JewishGen.org Discussion Group FAQs
What is the JewishGen.org Discussion Group?
The JewishGen.org Discussion Group unites thousands of Jewish genealogical researchers worldwide as they research their family history, search for relatives, and share information, ideas, methods, tips, techniques, and resources. The JewishGen.org Discussion Group makes it easy, quick, and fun, to connect with others around the world.
Is it Secure?
Yes. JewishGen is using a state of the art platform with the most contemporary security standards. JewishGen will never share member information with third parties.
How is the New JewishGen.org Discussion Group better than the old one?
Our old Discussion List platform was woefully antiquated. Among its many challenges: it was not secure, it required messages to be sent in Plain Text, did not support accented characters or languages other than English, could not display links or images, and had archives that were not mobile-friendly.
This new platform that JewishGen is using is a scalable, and sustainable solution, and allows us to engage with JewishGen members throughout the world. It offers a simple and intuitive interface for both members and moderators, more powerful tools, and more secure archives (which are easily accessible on mobile devices, and which also block out personal email addresses to the public).
I am a JewishGen member, why do I have to create a separate account for the Discussion Group?
As we continue to modernize our platform, we are trying to ensure that everything meets contemporary security standards. In the future, we plan hope to have one single sign-in page.
I like how the current lists work. Will I still be able to send/receive emails of posts (and/or digests)?
Yes. In terms of functionality, the group will operate the same for people who like to participate with email. People can still send a message to an email address (in this case, main@groups.JewishGen.org), and receive a daily digest of postings, or individual emails. In addition, Members can also receive a daily summary of topics, and then choose which topics they would like to read about it. However, in addition to email, there is the additional functionality of being able to read/post messages utilizing our online forum (https://groups.jewishgen.org).
Does this new system require plain-text?
No.
Can I post images, accented characters, different colors/font sizes, non-latin characters?
Yes.
Can I categorize a message? For example, if my message is related to Polish, or Ukraine research, can I indicate as such?
Yes! Our new platform allows members to use “Hashtags.” Messages can then be sorted, and searched, based upon how they are categorized. Another advantage is that members can “mute” any conversations they are not interested in, by simply indicating they are not interested in a particular “hashtag.”
Will all posts be archived?
Yes.
Can I still search though old messages?
Yes. All the messages are accessible and searchable going back to 1998.
What if I have questions or need assistance using the new Group?
Send your questions to: support@JewishGen.org
How do I access the Group’s webpage?
Follow this link: https://groups.jewishgen.org/g/main
So just to be sure - this new group will allow us to post from our mobile phones, includes images, accented characters, and non-latin characters, and does not require plain text?
Correct!
Will there be any ads or annoying pop-ups?
No.
Will the current guidelines change?
Yes. While posts will be moderated to ensure civility, and that there is nothing posted that is inappropriate (or completely unrelated to genealogy), we will be trying to create an online community of people who regulate themselves, much as they do (very successfully) on Jewish Genealogy Portal on Facebook.
What are the new guidelines?
There are just a few simple rules & guidelines to follow, which you can read here:https://groups.jewishgen.org/g/main/guidelines
Thank you in advance for contributing to this amazing online community!
If you have any questions, or suggestions, please email support@JewishGen.org.
Sincerely,
The JewishGen.org Team

