Hello,

I have received from polish archives 4 documents attached to the marriage of Michal Szwarcberg and Rajzla Goldsztejn on November 29, 1881 in Barczkowice/Kamiensk. This time, I hope these are the right documents.

As I don't read Russian, would someone be kind enough to translate it for me?

It is on ViewMate at the following address :

My now-retired rabbi from my now-former shul in the USA (though my wife and I still maintain our status as "Honorary Members" through a special dues rate accorded to people who have relocated from the vicinity) was active with the chevra kadisha.  We had numerous discussions regarding funeral and burial practices.

Seems that there are many people who, for whatever reason, acquired surnames such as Cohen or Katz when they were not in fact Kohanim, or surnames such as Levy or Levinson when they in fact were not Leviim.  The Hebrew spelling of their surnames in such cases is (or at least should be) קוהן or קץ  instead of כהן or כץ , or לבי or  לבינסון   instead of לוי or  . לוינסון

Hi,
Katz is an acronyms for Cohen Tzedek (caf, tzadi in Hebrew  כ"ץ).
Cohen is Priest, the highest status in terms of religious ascendency, and Tzedek means Justice. So Katz is a "Priest of Justice". You can learn more here.
