  ... among the children. Several months later (some would wait a year or more) the child was put in Cheder in earnest. At the age of five (5) or thereabout the child would begin to learn Chumosh (Bible). The traditional starting was "Vayikro" (Leviticus). The child's beginning to learn Chumosh was an occasion for celebration. Candies and cookies were to be distributed among the classmates and on the Sabbath neighbors and family were invited to share in the celebration. The child sat in Cheder all day. Contrary to supposition, it was not too strenuous on the child. The studies weren't difficult and the time spent over the Sidur (prayer book—primers were not available in Baranow) was in short intervals. On the other hand the child was always in company of friends—children of his own age, and from ...

  ... upbringing, but she also finished seven grades of public school. At that particular time, it was out of the question for a religious Jewish girl to continue with her higher education. As a result, my mother became a sales girl until the time of her marriage. A small business was started in a wooden booth with the help of her father Reb. Berish Green-baum and her brother Leybush. There they sold can-dies, vegetables, fruits, and a few groceries. Early in the twentieth century a large fire broke out in Brzozow which destroyed many wooden houses and among them almost all of the wooden booths. Before long some of the Jews of Brzozow began to build one-story brick houses with space for stores. My mother moved into one of the stores in a new building which belonged to the prominent ...

  48 by the unpleasant groan of the back wheel which cannot turn having been chained to the cart as a kind of brake on the slope. It is dragged along on the solid road like some artificial leg, making a longdrawn, squeaking sound. Finally even these noises fade out, swallowed up by the "rendjines" fields. The emptied rink is silent. In the stores the women busy themselves with arranging the scattered goods while the men put on their overcoats, the "ibertziers", and go to the syna-gogue. Outside, near the entrance, they gather in groups, finding a moment for some pedestrian conversation before the gabbai’s three knocks on the " ...