Yizkor Book Project, April 2017

Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
As Israel recently celebrated its 69th year, it's significant to note that one of the articles added this past month to the Yizkor Book Project was by David Ben Gurion, Israel's first Prime Minister. The article provides his youthful recollections of his hometown of Plonsk, Poland and events in this community relating to the establishment of the Jewish State. In what has almost become a regular monthly event, once again, I am pleased to announce the completion of a further two Yizkor Book projects. The first being the Rokiskis (Lithuania) book "Yizkor book of Rakishok and environs" which owes its success to the untiring dedication of Tim Baker over many years. Our grateful thanks go out to him for carrying this important project through to its successful completion. The other project that was completed this past month is "Bricha" (Escape) which is yet another compilation by William Leibner who continues to provide the Yizkor Book Project with a myriad of his works relating to the Holocaust and the destroyed Jewish communities. His important contribution to the YB Project is very much appreciated and I should point out that one of the new entries added in April comes >from a new compilation of his, which includes information on a number of communities in the Novyy Yarychiv (Ukraine) vicinity. Another new addition this past month comes >from Mike Jackoboice who kindly donated a report that he prepared on the Jakobowicz name. The report obviously has particular interest to those of you with connections to this surname, but also has relevance to the community of Kalisz (Poland) and the Holocaust in general, and is worth reading. Finally, we recently set up a Wolomin Translations Fund in order to raise money for the professional translation of the "Volomin; a memorial to the Jewish community of Volomin" book. For those of you with roots in this community, you are invited to support this important project listed on our JewishGen-erosity Translation Funds page http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 where you'll also find around 80 other projects calmly waiting for your monetary support. And now for details of all the updates and additions that were carried out in the Yizkor Book Project in April. We have added in 5 new entries: - Didyliv, Ukraine (Memorial Book of the Jewish communities of Dziedzilow, Winniki, Barszczowice, Pidelisek, Pidbaritz, Kukizov, Old Jarczow, Pekalowice, Kamenopole & Nowy Jarczow) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Dziedzilow/Dziedzilow.html - Stanislavchyk, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol2_00376.html - Stara Sil', Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol2_00377.html - Staryy Sambor, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol2_00378.html - Tolscva, Hungary (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Hungary) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_hungary/hun308.html Added in 3 new books: - Halle, Germany (300 years of Jews in Halle: Life, deeds, suffering) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Halle/Halle.html - Jakobowicz (Jakobowicz, Jakubowicz) Surname Variants in Holocaust Records http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Jakobowicz/Jakobowicz.html - Witten, Germany ("...

General question about researching male vs. female relatives
#belarus
Jonathan D. Sher, OD, FAAO <jdsherod@...>
The following question is for those that work with outside researchers.
More specifically, if you are using a researcher in the area where your relatives once lived, do you find that it's easier to locate information on male relatives as opposed to female relatives? One of my researchers has exhausted all avenues of research on my great grandfather (Schereshefsky), so I am wondering if it's worth spending money to try looking for background on his wife (Predmeska)? Thanks, Jonathan D. Sher, OD Looking for Schereshefsky, Predmeska, Treskov, and Swerdlov

Shalom,
As Israel recently celebrated its 69th year, it's significant to note that one of the articles added this past month to the Yizkor Book Project was by David Ben Gurion, Israel's first Prime Minister. The article provides his youthful recollections of his hometown of Plonsk, Poland and events in this community relating to the establishment of the Jewish State. In what has almost become a regular monthly event, once again, I am pleased to announce the completion of a further two Yizkor Book projects. The first being the Rokiskis (Lithuania) book "Yizkor book of Rakishok and environs" which owes its success to the untiring dedication of Tim Baker over many years. Our grateful thanks go out to him for carrying this important project through to its successful completion. The other project that was completed this past month is "Bricha" (Escape) which is yet another compilation by William Leibner who continues to provide the Yizkor Book Project with a myriad of his works relating to the Holocaust and the destroyed Jewish communities. His important contribution to the YB Project is very much appreciated and I should point out that one of the new entries added in April comes >from a new compilation of his, which includes information on a number of communities in the Novyy Yarychiv (Ukraine) vicinity. Another new addition this past month comes >from Mike Jackoboice who kindly donated a report that he prepared on the Jakobowicz name. The report obviously has particular interest to those of you with connections to this surname, but also has relevance to the community of Kalisz (Poland) and the Holocaust in general, and is worth reading. Finally, we recently set up a Wolomin Translations Fund in order to raise money for the professional translation of the "Volomin; a memorial to the Jewish community of Volomin" book. For those of you with roots in this community, you are invited to support this important project listed on our JewishGen-erosity Translation Funds page http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 where you'll also find around 80 other projects calmly waiting for your monetary support. And now for details of all the updates and additions that were carried out in the Yizkor Book Project in April. We have added in 5 new entries: - Didyliv, Ukraine (Memorial Book of the Jewish communities of Dziedzilow, Winniki, Barszczowice, Pidelisek, Pidbaritz, Kukizov, Old Jarczow, Pekalowice, Kamenopole & Nowy Jarczow) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Dziedzilow/Dziedzilow.html - Stanislavchyk, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol2_00376.html - Stara Sil', Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol2_00377.html - Staryy Sambor, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol2_00378.html - Tolscva, Hungary (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Hungary) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_hungary/hun308.html Added in 3 new books: - Halle, Germany (300 years of Jews in Halle: Life, deeds, suffering) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Halle/Halle.html - Jakobowicz (Jakobowicz, Jakubowicz) Surname Variants in Holocaust Records http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Jakobowicz/Jakobowicz.html - Witten, Germany ("...

