THE RABBI-PSYCHOLOGIST

But before Yaakov could even make any inquiries, something happened that tied his hands. Or perhaps made things easier and clearer? He could not decide. He received a phone call from Shaindele’s school. Rabbi Shlomo Halpern’s secretary informed him that he and his wife and his daughter were to meet with the rabbi in his office the next day.

“But I work. I can’t take a day off just like that,” Yaakov protested to the woman, his heart sinking at what this could mean.

“Well, this is up to you. I’ll tell him,” she said without a hint of understanding or compromise. “But in that case, you should tell your daughter not to come in to school.”

He felt faint. But then a sudden anger shot through him like righteous wrath. “Well, in that case, please tell the rabbi that we’ll come only if his son Duvie is also there. Either that, or we’ll come to talk to him when I get home from work. And,” he added pointedly, “Shaindele comes home from school.” He hung up. It didn’t take long for the phone to ring again.

“Seven o’clock,” the woman said.

“Seven thirty,” he answered firmly, then hung up.
