The Sept. 11 essay draws a parallel with Tisha B’Av, saying the opening word of the morning’s kinnos—“Shovas,” meaning that everything came to a standstill—captures how catastrophe can interrupt ordinary busyness and force reflection.

The Glatt Express pilot gives concrete examples of the benefit: educators who purchase $200 in grocery credit receive $240 to spend, while a $500 purchase becomes $600.

The Educator Advantage initiative grew out of the business’s earlier educator-appreciation efforts, including a 20% seasonal discount at Glatt Express and teacher-appreciation events at Lazy Bean Cafe offering free coffee and muffins.
Glatt Express, a local grocery business, is launching a new Educator Advantage program just as the High Holiday season approaches. The three-month pilot gives eligible educators 20% extra value when they buy grocery credit. Educators who spend $200 receive $240 to use. Those who spend $500 get $600 to spend.
The program grows from the store's earlier efforts to support teachers. Glatt Express already offers educators a 20% seasonal discount. The business also partnered with Lazy Bean Cafe to give teachers free coffee and muffins at appreciation events.
How the Educator Advantage Program Works
The pilot runs for three months and rewards teachers who buy Glatt Express grocery credit. The math is simple: a $200 credit purchase becomes $240. A $500 purchase jumps to $600. This extra 20% value helps educators stretch their grocery budgets during the busy holiday season.
Participation is open to eligible educators in the community. The program removes friction—teachers just purchase credit as usual and receive the bonus automatically. No coupons to clip or codes to enter.
Part of a Broader Commitment to Teachers
Glatt Express has built educator support into its business model. The store offers a standing 20% seasonal discount for teachers year-round. Beyond the grocery store, the business has sponsored teacher-appreciation events at neighboring Lazy Bean Cafe.
These events feature free coffee and muffins for educators. The Educator Advantage program represents the next step—moving from discount codes and free treats to a direct cash-value boost on bulk grocery purchases.
Timing Aligned With High Holiday Preparation
The program launch comes as families prepare for Rosh Hashanah and the broader yuntif season. Educators often shoulder extra costs during the holidays—helping students with classroom activities, buying materials, and managing increased family expenses. The 20% bonus offers real relief during peak spending months.
Schools across the community are already preparing young children for Rosh Hashanah through hands-on lessons. Activities include sensory learning with apples and honey, bee science, songs, crafts, and introductions to the shofar. Educators absorb material costs for these programs—another reason the credit boost arrives at a crucial time.
