A man recalls some of the people who were in his community when he was a boy. His Hebrew teacher is a woman with tightly pulled-back black hair and lipstick with three colors. She tells him that God is everywhere. However, when he thinks about someone who really was everywhere, he thinks about a man in the pinstripe suit whom he first ran into in a grocery store. He was pushing a shopping cart through the aisles and almost crashed into the man, who speaks softly with a German accent. He then leaves the grocery store and meets his father in the car. His father tells him that he knows the man in the pinstripe suit. When the boy and his father go to Shabbat services, he sees the man in the pinstripe suit with everyone congregated around him for service. After the boy’s mother passes away, the man in the pinstriped suit calls him and meets him in person to deliver condolences. Over time, the boy learns that his father has a lot in common with the man in the pinstriped suit, such as their line of work in the schmatta business. He then sees the man in the pinstriped suit everywhere and wonders if there are multiples of them. The boy decides one day to expose the man in the pinstriped suit and asks him if he has an identical twin. He learns that the man once had a brother, though he was murdered. The boy feels a great shame wash over him for asking. He tells his father that he will start walking home from shul alone rather than take his father’s car, as driving violates the Shabbat’s rules. One night, after service, the boy finds the man in the pinstriped suit at his door. The man gives him his father’s car keys and apologizes. The boy knows that the father is already home, yet the car is nowhere nearby to be found.
