On the eve of Hoshana Rabba, every family—may it be far from the face of those present—their death, if somebody had died, people would go there, (they would go) there for the day and sit there. They would read Torah. They would read the Prophets and Writings. I say to you, they would read the Mishnayot and they would read the Zohar, until near dawn. Near dawn, then—we called it penitential prayers. We had penitential prayers. They had seven penitential prayers. They read seven penitential prayers. They said blessings and blew the shofar until dawn. Close to when dawn broke, they brought fruit. They said a blessing there and got up from there and went to the synagogue. Hoshana Rabba was in the synagogue. Hoshana Rabba took place there. At that time it was not like here, whereby everybody buys an etrog and palm frond, since there were none (of these) in Kurdistan. They sent etrogs and palm fronds to us from Tehran. There every synagogue had one. They would say a blessing there in the synagogue. That night on Hoshana Rabba they would carry it (the etrog) round over the head of all the people. They call it blessing of the etrog. That is that. If I have not said something, you must forgive me.
