There she befriends a fellow student, Avigdor, and meets his fiancée, Hadass Vishkower.

Upon discovering that Avigdor lied about his brother's death (a suicide, not pneumonia or flu as Avigdor claimed), Hadass' family cancels the wedding over fears that Avigdor's family is tainted with insanity.

Hadass' parents decide that she should marry "Anshel" instead, and Avigdor encourages "Anshel" to go ahead with the marriage, so Hadass can marry someone she knows rather than have a stranger for a husband.
