Selected text
There were no “donme”s [5] from Salonika among our friends and relatives, only an acquaintance where I worked was Karay [6], Levi. We worked together in Becker pharmacy. When Becker imported drugs, we needed a pharmacist to import the drugs, and that was Levi. I thought he was Spanish, but he was Karay. He spoke Spanish better than me. He later opened a pharmacy in Tophane. The Karays resemble our Sephardim, only they believe in the Torah, they do not believe in the additions of the rabbis. I learned Spanish from my wife and my friends.
