There was a recent discussion in this group about
the role of Jews in the liquor industry in the old
country. Beer and alcohol were indeed very much
Jewish-dominated business in much of Russia.

There is a slim volume called "Heshetiyya KaDat" by Yehudah Leib
Lipkind, published in 1898, discussing many aspects of alcoholic
beverages, including the new laws and licensing regulations issued
by Czarist Russia.

Fascinating title. You might have mentioned that < ha-shetiyyah ka-dat >
is a punning use of a phrase appearing in the book of Esther chapter one,
meaning (roughly) "drinking is in accordance with the law"!

Steve,
If you know where your grandparents are buried, perhaps you could go to
the Chevra Kadisha for that section (>from that time) and get the records?

Dear Fellow Ukraine SIG Researchers,

One must remember that documents that are matters of public record
in the
US (& perhaps other countries) are not matters of public record here
in
Israel. One correction in Steve Rivkin's posting is that it is the
Ministry of the Interior that issues the Death Certificates. The
rabbinate has nothing to do with them. It is marriage licenses that
they
are responsible for....
I, too,
have applied for my great-grandmother's Death Certificate and spoke
with
people at the Ministry of Interior. I was told that the original
document
is never copied but the information that it contains is copied and
sent to
the family member who requests it. If you are not a family member,
you
need a power of attorney >from the family member to apply for it.

Subject: [ukraine] mandate era death certificates in Israel

Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and found a
solution.

Both my great great grandparents died in Israel in 1924 and the
other in
1925. Its my understanding that these mandate era death certificates
were
in English. Under the British the only death certificate copy I can
get

from Israel is an <extract> >from the Ministry of Religious Affairs

who
issues such certificates. I believe this might be all they have
access to -
but one Rabbi said by writing he was able to get a small bit of
additional
info. They issue these certificates in Hebrew.

I want a photocopy of the orginal certificate which 1] is in English
and
2] it is said they contain additional info often such as a]last
address
and b] perhaps names of parents.

Shalom,
Steve Rivkin

Hi
I'm searching for my ancestors born in Israilovka. I have found this shtetl
in the M. Atlas Encarta, 48dg 32' NO 27dg 44'E, but I haven't found it at
any map nor town list at Jewishgen. It not appears into the Indexuke nor the
Shtetlseeker. Several families having their roots in Israilovka named it
also as Yazer, that I could not found too.

Anybody knows in which Russian Empire Gubernia that shtetl was? It is abt.
98 Km SO >from Vinnytsya, close (10 km to North) of Mohyliv-Podols'kyy and
the Moldavian border.
It corresponds at this time to Vinnyts'ka Oblast.

Hi,

How can I locate my G-G-Grandfather's burial site ?. He died in London in
1924, but I don't have any idea where exactly did he lived.

I've got his Death Certificate >from the General Register Office. The
registration District was the "Mile End Old Town, South Western, County of
London". The informant was registered as "Deputy Coroner for the Eastern
District of London". These are the only clues I have about his residence...
Yaacov Slizak

Mile End was an area of the East End of London heavily populated by Jews
before WW2. Unfortunately some of the cemeteries on that side of London,
which were probably still used by Jews dying in the 1920s, were either
bombed during the war or have fallen into disrepair so that the stones are
rarely legible today even if you can accessthem. But some are still
extant, so you might get lucky, especially if you can pinpoint which
synagogue he belonged to, which in turn might enable you to pinpoint which
cemetery he would most likely have been buried in. Try writing to Cyril
Fox of JGSGB (the Jewish Genealogical Society of Great Britain) who is
very expert in these matters. (I can give you his e-mail if you would like
to do this).

There are actually two Cypress Hills cemeteries. New Cypress Hills and
Cypress Hills. They are located adjacent to one another on the
Brooklyn/Queens border. Check to see which one responded to you and get
in touch with the other one. Perhaps he is buried there.

Philip SOLOMON, aged 17, in 1922, was on a sled with my Uncle Julius KLEIN
when they struck a tree. The incident took place on Temple Street in
Paterson, New Jersey and I am wondering if anyone out there might be related
to Philip. He sustained minor injuries, my Uncle died the next morning.
Sound familiar? I just received the newspaper articles of the incident.
