Father’s home

Father’s home

The parents’ home. Figuratively: the childhood home in which a person grew up, together with its particular traditions and customs.

(“Rabbi Eliezer ben Daglai said: There were goats in my father’s home on Mount Makhver, and they would sneeze from the scent of the compounded incense” – Tamid 3:8; and likewise: “Rabban Gamliel said: In the days of my father’s home they would not bake coarse loaves but only thin cakes. They said to him: What can we do about your father’s home, for they were stringent upon themselves and lenient toward Israel” – Eduyot 3:10; and likewise: “From those rolled cakes of dough and cinnamon… for we have already forgotten the taste of the cakes we ate in my father’s home” – Agnon, Temol Shilshom, p. 300.)
