My father didn't go to the synagogue, although it operated for some time. However, we celebrated Jewish holidays at home. We didn't follow all the rules on Sabbath, of course. My mother made food for two days on Friday. She baked challah, made gefilte fish and boiled a chicken. My older brother, and later I, brought a chicken to the shochet. When my father came home from work in the evening we celebrated Sabbath. My grandmother and Yankel joined us for the celebration. My mother said a prayer over the candles and lit them. Then the family sat down for dinner. My father blessed the food.
