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

Shalom,
I am always impressed and encouraged to see progress being made in our various translation projects. Some of the progress is small and some is more significant but all bring these projects closer and closer to their ultimate aim of completely translating the Yizkor Books and placing the translations online for the benefit of many. We are so fortunate to have a number of dedicated people who do all the work behind the scenes of the Yizkor Book Project. Be it encouraging funding, being in contact with our professional translators or seeking out the assistance of volunteer translators to help advance the projects. Without these wonderful people, I would have nothing to report and believe me, the activities of last month do provide me with a great deal to report. Something important to report, for instance, were a number of new books have been published last month through the auspices of the Yizkor Books in Print Project. The books that came out in April were firstly, for Karelichy, Belarus - "Korelitz: The Life and Destruction of a Jewish Community" and, secondly, "Pan Kapitan of Jordanow", dealing with the rescue of Jewish children during the Holocaust period by Yeshayahu Drucker, AKA "Pan Kapitan". A link leading to the details of these and the other published books may be found at the end of this report. 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 11 new entries: - Alytus, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume I) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania4/lit4_001.html - Mosciska, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol2_00317.html - Ocsa, Hungary (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Hungary) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_hungary/hun145.html - Ofeherto, Hungary (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Hungary) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_hungary/hun144.html - Olaszliszka, Hungary (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Hungary) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_hungary/hun142.html - Onga, Hungary (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Hungary) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_hungary/hun143.html - Opalyi, Hungary (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Hungary) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_hungary/hun145b.html - Plunge, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume II) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania5/lit5_108.html - Sulkowice, Poland (Memorial Book of the Communities Wadowice, Andrychow, Kalwarja, Myslenice, Sucha) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Wadowice/wad423.html - Varena, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume I) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania4/lit4_600.html - Zagare, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume II) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania5/lit5_242.html And we have continued to update 23 of our existing projects: - Bialystok, Poland (The Bialystoker memorial book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Bialystok1/Bialystok1.html - Capresti, Moldova (Kapresht, our village; memorial book for the Jewish community of Kapresht, Bessarabia) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Capresti/Capresti.html - Children Train http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Children_Train/Children_Train.html - Czestochowa, Poland (The Jews of Czestochowa) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czestochowa1/Czestochowa1.html - Czyzew-Osada, Poland (Czyzewo Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czyzew/Czyzew.html - Drogobych, Ukraine (Memorial to the Jews of Drohobycz, Boryslaw, and surroundings) https://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Drohobycz/Drogobych.html - Dubno, Ukraine (Dubno; a Memorial to the Jewish community of Dubno, Wolyn) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dubno/dubno.html - Jonava, Lithuania (Jonava On the Banks of the Vylia; In memory of the destroyed Jewish community of Jonava) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Jonava/Jonava.html - Kherson, Ukraine (Jewish Farmers in Russian Fields) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/JewishFarmers/JewishFarmers.html - Kolki, Ukraine (Summoned >from the Ashes) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kolki/kolki.html - Kovel, Ukraine (Kowel; Testimony and Memorial Book of Our Destroyed Community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kovel1/kovel1.html - Krasnobrod, Poland (Krasnobrod; a Memorial to the Jewish community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Krasnobrod/Krasnobrod.html - Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, Poland (Ostrowiec; a monument on the ruins of an annihilated Jewish community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ostrowiec/ostrowiec.html - Ozerna, Ukraine (Memorial book of Jezierna) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Ozerna/Ozerna.html - Radom, Poland (The book of Radom; the story of a Jewish community in Poland destroyed by the Nazis) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/radom/radom.html - Rivne, Ukraine (Rowno; a memorial to the Jewish community of Rowno, Wolyn) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/rovno/rovno.html - Roman, Romania (The Jewish Community of Roman) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/roman/roman.html - Smarhon, Belarus (Smorgonie, District Vilna; memorial book and testimony) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/smorgon/smorgon.html - Sucha, Poland (Memorial Book of the Communities Wadowice, Andrychow, Kalwarja, Myslenice, Sucha) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Wadowice/wad429.html - Svencionys, Lithuania (Svintzian region: memorial book of 23 communities) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Svencionys/Svencionys.html - Tovste, Ukraine (Memorial book of Tluste) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/tovste/tovste.html - We want to live http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/WantToLive/WantToLive.html - Wyszkow, Poland (Wyszkow Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Wyszkow/Wyszkow.html Some important links to note: - This month's additions and updates are flagged at http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/translations.html to make it easy to find them. - All you would like to know about the Yizkor Books in Print Project http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip.html - Yizkor Book Translation Funds http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 where your financial support will assist in seeing more translations go online.

Zarifkow?
#poland
Deborah Barr
I'm looking at a 1909 document where the place of birth definitely
looks like Zarifkow, Russia, but I cannot identify any place resembling that. Elsewhere the person put down Odessa as his place of birth. Any ideas about what this place might be? Thanks, Deborah Barr researching BARR in Moghilev-Podolsky; LUMER, GURIEVSKY in Bessarabia; ELSTER, HOLTZMAN, ABRAMSON, JACOBSON in Poland

Shalom,
I am always impressed and encouraged to see progress being made in our various translation projects. Some of the progress is small and some is more significant but all bring these projects closer and closer to their ultimate aim of completely translating the Yizkor Books and placing the translations online for the benefit of many. We are so fortunate to have a number of dedicated people who do all the work behind the scenes of the Yizkor Book Project. Be it encouraging funding, being in contact with our professional translators or seeking out the assistance of volunteer translators to help advance the projects. Without these wonderful people, I would have nothing to report and believe me, the activities of last month do provide me with a great deal to report. Something important to report, for instance, were a number of new books have been published last month through the auspices of the Yizkor Books in Print Project. The books that came out in April were firstly, for Karelichy, Belarus - "Korelitz: The Life and Destruction of a Jewish Community" and, secondly, "Pan Kapitan of Jordanow", dealing with the rescue of Jewish children during the Holocaust period by Yeshayahu Drucker, AKA "Pan Kapitan". A link leading to the details of these and the other published books may be found at the end of this report.

Streatham Jewish Cemetery, London
#general
Is anyone planning a trip to Streatham Cemetery soon (on Rowan Road).
I am trying to get a photo of 2 graves that are close to each other, to settle an argument! I am not great on my legs, so am unable to myself. Therefore if you are going and wouldn't mind, please let me know. It'd be a real mitzvah and would resolve a family tree issue! Please reply privately. Thank you, Daniel Gleek daniel@lobbus.co.uk

Ed Posnak
I've posted a vital record in Russian for which I need an English
translation. It is on ViewMate at the following address: http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM66644 I believe that one section of the document discusses the birth of a relative named ALITOWSKI (or LITOWSKI) If so, I'd appreciate any information about that event. Please respond via the form provided in the ViewMate application. Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide. Ed Posnak eposnak@gmail.com
