See MDV 623 and MDV 625) He continues to talk about celebration of holidays during his childhood, including specific food customs for each holiday. The conversation turns to his family and religious school education in Novi Velidnyky (Volednick) and Lyel’chytsy, Belarus. He was taken to school on a wagon and horse and sleigh during winter. He got married in 1930. The conversation turns to his childhood memories about everyday life in summer and winter. Feldman then talks about Jewish life today, before the team asks a number of dialectological questions from the AHEYM Yiddish questionnaire. Then the tape cuts to the next interview with Feldman conducted the following day inside Feldman's home. He talks about prewar religious life in Volednick and religious life today in Ovruch.

He then talks about his home village Yanova Rudnya with six houses, as well as more childhood memories; for instance about the water mill his father leased. After his father passed away in 1919, he worked in a shop and then moved to Ovruch in 1933. Feldman then sings a prayer song for holidays he remembers from synagogue visits before the war. There follows a discussion of religious services on the Sabbath. Feldman briefly shows the different prayer books he inherited from his father. Feldman then continues reciting several prayers. They then discuss Passover celebrations and Feldman sings a Passover song in Yiddish about a grandfather traveling to celebrate Passover in Yalta, and how one should not talk about what happened there in religious school.

The conversation moves to his family. When his brother returned from military service shortly before World War I in 1913, he received medals and crosses. His father threw the cross into the river and his brother went after it and continued to hold it very dear. Fearing another war, his brother immigrated to America. Feldman then shares more about his brother's life serving during World War I and as a veteran. As a veteran, he would send 38 Dollars to support his mother in Ukraine. They then discuss holiday celebrations, in particular Purim, when his family celebrated Purim in the closest neighboring village Skrebelychi, where they could gather a minyan. Feldman remembers the service there, before retelling parts of the story of Purim.

The conversation moves to prewar Hasidism and prewar holiday celebrations. His father was a hasid. Feldman then talks about his life and education before World War II. He worked for farmers in the nearby village Skrebelychi, and then during collectivization in a Jewish kolkhoz. After the dissolution of the kolkhoz and the closing down of Jewish shops, Feldman was sent to take classes in Korosten for six months in order to work for a cooperation. Feldman then worked in a storehouse office. The conversation turns to Feldman's memory of World War I and the Revolution. Feldman then talks about how his father was murdered in 1919, beaten to death by Polish peasants. After his father's death, Feldman moved to another village, Skrebelychi, where his grandfather lived. The conversation moves to life during World War II. Feldman was drafted in 1941. During the war, sixteen relatives of his were murdered. The tape concludes with an informal discussion about life today and a brief conversation about holiday celebration before the war.
