Just Call Me Ezra
--said the big, burly, shirtless man with a tattoo.
The apartment next door had some major flood and I came home this evening to find said Ezra getting rid of the water and cleaning the stairs. I noticed that he was not our usual stair cleaner and wasn't sure why there would be a sub if it's not the normal stair cleaning day anyway. (They get cleaned on Thurs and it was Wed).
Anyway, in an effort to figure out who this guy is, I am the president of the condo association, after all, I introduced myself. That his name is Ezra brought a smile to my face. If he were Yossi or Guy, I wouldn't give it a second thought. But burly, shirtless and with tattoos, AND his name is Ezra... To me, Ezra is a religious name only, not a cultural, Hebrew one. But, this is a land where anything is possible, including large, blue-collar type men with religious first names.
