My father Esaih Ogushevich was born in Saratov in 1904. After the revolution of 1917 he finished a Russian lower secondary school, Construction College and worked as a plumber. My father worked long hours. He took after grandfather Semyon: taciturn, strict and hardworking. He wore a tunic, but no hat. He only put on a kippah and tallit at the synagogue and tefillin on his hand and forehead when praying.  He went to the synagogue with his father and his brother Michael.  We lived in neighboring houses with them.  And at Friday and at Saturday evening we waited at the gate of our home when they returned from synagogue.
