Some 6000 Jews participated in collective seders in 28 communities throughout Rumania, Chief Rabbi Moses Rosen reported today. At the Chief Rabbi’s seder, Jewish members of the Academy of Science, writers, artists and hundreds of students attended the ceremony which lasted until 2 a.m. More than 10,000 Jews received aid for Passover in the form of money, matzohs and kosher food through the help of the Joint Distribution Committee and the Federation of Jewish Communities, Rosen said. He stressed that not one Jew in Rumania had to go without the means to observe Passover.
