It was our Sabbath, and it started on Fridays — to be exact, about six o’clock every Friday morning. I would hear my mother get out of bed and prepare herself for the big event of baking the bread that was to last all week. One day, as a young child, I too got up, announcing to my mother that I would go with her. She didn’t resist very much. She pulled down my nightshirt, took my hand, and led me in my bare feet across the few yards to my grandfather’s house. Grandma was already awake and moving about.

The kitchen was adjacent to my grandparents’ bedroom, and the door was seldom closed. Zaida saw me coming in, smiled, and beckoned me to come join him in his bed. He put me on his chest. I buried my face in his beard. It smelled of spices. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the warmth. We watched the two women prepare the baking — sifting and kneading. First, the white flour for the twisted Shabbos challah and other white-dough baked goods; later, the dark rye OUR SHABBOS IN SHEBRESHIN 127 to bake in round loaves, sprinkled on top with caraway seeds.
