Excerpt from Jewish Holyday Stories, Modern Tales of the American Jewish Youth Judith Weil was only four years old, but on a certain Friday afternoon she felt that she was a very big girl, indeed. Her mother had always insisted that on Friday nights she should have her usual early supper and go to bed directly after the Kiddush services, which ush ered in the Sabbath, were over. But Judith's cousin Helen, who had come from college to spend her spring vacation with the family, had pleaded so hard in Judith's behalf that Mrs. Weil had smilingly promised to postpone the little girl's bedtime that evening until eight o'clock.
