My mother’s sister Rachel, Sonia and Mikhlia and their families observed Jewish traditions and celebrated all Jewish holidays. My mother’s older sister Rachel was the most religious one of them. They always lit candles at Sabbath, fasted at Yom Kippur and had matzah at Pesach. I don’t know where they got it from. I don’t think they could follow the kashrut during the Soviet period – there were no kosher products at that time, but they didn’t mix meat and dairy products for sure.
