This story happened years ago
in what was then the outskirts
of Detroit. I was young then,
and full of pep. Hastings Street
was then the Palmer Woods of
the city. The cream of the Jew-
ish population lived there. The
end of East Jefferson was on
the city's outer edges. It was
the only place where a new-
comer to Detroit could find
housing, and that was where I
lived.
Those of us who lived there
managed to keep a kosher house.
At least we thought we did.
One time we found out that the
young man with whom we used
to send our chickens to the
schochet, couldn't quite figure
out why the schochet was worth
the ten cents we were giving
him for the slaughter. So, one
day we were horrified to dis-
cover that for months our chick-
ens had been killed not by the
schochet, but by our delivery
boy, using a razor blade. A
calculated risk, and we had lost.
Four days before one Yom
Kippur I was visited by a man
named Portnoy, who asked that
we come to his house on Yom
Kippur to form a • Minyan, as
his aged father-in-law was very
ill and could not venture into
the city for services. He told me
that the old man never davened
on holidays without a Minyan.
I agreed to come.
That Yom Kippur was on
Shabbos that year. Friday.night
we went for the evening serv-
ices. I went early and met the
pious old man. He thanked me
for coming and noted that we
were good medicine for him.
He had been getting all the
medical attention that h e
needed, but the doctor could
treat only his body. He was a
fine old man. Kept the Sabbath,
never did manual labor on
Shabbos or Yom Tov. He looked

a Shofar. One of the boys ran
home and got his horn on which
he was taken lessons, and blew
us a set of perfect "Tekios."
The old man thanked us very
warmly for coming, and asked
us to be kind to him once more
and come for Sukkot services.
We didn't have to make a de-
cision. Three days after Yom
Kippur the old man's life was
o'rer. We were glad that we had
come for his Minyan to make
the old man happy.

patriarchial, with his lean Jew
ish face, his flowing white hair
under his ancient black yar-
melke. "Payes" covered his ears
with their curled locks, and he
had a fine white beard.
He started the Kol Nidre
aloud from the Machzor. It had
been difficult getting a Minyan,
and there were just ten of us
there.
He davened slowly. He said
that a man who hurried in his
prayers was unable to concen-
trate on the words or on their
meanings. We all agreed. All
but one, that is. And the next
morning, the opposition didn't
show up. We no longer had ten.
We were angry that he had de-
serted us just because the old
man davened so slowly, but we
couldn't worry about that now.
We had to go out and find a
tenth man!
We were having a hard time
of it, as those Jews of the neigh-
borhood who were not with us
had already gone to the syna-
gogues in town. Finally some-
one recalled that on Algonquin
Avenue there lived a person
whom he thought was Jewish,
although he never mingled with
Jews, -a Mr. Kaner. I set out
to see if we couldn't locate him.
We found the house, but our
man was not at home. His wife,
in a thick Irish brogue, told us
that he would be home from
work around noon. He had told
her all about Yam Kippur, and
she was sure that after he had
eaten lunch, he would be glad
to help us out.
But we needed someone im-
mediately. We drafted two kids
whose combined ages totalled
13, gave them each a Machzor,
and count e d them into the
Minya n. Whether this was
strictly according to the rules
or not, we didn't know, but we
were able to tell the old man
that we had a Minyan, and that
we could continue the services.
Around 12:30 p.m. our man
from Algonquin Avenue showed
up, and we were glad to see him,
despite his well-fed look.
After Yom Kippur, we re-
membered that we did not have
