„...and most of the seats in the synagogue were already taken. Suddenly he came inside. He strode unhurriedly along the benches and sat down next to his father. I knew him. Boaz, they call him. Fifteen years old, studying in the grade below me in the high-school yeshiva. Even someone who was not especially sharp-eyed could not have missed what passed over the father at that moment.
