Levi-Itshak and Perl Derbaremdiker

Levi-Itshak and Perl Derbaremdiker
These are my parents, Perl and Levi-Itshak Derbaremdiker and Perl Derbaremdiker, nee Kventsel. The photo was taken in Berdichev in 1912. My father and mother were introduced to one another in 1911. On some Jewish holiday their mothers met in the synagogue, discussed the issue with other relatives and arranged that they should meet each other. The young people liked each other and got married in 1912. They had a Jewish wedding with a chuppah, a bunch of relatives as guests, and there were merry songs and dances, freilakh.
