Finding the Afikomen

Roger found the afikomen, 1938

The first time that Roger felt a sense of his Jewish identity was when he was studying for his Bar Mitzvah in Hebrew school in 1943. Roger went to a little synagogue called Beth Joseph. Roger recalls his grandmother (Rose or Rachel) lighting Shabbat candles.

Roger also remembers celebrating Passover with his whole family. His family was all from Chicago. His father's brothers and their families came. However, Roger's mother's family celebrated Passover with his mother's parents. Passover was celebrated at Roger's house in Chicago.
