A young woman with dark
damp hair dashes out of a
ritualarium into her waiting
limousine.
The doorway of the semi
subterranean shtiebel frames
four men, grouped around a
candle which casts a spell of
flicker and flame upon the
pre-occupied quartet and the
shadowy ark behind them.
The window of the “Tem
porary Synagogue of the Old
Rabbis,” adjoining the Home
of the Sages of Israel, pic
tures a patriarch so pale, so
frail, so aged, so ephemeral,
that the word “temporary”
loses its temporal quality,
takes on timeless overtones,
hints of a permanent dwell
ing place where an Ever-last
ing Landlord holds a never-
ending lease.
Turn up your collar and
pass on, on, through this syn
copated stretch of a yester
day’s yesterday — through
East Broadway, in fact.
On one side hefty housing
projects, twenty stories high,
blaze with light and life, lift
ing loud-lit well-windowed
heads toward the sky. On the
other hand, the very names
lead back to a jumbled Sho-
lem Aleichem world where
Zyshe Slutsky’s meat is not
just kosher but “kosher-
kosher” and where Noah
Zark supplies such cosmopol
itan comestibles as pizza, do
nuts, knishes and assorted
kosher kick-shaws.
Occupational leidig-gehers
hold crumbling conventions
on the corner of Straus
Square, adjoining periodical
ly for coffee in the Garden
Dairy Cafeteria where bagels
bloom and idlers moon.
On newspaper -padded
stoops clacking cliques of
kerchiefed ladies squat in
quotidian confab on the sins
of sons-in-law and the tal
ents of delicious einiklach, a
gesunt oif zeur keppelach.
Jolly jabbering schoolboys
erupt from sundry yeshiviot,
