If Anzu accepts the terms of this game, Lev/Lyubov seems to be enraged by the invitation. They look down at Efrain, then demonstratively turn their back to him, close their eyes, take a deep breath and, fighting the unease they feel at reciting such a thing in the presence of less than ten Jews of an age to accept the Yoke, with the vigor and force of one two metres tall with lungs to match, and with the despairing abandon of one who fears they shall remain as dry bones, and rise not when the Redeemer calls them by their name, begins:

Magnified and sanctified be the Holy Name ...

And in their heart of hearts, knowing it is no blasphemy to despair, and knowing that it is no blasphemy to grieve, they hold, if you are the dealer, I'm out of the game.