(Netherlands) Amsterdam's Jewish Library Ets Haim--World's' Oldest Functional Library
#sephardic
Jan Meisels Allen
Ets Haim, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, is the world's oldest functional
Jewish library. Its origins were >from Sephardic Jews in 1639, many who fled the Inquisition in Spain and Portugal funded a school and meeting place for their newfound religious freedom, which today is Ets Haim. In 1675 it moved to the Portuguese Synagogue and 200 years later the librarian of the time donated his 20,000 books, manuscripts and illustrations to Ets Haim. During Nazi occupation the library contents were shipped to Germany, but today they are back in Amsterdam with approximately 30,000 printed work=s dating back to 1484 and 500 mansucripts dating back to 1282! Ets Haim has been digitizing its manuscript for ease of accessibility. Go to: http://etshaimmanuscripts.nl/manuscripts/ and select a category such as "Jewish question and Inquisition" or "History" or other categories to view the manuscript. This is a work in progress so not all 500 manuscripts are fully digitized.

Looking to connect with living descendants of Tzvi TUKER

Bella Tseytlin
Hello,
I am looking for any information on living descendants of Tzvi TUKER, who in 1956 has submitted POT on YV re: my granduncle Iosel Leyzer Bak, b. 1986 and his wife Chana Bak, nee Varance, b.1900. Both of Utena Lithuania. Sadly, Tzvi past away in 2000 as well as his son, don't recall son's name. All my contacts to YV, IGRA, messages to number of Tuker names on FB didn't yield any results. I have also sent message to a site manager of Tuker family on MyHeritage. Nothing so far. Any advise is appreciated. Thanks a lot Bella Tseytlin.

Shalom,
As Israel recently celebrated its 69th year, it's significant to note that one of the articles added this past month to the Yizkor Book Project was by David Ben Gurion, Israel's first Prime Minister. The article provides his youthful recollections of his hometown of Plonsk, Poland and events in this community relating to the establishment of the Jewish State. In what has almost become a regular monthly event, once again, I am pleased to announce the completion of a further two Yizkor Book projects. The first being the Rokiskis (Lithuania) book "Yizkor book of Rakishok and environs" which owes its success to the untiring dedication of Tim Baker over many years. Our grateful thanks go out to him for carrying this important project through to its successful completion. The other project that was completed this past month is "Bricha" (Escape) which is yet another compilation by William Leibner who continues to provide the Yizkor Book Project with a myriad of his works relating to the Holocaust and the destroyed Jewish communities. His important contribution to the YB Project is very much appreciated and I should point out that one of the new entries added in April comes >from a new compilation of his, which includes information on a number of communities in the Novyy Yarychiv (Ukraine) vicinity. Another new addition this past month comes >from Mike Jackoboice who kindly donated a report that he prepared on the Jakobowicz name. The report obviously has particular interest to those of you with connections to this surname, but also has relevance to the community of Kalisz (Poland) and the Holocaust in general, and is worth reading. Finally, we recently set up a Wolomin Translations Fund in order to raise money for the professional translation of the "Volomin; a memorial to the Jewish community of Volomin" book. For those of you with roots in this community, you are invited to support this important project listed on our JewishGen-erosity Translation Funds page http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 where you'll also find around 80 other projects calmly waiting for your monetary support.
