and I was very sad that you did not come for Seder Night in accordance with our invitation. But I respect the agreement between us, according to which you can do whatever you like as long as you do it uprightly and in the sweat of your brow. You didn’t come—so you didn’t come. Never mind. Whenever you want to come, just come. Abram phoned and said you were excellent. We also received very positive greetings from you via Mrs. Janine Fuchs. Well done, Boaz! I was almost the same age as you when I arrived in Paris with my parents from Algeria, and I worked hard as an apprentice to an X-ray technician (he was my uncle) so as to earn a little money. By the way, unlike you, I only worked in the evenings, because during the day I was studying at the lycée. And it is interesting to compare that I once asked this uncle for a loan for the purpose of purchasing a Larousse dictionary that I needed badly (but he refused).
Which brings me to your request. I enclose postal orders to the value of IL 3000. If you need any further sums, and if you specify a positive purpose, we shall be only too happy to try to comply. As for the interest you mentioned, as a matter of fact I should not be opposed to your repaying the money with interest, but not now, Boaz, but many years from now, when you are rich in commandments and good deeds and also materially (and before then I hope you’ll learn to write without mistakes!!). Meanwhile it would be best for you to continue putting some savings aside. You listen to me, Boaz.
In one respect I was obliged to break your request: your mother knows about the money I am enclosing herewith. That’s because we have no secrets from each other, and with all due respect to you I am not prepared to do any secret deals with you, however worthy the purpose. If this does not meet with your approval, don’t accept the money. I shall close now with warm regards and all good wishes for the festive season.
     
    Yours,

Michael (Michel)

Hello Michel and thanks for the lone. Ive bought the equipment and Ive already started to put it together slowly. Bruno Fuks from the Planetarium (Janin’s husband) is helping me a bit. He’s a good guy. He knows about optics and he doesnt preech. Its my opinion, and dont laugh, that everyone should no one thing very well and do it very well and not tell other people what to do and how to do it. Then therd be a lot more satisfaction in the country and a lot less personal problems. I dont care that much about your wife nowing about the lone I just dont want any complecations with her. With you its difrent. Tell me how did you manage to by the dictionery you needed in Paris? Thanks again and kiss the pretty little girl from me Boaz. PS Anyway Ill start repaying your money slowly starting as from next month. Its your money, right?

Dear Boaz,
Since you asked, I have a responsibility to reply. The money is not mine; it is your father’s. If you come up to Jerusalem for the Sabbath, or for another Sabbath, we’ll gladly tell you all we know about this business (apparently there are some aspects we have not been informed about). Your mother and sister join me in this invitation. Stop being a mule, Boaz, just come and that’s that. We’re planning to build an extension to the flat soon, comprising two extra rooms (toward the backyard) and one of them is for you for whenever you want it. But even before then we always have room for you. So don’t be a child, come for next Sabbath. In my opinion your pride is always pulling you in the wrong direction. I believe, Boaz, that the difference between a child and a man is that a man does not wastefully spill his seed or his pride but keeps them for the right moment, “until it is pleasing,” as the Good Book says. And you’re not a child any
