My parents were very religious people. My father prayed every day, putting on his Thales and tfillin. At Sabbath we had a minjan[2]- religious Jews came to pray in our house. Men were in a bigger room and women - in a smaller one. This pray house in our apartment lasted until the middle of 1930s until the authorities summoned my father to the NKVD (People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs) and forbade him to have religious people come to his house to pray.
