At the beginning of November, the breath of winter becomes more and more pronounced, and nature freezes in anticipation of the first steady frost. November 5 in the popular calendar begins Yom Yaakov, which our ancestors also called Yaakov Studini or Yaakov Guznik. The name "guzhnik" comes from an old peasant tradition: on this day, men were required to fix horse harnesses, tighten and check leather loops - traction, as well as felt boots and prepare carts for the winter season.
