The recording took place at the Babylonian Jewry Heritage Center in Or Yehuda
I will tell you another funny story. The main thing is…after two, three hours ago I was able to arrive…to that…the person who had a phone. I said to him, “how are you?”. He said to me “take a taxi”. I wasn’t used to that. In Baghdad, if someone came from overseas, (would anyone say to them) “take a taxi”? And everything you will find…and I have about two hundred dinars. For a cucumber of this (small) length was (cost) ten pence. We (could) buy fifteen kilos of that in Baghdad! The main thing is, I got to his place. I got to his place…a little after 1967, in the 1970s. As soon as he opened (the door), (he had) a Star of David (necklace) like this (on his chest). Okay? I stared and stopped. He said to me, “I was, you know, in Manchester. This is my girlfriend.” Girlfriend? How (what do you mean) girlfriend? My girlfriend? (Seemingly addressing someone in the room) Just a minute. I said to him - he said to me, “what do you want…what do you want to drink?”. I said to him, “tea”. Okay? I said to him “tea”. This person brought a glass of water and dangled some type of thing and put it…in the glass. I said to him, “what is this?”. He said to me, “this is called a ‘teabag’”.
