Младенцу после обряда обрезания дано имя Мошек.
58. It took place in the town of Szczekociny on May 9/21, 1875. Mendel Alterwein, 42 years old, a baker who lives in the village of Shekotsina, and in the presence of Abram Birmgolz, 64 years old, and Ioska Leib Lechner, 62 years old, both schoolteachers, presented us with a male infant who was born in the village on May 1/13, 1875, at 2 a.m., to his legal wife, Sora, née Feigenblat, 42 years old. After the circumcision ceremony, the baby was given the name Moshe.
P.S.
БАКАЛЯР - Bakalyar:
Bakaleya, bakalei, pl. no, fem., collect. (from Arabic. bakkal - a spice merchant). An appetizer and dessert food item. Dried fruits, sugar, tea, and other bakaleya were sold here.
