Forest

Manoeuvring

at speed,

through

a forest of

at times

sweaty

or

overwhelmingly pungent

people.

 

It is the Kiddush.

 

The serving of ceremonial wine,

diluted orange

and

kichels

after

The Saturday service,

before

heading home,

Up Church Road,

for lunch,

which is invariably

chicken soup

and roast chicken

and

oftentimes

Lokshen Kugel –

the sweet, cinnamony kind.
