The Day the Rabbi Resigned
“That evening, however, Ben Clayman called at the rabbi’s house with news of him.
“I was over to see Fisher—”
“He’s no longer in the hospital.”
“Yeah, I know. I went to see him at his house on the Point.”
“Oh, you’re a friend of his?”
“Well … Look, the guy is more than twice as old as I am, but my father knew his wife, worked with her. You might say he’s like a friend of the family. That’s how I got his business.”
“You sell him stock?”
“Buy and sell. Yeah, he was one of my first customers when I... first went to work for the Klan.”
“The Klan?”
“That’s what they call the company on the street. Kravitz, Kaplan, and Kohn—KKK, get it? He used to do quite a bit of trading with us. Not so much lately, but I make a point of keeping in touch. It’s more like a hobby with him; gives him something to do. When he was better—you know, healthier—he used to come to our offices in Lynn and sit for hours watching the ticker tape. That was after he retired, of course.”MoreLess
