when we reached the synagogue , a big building of three stories , the lodgings were full as everyone expected , but as we were turning away to look for the synagogue of the alexandrians , my mother cried out to her cousins , zebedee and his wife , and their children who were just coming in , and they all flocked to her with much embracing and kissing , and they wanted us very much to come up with them and share the space already made for them on the roof .
