“I’m Eighty-Five Years Old, Bubba’leh”

By: Ariel Horowitz, Yardenne Greenspan

"Feel free to also call me ‘Rabbi’ or ‘Professor.’ Neither offends me. No, not ‘Motti.’ Never ‘Motti.’ If you want to call someone Motti, why don’t you go downstairs and talk to the guy at the corner store?" An excerpt from The Ghost Editor.
