This week I’ve tweaked an excerpt from my novel AS ONE MUST, ONE CAN. It also appears in my coffee table book A STONE FOR THE JOURNEY. The scene takes place in 1908 in Arel Gitterman’s tailor shop. He and his wife Havah are terrified that they are about to face the same brutal persecution in America they endured in Eastern Europe.
Arel pointed to an official looking document in front of him. “I’m in big trouble, Havah.”
“What’s that?”
“It’s an indictment from His Honor Judge Wallace. I could go to prison.”
“What crime did you commit?”
“I’ve opened my shop on Sunday.”
“And this is a crime?”
“According to his Sunday labor law we’re required to observe the Christian Sabbath or pay a penalty. We Jews may open our shops, but if we sell anything we’re in violation.”
Her gorge rising, Havah crumpled the paper in her fist. “Every ass likes to hear himself bray.”
