In de Amsterdamsche Jodenbuurt | Page 9

de slotwoorden der uit te spreken lofzegging, waarin
God wordt geprezen, die den Sabbath boven de werkdagen heeft
onderscheiden.
De plechtigheid geschiedt weer binnenskamers. Welk een contrast
echter biedt dit huisvertrek met dat, waarin de Vrijdagavond gevierd
werd! alles is nu in half-duister gehuld; slechts twee lichtjes, aan de
Sabbathlamp ontstoken, verspreiden een spaarzaam licht; het tafellaken
is reeds grootendeels weggeschoven, nog een klein deel van de tafel is
gedekt--beeld van den Sabbath, die zoo aanstonds verdwenen zal zijn.
De huisvader vult den beker tot over den rand met wijn--symbool van
overvloed en zegen; dit is de dronk ten afscheid. En daarbij neuriet hij
in het oud naïef Joodsch-Duitsch het Habdala-lied:
"God van Abraham, Izak en Jacob! behoedt Uw volk Israël in Uwe
almacht; deze week moge komen tot geluk, tot zegen en alle heil; de
lieve heilige Sabbath gaat daarheen, de week moge komen tot geluk, tot
zegen en goed gewin, Amen, Sela!"
En met de nieuw-aangebroken week eindigt hun Sabbath-bekoring,
begint weer in de Jodenbuurt de werkelijkheid....

AANTEEKENINGEN
[1] Deze photografleën werden bij het ten vorige jaren gehouden
photografisch concours van De Aarde en haar Volken met den derden
prijs bekroond.
[2] Het volgend fragment werd onder den naam "Sabbath-zang" in het
"Alg. Handelsblad" opgenomen.--J. F.
[3] Het "dubbel brood" is de herinnering aan de dubbele spijs, die Israël
in de woestijn op den zesden dag ontving, omdat op den zevenden dag
geen manna neerdaalde; het is dus het symbool van den goddelijken
zegen, die in dubbele mate rust op het werk van hem, die den arbeid

staakt, om zich geheel aan God te wijden.
