escaping the clutches of learn
ing’s long, long day.
An empty beer can rolls
into a gutter.
A tired seatless easy-chair,
discarded, decorates the side
walk, full of empty promise.
A rebbe, silhouetted, emer
ges from a squalid hall, kisses
the Mezuzah in lingering con
secrated caress, before he
strides down the street with
towering attendant in tow.
A young girl leans against
a water-hydrant, waiting,
wondering . . . wistful.
Walk on. And as you wan
der, ponder: on improbable
plaques, on tongue-tangling
appelations beyond the
reaches of transliteration, on
concepts abstract yet con
crete as cash. Kupath Ram-
bam Kolel Polin, Slabodka
Yeshiva, General Free Loan
Fund of Jerusalem, M e a
Shearim Benevolent Society,
Synagogue of the United He
brew Community of New
York (did you know that the
Hebrew Community of New
York was united?), office of
Rabbi. Mayer Ball Haness,
House of Menorah, High Rab
binical College of the Kam-
enitzer. From Aleph-Bet to
Teth (Torah or Theatron,
take your choice), you span
life and letters in the space
of those brief blocks.
At junction of Jefferson
Street and East Broadway,
junction of decisive genera
tions, the Educational Alli
ance, sixty-eight years old,
caters culturally for 2,500
people a day. Did you know
that this is where Jacob Ep
stein paid three cents a week
for lessons, where Eddie Can
tor acted, where David Sarn-
off studied English and where
Arthur Murray learned to
dance?
“Ich gehe verdrehen de
televishun!” shrieks an ang
uished father, lugging a dim-
inuitive scholar home to
homework.
“Da kennt ihr kaufen REAL
kosher ice cream,” exults a
notice in a grocery store.
Televishun and “real kosher”
ice cream. Gotham Chemical
Extermination Company,
Primitive Christian Church.
Low cal mandel toast and
jumbo parve cookies. Yiddish
printing presses pulsing.
Streamlined, with wheaten
walls and azure paneling,
Public School 134, in living
loving tribute to Henrietta
Szold. An epitaph refuses to
be written. Construction,
demolition, scaffolding, blue
prints, bricks. The darkling
evening drifts toward a fu
turistic dawn . . . and the
walker drifts toward the “D”
train, the predictable toils of
city transit, the tinsel’d tu
mult of Times Square.
