The Little People
In Neve Tzedek people live on the windows. These are the little
people; the menshalach in Yiddish. What do the little people do?
When (people) open the windows in the house, the little man near the
window holds the shutter and then he looks like a man. If they close
the shutter the little man falls and then he looks like a woman. Every
morning, after the husband went to work, the woman closed the
shutter and then the little man in the window fell, and they saw a
woman. That told her lover that it is possible to come in. If the
husband returned early from work, she immediately opened the
shutter in his honor, and then the lover saw that the husband was
home. Maybe it’s just a story and there weren’t really many lovers,
and maybe the men didn’t really go to work…
