Chapter 48

When the children were in school, Zofia spent her time helping to prepare the enormous meals for the entire kibbutz. After school, Shana often came to help in the kitchen or work in the laundry. No amount of work was too much. Everyone on the kibbutz contributed everything that they could to keep their community going. In the afternoon, between lunch and dinner, Zofia went to the children’s house to help. She played games, helped with homework, and read to them. Often Isaac joined her when he returned from the fields; hot, sweaty, but joyful. Isaac would come into the children’s house and all of the youngsters would come running to him. He made them laugh, did simple magic tricks, and told them stories. The little ones loved to watch this massive man; their eyes wide, as he told of Noah and his ark, or of Jonah and the whale.

Katja was proud of Isaac and bragged to the other children that he was the strongest and smartest father anyone could ever have. Often Zofia and Isaac stayed at the children’s house late into the night until Katja drifted off to sleep. It was obvious to Zofia that her daughter was thriving; she had friends and a safe place to call home.

While she worked in the kitchen, Zofia looked out the window where she could see Katja play catch or tag with Rachel and Mendel. Zofia sang softly to herself in Yiddish while she heard the children’s laughter in the background. Life was good in Israel.
