My grandmother Janka kept a kosher home. My grandparents were not
Orthodox but they celebrated all the holidays. My father, Matija Bruck,
read the Hagaddah at every Seder. Our Hagaddah was in Hebrew and Hungarian.
We lit candles on Shabbat, made challah and prepared a festive meal. My
father, grandmother and mother each had their own seat in the Neolog
synagogue. We fasted on Yom Kippur, and I remember that our cantor sang so
well that there was not enough room in the synagogue when he sang Kol
Nidre. Rabbi Gersan led the service. We lit Hanukkah candles.
