A few weeks after meeting Zeke, I told a friend of mine that I could see myself spending my life with him.
But Zeke and I had given up so much to leave our ultra-Orthodox communities and become the individuals we were.
Zeke and I talked a lot about love, family, marriage, our future.
A few months before we went to Africa, Zeke and I got married in a religious ceremony in Brooklyn, New York.
More than once, Zeke, his brothers and their antagonists ended up rolling around on the pavement.
He had learned something of value, and from the lips of his enemies, Zeke and Lem.
But I believe that we made it warmer for Zeke and his gang than they did for us.
“I wish Zeke and Lem would be in the party,” said Tom, grinning.
“And after that we can thrash Zeke and Lem with a good heart,” suggested Tom.
Why, Zeke Bassett and the rest have been finding fault with her and calling her a backslider.
