hard to know what Osher was going through; he never spoke much, even when he used to come back. Poor him. Poor them. And they had all hoped so much that at Rav Steinhaus’s yeshivah, Daas Torah, he would finally find the right path. Ariella knocked once and then opened the door. “Ariella!” Her mother was happy to see her. “What a nice surprise! Isn’t today your long day, when you have students all afternoon? Or are you still recovering from your trip?” “I actually started tutoring again, but slowly,” Ariella replied. “I had one student today.” And I stopped in the middle of our lesson. “I’m glad you came. What can I give you to eat? Something warm from lunch?” “No, thanks. I ate pretty late today, and I’m still full. I wanted to talk to you about Osher, Mommy.” Her mother’s smile disappeared as she went back to polishing the fleishig faucet. “About the letter I got from him this morning?” “Letter? I didn’t know about a letter.” “I thought Lakey or Shoshi told you about it. A letter?” She smiled bitterly. “A note is more like it. Green with black and blue leaves again. He wrote…” She leaned on the counter. “That he is learning Torah and that everything is fine. That’s it.” “Very short.” “Osher never liked writing at length.” “Yes…” She opened the fridge. Although she’d said she wasn’t hungry, she was looking for something without knowing what it was. Maybe a bit of air. “He called me, too, Mommy. Last night. But he didn’t say anything new, only that I should tell you that he is somewhere up north and that we shouldn’t worry.” “When did he call?” Her mother opened her eyes wide. “Late last night. Can I have some of this carrot salad, Mommy? Does it have garlic?” “Yes, take a plate from the cabinet. Do you want crackers with it?”
