They celebrated all Jewish holidays at home. They had, for instance, Pesach dishes, which were kept separately. Grandfather read the Haggadah on Pesach. I remember some holiday, I cannot say which one, when a small glass is poured and the door is opened; everybody waits for someone to walk in and drink. [Editor’s note: The interviewee is talking about Pesach, about the glass for Prophet Elijah]. All in all, Grandfather celebrated all religious holidays, as he was very religious. However, he did not teach us Hebrew and basics of Judaism, as it did not comply with the time and official ideology [3].
