Alice asks,
"Yiddish is a Jewish language not a race. So if your old Jewish
restaurant friend said, "Yerald, I wish you was Yiddish, I'd marry ya
to my daughter!" that is incorrect for a Jewish man to say unless he
was playing a word joke game on you when he would say this.
Where did this take place? What year was it, and in what State ? Just curious !"
Dear one, I have had this comment before when talking about these
people. But other people have said "Oh! That brings back
such memories! My grandmother talked just like that!" These
people used the word Yiddish the same way we would use French, German,
Italian, any word like that. I can't explain to you why they did
it, but it was their way. Only once did I hear the father in the
family use the word Hebrew. And I never, ever heard them use the
term Jew. So I really can't answer your question. I was a
fourteen year old boy back on the coast of Maine in the '60s who just
thoroughly enjoyed the people he was working for four or five hours a
day, three or four days a week. The way they treated me was absolutely
phenomenal! Whenever I came into a room where they were and they
were speaking in their native language, whatever it was, they would
immediately switch to English. They would not talk in front of me
if I could not understand what they were saying. If the father
was talking one of the children would speak up and say "Good morning,
Yerald!" even though they could speak much better English than their
parents. They always referred to me the way their parents did.
They would not think of doing anything else. Only in private
would they use their superior English and call me Gerald. Such
respect for their parents was absolutely beautiful! The father
would ask me advice like I was an adult!
One day
they were discussing rather they should do business with someone or
not. I was down on the floor trying to get a sink back
together that had collapsed the night before. I heard the father
calling my name and I crawled out saying "Yes, sir!" "Yerald," he
asked, "do you know this man? Can you tell us anything about
him?" "Yes, sir," I answered, "unfortunately I do! This man
would steal the shirt off your back if you'd give him the opportunity
to! Never prepay him for anything! He's very slow making
deliveries when he's been prepaid. However, the quality of his
goods is excellent. If you pay for stuff when he delivers it, he's all
right." "Thank you!" the father snapped. "That settles it,
then! We will do business with this person but only on a cash on
delivery basis." Like I said, I was a fourteen year old kid working
part time and they treated me like I was a member of the family!
One time we had some problems with some deputy sheriffs that were
accusing a member of the staff of doing something he couldn't possibly
have done because he was with me at the time. I made it very
clear to the deputies that if they caused this person trouble when they
knew full well he was innocent, people would hear about it. They
decided not to press charges! Afterwards, the father came to me
and said "Yerald, be careful in life. No man should be afraid of
anyone as those men are afraid of you." I smiled and told him I
didn't think there was anything that could ever be done about it.
They would always be afraid of me because I would not let them do the
things they wanted to do, and those things weren't right. I could
never change, and they could never change. So there would be no
way that we could ever be at peace with each other. The old
gentleman nodded, and answered "This is so. It is sad, but it is so."
They were just great people, just
wonderful friends! I will always remember the way they treated
me. If people don't like that, as I say, it's too damned
bad! I will never be ashamed of how they spoke or what they
believed. That is just my nature. I tell things as
close to the way they were as possible. That's my nature.
And I'm not gonna change things because somebody nowadays doesn't like
the way some other people used to speak. As I say, as far as I'm
concerned, people like that can go to hell. I have no use for them, and
I never will! I constantly say I never had much formal education,
but I have had some wonderful teachers.
I've always wondered what happened to these dear ones. When I
returned to Maine years later I could find no trace of them.
People didn't even seem to remember that they had lived in the area or
had a business there. I only found a couple of people that
remembered them, but they had no idea of where they'd gone. The
father had always wanted to immigrate to Israel. I always hoped
he had managed to do it and they had been successful there. But
where ever they are, I'm sure they're still treating people just the
way they treated me, and making the world a little bit better, a little
bit brighter despite all the horror they have seen. If I possibly
can I'll do my best to make sure there's never horror like that again!
