I commemorate every year my mother’s and father’s death, they are two weeks apart. Usually Mr. Pietraru, who used to be the chairman, performed, and in the second part he prayed for the dead. And then I bring to the synagogue a ‘lechec’ [lekakh] – a kind of cake made with nuts or with honey, a milk-loaf, and a small bottle of alcoholic drink and some soda or mineral water. And I give a donation. The money goes to the community, because these are the sources of income of the Community. We don’t really have sponsors, because we don’t have many businessmen, and the income comes from community members’ fees, and contribution fee is received when the matzah is brought for Pesah, and at the fall holidays other donation.
