This week I journeyed to Mount Zion Cemetery , Maspeth, NY (Queens) to visit the graves of my grandparents Rivka and Simon Gitlin. They were buried under the auspices of a Society called : Chevra Aiz Chaim Mazika (Machsikey) Hurav.
Has anyone any knowledge of this society and where it might have originated. I am hoping this will give me some info of their place of origin -- a specific town and country.
