Shabbat and the Jewish Holidays |
First, we were off from khayder. Second, we played pranks. Most women covered their heads with kerchiefs. We would search for girls and women who were not wearing head coverings and throw burrs at them. Once entangled in their hair, the burrs were very difficult to remove. There were plenty of burrs in the cemetery, which was covered with weeds, so we would collect the burrs and, as the girls approached the cemetery, we would accost them. In the afternoon, when the traffic subsided, we would play the rest of the day away. Mother did not make us fast. |
