an ordiaary rabbi.
Motke�or, as he was always called, Motke Ganef�was a janitor in the ugly brick house on Suffolk Street, corner Broome. He was always cleaning. It seemed to be a mania with him. When he finished washing the stones of the stoop with his dirty water, he would polish the rails and then sweep the sidewalk, and then clean the windows. Always washing and cleaning something. Suffolk Street remarked that he was so eager to keep everything clean because his soul was so dirty�and he could never clean that.
Little was known of Motke Ganefs early Life. They said his father had been a thief and his mother a dancer on some stage. They weaved fantastic weba about Motke's youth, accusing him of every Ifciown vice and immorality, They were certain that he had at one time been a thief. And they suspected that he was a murderer, a debauchee, a drunkard�everything. And one wondered bow that smalt, thin janitor�with his little yellow beard curvine around his anemk face�could have oone any-

But if Suffolk Street knew little about Motke's youth, they knew less about his ten years aa janitor of the brick house near Broome Street. People had moved in and out of the street during those ten years, but they knew very little about Motke. They knew that after he had been on Suffolk Street for two years, he married a stout, busy woman�but how they met each other none could tell. Their domestic life was tranquil. Motke Ganef dominated her so completely that in eight years si>e ira� his duplicate;
repeating his ideas, imitating his actions, living his life.
One other thing all Suffolk Street knew about Motke Ganef. He was a total "goy" and a "goy" such as no Jew had ever been. On Saturdays, holidays, even on the sacrosanct Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, he washed and cleaned his ugly house, and with a diffidence and equanimity that over whelmed and astounded the people as they hurried off to synagogue. Motke seemed to live in a world of his own. He did not seem to notice that people were discussing and cursing him as he worked there on holy-days. He did not �eem to know that to
