"That bond to a rav, a kehillah, a second home— it’s something worth sacrificing for"
I was pleasantly unsurprised to see the smiling face of our former Shabbos guest, Rabbi Yanky Robinson. Reb Yanky has a well-deserved reputation of seeing a need and filling it. We saw this when he was sitting at our Shabbos seudah, and now the larger Lakewood Community is receiving his goodness as well. This is the chinuch he learned in Telshe Yeshiva of Chicago, and it makes all of us friends so proud to be his dear chaver.
Hopefully this well-deserved spotlight on the trailblazing Reb Yanky will help alleviate the bus-driver shortage, and people will stop looking down on those who take the time and effort to drive tinokos shel beis rabban to school.
I know of other choshuve people who also drive school buses — either as primary parnassah or to supplement their full-time jobs — and there is nothing for people to be ashamed of or any reason for their children to be bullied.

Thank you, Mishpacha, for publishing such an enlightening and insightful article by Yosef Zoimen about potential chometz issues, even in circumstances where typical kashrus issues are not implicated. Given the availability of a well-made, completely kosher product at a reasonable price, it is surprising that one does not encounter the special kosher run of Buffalo Trace more frequently at simchahs and other communal events. I look forward to more articles from this engaging author about the intersection of kashrus and spirits.
