Camera file from a long 2013 session in Baia Mare / Siget (index gives no name), 10:40 minutes. An elderly woman answers Kerler's questions about Christians who spoke Yiddish, cheder and schooling, Hasidic and non-Hasidic families, visits to rebbes (also by Christians), a tale about seven good years, and Yiddish theatre in her youth. The file begins and ends mid-conversation.
Kerler and the woman discuss religious and non-religious Jews, and Russian Jews. She says there were Christians who spoke Yiddish so well they could not be told from Jews, who knew prayers and blessings, and learned from Jewish nursemaids. Some Christian men also knew Yiddish from playing with Jewish children. A Hungarian passage explains that they learned from other children and explains what a cheder was.
Talk about whether someone can translate into Hungarian, then about learning to read Yiddish. Girls had a special tutor, boys went to cheder from age four or five, then to state school (Romanian or Hungarian). Non-observant Jews had separate schools. Her father examined the boys on the Sabbath, and she says her family was Hasidic but not fanatical.
She describes going to a rebbe when a child was seriously ill. Christians also went to rebbes. Rebbes she names include the Sapinker (?) and the Kretshnever (?). Kerler mentions the Keller Meir rebbe, and she says rabbis also came from Czechoslovakia. She describes a rebbe laying his hand on a sick child's head.
At Kerler's request she tells a story or legend, about a person asking where her seven good years are, repeated twice. Kerler calls it a legend and a theatre song.
She recalls theatre in town. There was a large theatre, Polish singers performing in Yiddish at the cinema, and later a travelling Yiddish theatre from elsewhere, possibly Bucharest. Tickets were required. She tells how she, aged about ten or eleven, ran after her sister and her sister's husband's first wife on their way to the theatre.
