Last August, I was visiting my grandparents at their home in Los Angeles. I live in Moscow and travel often to the US, and I try to make it a priority to fly to L.A. at least once a year to visit.
Sitting in the living room with my grandparents on that summer night, I inquired about a family member who was turning thirteen and whether he will be having a Bar Mitzvah, and how I could help him celebrate one.

Leaving Erev Shabbos from the country, heading home to Crown Heights and taking precaution with extra traveling time, was the plan…Figuring Woodbury Commons Outlets were only about an hour and half from NY, we decided to stop. Still having enough time to make our way back, we started our journey; a journey that began with complete panic and ended with total appreciation.
Who would have known that traffic on the inbound George Washington Bridge would be so backed up? With no movement in site, we were clearly at a standstill. Our first thoughts; the famous story of our dear uncle, Rabbi Levitansky ob”m, stuck at the gas station the entire Shabbos. We strongly believed that everything would work out. The only differences were; we were traveling with six people (the two of us, our 20 month old twins, newborn baby and sister-in-law) and were headed towards the bridge with no gas station in sight…
Breathe in breathe out…
