"In no way can we excuse this couple from not knowing 'what a monster Hitler would become' "
We have known the Morels for more than 40 years, back from our Toronto days. We moved to Israel 22 years ago and were happy to hear that Avrohom and Joyce had joined us in Har Nof.
When Joyce left on one of her trips to New York with Alter, I decided to call Avrohom each week to lift his spirits. We would share divrei Torah (his passion), Toronto hockey (his love), updates on Alter Mordechai (his life), and general issues.
I mentioned to Avrohom that a number of years ago I had undergone two knee transplants and I found in New York a comfortable pair of adjustable slippers. They were now on their last leg, and due to Covid I had no way of getting a new pair shipped directly to Har Nof.
Avrohom called Alter Mordechai who, through his job in a shipping business, was able to arrange for a new pair of slippers to be delivered within three weeks. When I asked Alter Mordechai how much it would cost, he told me, “Twenty-five dollars.” I told him I knew it had to have cost more, but he wouldn’t hear of it.
