Malka, together with her hus
band and two children, had come
from an Iron Curtain country di
rectly to a kibbutz in Israel soon
after the War of Liberation.
She was young, in her early
thirties; and pretty-softly fem
inine, with large brown eyes and
an olive skin. And she was ro
mantic.
Her husband, Shmuel, a “good”
man, was dependable, hard-work
ing and quite dull.
Every morning Malka got up
with the gong at daybreak, put
on her rough work clothes and
together with Shmuel, trudged to
the Chadar Ochel (dining room)
for breakfast. Then, on to her
job in the children’s kitchen.
Her work was demanding, rou
tine, and un-rewarding. During
the early part of Israel’s history,
times were hard and food was
scarce. The children were given

the best of what there was, but
it required much scraping and
scrimping, and made everyone
unhappy.
Malka sighed often. The years
were passing. She saw her youth
fading without romance, without
excitement, without glamour.
But with the approach of
Purim, Malka stopped sighing.
There was a new lustre in her
eyes, a healthier glow on her face
and her step became lighter, girl
ish.
In Israel, Purim is a time for
parties, for masquerade and
make-believe, and not only for
children, for everybody. For
weeks before Purim, Malka and
her chaverah, Rachelle, were
seen engaged in long whispered
conversations, like conspirators
involved in some secret plot.
One day Malka came into my
room. I was her neighbor, occu
pying the other half of a two-
room prefabricated zriff (bung
alow).
“You’re an American,” she
begpn hesitantly, “you have nice
things. Could I . . . Would you
lend me something for Purim.
I’ll be very careful. I’ll take good
care,” she assured me, “If any
thing should happen, I . . . ”
I opened my trunk. “Take any-
think you like.”

OPKN All NIGHT
Ponce d* L*0O at Highland
Her big brown eyes grew big
ger. She pulled out a long satin
skirt, a lace blouse, a velvet
jacket. ‘Oh, beautiful, beautiful!”
she kept murmuring as she pick
ed up each article and held it
tenderly, caressingly. She also
found a pair of silver slippers,
long white gloves, a pink chiffon
scarf and finally, a rhinestone
necklace.
“On, thank you, thank you,”
she beamed. She had found a
treasure, a rich booty that would
transport her to a glamorous new
world.
Every afternoon now Malka
could hardly wait to finish her
duties in the kitchen before run
ning to Rachelle for consultation,
for trying on, for admiring each
other. It was a busy, exciting
time. And the best was yet to
come.
At last Purim was here, or
rather Erev Purim, the night of
Purim. Dinner at the Chadar
Ochel was a hasty affair that
night. Everyone, not only Malka
and Rachelle, was anxious to run
to his room to make ready for
the important event later that
evening.
And now the kibbutz band
struck up a lively tune, signall
ing the commencement of festiv
ities and the mundane chaverim
and chaverot marching singly and
in pairs, were unrecognizable.
They were gypies, sailors, clowns,
Harlequins and Columbines. Some
had masks covering their faces
and you wondered who they
could possibly be.
Of course there were the chil
dren in costumes ranging from
Red Riding Hood to King Ahas-
seurus.
But there was no mistaking the
dazzling Malka. Smiling flirtati
ously, she tripped along, hardly
touching the floor, on the arm of
her escort” none other than
Chaverah Rachelle, with painted
moustache, derby hat and tux
edo. Lord knows where she got
it. She called it “smoking.”
Malka was in her glory, an ir
resistible, glamorous woman, ex
pecting all men to pay her hom
age. She laughed and danced as
though she could never feel tired
or sad. She was not Malka. She
was Cinderella. She was Queen
Esther, wishing that midnight
would never strike.
But alas it did. Much too soon.
And the ball was over. Not for
Malka, however. Days later she
was still re-living the thrill and
excitement of the brief respite in
her monotonous life. She had pic
tures taken with and without
Rachelle, and had her portrait
painted by one of the kibbutzniks
who happened to be an artist.
She could not part with the lace
and satin that had given her such
pleasure. The pictures, at least,
were something she would keep
to remind her of them.
Finally, relu c t a n 11 y , she
brought back the borrowed fin
ery and as she laid each piece
down on my bed and she re
marked with a deep sigh, “Only
once a year is Purim.”
