In the winter of 1984/1985 you wrote an essay which you broadcast on NPR about the synagogue you attended. You described the men as finishing as quickly as possible and slamming the siddur shut and looking around as if they had just won a speed contest.

I was shure that you had attended the same synagogue as me, but when you identified the Rabbi as Rabbi Mishkan, I thought there must be another synagogue with the same guys in it.

Anyway, would it be possible to get a copy of that essay? Thanks.

I'm fairly sure it is in Hoboken Fish and Chicago Whistle from Xlibris. Along with it you will get too many other essays.
