Eyes Wide Open Page #2

and it's his buchershop.

He is starting over with me.

Your father hired him?

Are you sure?

I am starting over with him.

What?

You don't know that.

They say things about him.

I can make inquiries.

Okay.

I don't know what you have heard

not what they say.

Good that you are knowledgeable

yet in spite of your experience,

you don't know this thing.

G-d has created Ezri

and G-d lets Ezri live.

And only Ezri can serve

G-d in his way.

Look at this layabout.

Isral Fisher.

He has been seen with

the daughter of Mordecha, Sarah.

Another one to cause trouble.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here??

Do these surroundings inspire you?

Sometimes.

I didn't want to disturb you.

Continue drawing.

I've only been scrawling.

You're not disturbing me.

Continue.

You want to draw my portrait?

Sit down.

Lift your hat.

Relax.

Relax.

Relax your face as well.

So, why did you come?

You were looking for me?

No. I forgot something

in the butchershop.

Hold yourself back.

Hold yourself back.

We have the chance

to elevate ourselves,

to overcome...

to fulfill our mission

in this base world.

This hardship cannot be overcome

if one cannot go beyond it.

Why has G-d created desire?

For the purification of the soul.

We have a mission.

G-d did not make

faulty creations.

The ''fault'' does not exist!

Look at this beauty,

this complexity!

You are a master of this work!

The challenge a man must meet

is he himself.

And this is ours.

We alone overcome it.

Any ordinary man

cannot understand this.

Today I went to the ritual bath.

Help me.

Aaron?

Aaron?

What?

Can you help me with the meat?

Come.

Turn around.

Softly.

Softly.

A bit more.

Rise up.

Help me.

Through here.

Have you finished?

In a moment.

Okay?

Very good.

Why are you so serious?

Smile. I'm done.

Smile!

Okay?

Are you hungry?

I'm hungry.

So, let's eat something.

You haven't already eaten?

No. I waited for you.

You have a lot of work?

Thanks to G-d.

That's good, isn't it?

Yes.

I met Rabbin Weizman

who is overjoyed

that the butchershop has reopened.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

It's good we're open for the holidays.

Hallowed and blessed be His name.

... that His Kingdom may be announced

in our days

and alive in the House of Israel

in a time near at hand

and all say ''Amen''.

Amen.

He is continuing to see Sarah.

Who?

Isral Fisher.

The boy I showed you.

Look at his father.

The man is suffering.

It's hard to find a groom for Sarah.

How are you, Sarah?

Quite well, thanks to G-d.

My order is ready?

Yes. Right away.

Papa!

Don't run around here.

You know that.

Papa, I have to go to the toilet.

Here you are.
