What talent? Anyway, thanks for the compliment. I'd love to share more about my life with you, like where I went to yeshiva, etc., but for someone who identifies him/herself as anonymous, I'm somehow not motivated enough. Feel my problem? :) Talent? What talent?

What do you read, where did you go to school? In other words, no stereotyping, but in other words, as a Yeshiva Guy, how do you do it? I really enjoy your writing – where do you get our talent from?

The postscript to the story, (which I didn't feel actually belonged there, it being obvious/somehow not relevant), is that the old candy man died.

I actually had a personal connection with him that I didn't know of until after he was niftar- he was a special Jew.

As for Isaac's- I used to go there sometimes on Thursday's/Friday's with a friend who knew the guy. Free cookies!

Thanks for the link, and even more for the compliment- high praise indeed, considering the author!

It resonates; it's the same reason that I particularly love Isaac's Bake Shop in Brooklyn- for the little old man who is always learning there, his sefer out, and then helps me. <br /><br />But your description, especially the darkness and the slow nature of his movement, makes him seem totally fascinating. I wonder who and what this candyman was and what he had seen. This post and the tribute to that candy man really touched me.
