urday morning I used to go to the
synagogue. When I came home there
was always a good Sabbath dinner
like your ma could make. After din-

of the relatives or the Landsleute, or
they would come to visit us. We
would drink some of the wine left
over from Passover and eat kichlech

to eat now, when eggs cost eighty
cents a dozen. If there was any cele-

came and spent a whole day, eating
and drinking and talking and joking
and singing. It wasn't like the re-

come for ten minutes, shake hands

on a rainy night like this?" he con-
tinued. "All the neighbors would
come together in somebody's kitchen
and we would sit around the stove,
drink tea with jelly, and tell stories
about the old country. Sometimes
we would sing all the snogs we knew,
Hebrew and Yiddish and Russian,
and we would feel like a great big
family. If you wanted to visit some-
body, you didn't look on the clock or
stop to think if they owe you a visit.
Yuu combed you hair and washed
the faces of the children and you
went. And you didn't have to be
afraid that right away they would
