Please provide the definition of that as well. * Yumulkah (skull cap; it may be Tubiteyka in Russian); * Ashkenazi (the group of Jews who emanate from Europe; compare Sephardi); * Bar mitzvah (ceremony for a boy at age 13 when he acquires religious obligations); * Moile (man who performs the ritual circumcision; this may be the Yiddish word and the Russian word may be Reznick or Reznik). 6.
