Shalom,

This time our Yizkor Book monthly report coincides with the beginning
of Channuka and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you dear
readers and your families, a bright, enjoyable and enlightening
holiday.

As it happens, many of the Yizkor books have vivid descriptions of how
Channuka and the other Jewish festivals were celebrated in the
communities that these books cover, bringing us an insight of the life
we know precious little about. We are fortunate that, at least, these
descriptions of the period before the Holocaust do exist in these
books and our aim is to make the stories and information they contain
as widely accessible as possible. As most of the books were written in
Yiddish and Hebrew, for the many unable to read these languages, the
challenge of our project is to provide the books in English and other
languages to allow the information they contain to be read freely and
globally over the Internet.

A classic example of the colorful descriptions about the Jewish
festivals is something that is included in the Meichow, Poland Yizkor
book which I am happy to say, the translation of which, was completed
during November. We are greatly indebted to Bill Cherny who diligently
coordinated and generously financially supported its translation,
making it available to all of you with roots in Miechow and nearby
communities. We are now able to read about the life style, the people
and yes, the festivals, of this Jewish community that is no more.

It is clear that to carry out the complete translation of the books,
which are many hundreds of pages in length, does require considerable
funds to undertake. This does mean that a joint effort is called for
in order to achieve the goal of completely translating a Yizkor book.
So, as always, if you are able to make a donation of any size to one
of the many Translation Funds we have running, you will be doing your
part to make this happen. Details of all the these books may be found
in the JewishGen-erosity link at the end of this report.

In many cases, our projects don’t end with the completion of the book
and the translations go on to our Yizkor Books in Print Project where
that dedicated team deftly converts them into something substantial -
a hard-covered book. As such, I am pleased to let you know that yet
another project has gone on to this second stage and this time it is
the book on the community of Roman, Romania. Details of this and the
over 70 other books may be found through the link at the end of this
report.

And now for the additions and updates are what we've carried out
during November:

Yizkor-Books-In-Print Project announces the publication of its 76th title, The Memorial book of Roman Romania #general

Joel Alpert

#234713

The Yizkor-Books-In-Print Project of JewishGen is proud to announce
the publication of its 76th title, The Jewish Community of Roman
(Roman, Romania)

This is a hard cover book, 11 inches by 8.5 inches with 180 pages.

This book is a translation of Obstea evreiascaa din Romanin by Pincu
Pascal and published by Editura Hasefer, Bucuresti, Romania, 2001.

List price: $42.95 Available on Amazon for around $31 may have lower
prices elsewhere

For more information go to:
https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip/YBIP_Roman.html

The Romanian city of Roman is situated in the northeastern part of the
country, at the confluence of the Moldova and Siret rivers, on the
great road of the Siret, which long ago connected the north of Moldova
with the Danube ports. The Jewish population in the city is believed
to date >from as early as the beginning of 15thcentury. It is believed
that a wooden synagogue existed in Roman at that time, on the same lot
where the Main Synagogue was standing later (in the 20th century). It
was but the first of what would become 18 synagogues serving a
population of more than 6,000 Jews by the beginning of the 1940s,
which along with a wide range of social, educational, and cultural
institutions was a measure of the vitality of the community.

In this scholarly volume, the rich portrait of the Jewish community in
Roman that was about to be annihilated is painted in meticulous
detail, covering every aspect of life over the centuries of its
existence.

Alternate names for the town are: Roman [Romanian], Romesmarkt
[German], Romanvasar [Hungarian], Romanvarasch

Thank you, Yefim, for taking the time to give such a detailed response to my query.  I think that there 
have been so many trees (reports about records) that I lost sight of the forest (the overall picture). 
You have refocused my view.  

With all that, I confess that I am a bit disappointed that I've yet to find a single record of my family 
in Kalarash.
