Ficu Pietraru and Avram Ciubotaru in the Synagogue

Ficu Pietraru and Avram Ciubotaru in the Synagogue

This photo was taken on July 7th, 1973 in the synagogue in Suceava, when my nephew, Ficu Pietraru, got married, before the religious wedding.

As a Jewish, the groom goes to the Synagogue one or two weeks before the traditional religious wedding to give special quotes to those who marry.

Ficu is standing in the middle.

Avram Ciubotaru my father in law is the second from the left with the hat. And the one to the right is the bridegrooms father, Saul Pietraru.
