"Training and Tradition Of Family Giving," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 1: One of the highlights of "Magic Carpet Day" was seeing the Rabinowitz family turn out en masse to help. There were Max and Mollie, Seymour and Janice Rabin, Herbert and Edith Reder, all pitching in as workers.  Mollie and Max went out as buck privates and brought back the bacon (oops—pardon)—salami. So did all the children. The Rabinowitz family is also among the top givers in San Diego, and the tradition of giving is firmly established in their children. Here is what they gave this year.  Max Rabinowitz—$5,000; Mollie Rabinowitz—$500; Seymour Rabin—$1,000; Janice Rabin $100; Herbert Reder—$400; Edith Reder—$100, and Dorothy (Rabinowitz) Arenson from Des Moines, Iowa—$200.  The local contribution of the family was $7,300.
