Ehven Mikvah Hop 5769: Utica and President
The mikvah on Utica and President was closed for renovation. Apparently, it is due to reopen just days after we are due to leave Crown Heights…
Looks like it’s time to start planning another Mikvah Hop for our next visit…

Ehven Mikvah Hop 5769: Mikva Yisroel
The mikvah on 749 Eastern Parkway is the closest to our vacation rental, so it’s the one we’ve been visiting most often.
The water is warm and reasonably clean, addmission is only $1 per user per visit, and the facility is comfortable even when crowded.

A Massage Therapist’s work is never done! While visiting Boro Park, I was recruited to speak about massage to the bas mitzvah aged girls of the Gan Israel. It was great fun for me and the girls. They learned how to give a nice chair massage to each other, and then received one from me. Hopefully, they all went home and gave their mothers an unexpected massage!

770
We had the great honor of having private time in our Rebbe’s office. It was more inspiring than I had anticipated.

Every Chossid yearns for Yechidus (a private, one-on-one meeting) with his Rebbe.
For now, a “private audience” with our Rebbe’s office will have to do.
We want (read, “need”) Moshiach now!

The Ehven Family practice of “face eating” was successfully passed to the next generation this morning, albeit with a slight twist.
Instead of Tatty eating kinderfaces, as has been the custom, Sheina Shira gleefully attacked an appropriately decorated pastry from one of the bakeries in Crown Heights.
Home, Sweet Home
OK, so it’s only home for a couple of weeks. Still, after a day in Manhattan, Crown Heights (Brooklyn) seems like the comfortable country home we so often fantasize about.
OK, OK, so I’m exaggerating a bit…

I was once an avid subway rider in Tokyo. I loved the precision and reliability of the whole Japanese railway system.
But ever since we started planning this NY trip, I’ve been gripped with fear about maneuvering through a busy subway with four children, my parents, and “Wrong-Way-Gilad”.
Will they be able to get on and off fast enough?
