The whole family on my father's side was religious. On Friday they attended synagogue, and observed all holidays. They'd take poultry to be slaughtered to the shachter [shachter: ritual butcher – Editor's note]. Bread we'd take to the Jewish baker. The bakery was by the old, Orthodox synagogue. There they also baked matzot for Passover [Passover: commemorates the departure of the Israelites from Egyptian captivity and is characterized by many regulations and customs. The foremost is the prohibition of consuming anything containing yeast – Editor’s note]. As I child, I used to take bread there every week. I had a little wagon, and in it would be two or three loaves of bread in a basket. I'd take them to the baker in the morning, before school, and on the way back from school I'd pick them up.
