520			_a"In Those Days: The Story of an Old Man" by Judah Steinberg is a fictional narrative written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Samuel, an old man reflecting on his life and the emotional trials surrounding his son’s imminent conscription into military service. It captures the complexities of familial love, cultural identity, and the poignant fears tied to loss and separation as Samuel navigates the expectations of his time. The opening of the book introduces Samuel the Beadle, who is preparing for his son's military service with a mix of bravado and underlying sorrow. As he interacts with his wife, Rebekah, and the neighbors, a vivid picture of their family dynamics and the local customs surrounding military conscription unfolds. The narrative pivots to Samuel's own memories of childhood, particularly the fears and rumors surrounding the “Catcher” who embodies the threat of forced conscription that looms over the Jewish community. Samuel's recollections are interspersed with poignant reflections on mortality, community bonds, and the bittersweet nature of his son's departure, underscoring the emotional weight of the transition from boyhood to adulthood against the backdrop of societal pressures.
