Leave Of Absence

Cream of the crop

Back in South Africa, Mark Eilim, 38, cleaned carpets and rented out cars. The car rental business frequently took him to repair shops and garages in the dingier sections of Johannesburg where others feared to enter. And so, when a Jewish food service sought a driver to deliver meals to the needy in those neighborhoods, he volunteered.

One of his regular recipients was a woman who suffered from Asperger syndrome, a form of autism in which social interaction is difficult. She insisted he write down a phone number of a young woman she’d memorized after meeting her at a Pessah Seder eight months earlier.
