In the evening, a drunken mob, which had assembled on the market-place, laid fire to a number of Jewish stores and houses, inflicting on their owners a loss of many millions. All this took place during the holy Yom Kippur eve.
New Year's falls on the 12th of September, and we must give the house its usual holiday cleaning." "I have begun already. Somehow I never thought you would mind being away." "Why, we always go to the Temple, you know; and I would not miss the Atonement services for a great deal." "Why don't you say 'Yom Kippur, as everybody else does?" "Because 'Atonement' is English and means something to me.
It went out, was smothered under the blanket. The slipper-maker sat up, panting and grateful. His Yom Kippur was saved. The tenement awoke to hear of the fire in the morning, when all Jew town was stirring with preparations for the feast. The slipper-maker's wife was setting the house to rights for the holiday then. Two half-naked children played about her knees, asking eager questions about it.
"You could," says I, "and about a year from next Yom Kippur you might get a notice that your wire had been received and placed on file.

On Sunday, the day before Yom Kippur, when the Jews opened their stores for a few hours, a hired crowd of ruffians from among the local street mob fell upon the Jewish stores and began to destroy and loot whatever goods it could lay its hands on.
Isaac Josephs, slipper-maker, sat up on the fifth floor of his Allen Street tenement, in the gray of the morning, to finish the task he had set himself before Yom Kippur.
