  ... erwähnt, bin ich als erster Zögling im Jahre 1912 zum Herrenturnen zugelassen worden, nachdem man meine turntechnischen Qualitäten wie auch Sporttalent erkannt hatte. Dies geschah jedoch ganz inoffiziell, denn laut den bestehenden Schulvorschriften war es strengstens verboten, dass Schüler Mit-glied eines Vereines sein durften. Die Professoren der Mittel-schule, Werner und Fink, die selbst aktive Turner waren, mus-sten daher beide Augen zudrücken (und sie taten es gerne), da-mit ich ungehindert am Turnen teilnehmen konnte. - Der Turnbet-rieb wickelte sich damals in zwei Herrenriegen und einer Damenriege ab. Der Höhepunkt der Turnsaison war das Chanukka-Fest, wo gewöhnlich als Makkabäer-Feier ein Schauturnen im Saale sowohl von der Herrenriege als auch von der Damenriege Veranstaltet wurde ...

  ... by their master. They eggs — no larger than pigeons eggs; the hen is tubercular and its days are numbered — it has never seen a grain of corn... When the owner remains ada-mant they turn to leave with a show of exaggerated indifference : who could even be interested in pur-chasing such miserable goods ? At the same time another prospective buyer is given a wink of warning — not to dare tresspass on her transaction ! The farmer’s wife, who has, in the meantime, lost contact with her husband, is beginning to lose her patience. He has gone ahead of her in the cart loaded with heavy produce and she has no idea whether he has sold it or not. Nor does she trust him with the money in his possession. She therefore gives in and quickly gets rid of the goods. In the afternoon, after the fair ...

  ... the rest was put away for the Memorial (Yizkor) book which we intend to publish as soon we gather all material. Since it appeared that it would take a long time before we can actually publish the book, I told the committee that I feared that the Israeli pound would be devaluated by then and therefore, it would be advisable to invest the money, which was on deposit in the bank in Tel Aviv for something that was fixed to the dollar. However, we needed more money to accomplish this, so I advanced to the committee in Israel 450 American dollars which I had with me. Upon my return, we had a meeting of our inner committee. After I rendered my report I told Abe Fischer who together with his brother Moishc, had bought 350 copies of my book. "The Odyssey of an American Zionist," in the Hebrew ...
