Remembered scenes from a Jewish childhood in nineteenth-century Jerusalem: a family’s arrival and welcome, the merriment of Purim, the careful baking of matzos for Passover, bonfires at Lag B’Omer, the Sabbath and the building of the succah. Trager writes warmly of the charity, piety and household customs of the community she grew up in.
