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

This week's Yizkor book excerpt on the JewishGen Facebook page
#general
Bruce Drake
Most of the Yizkor book excerpts I present each week are dramatic
ones: harrowing tales of survival, grim tales of death and struggles of daily life. But I found myself touched by this affectionate portrait of a father in this chapter >from the Yizkor book of Rokiskis, Lithuania. In "My Father's Nigun" (melody), Shlomo Rubin remembers how his father - someone who had no education beyond the cheder and at a young age "had to hitch himself up to the wagon of life" - would wake up early, and fortified by tea, "read the Psalms with such a touching melody that engraved itself deep inside me." He was a man who saved the best of the fish he sold >from his cart for his poorer customers. And he was a man moved to copious tears in the synagogue, particularly during the Day of Awe, when his cries sounded like they had been "torn from the deepest cells in his heart - the pain that had collected in himduring an entire year." URL: https://www.facebook.com/JewishGen.org/posts/2495202600501880?__tn__=K-R Bruce Drake Silver Spring MD Researching: DRACH, EBERT, KIMMEL, ZLOTNICK Towns: Wojnilow, Kovel

GROSSBARD, BINDER, REBITZER/RIES, HALPERN, MINSKY - Vienna or NYC
#general
Joseph Lonstein
In 1939, a SPERBER relative born in Sieniawa, Galicia and living in Vienna
listed on a concentration camp document that a Fanny GROSSBARD was his closest relative in Vienna. Through the usual databases I found that this woman was Fanny KUPFERSTEIN recte BINDER (b. 1892, d. 1943 Auchwitz) married in Vienna to Adolf GROSSBARD (b. 1889, d. 1935 Vienna). Their daughter was a Herta GROSSBARD (1918-1982) who came to the States in 1939 and married Hugo REBITZER (aka RIES) in Alabama, and the couple very soon thereafter lived in NYC and later Haworth and North Bergen, New Jersey. When coming to the States, Herta GROSSBARD listed a Jennie HALPERN in Brooklyn as her aunt. In the 1940 U.S. census I found at the exact address on Herta's manifest a Jennie HALPERN (b. 1884), likely the widow of Julius HALPERN with children Isadore HALPERN (b. 1908; a school teacher), George HALPERN (b. 1918; also a schoolteacher), and Bessie (b. 1909, married MINSKY). Anything ring a bell? Thank you, Joe Lonstein East Lansing, Michigan, USA MODERATOR NOTE: Please email Joe privately with contact information.
