- Esther -m. [??] Camhi
- Boulissa -m. Ben-Sion Camhi (known as Izhak in the US).
This couple was married in Monastir, and emigrated with their whole family, except for Esther, who stayed behind, and was apparently a victim of the destroyers in the Holocaust.
My grandmother lived at 66 Rivington St, 2 in from the corner of Rivington and Allen. There was a candy/drug store across the street there and my dad used to buy cigars there, and they had a bunsen-type burner always lit to help the customers light their cigars. Next door a few down was a sephardic grocery store where they had barrels of of olives, queso blanco, lacerda, and prepared borecas for sale, plus other goodies. On the same side of the street of my grandmother's house was a pool hall. As a kid I used to sneak in and mingle with the older guys. Also on that side of the street a few doors down, if my memory serves me well, was a Streit's matzo factory.
Down a few blocks on Allen in the direction of the bridge there was also a club for men. And my mother would ask me to go there and tell my father when it was time to leave for Brooklyn, and I used to walk up the stairs, room filled with cigar smoke, and the men played pinochle there also, my dad would order me a yogurt (yogut) before I left there. That was a vivid memory.
