    MAY MOSHIACH COME SOON

    Dear Editor:

    In last week’s issue and many times before, you always wish for Moshiach. It is apparent to me that you do not own a 4 million dollar house in Borough Park, Flatbush or Long Island. The people who own them do not wish for Moshiach to come since their 4 million dollar homes will be worth 25,000 dollars.

    Ignetz Borush

    Editor’s Note: My Rebbe used to say upon buying a brand new home that your house should be a “gutte fliger” as we know the medrash says that all shuls and places of Torah will fly to Eretz Yisroel when Moshiach comes. I’m sure people learn in these houses and their houses will fly to Eretz Yisroel. May we witness it in our time.

     

    QUIET IN SHUL

    Dear Editor:

    Someone showed me a tennis match, and I saw the referee say in a nice and calm way ONCE, please be quiet, and 15,000 people were quiet.

    Then I head someone’s phone rang loud.  Security escorted him off the court, and the entire crowd was happy that this person will not disturb the match.

    So, how is it possible that a Non-Jew, is able to quiet an entire crowd, but a Rabbi of any Shul CAN’T.

    Editor’s Note: Your point is well taken. I will point out one difference: in a shul we are supposed to daven and that will make noise. A tennis match is set up to be quiet. Some people forget themselves because there is some noise from the davening and they may talk because of that forgetfulness.

     

    DIABETIC CONCERNS

    Dear Editor:

    I have a question to ask, why is there NEVER any foods that a Diabetic can eat at ANY type of Kiddish.

    A Diabetic CAN’T have cake, herring, crackers, noodle kugel, potato kugel, kishke, barley, liquor, regular sodas, so what is there left to eat, the paper plate or plastic cups or maybe there is sugar in that too.

    I have asked caterers, but the answer is shocking and confusing.

    I have had this terrible illness for over 15 years, and my blood sugar when I found out I had this terrible illness was at 1,100 and I was still walking, but now B-H, my A1c is 6.2, and in the past few weeks I have lost 20 pounds.

    I was told that a Diabetic should eat in moderation, read labels, test the blood sugar, wear comfortable shoes, check the feet everyday for wounds, visit an eye Dr., etc….

    Diabetes is a painful illness, and it affects the entire body, and there is no remission, this illness has complications such as amputations, strokes, heart attacks, Dialysis, and even DEATH,

    This illness has killed thousands even G-D forbid relatives of yours.

    Someone asked me if there is a Kosher sugar-free store, that ONLY sells foods that a Diabetic can eat, and I said not at this time.

    I myself have been teased, bullied, tempted, but I have the will of Hashem protecting me, and watching over me.

    With Rosh Hashanah coming, maybe it is time for a fresh start to being healthy.

    I was at a location, near to me, that does not understand how to treat a Diabetic.

    Something to think about??

    Editor’s Note: I agree with you; however, I think that it’s probably smarter for a diabetic not to go to a Kiddush at all since caterers cannot be trusted to make sure that everything is sugar-free.

    VISION ZERO

    Dear Editor:

    This vision zero thing of Deblasio is exactly that. It has zero vision. All the city wants is your wallet to have zero money in it. The city considers the driver in the car as a person who is responsible, but yet the pedestrian is not responsible. I see pedestrians crossing streets while texting etc. I wonder if this vision zero has actually saved lives.

    There are cameras all over the place and one can’t avoid getting tickets as people behind you are honking for you to go faster.

    Taxes are high enough!!

    Boruch Yagudav

    Editor’s Note: If Vision Zero saves one life, it’s worth it. A person’s life is worth a lot more than your money.

     

    HEADING HOME

    Dear Editor:

    Thank you for publishing your Country Vues. Now I am going back to Williamsburg. Is there any chance we can get The Vues in Williamsburg?
