Father used to go to the prayer house, not to the synagogue. Mostly reformed Jews went to the synagogue on Tlomackie [Street] [9]. The prayer house was usually just a classroom, which was rented for holiday and Saturday prayers.
Before the beginning of the religious year, a shammash from the prayer house would come and collect money, donations for the upkeeping of the prayer house, about 20 zloty for the entire year [a teacher's monthly salary was 150 zloty].
