Camera file from the 2013 expedition in Kloyzenburg (Cluj), 17 May 2013; the index gives no name. A man answers Kerler's questions about where people pray in town today and about the synagogues there, then about a family of brothers, the Pustoy family (?), who pray there. In the last part he speaks of his own cheder schooling near Bistritz, in Lekhnitz, and of Saxon (German) neighbours. The file begins and ends mid-conversation.
Kerler comes in and asks where people pray here today; the man says there are a few synagogues. They discuss where Kerler stayed the night before and the woman who keeps order in a house where a rabbi lived, who came for Shavuot. The talk then turns to how many synagogues still function.
The man describes the main synagogue on the main street near the station, a large building with four towers (?), where services were held on Shavuot. The second synagogue is named as David Frantsis (?) and is close by. It holds a Sabbath minyan and one for yahrzeits, but attendance is small.
He explains how he arranges a minyan for a yahrzeit by telling the synagogue head (?), Ranoy (?). Some of the men are students from outside the city. He names a man called Pustoy (?) from Israel, who has a fine voice and leads the prayers, and describes his brothers. One brother went to Israel for a year, married and stayed there, and founded a yeshiva. The family is from Arad (?), the father is of mixed background, and one brother stayed at the university in Kurosh (?).
Kerler asks who taught them to pray; the man says they learned at home. Asked about himself, he says he learned to pray in cheder near Bistritz, Likintsa (?) and Lekhnitz. Kerler asks for the Yiddish and German names of Lekhnitz.
The man says many Germans lived in Lekhnitz, called Saxons, with big gates and large gardens. They would not let strangers in, offering a glass of water but not money. He calls them hard people who stayed German whether born in Germany or elsewhere. Kerler asks what the Jews called them.
He says he had a sister in Lekhnitz who was a seamstress, and that his parents lived near Bistritz and were not rich. As a cheder boy he ate days at different families' homes, a different household each day. He compares meals at rich and poor homes.
