A CONTRACT WITH GOD

AN OTHER TENEMENT STORIES

By Will Eisner

A CONTRACT WITH GOD – All Day the rain poured down on the Bronx without mercy. The sewers overflowed and the waters rose over the curbs of the street. The tenement at no. 55 Dropsy Avenue seemed ready to rise and float away on the swirling tide! Like the Arc of Noah…it seemed to Frimme Hersch as he sloshed homeward.

Only the ten thousand Weeping Angels could cause such a deluge! And come to think of it, maybe that was exactly what it was…after all this was the day Frimme Hersch buried Rachel his daughter.

Not so unusual a father brings up a child with care and love only to lose her…plucked as if it were from his arms by an unseen hand – the Hand of God. It happens to people every day…to others, maybe.

… but not to Frimme Hersch.

And why not to Frimme Hersch? That’s a fair question!

It should not have happed to Frimme Hersch i because Frimme Hersch Had A CONTRACT WITH GOD! And a CONTRACT IS A CONTRACT! It was after all, a solemn agreement of many years!

How Ling Was IT? In 1882 Tsar Allexander II of Russia was assassinated and a wave of terrible anti-sematic progroms swept the country! In that year also, Frimme Hersch was born in a little village near Tiflis, named Piske.

Somehow his family survived the massacre and Frimme, as he was loving called, grew up. By the time he was ten, it became clear that this boy was special. He was Brillant and seemed to acquire knowledge from the air. In a poor stetle like Piske, where survival was the main concern, how else?
