When the Elder Trisker arranged a match with the Husyatiner, all the children of Ruzhiner attended the wedding. The Trisker had a custom of blessing the bride and groom before the hupa (marriage ceremony) and desired to bless the Husyatiner. The Husyatiner requested that the Trisker ask his older brother, the Sadagorer. When the Trisker asked the Sadagorer, he responded, “Yes, but without using hands. When blessing with hands, one is required to bow, and my father did not bow to anyone—neither do we nor do our children.”
