“When I was a kid,” he said, “I used to stare up at the moon and think it a window.”
I turned to the man beside me, dressed in all white from kippah down, and asked:
“A window to where?”
He closed his eyes.
“A world just next door; a world of pure light all around, as far as the eye can see.”
“That’s all? Just light?” I asked.
“That’s All.” He said.
