My brother Benio was born after my Father’s death and bore his nome. A kind person, she did not ask for anything for herself. She got up before daybreak and no one knew how many sick people she attended — making fires in houses, washing dishes, changing bed-ding, and preparing meals for the sick and the needy. When she came back home it was daylight. She chan-ged her clothing and in the meantime the domestic helper lit a fire in the stove and put on the "samovar". The aroma of fresh coffee spread through the whole house. Gradually a great many needy people gathered in my Grandmother’s house to receive some nourish-ment. Among them you could ...

  ... flour on it which would become dough in the process and turn into Hametz or the like. Soaked matza was called "gibroktes" and it was only made for children, and in special dishes at that. Oldsters, who had lost their teeth over the years eating matzes, struggled with the dry kind throughout the Holyday, refraining from soaking them. This was also the reason why ... his own system of pro-hibitions no less jealously guarded than the laws which were generally binding, it became common practice that during the Pesach no one would go to eat at friends’ houses, and dishes were not borrowed either from neighbours or relatives. This phenomenon was called in Yiddish: "Pesach mischt men sich nicht!" (You don’t get involved with each other during the Pesach). This segregation naturally contained ...

  ... sat in "Hametz" pants so, nolens volens, one sits on a crate, an overtured pail, or doesn’t sit at all, eating while standing around the bowl and bending over it so that the crumbs don’t fall all around. The street is lively with last-minute preparations for the Holyday. Jews from the adjacent villages all come to the shtetl for any busi-ness connected with the Passover — the sale of Ha-metz, dipping new dishes, the slaughter house, a question to the Rabbi on the Laws of the Pesach etc. Here is one of them passing in his cart through the market, whip in hand and evidently in good spirits.
