Shalom,
There seems to be some unwritten law that despite its shortness, February always seems to be one of the busiest times in the Yizkor Book Project and this last one, didn't disappoint. To begin with, I am more than very pleased to let you know that we have just completely translated and placed online, another Yizkor book. This time it is the "Czyzewo Memorial Book" covering the Czyzew-Osada, Poland community and considering that it entails 1190 columns of text (around 585 pages), this is definitely no mean feat. Our grateful thanks go out Jennifer Mohr who, >from the outset, has coordinated the translation of this book with great energy and dedication. Although the book is now completely translated, Jen is now arranging for an index to be prepared for the book which is always an invaluable additional tool that researchers can be good use of. Continuing on with the good news, I am pleased to let you know that the 80th book published by the Yizkor Books in Print Project has recently hit the shelves. The book, "The Jews of Kishinev" covering the lost Jewish community of Chisinau, Moldova has become a reality through the enthusiastic coordination of Yefim Kogan and the wonderful translations of volunteer, Sheli Fain, and of course, the YBIP team led by Joel Alpert. Our grateful thanks goes out to all those involved in the translation and publication of this book and for those interested in learning more about the other 79 books that have been published, please see the link to the YBIP project at the end of this report. Other good news. The New York Public Library has done wonders over the years to allow us ready online access to an enormous number of Yizkor books. It has now gone an extra step further and provided the public with a very useful guide for viewing the online books and also has provided useful links to other online sites, including our very own Yizkor Book Project. In my humble opinion, a worthwhile site to bookmark: https://libguides.nypl.org/yizkorbooks As Purim is just around the corner, I would like to wish you dear readers and your families, a very enjoyable time over this upbeat holiday and wish you a Happy Purim and/or a Purim Sameach. And now for the additions and updates are what we've carried out during February: We have added in 8 new entries: - Kamelishki, Belarus (Svintzian region: memorial book of 23 communities) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Svencionys/sve1449.html - Lagow, Poland (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland - Volume VII) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol7_00267a.html - Leipalingis, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_140.html - Mykolayivka-Novorosiyska, Ukraine (Akkerman and the Towns of its District; Memorial Book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Akkerman/akk357.html - Shabo, Ukraine (Akkerman and the Towns of its District; Memorial Book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Akkerman/akk367.html - Siluva, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_313.html - Vidukle, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_389.html - Zaskiewicz, Poland (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland - Volume VIII) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol8_00350.html And we have continued to update 25 of our existing projects: - Chelm, Poland (Commemoration book Chelm) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/chelm/chelm.html - Czyzew-Osada, Poland (Czyzewo Memorial Book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czyzew/Czyzew.html - Dubno, Ukraine (Dubno; a Memorial to the Jewish community of Dubno, Wolyn) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dubno/dubno.html - Kalush, Ukraine (Kalusz; The life and Destruction of the Community) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kalusz/kalusz.html - Kherson, Ukraine (Jewish Farmers in Russian Fields) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/JewishFarmers/JewishFarmers.html - Kolki, Ukraine (Summoned >from the Ashes) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kolki/kolki.html - Kremenets, Ukraine (Memorial Book of Kremenets, Vyshgorodok, and Pochayiv) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets3/kremenets3.html - Lipcani, Moldova (Lipcan of old) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Lipkany2/lipkany2.html - Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania6/lithuania6.html - Miskolc, Hungary (The martyrs of Miskolc and vicinity) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Miskolc/Miskolc.html - Nyasvizh, Belarus (The Nesvizh Yizkor Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/nesvizh/nesvizh.html - Ozerna, Ukraine (Memorial book of Jezierna) www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Ozerna/Ozerna.html - Ozeryany, Ukraine (Memorial book, Jezierzany and surroundings) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ozeryany/ozeryany.html - Przemysl, Poland (Przemysl memorial book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/przemysl/przemysl.html - Raciaz, Poland (Memorial book of the community of Racionz) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Raciaz/Raciaz.html - Smarhon, Belarus (Smorgonie, District Vilna; memorial book and testimony) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/smorgon/smorgon.html - Radekhov, Ukraine (Memorial Book of Radikhov) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Radekhov/Radekhov.html - Stowbtsy, Belarus (Memorial volume of Steibtz-Swerznie and the neighboring villages Rubezhevitz, Derevna, Nalibok) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Stowbtsy/Stowbtsy.html - Svencionys, Lithuania (Svintzian region: memorial book of 23 communities) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/svencionys/svencionys.html - The Jacob Rassen www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/JacobRassen/JacobRassen.html - Turobin, Poland (The Turobin book; in memory of the Jewish community) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Turobin/Turobin.html - Telsiai, Lithuania (Telsiai Book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Telsiai/telsiai.html - Voranava, Belarus (Voronovo: Memorial Book to the Martyrs of Voronovo) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/voronovo/voronovo.html - Wyszkow, Poland (Wyszkow Book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Wyszkow/Wyszkow.html - Zawiercie, Poland (Yizkor Book of the Holy Community of Zawiercie and Environs) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/zawiercie/zawiercie.html Some important links to note: - This month's additions and updates are flagged at 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 www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip.html - Yizkor Book Translation Funds www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 where your financial support will assist in seeing more translations go online.

