Theme And Variation
During the Arab riots in 1934,
bus traveling from Jerusalem
to Tel Aviv was ambushed and
attacked by a gang of Arabs. A
passenger urged the driver in
Hebrew "Od gaz," stay on the
as, whereupon a woman wrung
her hands and lamented in
Yiddish, "Woe is me. Here we
are being attacked, bullets are
flying and they speak Hebrew!'
In another version of the
theme two Yiddishists were
promenading on a busy Tel Aviv
street. "The Zionists," said one
1 f them, "are claiming that
Hebrew is the mother tongue
of the children. I can prove by
a simple experiment that they
a re wrong. I'll box the ear of a
p assing child and I am sure it
wi ll cry out 'Mame' and not
`Ima'." As he performed the ex-
periment the child victim turned
on him and shouted "hamor"
(ass). "I am afraid," nodded the
other Yiddishist, "that there is
some truth in the Zionist claim,"

At the table the young man
verheard the guests whisper-

philosopher absorbed in medi-
ation. Another thought he
m ight be a day-dreaming poet.
E Still another remarked "that
boy is just a natural-born fool

young man arose and said:
`Reb shadchen, let's go, I've
already been found out."
