"There would be birds flying around and birdseed all over the floor," recalls Leah, now 62 and the owner-operator of a kosher delicatessen in West Los Angeles.

Esther Halperin, 77, who wears the kind of art deco glasses that curl at the sides, spent her honeymoon in Atlantic City in 1925, at a kosher hotel on Virginia Avenue. She had two older sisters, and her parents refused to let her marry before they did, so she was forced to elope. "We only had 2½ days," she recalls. "We were married on a Tuesday, and I had to be back Friday night to light the candles. My in-laws were very religious." Her husband, who became a manufacturer of burlap bags, died two years ago.
