April 10, 1947—"Old Folks Celebrate Passover Seder in 'Home'" Southwestern Jewish Press, page 4: Places were laid for 54 guests at the first night Passover seder at the San Diego Hebrew Home for the Aged Friday night. Rabbi Bergman conducted the ritual with Joe Dembo and Sam Schissell assisting, and members of the home and their families participating. This is the third year that the old folk's Home has been in existence and the sederim have special significance to the residents of the Home, particularly when they are able to have their children and their families at their side.  Two hundred guests attended the seder at Temple Beth Israel. Rabbi Morton J. Cohn conducted the traditional service with the participation of Temple members, their guests and their children. Many of the young guests sat at the head table with Rabbi and Mrs. {Sally} Cohn and assisted with the reading. Frankee Dee Hutler, 4, found the "Aphekomin" (hidden matzo) for which she was awarded a silver dollar by Rabbi Cohn.  A number of servicemen were guests of the Sisterhood.  Many private sederum were conducted throughout the city. Mr. and Mrs. Al Neumann had twenty nine guests at their seder this year. The Neumanns have had a seder i their home every Passover since 1913, and each year they have had approximately thirty guests at their table. Most of the guests have been attending for many years. The George Neumanns every year since the first seder; the Harry Tenebaums since 1918; the Robert Gordons for the past eighteen years. This year was a particularly joyous occasion for the Neumanns as their son Sidney was able to join the family circle.  Mr. and Mrs. Louis Addleson also had twenty-nine at their family seder. Mr. and Mrs. George Shelley had nineteen members of the family with them. Seventeen guests attended the seder at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Fleischman and Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Abrahamson had the "holy number" thirteen at their table. Mr and Mrs. Irwin Fischer had fourteen at their home for first night seder. Most of those attending were friends who families are not in San Diego, and more this seder brought home to the guests the traditional observance that they had previously shared with their relatives.  Photographs were taken at the seder, which they will take home. AT the Fischer Seder were: Jacob Baranov, Mrs. Fischer's father; Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Beinner; Mr. and Mrs. Leon Gold, Mr and Mrs. Henry Goldy; Mr. and Mrs. Morris Kattleman, Saul Gold, Lou Margolis, Mr. and Mrs. Fischer and their son, Bruce.
