How much longer will you bend your neck to the yoke of superstition while your bellies are empty? Who says I shall not smoke? Was tobacco known to Moses our Teacher? If so he would have enjoyed it on the Shabbos. He was a wise man like me. Did the Rabbis know of it? No, fortunately, else they were so stupid they would have forbidden it. You are all so ignorant that you think not of these things.
Simcha groaned and fell into her chair with a crash that rattled the tray and shook the cups. "Here's the end of the week coming," she sobbed, "and I shall have no fish for Shabbos." "Do not blaspheme!" said Reb Shemuel, tugging a little angrily at his venerable beard. "The Holy One, blessed be He, will provide for our Shabbos"
The sight was familiar yet it always struck the simple old Reb anew, with a sense of special blessing. "Good Shabbos, Simcha," said Reb Shemuel. "Good Shabbos, Shemuel." said Simcha. The light of love was in her eyes, and in her hair her newest comb.
The Goyah, which is literally heathen female, did everything required on the Sabbath. His grandmother once called Solomon Ansell a Sabbath-female merely for fingering the shovel when there was nothing in the grate. The Reb liked his fire. "Yes," he said now, "I always freeze on Shabbos when thou hast dismissed thy Shiksah. Thou makest me catch one cold a month."
Can any one show me where it stands that we must not smoke on Shabbos? Is not Shabbos a day of rest, and how can we rest if we smoke not? I believe with the Baal-Shem that God is more pleased when I smoke my cigar than at the prayers of all the stupid Rabbis. How dare you rob me of my cigar is that keeping Shabbos?" He turned back to Wolf, and tried to push his foot from off the cigar.
I'd much rather sweep a room myself than see a Shiksah pottering about for an hour and end by leaving all the dust on the window-ledges and the corners of the mantelpiece. As for beds, I don't believe Shiksahs ever shake them! If I had my way I'd wring all their necks." "What's the use of always complaining?" said Hannah, impatiently. "You know we must keep a Shiksah to attend to the Shabbos fire.
"Of course, it is," said Esther. "Just fancy, Solomon, having to eat toffy all day." "It's better than eating nothing all day," replied Solomon. "But to eat it every day for ever and ever!" said Moses. "There's no rest for the wicked." "What! Not even on the Sabbath?" said Esther. "Oh, yes: of course, then. Like the river Sambatyon, even the flames of Hell rest on Shabbos."
"I so wanted to go I had heard such a lot about it from the boys who had been. When the day of the excursion came my Shabbos coat was in pawn, wasn't it?" "Yes," said Esther, her eyes growing humid. "I was so sorry for you, dear. You didn't want to go in your corduroy coat and let the boys know you didn't have a best coat. It was quite right, Benjy."
