As for Jewish holidays I must say father wasn’t very religious, while mother was, because of her mother,and grandmother Mazalta. We didn’t keep Sabbath at our house, but at my father’s cousin Rezinka Handel Sabbath was observed. It was in Jovanova St. She was married to a very appealing man Julius Handel and it was a known fact that we were there every friday for dinner.
We often had would have pechugas and pachas, smoked goose meat. Aunt Rezinka made extraordinary cracklings that my father adored, made them of course of goose meat, not of pork. Their son Arthur Handel, who married the daughter of the famous rabbi of the Jewish Community of Belgrade Isaac Alkalaj, was there as well. We were at aunt Rezinka’s for Sabbath untilp to the year 1941.
Apart from that we celebrated two holidays, which was a very strict custom, Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah. Father would be fasteding, just like as well a smother, and I was also supposed to fast should have been fasting as well,but I would cheated sometimes, because I liked to eat. In the evenings there was a service at the temple, in Cara Urosa St. We used to go there.
