Name of Chaya
#ukraine

I've been reading the comments on Chaya with interest. My mother, Irene, is
also a Chaya. My mother had an aunt Ida who came to the US with the Hebrew name of Chaya. I am named Vivian and my Hebrew name is Chava. I and many other cousins (Eva, Evie, Evelyn, etc.) were named after the mother of Ida, my great grandmother named Eva or Chava. (Another GGG was an Eva also but her Hebrew equivalent was Chane). In reading the recent comments, it now seems that my mother and I have the same root Hebrew name relating to the English, "life." It may well be that the mother of my GGG might have also been a Chava and that my mother was named after her. We always thought that Chaya meant "animal" as my mother was often referred to in Yiddish as "vilda chaya" or "wild animal."

Return of Jews to the Western Europe
#general
Alexander Sharon
Dear Genners,
In our previous discussion with Roger Lustig, we have been trying to establish number of the Ashkenazim's that have returned to the West following Chmielnicki massacre in Ukraine in 1648. Unfortunately, there was known no me source available during our discussion as to the returning numbers, also as know that it was not small at all. As the dust of the discussion has settled down, I have found the source that actually confirms my observation that the number of Jews returning or repopulating West was large indeed. This source is Cecil Roth " Life of Mansseh ben Israel", London 1934. For the Genners, unfamiliar with Mannaseh ben Israel (1604-1657) - he was a distinguished Jewish scholar >from Amsterdam, born as "marrano" in Madeira and baptized as Manoel Dias Soeiro. His family after escape >from Spain have settled in Netherlands, where they have resumed their Jewish identity. Some of the Mannaseh works written for the Christian readers are known as the presentation of a favorable image of Judaism to the gentile world and winning the acceptance. Mananseh ben Israel has demonstrated that Christianity and Judaism had more in common than the most supposed, and he achieved a high reputation amongst the Christian fundamentalists. One can actually notice that the seeds planted by this great scholar were carried by the Protestants immigrating to the New World, and by today's supports of Israel and the Jewish cause by their offspring's. Even the consideration of using Hebrew as the instruction language in the earliest US universities demonstrates effectiveness of Menasseh ben Israel contribution. There is another aspect of Mannaseh enormous contribution to the Jewry- with his publications: "An Apology for the Honourable Nation of the Jews" written in 1648-9 and the "Hope of Israel" (1650), he has started campaign for readmission Jews to England that have been expelled >from the country in 1290. I'd like to point your attention that the both works by Manasseh and his petition to Cromwell for readmission Jews to England have taken place immediately after the massacres of Jews by the Cossacks. As the first refugees >from the 1648 massacres began to reach western Europe, Mannaseh and other Amsterdam Sephardim Jews feared the consequences for the community of a large influx of distressed Ashkenazim, since their own position in Holland was ambiguous Cecil Roth writes in his book that in Hamburg the arrival of large number of Ashkenazim led to the temporary expulsion of all Jews in 1649. I was not previously aware of the Hamburg's expulsion, and it certainly contributes to my earlier observations that the number of the Ashkenazi refugees >from the East has been large indeed. Ashkenazi refugees were admitted to England thanks to the Mannaseh campaign where their arrival arose discrimination amongst the members of the dominant Sephardi element still felt insecure and deplored any influx of poor Ashkenazim, especially if the community had to support them.

Dear Scand-genners!
I have noticed that many have subscribed to this list recently and I want to welcome all! However, very few *USE* this list: ---------------------------------- 1. Very few write about their research or ask for information 2. Almost none of the new subscribers write and introductory message about the names and places they are researching. In that way we are all sitting in a little hole without a view to the greater world or research. If we want to help each other and/or get in contact with others who are researching the same areas or names we *must* communicate. I have seen subscribers come and go without ever writing one single message. And when I have contacted them some say that there is no point in being subscribed to list where there is nothing going on - that can't help them! I know very well that the situation is different in some other (large) mailing lists where there are several messages each day, so you can just lean back and learn a lot >from just reading what others write. But that is not the case when subscribed to small mailing lists (or rather mailing lists for small areas). Another thing: Even though you might have sent your "Intro" when you subscribed, you should re-send it at intervals, because some unsubscribe and new subscribers join the list. And very few use the archive to see if anything has been written there of interest.

Searching for Esther Shapiro Rafaeli, Author
#rabbinic

I am looking for a way I could contact Esther Shapiro Rafaeli,
author of a book on Rabbi Yehoshua Yitzhak "Eisel Harif" SHAPIRA called "A Modest Genius." R. SHAPIRA lived his life in the early to mid-19th century in what was then Lithuania (Gluobokie and Slonim, primarily). She (Ms. Rafaeli) is a descendant of the rabbi. I am looking for her so that perhaps she could clarify the relationship between SHAPIRA and R. Jehiel HEILPERIN, author of Seder Hadorot. I have seen this on a tree available on "Family Tree of the Jewish People," but since I have not heard back >from the submitter of the material to FTJP, I have no way of knowing how reliable this information is without clarification >from people who are more familiar with primary source material. I assume either Ms. Shapiro Rafaeli or a close cousin submitted the material, since they are the only line on the tree that extends >from the 17th century to the present day. I would appreciate it if you would contact me privately with any information on Esther Rafaeli or on how I might contact her. I know she might be quite elderly, since her husband passed away at age 89 some years ago. Thank you. Steve Bloom [MODERATOR'S NOTE: Please respond privately.]

Simon Frankel Or Simon Faikes-How do I determine who he was
#general
sacredsisters3@aol.com <sacredsisters3@...>
Hello All
I have been researching the FAIKES surname of my grandfather to try and find out more information on his family. I have found bits and pieces over the years, and talking to cousins has helped fill in a little as well, but there is still a mystery to be solved. I have yet to uncover the names of all my grandfather's siblings and what befell them. My gradnafther Milton was the youngest born about 1913 in Brest. I know he had a sister Rose Friedman who died in Brooklyn in 1998 or 2000, and his mother Reva died in Brooklyn in 1944. I have found out through a cousin that she was a second wife and that also confirms why there is such an age gap when it comes to the siblings. Last year I had tracked down a sibling named Jennie who married a Joseph Frankel. I knew there had to be some connection with that family other then the marriage, because they helped bring more family over before and after their marriage. I then found out >from my cousin that the father of Joseph who was Simon Frankel was really a Faikes. It got me very confused. Because I have found all their passenger manifests and he is already listed as a Frankel. I have heard of names being changed when they came to America, but not before hand. So I decided to order Simon Frankel's death record of 1943, which unfortunately reveals nothing and states that his fathers is a Frankel, which neither proves or disproves that he was a Faikes. The informant which was his son most likely did not know, so thats the information that was given. I also have Simon Frankel's naturalization papers and they don't give any clues either. However I did come across a 1910 passenger manifest for a Esther Grubarg, that states she was going to her brother Simon Frankel in Philadelphia. Now, I would love to know someone else's thoughts on this, because to me Faikes & Frankel are two entirely different names. None of the other siblings changed their name to Frankel, so why him. Also on Simon's death record they have him born in 1877 which is wrong, for he was born about 1865. I guess none of the family knew how old he was. I find that a lot since i have doing my family over the years, that the immediate family never knew how old these people were and of course the ancestors themselves were not going to reveal their true age so the family would guess at an age and thats what gets put on the record. This of course makes it very difficult for all of us out their seeking the truth to our lineage. Sarah Greenberg(USA-CT) sacredsisters3@aol.com
