  ... would repeat the process. On the average, around 70 such transient economic outcasts passed through Baranow weekly. A voluntary committee was organized to handle this phase of activity. A tax was levied on the Jewish community and each family was obligated to pay a certain amount of money and two meals weekly for this purpose. Thus the transient poor was taken care of in an organized fashion. He re-ceived a sum of money plus two meals and a nights lodging if he "stayed over." This averted the spectacle of the migrant poor parading from door to door. It saved him time and effort and he was able to move on and cover more "territory." Part of this levy was designed for the local poor. In addition the income from Moos Chitim and contributions from the "Kehilla" made the life of the local poor ...

  ... auszuhändigen. Die jüdischen Handwerker hatten mit diesen Genossenschaften nur ganz geringen Kontakt. Jüdische Handwerkslehrlinge gab es in den letzten Jahren fast nicht. PROF. DR. MICHAEL BERKOWICZ Prof. Dr. Michael Berkowicz ist in Boryslaw am 3. Februar 1865 geborn und hat dort eine fromme Erziehung genossen. Doch bald ging er nach Lemberg und oblag mit vielem Fleiss hebrä-ischen Studien. Schon damals interessierte er sich für hebrä-ische Grammatik und das trug ihm unter den Chassidim den Spott-namen eines "Baal Dickduck" ein. Es war eine Zeit, wo man sich selbst in der Jeschiwah schon heimlich oder offen mit allge-meiner Bildung befasste, und brennender Wissensdrang beseite auch unseren Studenten. Aber die Not - nennt man sie mit Recht die Mutter ...

  192 Moshe would bless the wine in a ringing voice, using a traditional melody full of the "Neshamah Jctherah." Later, in the manner of "govrin Yehuda’in’’ (Jewish gentlemen) he would break off pieces of the challa and hand them around. The *4zmirot’' (songs) ac-companying the meal evoked many memories and took me back tens of years, to the Friday night ceremony in my fathers house. When the spirit was upon him he would dredge up from his memory all kinds of melodies, whether from the Modzitz Has-sidim, mostly sad, or from the Bobov Hassidim, which for some reason always reminded me of marching songs. I remember that a melody sung once ...

  ... Even today friends of mine who lived near us, tell me how they used to stand in- the yard be-hind our windows, listening to the music. We all joined in the choir and my brothers were very good singers. As for the girls, though they were gene-rally not permitted to sing with the boys, Father, for all his devoutness, had nothing against it. It was a habit of Father’s to bless the boys on the eve of Yom Kippur by laying his hands on their heads. He would then turn to the girls and bless them as well.
