19 Tishrei The men have been trying to fix the Rabbi's roof, but it has turned out to be quite difficult. Shmuel tells me that what at first appeared to be a simple job has turned into a major building project. Water has been seeping into awkward places for years and the whole house has pockets of mould. They will need to have a priest come to examine it when the weather improves. In the meantime they will have to shut the place up. Rabbi seems most content to stay with us for the winter. He's making himself useful babysitting when the twins are asleep, anyway, and Rivkah has already asked him if she can call him Grandpa. I thought it a little disrespectful, but he said it would be an honour. She is quite impressed with his hugs too, and she loves the way his beard tickles. Shmuli is quite happy to call him Rabbi, he thinks all the hugging is rather "soppy".
