Give Belated Apology

The whereabouts of a Bernice
Weissman, who lived in Rehovot,
Palestine, in 1935-45, are sought
by Ittamar S. Romm of Johannes-
burg. South Africa,
Romm, head of I. S. Romm
Brokers, Ltd., said in a letter to
The Jewish News that he met a
Weissman family in Rehovot in
1935. The Weissmans, who were
from Detroit, invited Romm to
come to their seder in February
1944, while he was serving as a
chaplain with the South African
Army.
"Unfortunately, on my return to
Egypt, I was instructed to sail
to Italy with matzo and wine for
the South African Jewish troops,
under strict secrecy as to my
movements. Unfortunately, I was
unable to roll up for the seder,
nor give the reason why."
Romm said he heard that the
family had lived in Detroit in 1947.
Information may be directed to
Romm at P.O. Box 1896, Johannes-
burg.

The "masev zkanim" to which
Sam Rubin referred in his
article on "Passover Seder at
Borman Hall" last week (page
25) is an unintentional comm.
tion of "moshav zkanim," or
"settlement of elders." Mr.
Rubin, who puts naturalism
into his writing, wrote it ex-
actly the way he pronounces it.
This would be quite acceptable
to Ernest Hemingway.
