A woman stands at a crossroads. Fifty-four years are behind her,
the golden years ahead of her. Who cares? Just an extra line on
a resume. Sima, Mah Chadash's bookkeeper, doesn't think she
looks a day over thirty-five, anyway:At any rate, to Bella, she'll always be maidele. No connection to the anti-
wrinkle creams that Belle sells. And as Esther says, at our age, life itself is the
main thing. And Esther knows what she's talking about. She escorted two
parents who were too young to their final resting place. They're maidele's
parents, too. It's only thanks to her that there's color on their matzeivos.
Life is good, baruch Hashem. She was zochah to Nachum, a husband head
and shoulders above the rest. She cannot let him go back to the seventh
floor! And also four children who are long past childhood: Avigdor, Margalit,
Diti, and Chaggai. Margalit is ashamed of her, Diti ran away to Connecticut,
Avigdor is married to Adina, and Chaggai has yet to marry, but other than all
the above, fortunate is the one who bore them.
The grandchildren are an age-related bonus. She's a proud, full-time
savtuta. Her freezer's always full, baruch Hashem. It's unclear how that's
possible with Avigdor's appetite. And every Shabbos and Yom Tov, she
has to expand the table. If Tuvia plans on closeting himself in his room, he
should say so in advance!
Her work at Mah Chadash is nice, all in all. It fills up the Pesach envelope
hidden behind her creams. Osnat is a wonderful boss on the days they
don't wear the same sweater and each of her colleagues is terrific. Unless
her name is Gila and she's set on becoming her daughter-in-law:
The bottom line is that when she looks at herself, she feels complete.
One hundred percent Shoshi. 50/50 would be more precise.
50/50 is a meeting of body and soul, with the question that awaits us at
every junction: Where to now?
