Eulogy for an American Boy
- Abstract
THE RABBI, a large moon-faced man with bifocals and only the smallest of beards, announced, “Please rise, the entire congregation.” While he prayed in swift sonorous Hebrew, ushers passed bunches of booklets from pew to pew. Presently the rabbi made a sign to sit. “Open to page four,” he instructed, “where the print is big.”
He read, “Extolled and hallowed be the name of God throughout the world which He has created according to His will. And may He speedily establish His kingdom of righteousness on earth. Amen.”
He was answered, “Praised be His glorious name unto all eternity.”
