"I have no money, and they must do their English lessons. Else, perhaps, their clothes will be stopped. Besides, I teach them myself every Shabbos afternoon and Sunday. Solomon translates into Yiddish the whole Pentateuch with Rashi." "Yes, he may know Térah" said Malka, not to be baffled. "But he'll never know Gemorah or Mishnayis."
You lead processions vid bands and banners on Shabbos to de Shools. Many who vould be glad to be delivered by you tremble for de heavenly lightning. Dey go not in de procession. Many go when deir head is on fire afterwards, dey take fright and beat deir breasts. Vat vill happen? De ortodox are de majority; in time dere vill come a leader who vill be, or pretend to be, ortodox as veil as socialist.
As for Simeon, he kept looking at me as if I was his long-lost brother. Ah, there comes our precious minister.... Look here, Mr. Gabriel, I'll have the law on you. Simeon's no brother of mine The sudden appearance of Simeon through the other swing-door cut the speaker short. 'Good Shabbos, said the shameless sinner. 'Ah, Mr. Gabriel, that was a very fine sermon. He stroked his beard.
"Haven't they got no fire-goyas?"; inquired Ikey, and everybody laughed. "Shabbos is a holiday in Hell," Moses explained to the little one. "So thou seest the result of thy making out Sabbath too early on Saturday night, thou sendest the poor souls back to their tortures before the proper time." Moses never lost an opportunity of enforcing the claims of the ceremonial law.
'I work on on Shabbos! The minister flushed to the temples. 'Oh, I'm not blaming you. One must live. In an ideal world of course you'd preach and pray and sing and recite the Law for nothing so that Heaven might perhaps overlook your hard labour, but as things are you must take your wages. The minister had risen agitatedly.
"Yes, but suppose it's Shabbos," swiftly rejoined Esther. Levi was nonplussed. "Well, it can't rain all day and there are only fifty-two Shabbosim in the year," he said lamely. "A man can always do something." "I think there's more pleasure in reading than in doing something," remarked Esther. "Yes, you're a girl," Levi reminded her, "and girls are expected to stay indoors.
'Then you persist in setting a bad example? 'A bad example! To whom? To your godly congregation? Considering every other shop in the town is open on Shabbos, one more or less can't upset them. 'When it is the only Jewish shop! Are you aware, sir, that every other Jew in Sudminster closes rigorously on the Sabbath? 'I ascertained that before I settled here, said Simeon Samuels quietly.
"I haven't settled." "You won't open on Shabbos?" said the Reb anxiously. David hesitated a second. In some business, Saturday is the best day. Still he felt that he was not quite radical enough to break the Sabbath deliberately, and since he had contemplated settling down, his religion had become rather more real to him. Besides he must sacrifice something for Hannah's sake.
"My Ebenezer is Barmitzvah next Shabbos week; vill you do me the honor to drop in wid your moder and fader after Shool?" Daniel crimsoned suddenly. He had "No" on his lips, but suppressed it and ultimately articulated it in some polite periphrasis. His mother noticed the crimson. On a blonde face it tells. "Don't say dat," said Sugarman. "I expect to open dirteen bottles of lemonade.
But perhaps, he admitted, Simeon Samuels resented mere private members or committeemen. Let the Gabbai go. Accordingly the pompous treasurer of the synagogue strode into the notorious shop on the Sabbath itself, catching Simeon Samuels red-handed. But nothing could be suaver than that gentleman's 'Good Shabbos. What can I do for you? 'You can shut up your shop, said the Gabbai brusquely.
