The Vigil

Yakov Ronen: So, Shulem, who is the deceased?

Reb Shulem: He's Rubin Litvak, did you know him?

Yakov Ronen: No.

Reb Shulem: He was a good man, a little weird. He was a Holocaust survivor who made it through the war, but lost his entire family there. After the war, he started a family here, but then he became a recluse, estranged from his kids and grandchildren. He hadn't left his home in years, it's a really sad story.

Yakov Ronen: I never saw him out.

Reb Shulem: He used to say that whenever he stepped out of his house it was like he was in absolute agony.

Yakov Ronen: And the other Shomer, why was he leaving?

Reb Shulem: The other Shomer just ran out, I trusted him, he's family, but he left the job because he was afraid.

Yakov Ronen: Afraid?

Reb Shulem: That's what he said.

Yakov Ronen: What was he afraid of?