Our grateful thanks goes out to all those involved in the translation and publication of this book and for those interested in learning more about the other 79 books that have been published, please see the link to the YBIP project at the end of this report. Other good news. The New York Public Library has done wonders over the years to allow us ready online access to an enormous number of Yizkor books. It has now gone an extra step further and provided the public with a very useful guide for viewing the online books and also has provided useful links to other online sites, including our very own Yizkor Book Project. In my humble opinion, a worthwhile site to bookmark: https://libguides.nypl.org/yizkorbooks As Purim is just around the corner, I would like to wish you dear readers and your families, a very enjoyable time over this upbeat holiday and wish you a Happy Purim and/or a Purim Sameach.

Shalom,
There seems to be some unwritten law that despite its shortness, February always seems to be one of the busiest times in the Yizkor Book Project and this last one, didn't disappoint. To begin with, I am more than very pleased to let you know that we have just completely translated and placed online, another Yizkor book. This time it is the "Czyzewo Memorial Book" covering the Czyzew-Osada, Poland community and considering that it entails 1190 columns of text (around 585 pages), this is definitely no mean feat. Our grateful thanks go out Jennifer Mohr who, >from the outset, has coordinated the translation of this book with great energy and dedication. Although the book is now completely translated, Jen is now arranging for an index to be prepared for the book which is always an invaluable additional tool that researchers can be good use of. Continuing on with the good news, I am pleased to let you know that the 80th book published by the Yizkor Books in Print Project has recently hit the shelves.

Final Push to Complete Jezierzany Yizkor Book
#yizkorbooks
Judy Brodkey
Shalom --
Sometimes we work hard, overcome obstacles and steadily move forward toward an important goal but it seems to elude us. Often we just need one final burst of energy, insight or determination to succeed. That's why I'm writing today. Jezierzany is a small shtetl, formerly in Galicia and now part of Ukraine. It's about 100 miles >from Lviv. It had a vibrant Jewish population with a rich history whose residents contributed in small and large ways to the betterment of their community and the world. For example, Moshe Shulbaum, one of its native sons, became a distinguished linguist who played a major role in the development of modern Hebrew as it is spoken in Israel today. We've almost reached our goal of ensuring that his story and Jezierzany's stories live on. We've been able to translate most of the Memorial (Yizkor) Book for Jezierzany & Surroundings into English. However, we are about $500 short of having enough money to translate the remaining pages, part of the section concerning the holocaust and what happened to Jezierzany's Jewish community during its final days. Please help us complete this important project! Your donation can be made at www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 Scroll down to Jezierzany and enter your donation amount there. JewishGen has numerous Yizkor Book funds so make sure you fill in the amount for Jezierzany. If you prefer, you can send a check to JewishGen, Edmond J. Safra Plaza, 36 Battery Place, New York, NY 10280. Be sure to indicate that this is a donation for the Jezierzany Memorial book. In order to ensure that your donation is correctly credited to the Jezierzany fund, please also let me know the amount of your contribution. The minimum allowable contribution is $10. In Every Generation, We Tell the Story In April we will celebrate Passover. Each year we are instructed to tell the story of our ancestors’ journey out of Egypt, lest we forget where we came >from and the lessons learned along the way. Our ancestors >from Jezierzany and other areas intentionally left their precious stories for us and our descendants; they deserve to be shared. If you have any questions, please contact me at Jlistbrod@aol.com. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Judy Brodkey Jlistbrod@aol.com Portland, Oregon USA

