Benny took the crisply folded linen she’d indicated and found a spot for it inside the suitcase. Then he took a deep breath. “So we’re doing this, huh?”
Benny returned home from night seder that Thursday night to find a suitcase open on the dining room table.
“Need help packing?” he asked Tziporah.
“Thanks,” she said. “The kids’ Shabbos clothing is on the couch — can you put it here, then their pajamas on top, and we also need some diapers.”
Benny followed her instructions and stowed the clothing neatly inside the suitcase. “What time does the bus leave?”
“There are buses the whole day,” Tziporah said. “Malky Baum — you know, Rochel Leah Stern’s sister — said the apartment should be ready for us around three, and that we should bring along our own linen. So we have to pack that too.”
