This assistant acts as the redgemer, and he na;nesi a certain amount (according to the wealth of the family) that must be paid by the parents before the child becomes their own. In most cases, the redeemer returns the money to the family, in the form of a gift to the child. The parents and their friends usually celebrate the "redemption" and on Wednesday evening, Mr. and Mrs. Sole received their friends at a reception in the hall of the Hebrew Synagogue. Myrs.

If the women pass the test, they will receive a distinctive pin which shows that they are really qualified drivers."
