13 Tevet
I really felt sorry for little Galit today. He had obviously been crying. He pretended to smile as he arrived with the bread, but he didn't join in with the meal as he usually would. He was convinced his baker friend has died. He wanted to find out if Reuven knows what has happened. We're not expecting anyone from Migdal to collect the weaving until next week so I don't know how we could find anything out for him.
As it turned out I had no time to worry about it. It must have been mid morning when we heard the unmistakable sound of a shofar! The recent rain and wind had taken their toll and part of Rabbi Moshe's roof had collapsed. Everyone dropped what they were doing to rescue his treasures and our precious Torah scroll. Fortunately, the scroll itself was unharmed and Uncle Shaul took charge of it. It took the best part of the day to deal with everything. We will have another lodger for a few days until the men can make the repairs but it's a pleasure he tells such wonderful stories. We were so busy I did not notice for some time that the little gang were nowhere to be seen.
