked. Then repeat the steps for the rest ofthe barley in the package.

Visit http://bit.ly/Y7tdbc for a short video whichdemonstrates the above procedure and shows somepictures of insects to be alert for.

• If a significant number of insects are found in apackage, the entire package should be discarded orreturned to the store. Otherwise, the barley may beused after inspection.

• The above procedure should be followed for bar-ley, mixes which include barley (e.g. cholent mix, soupmix), and barley in any other form.

It is also prudent to follow the above proceduresfor all small grains, such as barley, rice and oats, at alltimes. Consumers who will store barley or othergrains for extended amounts of time (e.g. for yoshonuse) are advised to store such products in the refrig-erator or freezer so as to prevent infestation. In thecoming weeks, we intend to continue monitoring thesituation and will issue updated directions as needed.

It was the last day of Chanukah on a Sunday.We got the call early in the morning. The housewas filled with excitement. A young lady weknew very well, who is now a mother of a wonderful Jewish family, was studying for conversion at that time and she had finally gotten the “go ahead”. When she called us thatmorning she enthusiastically shared with us herbeautiful new Jewish name, and invited us to asmall Chanukah party. My wife and I made thelong trek out to Long Island. She was brimmingwith joy surrounded by supportive families andfriends. The table was filled with brunch goodies and we all sat down to eat -sing and celebrate.At one moment one of the lead Rabbis there

nudged me gently and said," Nu Reb Label, saysomething!" I have to admit I was woefully unprepared for the sudden invitation. I askedhim if we can sing another song and we did.During the musical interlude a question occurred to me that I am not sure if I heardfrom a reliable source or if I had thought of itmyself. I apologize for not remembering. This is

what I shared!Why is this day, the eighth day of Chanukah ti-

tled" Zos Chanukah”? Of all the days ofChanukah, that name" Zos Chanukah", whyshould the eighth day after all the candles are extinguished be called" Zos Chanukah"!? Usually the word Zos or Zeh – “this” is reservedfor times when there’s something to point to.When the Jewish people went through the split

sea they declared, "This is my G-d…" Rashi tellsus that they all witnessed loftiest of visions...When Moshe was introduced to the Mitzvah ofthe new month he was told," this month is foryou…" Again we are informed by Rashi thatMoshe was shown a sliver of the moon. In eachcase the word "Zeh"–"this" means somethingwas at hand.Similarly when a Torah scroll is lifted in

synagogue congregants gather around and pointwith their finger while reciting, "This is theTorah that Moshe placed before the children ofIsrael by G-d through the agency of Moshe"Many are careful to position themselves to seethe script inside the scroll while indicating with

That's ChanukahBy Rabbi Label Lam www.torah.org


a finger. Why? So the declaration should betruthful.Why is this time without visuals called “Zos

Chanukah”? The simple answer is that over thecourse of the eight days of Chanukah we read inthe Torah about the inaugural activities of theheads of the tribes which concludes on theeighth day of Chanukah when we say," this is theinauguration of the altar”. It is followed byAaron’s invitation to light the menorah of theTabernacle. It is because of those words,"ZosChanukas HaMizbeach” “this is the dedicationof the altar”- this day is titled based on the firsttwo words," Zos Chanukas...". Still there mustbe something more.Chanukah is an expression of -Chinuch-

education. How do we know when educationhas taken place? Sure when we look into theclassroom and watch the teachers teaching thestudents learning we assume that that's education. However, that might just be theprocess of education. How can we measure

when education has taken place?One of my Rebbes used to tell us that the final

exam, the symptom that Torah learning has beenabsorbed into psyche of the student is when onesees how they behave in the dining room andwith each other after the classes are complete.Here too, after the lights are out, after eight fulldays of lighting the Chanukah candles, after allthe scholastic activities are concluded a burningquestion remains. Somebody once came to agreat Rabbi and boasted with extra pride,"Rabbi, I finished the entire Talmud!" TheRabbi, sensing his haughty attitude answeredhim sharply, “And what did the Talmud teachyou?!"After eight days of lighting the Chanukah

candles, eight full days of expressing dedication-honoring the education process, we might wonder," what have the candles ignited in us?!"When all the lights are out and there is no onethere to watch, when all the teacher-types haveretreated, then what remains, that's Chanukah!

"I Started Marci's boot camp about 2 years ago. Prior to that I was a real gym rat where I THOUGHT I was working out! I must say that no spinning, weight lifting, dancing, yoga, or anything else can be as challenging and rewarding as Marci's workout! Its complete and total conditioning of your body. You will get to do an exercise for every single muscle in a different way! Also, its a pleasure to be working out with an incredibly positive and warm person that charges your batteries for a whole day. Nelly G. – Chicago "My wife is 50+ and has been working out at Marci's boot camp for two months. If you ask her, she would talk about her improved skin tone and the 11 pounds and 2.5 inches off her waist that she has lost. But if you ask me, what I've really noticed is her boost in energy and how much better she feels about herself. She has tried losing weight before, but there is something about Marci's program that has engaged my wife and kept her motivated where others have not. Most importantly, Marci's program has helped my wife to have a healthier life and that is a great gift to our family". A.S. Husband on behalf of my wife – Skokie "I have been with Marci for about 2 years. It is the best workout in the one hour we have together that combines cardio, weight training and toning all in one. For those of us who have minimal time, this is the most effective way to get into shape and stay fit and healthy. Marci makes it fun and upbeat, and always motivating. I love it and what it does for me." Roz I. – Chicago "Marci's boot camp has been a life changing experience for me. I have been going to the gym for about 12 years before starting with Marci and I have never seen the results like I am seeing now. Her enthusiasm and encouragement goes along way! Marci you rock!" L.Z. – Chicago "My favorite thing about my mommy is that she helps me do the monkey bars at the park. It is a good thing that she goes to Marci's everyday to exercise so that she is strong enough to hold me up!" Shia - age 4 - Skokie

"When I started working out with Marci I was so out of shape I was out of breath during the warm up exercises. Now-at the age of 52, I am in the best shape of my life. Marci is always finding new ways to push me to my limit. Whether it is in a boot camp class or private session, the exercise routines are always exciting and fun, combining aerobics, weights and more! Never been so committed to working out and enjoying it this much!" Alida H. – Chicago "I started working out with Marci a few months after having my first baby and have never felt better. Her workouts are efficient, customized, encouraging, and thorough. I always leave feeling that I have toned every part of my body, and I consistently receive positive comments from friends, family, and co-workers on my appearance!" Ellen – Chicago "Marci forces you to use more than 1 muscle group at a time. She utilizes the hour and makes every minute count! 1 hour with Marci can equal 2-3 hours at the gym. Thanks Marci. Your the best!" Simcha A. – Chicago “OMG. My wedding dress needed to be re-altered! I started training with Marci before my wedding to tone up. What a surprise I got at my final fitting when my dress was too big and had to be taken in. I never looked & felt this great! Thank you Marci. Your amazing!” D. K. - Lakeview "Marci is an exemplary trainer. She's smart and knows her stuff. I know I am safe with Marci and I'll never be hurt or pushed inappropriately. At each session, she meets me where I am and brings me along to a level of fitness I never knew possible. I've lost inches and pounds and most of all, I FEEL GREAT!" Rena C. – Chicago “I've been training with Marci for about 2 years. I've seen that every single time I train with Marci, I ALWAYS see and feel great results. Marci's positive, cheerful and warm personality makes my work out all that more enjoyable! I have tried Zumba, gym memberships, aerobics and they're all good, but bootcamp firms and tones your muscles in a way like no other exercise.” L. W. – Highland park
