Lubavitcher Rebbe as King-Messiah #general

Judith Romney Wegner
 

In his helpful discussion of the tombstone inscription of a probable
descendant of Shneor Zalman of Ladi, Michael Bernet commented:

the late Reb Menachem Mendel Shnerson has been
referred to by many since his death as Hamelekh, the King (and the
Messiah--but that's a different story.)
Well, more precisely, it's all part of the SAME story. I happened by
coincidence to be visiting Israel during Hanukkah some years ago, when
illuminated signs suddenly appeared atop street signs at several
intersections, displaying a picture of the Lubavitcher Rebbe (then still
living), with the legend: Barukh Ha-Ba Ha-Melekh Ha-Mashiah, "Blessed be
he who cometh, the King Messiah!" (At the time, people argued about
whether this ambiguous message was intended as an actual acclamation of the
Rebbe himself as King Messiah, or whether it merely presented the Rebbe
ANNOUNCING the imminent arrival of King Messiah. )

In Jewish tradition, the term Messiah has been applied solely and
specifically to kings of Israel -- in biblical times, to the historical
ones and, in post-biblical times, to the future eschatological
King-Messiah for whose coming traditional Jews pray daily. Some of
today's Lubavitchers have acclaimed their recently departed Rebbe as
ha-Melekh ha-Mashiah, the "King-Messiah." This title has its source in
the Book of Samuel and Kings where three kings of Israel (Saul, David, and
Solomon) are explicitly called Meshiah-Y-H-W-H (literally, "the LORD's
anointed one") after prophets and priests anointed them king of Israel
at God's command. (BTW, this is also why kings/queens of England and
Europe are to this day anointed with holy oil at their coronations --
because the "Old Testament" says that's how it's done -- especially if you
are trying to emphasize that you rule by Divine Right and the Grace of God,
as do Kings/Queens of England, and I suppose the other European monarchs
too.)

Later, at the time of the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BCE, there
arose the concept of Messiah more familiar to us today -- namely, the
eschatological Messiah, portrayed as a biological (i.e. fully human, not
divine) descendant of King David, whom God will one day "send" as
legitimate King of the Jews, to redeem them by retoring them to their Land
(should he appear while they are in Exile) -- or alternatively by restoring
the Land to them (should he appear while the Land is under the thumb of a
foreign ruler, like the Romans in Second Temple times).

In other words, the full symbolic title of the Messiah is and has always
been Ha-Melekh ha-Mashiah, "the Anointed King" or "the King Messiah." So
it's really all part of the same story!

Searching for information on Rabbi Samuel MOHILEVER #general

Bonnie Pollack <bpollack@...>
 

I have hit a dead end. My grandfather Dov Ber MOGELEVER told his children
that he was the grandson on Rabbi Samuel MOHILEVER. He told his children
that his father David Chaim was a son of the Rabbi. I cannot seem to
prove this. While I have found relatives in Israel I cannot make the
final link. My questions: Does anyone have biographical information on
Rabbi Samuel MOHILEVER of Bialystok Poland in English or may know whre to
find it. Researcher Philip Moliver is trying to link Yom Tov (as I
understand it ) to the same Rabbi. If Eliezer and Yom Tov are the same
name I think I have a piece of the puzzle. Dov Ber and his father David
Chaim were >from David Gorodok. I even joined the "David Gorodok" society
and still no information that would help make the connection.

Has anyone done research on David Gorodok and give me hints on finding
David Chaim and his family (MOHILEVER/MOGELEFSKY)

Tracing Benjamin MARTIN[EZ] of the Royal Horse Artillery #general

Harold Pollins <pollins@...>
 

A famous incident during the British Army's retreat >from Mons, at the start
of World War I, was the stand by 'L' Battery of the Royal Horse Artillery
against overwhelming German odds. Most of the men were killed, several
Victoria Crosses were won. There are several statements in print that one
of those who took part was a Jewish artilleryman, Driver Benjamin MARTIN
who was among those killed on the day, 1 September 1914. The next month his
brother, Sgt Alfred MARTIN of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers was killed. He had
been married at the Sephardi synagogue and their names are recorded on the
Sephardi Memorial Tablet to deceased Jewish soldiers of that war as well as
on the memorial tablet of the defunct East London Synagogue which is now
housed at Waltham Abbey Cemetery.

They were obviously Regular Army soldiers or Reservists and came >from a
military family. A cousin Pte Baron MARTIN (sc Baron NUNES MARTINEZ) wrote
to a Jewish newspaper in 1915 about his two deceased cousins mentioning
that he had two brothers in the army as well as many other members of his
family. He was awarded the Military Medal during the war.

As to Dvr Benjamin MARTIN. When I tried to find out more about him I came
up against a brick wall. He didn't seem to exist. I couldn't find him in
any of the official army records that I consulted. Asoldier named MARTIN in
that unit was killed on that day but his forename was Charles. A Benjamin
MARTIN of the unit died a couple of weeks later and he came >from Bow - that
sounded useful since Bow is in the East End of London where the Martins
lived. But this Bow turned out to be a village in Devonshire.

I wonder if anyone has any knowledge of Benjamin MARTIN[EZ]? To anticipate,
I have consulted the Hon Archivist of the Spanish & Portuguese Synagogue in
London as well as World War I sites and discussion groups on the Internet,
but have drawn blanks.

A private reply would be welcome.

Searching: GOLDBERG in Chicago #general

Richard.Sapon-White@...
 

I am trying to track down the present-day descendants of my maternal grandmother's brother, Jake GOLDBERG. Thanks to some kind help >from Carol Adler Zsolnay, I now have the names and birth years for most of Jake's children (>from the 1920 census). If you recognize any of the information here, please contact me at the email address below. Thank you!

Jake was born in or near Slutsk, in what is now Belarus, around 1876, the son of Yossel Leib CHAIKIN and Soreh Yentl SIEGEL. He emigrated to the US in 1894; his name, and that of his siblings, was changed to GOLDBERG at some point during his journey. He first lived in NYC. After his marriage (ca. 1908) to Fannie (b. 1886) in NYC, they moved to Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. In 1920, still living in Prairie du Chien, were the following children:

Mary age 10
Jennie age 9
Joe age 7
Goldie age 4
Dora age 2
Robert age 1 1/2

In the 1920 census, Jake's occupation is listed as scrap iron dealer. In the late 1920's the family moved to Chicago. They were visited there by my mother's family, the PLOTKIN family, in 1933.

Again, if you're related to any of these folks, or know of their descendants, please let me know.
