My maternal grandfather - Yakov Levin

Report an issue

As my grandfather (1870s-1942) was Levite, he prayed during every Jewish holiday, he put on his special clothes (something white) and a kippah and prayed. Old people came to his place; I remember it and I saw it. They came to him, because all holidays were celebrated at my grandfather's - he was Levite; he belonged to Levites in some degree. I remember my grandfather specially dressed, praying, and everybody repeating after him.
