Paula Honigman, 85 years old, walked into Cafe Noach this morning, sat down at one of the tables and looked around her with an expression of barely-controlled excitement. Suddenly she stood up, walked over to the wall and pointed at a black-and-white photograph. “I know those people!” she said. “I used to work here, when it was a pharmacy.”
Sarit, one of the cafe owners, took the photo off the wall so that Paula could take a closer look. She identified each of the people in the photo and told me, “This neighbourhood was where all the important people lived. I used to make deliveries to them, so I knew them all. Do you know how I felt when I came in here and sat down, after all these years? My heart was going like this! Poom, poom, poom.”
This is Cafe Noach today, as captured by the fabulous Idan Gazit.
