THE RABBITS DoWRY.
Translated for The Hebrew Standard
from the German.
BY soF-Tov.

The Jewish community of B.,
town in the northern part of Bohemia,
was greatly puzzled. What had be-
come of their new young Rabbi? He
was expected to enter upon his duties
on the coming Sabbath. The presi-
dent of the congregation, with four
of the prominent members, had gone
in two carriages, the finest in town,
to the nearest city, ten miles away, to
fetch their chosen leader. But they
looked for him in vain. At his lodg-
ings they were told that he had left
the city that very day When they
many one sighed and prayed that
night for the welfare of the young
Rabbi
Meanwhile the missing Rabbi was,
unknown to his congregation, right in
their midst He had lodged the car
riage with all the reception formal
tiles, and had walked all the distance
with his wallet slung over his Shout
ders.
On his arrival he inquired for the
way to the 'iHekdish," the public inn,
which in those days-our story dates
from about 200 years ago-was main
tanned by every Jewish community for
the shelter of any needy Wayfarer,
commonly known as the "shnorrer."
There he was given the address of the
president of the congregation, who dis
tributed the tbillets" for the Sabbath.
The billets in this case had refer
ence only to the eating, as lodging was
provided for in the "Hekdish"
But why did he come like common
"shnorrer" to the place of his future
life work?
There was something in the nature
and mental makeup of the young
Rabbi which we moderns call roman
tic. He was not satisfied with the
commonplaces in life. He wanted his

en- said rather plaintively.
The young Rabbi could tell from the
tone of the voice that he was not well
come. Yet he advanced, curious to
get look at the owner of the voice
There, in the low-ceied, dusky kitch
en- they stood facing each other. She,
a girl of less than II years, blooming
as a flower, with a face all purple
from the heat of the kitchen stove; he,
a tall, slender young man, with the
paleness of face peculiar to Talmud
students.
IF l am too late" he said, after an
awkward pause, Il will 60 l don't
want to be burden to anybody"
who said that you would be bur
den to us?' quickly responded the
girl. Stay stranger, stay, there will
be enough for all of u.s."
The young Rabbi then handed her
the billet She took it with slight
trembling of her hand which did not
escape his notice.
He walked back to the "Hekdish'
to prepare himself for the Sabbath
Though of romantic turn of mind, he
was nevertheless very scrupulous
about his appearance.
Soon the sun was declining over the
distant hills and the people came from
all sides to meet the princess Sab
bath
In the synagogue he sat on the
bench set aside for strangers. But his
neat appearance did not fail to at
tract the attention of the worshippers,
and the president who in the earlier
part of the day had so gruffly met
him, even went so far as to invite
him to take a seat next to him. But
this he modestly declined.
Night had come. Stars twinkled III
the skies; a slight breeze played in
the bleak locks of the young Rabbi
and famed his hot cheeks as he made
his way after the service to the place
he was billeted for When he entered
the house he found the whole family
at the table chanting "Sholem Ale
chem" to the Sabbath At the head of

shaping of his life. Having from
childhood been a student of that stu
pendous work, the Talmud, he had pre-
served within his soul that freshness
of view which cares little for out
ward appearances, however splendid
but tries to fathom the true reality
of all phenomena.
To be met in solemn procession and
received with all the honors accorded
a spiritual leader would have salts
fled the ambition of any ordinary
young man But not so with this
young Rabbi.
What profit is it to him to have all
the honor and glory from people he
did not know personally, and who, in
turn, did not know him? He would
rather get a good knowledge of his
people than be the recipient of empty
honors.
Hence his resolution to travel I'm
cognito"
When he arrived at the house OF
the president of the congregation to
get his You came rather late" a
harsh voice snapped at him, the 9th
ers have gobbled up all the good bill
let's. There is only one left, and that
won't make good Sabbath.
The Sabbath is good wherever
there is pious congregation" replied
the young Rabbi, with quiet dignity.
Il mean it we'll with you. continued
the president in a softer tone This
billet assigns you to family of eight,
whose head, Lesser Kollin, is a poor
man and sometimes doesn't know him
self how to get the wherewithal to
prepare for the Sabbath, You better
eat at my house"
With a grateful bow the Rabbi
pocketed the billet and was soon
standing in the open kitchen door of
the modest house of Lesser Kollin.
"Who is there?" asked a voice from
the dark kitchen.
ut is l." said the Rabbi, bending his
head very low out of necessity, the
kitchen door being too low 81 bring
