My mother and father went to the synagogue regularly. Its windows were blue, red, and yellow, and when the sun was shining; it was splendid. It had an extraordinary organ that was often played by my father and a singer, Mrs. Sidon. She was not a professional singer, but she had a beautiful voice. They sang together on holidays.
