Kibbutz Givat HaShlosha Contact Details
#israel
aaran1286@...
Shalom friends,
I have recently been sent a picture of my great grandmother by a relative. On the back (in Hebrew), it says that it was taken in Givat HaShlosha in March 1938. I would be grateful if someone could please provide me with the contact details of Givat HaShlosha's archives, so I can see if they have any more info on my great grandmother. I could not find anything online. Thank you very much. Best wishes, Yoav Aran London |

Re: Was it proper for a nephew to marry his aunt?
#general
clucenti@...
Hi Jeffrey,
Although I cannot recall any instances of an aunt marrying her nephew, I have at least two instances of an uncle marrying his niece. In one case, the youngest brother married the daughter of his older sister when she turned up 3 months pregnant. On the other hand, first cousin marriages were extraordinarily common (too many in my tree to count). I even have a couple of instances where a stepbrother married a stepsister.

I hesitate to say this, but could it denote a "mixed" marriage, or "mixed" parentage? Perhaps Sherri's suggestion could clarify this.

What does the abbreviation "MZ" or "M3" mean in the Creed column of the 1897 Russian census?
#translation

ben.zitomer@...
Does anyone know the meaning of the abbreviation "MZ" or "M3" in the Creed column of the 1897 Russian census? The census page for my great-great-grandparents, Avrum & Rifka Volodarskiy, lists eight family members. The first four members have the notation "MZ" (or it could be M3) in the Creed column. The other four family members are listed as Jewish. I have not come across this notation in any other census records.
Below is the link to the census file, which is for the village of Horodyshche-Pustovarovsky. My family's record is on page 123 of the pdf:
Thank you, Ben Zitomer ben.zitomer@... |

Gil,
Are you able to look at similar documents from the same time frame in the archive which holds these? If "mixte" is found on other pages than you may be able to see a pattern. Regards, Sherri Bobish |

There was (were) a R' Yisrael ROSENBAUM of Ostrow, who was a follower
of R' Yehoshua Heschel of Apta. I write (were) as the book "Mazkeret Legedolei Ostrov mentions two people of the same name but writes that they may have been the same person. According to our family records, Yisrael's son Yosef married a daughter of one of the admo"rs of Karlin-Stolin. My ancestor (the above Yisrael) came to Eretz Yisrael (Tzfat and/or Tveria) during the first half of the 19th cent. His children stayed in Europe. His son's, David (who had changed his name to SCHECHTER), son Yacov Gedalia SCHECHTER came to Israel in the latter years of that century to "check up" on his grandfather. Yacov Gedalia stayed in Israel (I am his great grandson). I have in my family tree all the descendants of Yacov Gedalia and a few of his sibling but would be happy to be contacted by other branches of Yisrael ROSENBAUM's children. Yoni Ben-Ari, Jerusalem |

Michael Greenfield
re: added by hand 'mixte'
I am also not an expert on these matters, but I think that the notation 'mixte' may refer to other contexts. 'Reconstitution des actes de l'état civil' implies that the original document(s) were lost and that the parties were demanding a replacement. That replacement would have required a tribunal decision(s), and there may have been two tribunes ; e.g. B and P. I have not seen actes de mariage - civil documents - from the 19th century, or 20th century for that matter, indicating the religion of the partners. Michael D.

Re: Was it proper for a nephew to marry his aunt?
#general
Irene Newhouse
In my family in the early 20th century, a widower married a much younger 2nd wife. After she was widowed, she and one of her late husband's nephews fell in love & married in a civil ceremony. The family was shocked because in their understanding it violated religious law & disowned them. They were not aunt & nephew in the sense of 'father's sister' or 'mother's sister'; if there were common ancestors, it was before any family memories.

JUROVSKY,Catherine
Hello Gil
I am not a specialist but I do not think it has anything to do with the nazis. The naturalization files were scanned from 1927 onwards and special denaturalization committee was set up by the french administration (few people were effectively denaturalized) but the notion of going as far as 1850 seems more than adventurous to me ! Plus religion nor race was never mentioned in France ! But of course somebody could prove me wrong !! Best regards Catherine JUROVSKY catherine.jurovsky@... |

Nephew and aunt marriage is a clear Torah prohibition.
Leviticus 18: 11-13 עֶרְוַת אֲחוֹת־אָבִיךָ לֹא תְגַלֵּה שְׁאֵר אָבִיךָ הִוא׃ (ס) Do not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister; she is your father’s flesh. עֶרְוַת אֲחוֹת־אִמְּךָ לֹא תְגַלֵּה כִּי־שְׁאֵר אִמְּךָ הִוא׃ (ס) Do not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister; for she is your mother’s flesh. Here's a summary with footnote links about forbidden sexual relationships in Judaism. https://torah.org/learning/halacha-overview-chapter27/ This additional article, which talks about prohibited vs allowed relationships, includes mention of the irony of Karaite Jews, who say they reject oral law, but have made their own oral law. https://www.thetorah.com/article/which-relatives-are-you-prohibited-from-marrying Ellen Zyroff On Monday, May 17, 2021, 07:23:16 PM PDT, Jeffrey Herrmann <jeffrey.herrmann@...> wrote:
My fourth great grandfather, Michel Herschel, (b. abt 1770) married his father’s sister, Rane Herschel, (b. abt 1755) in Hamburg.

Their youngest may have been born as early as 1786, although this date is uncertain.

Re: Hebrew translation on headstone
#translation
fredelfruhman
You did not ask for a translation of the stone on the right. However, since someone did translate it, I want to add the fact that Hillel's name is preceded by an abbreviation for the phrase "our teacher, the rabbi". This indicates that he had rabbinic ordination, not necessarily that he was the rabbi of a congregation.

Mendl Vaysman from Zinkov Memorial Book
#ukraine
Meryl Goldberg
I just received my copy of the Zinkov Memorial Book. It in I found reference to a Mendl Vaysman who immigrated to Israel in 1922 and died there in 1956. I'm trying to find any living relatives he might have. My GGrandfather was Mendel Weisman who was originally from Zinkov but lived and worked in Proskurov. He married my GGrandmother Mirka Ehrlichman (his 3rd wife) who was an orphan from Zinkov. They emigrated with their 7 children to the US in 1912. Mendel's parents were Moshe Vaisman and Sara Litsinger. Thanks for any information you can give me.

Another interesting aspect of these marriages of an uncle to a niece is that they are illegal in most states. My grandfather married my grandmother, his half niece, in 1919 in Providence, Rhode Island despite residing in the Bronx because there was and still is an exception in Rhode Island law for "any marriage which shall be solemized among the Jewish people within the degrees of affinity or cosanguinity allowed by their religion."
