Document Summary
Deborah was for it, but mendel against, because the doctor would have to take him to the hospital and mendel didn"t want menuchim to grow in a non-jewish area. He instead said he would pray to god to help menuchim. He started fasting and deborah prayed and visited the graves of ancestors to intermediate with god to help the baby: deborah goes to a rabbi"s house and he tells her this: menuchim, mendel"s son, will grow healthy. There will not be many of his like in israel. Pain will make him wise, ugliness kind, bitterness gentle, and illness strong. His eyes will be far and deep, his ears clear and full of echoes. His mouth will be silent, but when he will open his lips, they will herald good things. Have no fear and go home! : his siblings really hated him.
