The festival of New Year. New Year—one day before New Year, most families slaughtered a sheep as a sacrifice. They would distribute it to the poor and needy. That is that. After that, on the night of New Year everybody went to the synagogue. They would come home and make a blessing. What was the blessing like? First, the blessing of vine. Then, they put honey on an apple. They put an apple in honey, as they do here. The one making the blessing would give honey and apple to everybody. (He would say to) those who were sitting there ‘You say a blessing, (you) say a blessing, (you) say a blessing.’ Each in their turn would eat it and he would ‘May your year be blessed, God willing, this year’, he said this to everybody. Then they brought forward the lungs (of the sheep). Then they brought forward the meat of the head (of the animal), the meat of (the _kalla_ means) of the head of an ox or sheep. After that, the meat of the sheep, they brought forward a pomegranate. After that they brought forward fish. After everything came something that is a vegetable, which is called _šaplulta_. They brought that vegetable and ate it. They said a blessing. That was (ceremony of) the blessing. When this had finished, then they ate the food and went to get on with their work. In the morning they went to the synagogue. They were in the synagogue until half-past-ten or eleven. In Kurdistan (they stayed) until eleven, it did not last any longer. There, the Torah scroll was raised up and they said a blessing. They read _šaḥarit_ and _musaf_ in the synagogue. I tell you, they read the _šaʿare raṣon_ prayer. All the children read it and more. They read it and went home. In the evening they went (to perform the ceremony of) ‘the atonement of sins’, if it was not Sabbath. They went (to perform the ceremony of) ‘the atonement of sins’. What is ‘the atonement of sins’? It (is performed) here also, _tašlix_. They went up to water, a river, a stream that was running water. They went there. They read (the prayer of) _tašlix_. They finished it in an hour and went back home. They went back home and also the next day the same, the second day—it was two days. That night in the same way they recited a blessing.
