    • ילד לא־כל־כך - Hanoch Bartov, in the Ben Yehuda project
      התיישבתי אצלו ואמרתי לו: ”אני לא זז עד שאני לא מקבל אח המכונית לפחות עם שני המנעולים מתוקנים”. ואיציק, בלי בושה, מנסה עלי סיפורים חדשים, מקווה לדחות אותי שוב ”עד אחרי שבת”. אבל הפעם אני לא מוותר. יושב ולא זז.
      I sat down with him and told him: “I’m not moving until I get the brother of the car at least with both locks fixed”. And Itzik, without shame, tries new stories about me, hoping to reject me again “until after Shabbat”. But this time I'm not giving up. Sitting and not moving.
