The man at the head of the Sabbath table

The man who stood at the head of the table, broad-faced, in a dark suit and patterned tie with a black skullcap on his head, speaks with a slight turn of the head between two tall candles; the dark curtain fills the background. The source names Benjamin F. Greenspan as head of the household; the image alone does not confirm which of the men he is. In 1939 about two million Jews lived in New York, more than in any other city in the world.
