Camera file from the 2013 Baia Mare / Siget session, with an elderly woman informant (not named in the index) talking with Kerler. She recalls her grandmother dancing with the grandchildren at weddings and at Purim, anticipation of Passover and new clothes, salting meat to make it kosher, and the preparation of Sabbath challah, including the taking of challah. At the end she asks Kerler about his own family background.
Opening Purim greeting. Kerler asks for the song her grandmother used to sing with the grandchildren at weddings, with the bride and groom, but she no longer remembers it well. She describes how the grandmother danced with all her grandchildren at weddings. She tells how her mother's mother, bedridden for six years, asked for a new dress and shoes for Purim, rose, and danced with the grandchildren.
She speaks about her mother's many siblings and the many grandchildren in each family. Children waited for Passover like the Messiah, since they got new shoes and clothes. She describes the kitchen being scoured and cleared before the holiday, with straw laid on the floor and covered, where the children could play.
Kerler asks whether she remembers how her mother salted meat. She describes soaking the meat for half an hour, salting both sides on a salting board (?), and rinsing it several times. She says nothing was recited, she learned the practice from her parents, and every Jewish home had such a board.
She describes preparing Sabbath challah: kneading, a Thursday-night eruv (?) of warm water, the taking of challah and throwing a piece of dough into the oven. Kerler asks what was said when taking challah; she doesn't remember. She tells of a shochet's wife whose maid took challah without knowing the blessing, so a rabbi was asked whether the challah could be eaten. She adds that even poor families baked two challahs for Friday night, and that each person got a piece dipped in salt.
She asks Kerler whether he remembers these things and whether his family was Hasidic. He says he grew up with them.
