Author's Note: The below story contains adult material. Do not continue reading
if you are under age 18 or are offended by such material, this is a pure fantasy
and ALL of the characters and the events are made-up, that story is NOT a sequel
to any of the stories that I borrowed characters from, for example: Justy,
Granny and Valkie are names that I gave those characters.
Part_16b - Sarit's justice.
As Anne closed the door, she saw Simon and Sarit smiling as they heard the good
news. It was the only time in which Sarit didn't play and looked at her step
mother with a pleased look in her eyes as she said: "You did it Anne. Finely
after an entire year in which the Justice was far away, I'm finely can put my
past behind me and start a new life here in Empire-City."
"You welcome Sarit. I told you that good things come to those who wait, don't
you think so Simon?" Anne asked looking at the two teens.
"Yes I do Anne, may I ask you something?" Simon asked as she looked quite
nervously at Anne.
"What?" Anne asked.
"Well, Sarit told me that there are two kinds of Jews: "Franks" and Ashkenazim
and I wanted to know what the difference is?" Simon asked.
"Well Simon: Ashkenazim are Jews who arrived from the western and the eastern
part of Europe who have family names which sounds Europeans, while "Franks" are
Jews who came from one of the three:
1. Areas which were ruled by the Ottoman Empire.
2. People who lived in Spain until 1492.
3. People who were born in countries in the Middle East.
Now, the "franks" and the Ashkenazim may be part of the same religion BUT they
live a separate lives and the way in which they pray are different." Anne
replied.
"What do you mean, Anne?" Simon asked.
"I mean that if for example I'm a "frank" and Latifa is Ashkenazi, then I pray
in one way and Latifa pray in another, thou we both use a sidur." Anne
explained.
"What is a sidur, Anne?" Latifa asked.
"Sidur is a book in which all of the prays can be found. For example when my
parents came to their last resting place we had a problem because I'm an only
child and since I'm not a boy\man then I couldn't read the prays..." Sarit
answered.
"Well then Sarit: it's time to celebrate and not to cry." Anne said as she led
the three other women to her car and drove to a restaurant.
The end of Chapter_16B.
