The community in Csepel was Orthodox, but wasn’t as religious as the one in Kiskoros. For instance, there wasn’t a cheder (Jewish religious primary school) in Csepel, and they didn’t have mid-week prayer either. My grandfather did the mid-week prayers alone at home. There wasn’t a mikva in Csepel either, so my grandfather went to Budapest on Fridays. That’s where he died too, of a heart attack, in 1942. My grandfather, as you can see in the pictures, had a beard and wore a beaver hat. My grandmother also had a shoitly (wig).
