commingled into continuous
chant that was both doleful and
triumphant as they made their
communion with the All-High.
In the front row stood Meir

British private. This was part
of the service which moved him
most deeply: for he was among
the newcomers to Eretz Israel,

begun. From his native Bessa-
rabia he had come to Bucharest

There was a dull ache in his
heart as he joined in the prayers.
He thought of the loved ones
whom he would probably never
see again, from whom he had
been separated while still in Ru-
mania, and whom he had sought
before deciding that the quest
must be hopeless. He had hoped
against hope that they, too, might

of Israel.
Meir went on praying fervently.
Mingled with his prayers came
fragments of thought and recol-
lection. He thought of Esther,
his betrothed, as he had last seen
her. He had gone off to a neigh
boring town on business-the Ru-

a permit, and they parted with a
