Minyan Diaries .. . Episode 7

Cut to:

     Int. Morning Minyan - Rav davening Vasikan, 7AM - Room Empty.

Slowly a crowd begins to form - very slowly.  Nudge arrives at 7:06 - Ash, Auerbach, Cohen and Futersack in various stage of P'seukah d'eimrah - or praying that Bennett arrives soon and takes over for the Rav - Hopefully they're having better luck with Ashrei.  Nudge realizes Omelet loving Cohain is nowhere to be found. Looks at clock - 7:08  In walks Dr. Reiss's smiling son in law, what a family!  Takes care of the minyan even when the Good Doctor can't be there. 7:09 in walks Bennett, too late to take over for the Rav - now we're forced to daven with Kavana - Bennett tells Nudge his luck's run out, doesn't look good for having a minyan.  7:09 and 20 seconds  Golembeck arrives shocks everyone, he's been here twice this week, trend? Now we have a minyan. Nudge smiles at Bennett. 7:10 Hershal and Kopolowitz stroll in - a little early for Mincha - Minyan is rocking.  The only Cohain is Cohen and he doesn't like eggs.

Is the nudge off the hook on the omelet hedge?

Close up - Rav's atomic clock - "7:12" Vasikan Barichu moments away - There's no looking back the Rav doesn't mess with Vasikan. "Yisgadal... "
Noise by the front door - nudge turns to look, there's no one there... "Amen"... Door opens and in walks Sunny Side Up Cohain on cue... Ash looks at Nudge - mouths the words "With Cheese??"

It's margarine call time for the Nudge..

Yes Shmuli, On the Sixth Day there will be Eggs....
