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, March 2013
#rabbinic
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
Whilst you munch on your matzo, I will provide you with something to read about what happened in the Yizkor Book Project during March. For a start, as I predicted in previous reports, there were a number of projects that were completed this month. - Dotnuva, Lithuania (Letters >from Dotnuva) - Kremenets, Ukraine (Memorial book of Krzemieniec) - Szczuczyn, Poland (>from the Inferno Back to Life) The completion of the Kremenets book, in particular, comes after many years of dedicated coordination by Ron Doctor and Ellen Garshick and quite a few volunteers who deserve a deal of thanks for their splendid translations. The result of all this team's efforts has now been rewarded by the placement of the whole book online but they certainly aren't resting on their laurels and the translations of other Kremenets Yizkor Books continues on with great earnest. It is also important for me to note the completion of the Szczuczyn project which is a personal memoir belong to Itzhak Wertman z"l, who sadly passed away quite recently. I had the honor of being in contact this fine gentleman over many years and, as with many of the Holocaust survivors, he saw the great importance of making the Yizkor Book material readily available to the present generation and those to come. We are deeply indebted to him for his participation with the YB Project. Now in order for our project to continue and expand, we are always on the lookout for volunteers to help out in the wide scope of activities the Yizkor Book Project involves. So, if you are able to translate >from Hebrew or Yiddish, edit translated material or help type up English pages, your assistance in these fields would be most welcome and I would be very pleased to hear >from you.

Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
Whilst you munch on your matzo, I will provide you with something to read about what happened in the Yizkor Book Project during March. For a start, as I predicted in previous reports, there were a number of projects that were completed this month. - Dotnuva, Lithuania (Letters >from Dotnuva) - Kremenets, Ukraine (Memorial book of Krzemieniec) - Szczuczyn, Poland (>from the Inferno Back to Life) The completion of the Kremenets book, in particular, comes after many years of dedicated coordination by Ron Doctor and Ellen Garshick and quite a few volunteers who deserve a deal of thanks for their splendid translations. The result of all this team's efforts has now been rewarded by the placement of the whole book online but they certainly aren't resting on their laurels and the translations of other Kremenets Yizkor Books continues on with great earnest. It is also important for me to note the completion of the Szczuczyn project which is a personal memoir belong to Itzhak Wertman z"l, who sadly passed away quite recently. I had the honor of being in contact this fine gentleman over many years and, as with many of the Holocaust survivors, he saw the great importance of making the Yizkor Book material readily available to the present generation and those to come. We are deeply indebted to him for his participation with the YB Project. Now in order for our project to continue and expand, we are always on the lookout for volunteers to help out in the wide scope of activities the Yizkor Book Project involves. So, if you are able to translate >from Hebrew or Yiddish, edit translated material or help type up English pages, your assistance in these fields would be most welcome and I would be very pleased to hear >from you.

Yizkor Book Project, March 2013
#sephardic
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
Whilst you munch on your matzo, I will provide you with something to read about what happened in the Yizkor Book Project during March. For a start, as I predicted in previous reports, there were a number of projects that were completed this month. - Dotnuva, Lithuania (Letters >from Dotnuva) - Kremenets, Ukraine (Memorial book of Krzemieniec) - Szczuczyn, Poland (>from the Inferno Back to Life) The completion of the Kremenets book, in particular, comes after many years of dedicated coordination by Ron Doctor and Ellen Garshick and quite a few volunteers who deserve a deal of thanks for their splendid translations. The result of all this team's efforts has now been rewarded by the placement of the whole book online but they certainly aren't resting on their laurels and the translations of other Kremenets Yizkor Books continues on with great earnest. It is also important for me to note the completion of the Szczuczyn project which is a personal memoir belong to Itzhak Wertman z"l, who sadly passed away quite recently. I had the honor of being in contact this fine gentleman over many years and, as with many of the Holocaust survivors, he saw the great importance of making the Yizkor Book material readily available to the present generation and those to come. We are deeply indebted to him for his participation with the YB Project. Now in order for our project to continue and expand, we are always on the lookout for volunteers to help out in the wide scope of activities the Yizkor Book Project involves. So, if you are able to translate >from Hebrew or Yiddish, edit translated material or help type up English pages, your assistance in these fields would be most welcome and I would be very pleased to hear >from you. Now to facts and figures for March, during this last month we have added these 2 new projects: - Dunajska Streda, Slovakia (A Memorial to the Jewish Community of Dunaszerdahely) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Dunajska_Streda/Dunajska_Streda.html - Gniewoszow, Poland (Memorial Book Gniewashow) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Gniewoszow/Gniewoszow.html Added in 11 new entries: - Cimpulung la Tisa, Romania (The Marmaros Book;

Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
Whilst you munch on your matzo, I will provide you with something to read about what happened in the Yizkor Book Project during March. For a start, as I predicted in previous reports, there were a number of projects that were completed this month. - Dotnuva, Lithuania (Letters >from Dotnuva) - Kremenets, Ukraine (Memorial book of Krzemieniec) - Szczuczyn, Poland (>from the Inferno Back to Life) The completion of the Kremenets book, in particular, comes after many years of dedicated coordination by Ron Doctor and Ellen Garshick and quite a few volunteers who deserve a deal of thanks for their splendid translations. The result of all this team's efforts has now been rewarded by the placement of the whole book online but they certainly aren't resting on their laurels and the translations of other Kremenets Yizkor Books continues on with great earnest. It is also important for me to note the completion of the Szczuczyn project which is a personal memoir belong to Itzhak Wertman z"l, who sadly passed away quite recently. I had the honor of being in contact this fine gentleman over many years and, as with many of the Holocaust survivors, he saw the great importance of making the Yizkor Book material readily available to the present generation and those to come. We are deeply indebted to him for his participation with the YB Project. Now in order for our project to continue and expand, we are always on the lookout for volunteers to help out in the wide scope of activities the Yizkor Book Project involves. So, if you are able to translate >from Hebrew or Yiddish, edit translated material or help type up English pages, your assistance in these fields would be most welcome and I would be very pleased to hear >from you. Now to facts and figures for March, during this last month we have added these 2 new projects: - Dunajska Streda, Slovakia (A Memorial to the Jewish Community of Dunaszerdahely) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Dunajska_Streda/Dunajska_Streda.html - Gniewoszow, Poland (Memorial Book Gniewashow) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Gniewoszow/Gniewoszow.html Added in 11 new entries: - Cimpulung la Tisa, Romania (The Marmaros Book;
