Summary

A short camera-video file (about two and a half minutes) from the Ribnitz session with Sigal, who the index says is the interviewee. It is a table scene, mostly in Russian: a host offers toasts and blessings to the visitors, with a few Yiddish good-wish phrases, and then drinks and a chicken sausage are offered. Someone says the filming can stop at the end. It is not an interview.

Stretches

00:00–00:53

At the table, a man in Russian says he is glad the guests have come. He blesses the visitors, their children and grandchildren, and wishes them long years, health and happiness for the work they do. The guests answer that they are glad to have come.

00:53–02:24

A few Yiddish wishes for long life and health are exchanged. In Russian, drinks are poured and toasts drunk to the guests' health. A chicken sausage and bread are offered, and a woman goes to bring something to drink. The last line says this part can already be filmed or cut off.
