Large numbers of Rumanian Jews celebrated Passover at public seders last week and matzoh and Israeli Carmel brand wine were distributed to needy families by the Federation of Jewish Communities. The Jewish Federation of Bucharest held two seders attended by more than 1,700 persons, mostly students and intellectuals. Chief Rabbi Moses Rosen officiated at both. An additional 2,000 Jews reportedly took part in community seders in provincial cities and towns. A special seder was held for children who attend Hebrew classes in Bucharest.