Shalom,
There seems to be some unwritten law that despite its shortness, February always seems to be one of the busiest times in the Yizkor Book Project and this last one, didn't disappoint. To begin with, I am more than very pleased to let you know that we have just completely translated and placed online, another Yizkor book. This time it is the "Czyzewo Memorial Book" covering the Czyzew-Osada, Poland community and considering that it entails 1190 columns of text (around 585 pages), this is definitely no mean feat. Our grateful thanks go out Jennifer Mohr who, >from the outset, has coordinated the translation of this book with great energy and dedication. Although the book is now completely translated, Jen is now arranging for an index to be prepared for the book which is always an invaluable additional tool that researchers can be good use of. Continuing on with the good news, I am pleased to let you know that the 80th book published by the Yizkor Books in Print Project has recently hit the shelves. The book, "The Jews of Kishinev" covering the lost Jewish community of Chisinau, Moldova has become a reality through the enthusiastic coordination of Yefim Kogan and the wonderful translations of volunteer, Sheli Fain, and of course, the YBIP team led by Joel Alpert. Our grateful thanks goes out to all those involved in the translation and publication of this book and for those interested in learning more about the other 79 books that have been published, please see the link to the YBIP project at the end of this report. Other good news. The New York Public Library has done wonders over the years to allow us ready online access to an enormous number of Yizkor books.

Andrew Zalewski JGSGM in Miami, March 10
#general
Jgsgm President <jgsgm.president@...>
Dear Friends,
Andrew Zalewski, Gesher Galicia board member and author, will be presenting GALICIAN PORTRAITS: THE STORY OF JEWS, GENTILES, AND EMPERORS to the Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Miami at the Greater Miami Jewish Federation (4199 Federal Highway, Miami FL) Sunday, March 10th at 11 A.M. Early bird visiting and sign in at 10:30 A.M. "The talk is of interest to audiences interested in Jewish genealogy and it is illustrated by historical pictures, unique archival documents, and old maps. Through genealogical findings discover the largest Jewish community in multiethnic Austri-Hungary. Andrew Zalewski, the author of two books on Austrian Galicia (1772-1918), explores the impact of the Habsburg rule on Galician Jews. The laws about marriages, surnames, schools, and military service brought a dizzying pace of changes but also controversies. Galicia's Jewish community--pious traditionalists and impatient reformers, laborers and professionals, dwellers of shtetls and cities--faced many choices. Passionate arguments easily erupted about what was to be their language (German, Hebrew, Yiddish, or Polish), customs, and loyalties. Local Jewish cultural "rebels"wrote biting satires and poetry. But even in difficult times, brave voices spoke loudly against prejudice." Please join us Sunday, March 10th at the Greater Miami Jewish Federation.

Yizkor Book Project, February 2019
#romania
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
There seems to be some unwritten law that despite its shortness, February always seems to be one of the busiest times in the Yizkor Book Project and this last one, didn't disappoint. To begin with, I am more than very pleased to let you know that we have just completely translated and placed online, another Yizkor book. This time it is the "Czyzewo Memorial Book" covering the Czyzew-Osada, Poland community and considering that it entails 1190 columns of text (around 585 pages), this is definitely no mean feat. Our grateful thanks go out Jennifer Mohr who, >from the outset, has coordinated the translation of this book with great energy and dedication. Although the book is now completely translated, Jen is now arranging for an index to be prepared for the book which is always an invaluable additional tool that researchers can be good use of. Continuing on with the good news, I am pleased to let you know that the 80th book published by the Yizkor Books in Print Project has recently hit the shelves. The book, "The Jews of Kishinev" covering the lost Jewish community of Chisinau, Moldova has become a reality through the enthusiastic coordination of Yefim Kogan and the wonderful translations of volunteer, Sheli Fain, and of course, the YBIP team led by Joel Alpert. Our grateful thanks goes out to all those involved in the translation and publication of this book and for those interested in learning more about the other 79 books that have been published, please see the link to the YBIP project at the end of this report. Other good news. The New York Public Library has done wonders over the years to allow us ready online access to an enormous number of Yizkor books. It has now gone an extra step further and provided the public with a very useful guide for viewing the online books and also has provided useful links to other online sites, including our very own Yizkor Book Project. In my humble opinion, a worthwhile site to bookmark: https://libguides.nypl.org/yizkorbooks As Purim is just around the corner, I would like to wish you dear readers and your families, a very enjoyable time over this upbeat holiday and wish you a Happy Purim and/or a Purim Sameach.
