One of these days, Garibaldi...you're gonna learn to watch your back. [N]

RYRabbi Yossel Koslov

Without forgiveness, you cannot mourn. And without mourning, you can never let go of the pain.

[during the memorial service for Ivanova's father]

When I was thirteen, I developed a passion for Kasharev, one of the radical neocommunist authors.

RKRabbi Koslov

Oy! Your father felt that Kasharev would be personally responsible for the destruction of Russian culture!

Exactly! But he was invited to a reading by Kasharev, and I begged him to take me. Of course, he had no intention of going, but I whined and pouted as only a thirteen-year-old can, and eventually, he was forced to surrender. So, after the reading there was a question and answer session, and for days I had been formulating the perfect question with which to impress my idol. So the time comes, and I stand up, I'm trembling, and I ask my question.

RKRabbi Koslov

And?

He promptly said that it was the most foolish thing that he had ever heard, and that he had no intention of bandying words with a bourgeois little twit who was barely out of diapers. [Laughs] I was crushed. But then Papa stood up. And he said that his daughter was neither bourgeois, nor a little twit, and had been out of diapers for many, many years, while Kasharev's writings had yet to rise above the contents of those garments!

RKRabbi Koslov

That sounds exactly like Andrei!

He then added that were he not a man of peace, he would have horsewhipped Kasharev through the streets of St. Petersburg, as his own father should have done many years ago!

RKRabbi Koslov

Bravo, bravo!

Well, of course I was mortified. But then Papa took my hand and he turned, and as we walked out, he said to me: "It was a good question, dushenka."
