Hannah and Joseph Kader," San Diego Jewish Times, p
8: Hannah and Joseph Kader will celebrate their 65lth wedding anniversary
on Jan. 20. They will be honored at a dinner at Anthony's Harborside. The
affair has been arranged by the Kaders' nephew, Sheldon Tamkin, and his wife
Judy. Sharing in the joy of celebration will be the Kaders' children and
grandchildren, Errol (Bud) and Harriet Kader, and their children, Steven and
Arlyn; and Sheldon Kader and his children, Mitchell and Daniell. Joe and
Hannah also have two great-grandchildren, Brandon Kader ( 2 1/2) and Arrianne
Kader (1). Joe and Hannah have known each other since they were infants.
They grew up together and fell in love. "We were kissing
cousins," says Joe, "and our mothers put us in the crib together when
we were babies." Joe and Hannah were married on Jan. 20, 1924, in the
Boyle Heights area of Los Angeles. At that time Joe was known as Joey Karel on
the vaudeville circuit and he sang, danced, and joked his way across the country
with many of the notables of the day. "Hannah toured with me in one
act," Joe said, "but a Burns and Allen we weren't." Joe
gave up his stage career and took a job with Armour and Company, and the Kaders
moved to Milwaukee. After two years in his hometown, the Kaders were again on
the move, and Joe because the San Diego County representative for Rath Packing
Company. During the war years, Joe owned Buddy's Naval Tailors. In 1952, he was
hired by Bernard Food Industries and traveled throughout California, Washington,
Oregon and Arizona. He was retired after 24 years. "I got too
old," he said, "and they let me go." Joe was 75 years
old. The Kaders have been active in the local community. Joe served on the
board of directors of Tifereth Israel Synagogue and as hose chairman (executive
director). Hannah did volunteer work in the synagogue office and is a life
member of the sisterhood. She was also the manager and one of the founders
of the Tifereth Israel Gift Shop. Joe and Hannah's sons became bar mitzvah at
Tifereth Israel Synagogue; Sheldon at the 18th Street shul and Bud at the shul
at 30th and Howard Streets. Bud's son, Steven, became Bar Mitzvah at Tifereth
Israel's current location on Cowles Mountain Boulevard. Joe is also active in
Masonic affiliated organizations. He is a member of Blackmer Lodge,
Scottish Rite and Al Bahr Shrine. Joe has used his talents of the
vaudeville days to entertain at many, many activities. "I miss the
stage," he said. "I can still telll 'em (jokes) and I can still
make them laugh. Now I write poetry."

December 16, 2005Bud Kader to Donald H.
Harrison (e-mail): Don, Keep up the good work because as
you do thoughts and historical insights keep popping up from the depths of my
memory. i.e. when you mentioned Baruch Stern [in a recent San Diego
Jewish Times column]
I recalled my father telling me he was so proud to have been one of the original
signers (sponsors) to bring him here from Europe. Just a little tidbit, I
thought you would find interesting. Best Wishes, Bud
