Israeli Death Certificate
#general
Harold Greenberg <harold.greenberg@...>
I know something about this subject. In the past, I have had to get
Israeli death certificates >from the Ministry of the Interior in 4 cases - 2 for immediate family members and 2 for friends. Even if you have the Israel ID number - teudat zehut - I cannot see the Ministry of the Interior giving out a death certificate. Usually it is given to immediate family members - 2 weeks following the death. Is there anyone on this list who was able to obtain a death certificate months or years later? Without knowing the ID - teudat zehut of the deceased? How did you proceed? If I was living outside Israel, I would ask at the nearest Israeli Consulate about what to do. The death certificate is in Hebrew only. This may help - if someone dies outside a hospital, a Police report is required before burial. Also, permission for burial is required >from the Ministry of Health. So all deaths should be recorded in hospitals, or with the Police and with the Health Department.

Holidays in Latvia
#southafrica
Arlene Beare <arl@...>
Rabbi Glazman sent me this message. It is good to see that Jewish
life is alive and well in Latvia. I know that many of us are unobservant and that the Chabad message is not to everyone's liking but as I said they are doing a wonderful job in keeping Jewish traditions alive. Arlene Beare UK >from Rabbi Glazman- The busy month of holidays is now over and it is time to make a reckoning of all activities and accomplishments. The attractive Jewish calendar that was published and distributed includes information about holidays and other programs that will take place throughout the year. A special pamphlet with all the dates and times of prayers and celebrations in the Synagogue was sent mailed out and as a result, there was a marked difference in the service attendance this Tishrei. An informative booklet with detailed explanations and insights on the holidays was given out, as was, of course, the yearly candle lighting brochure. The first night of Rosh Hashanah, the Synagogue was full to capacity. The next day, many people came especially to hear Tkiat Shofar. Late afternoon, special programs for kids and adults were made for those who could not make it to the morning prayers. It ended with a spirited walk to the Daugava river for the traditional Tashlich. A beautiful holiday meal was arranged in Hotel Riga for the students and parents of Ohel Menachem Kindergarten and school. A separate evening for college students was also well attended. On Yom Kippur, the Synagogue was crowded for the Tfillot for Kol Nidrei and Neila. Machzorim were provided for all and the "Prayer Partner" system was a big help for those unfamiliar with the services. With the help of the JDC, Lulavim sets were made available for interested individuals and Jewish institutions in Riga and other cities in Latvia. The week of Succoth was a lively one here in Riga. Various parties and concerts were organized for groups of all ages. The Riga Klezmer band had people dancing to their lively music in the Synagogue on Sunday afternoon. The children of the kindergarten and school were happy to perform for their parents and the many guests who also visited the decorated Succah and enjoyed refreshments there. The joy was brought as far as Daugavpils with a portable Succah and an interesting program. What would holidays be without good food? Thank G-d, there has been a steady supply of kosher chickens in the Baltics, with the most recent Shchita of 5 ton of chicken before Rosh Hashanah. Two thousand liters of milk were imported >from France for those in the interested in Kosher milk products. The old-age Jewish tradition of "Upsherenish"(first haircutting at a boy's third birthday) was brought to public eye, when a triple ceremony took place last week. The three adorable boys with their long locks of hair impressed the guests with their knowledge of the Jewish Aleph Bet, Brochot and words of Torah. They licked honey off the holy letters and had candies thrown on them by the "angels", who also rejoiced in the new scholars' achievements. All the young guests joined in for a Torah dance while their parents looked on with pleasure. The boys were so proud of their brand new Tzitzit that they were finally able to don. The transformation was complete when each participant was called up to snip a piece of hair, leaving the payot as required by Jewish law. Wishing you a good "Chodesh" and a happy and healthy winter. Rabbi Mordechai Glazman

Salomon Manus BLOCH from Gailingen
#germany
Ruth und Thomas Bloch <ruthomas.bloch@...>
In the list of names given to the Jews in Gailingen (Germany) in the
year 1809 is mentioned a Salomon Manus BLOCH, age 72 with his wife Schaindel, age 60, together with children named Jakob (27), Borich (19), Elk (20) and Mayer (17). - Does anybody claim to be a descendant of this family? I will be very happy for any information which would help me to verify and confirm the link to my family. Thomas Bloch, Zurich, Switzerland ruthomas.bloch@bluewin.ch

Hi all, I am planning a business trip to Cape Town and was considering taking a day there to do some research while. I was hoping some of you might be able to tell me where I might go and what might be possible to achieve. My South Africa research is centered around my ggf, Harry Rubenstein, who emigrated >from Courland (Latvia) with his wife to Philadelphia USA in 1888. According to my family, Harry travelled several times >from Philadelphia to South Africa, apparently to work in the Orange Free State. Many in the family suspect he may have also had family there - which is not unlikely given the large number of Courlanders that came to Safrica. At any rate, will I be able to easily search arrival records for him and if so where and how would I approach this best? Are there any other records that might be worth checking as well?

Searching for SACHS and GRAETZ
#germany
Naomi Sachs-Amrami <n.sachsamrami@...>
Dear cousins,
I'm hoping that someone out there will recognize the names of my G-GF's brother, sister and nephew and perhaps what happened to them during / after WWII. My great-grandfather, Hans Gottschalk SACHS, born 1882 had a younger sister Lotte (born July 1886) and a younger brother Friedrich (born January 1889). All three were born in Berlin to Hermann and Bertha Emma (nee ZIRKER) SACHS. Lotte married Hugo GRAETZ, probably around 1905. They had a son, Gerd GRAETZ who would have been born sometime between 1906 - 1914 in Berlin. According to the Berlin tax authority, Lotte and Hugo emigrated to Czechoslovakia in 1933, and Hugo died there sometime between April and September 1934. According to cards on file at the ITS, Gerd emigrated to Cuba in 1933, and Lotte emigrated in 1934, presumably after Hugo passed away. >from there I have lost the trail. I have checked the Social Security Death Index, thinking that they may have emigrated to the US, as did many Germans - but so far to no avail. Gerd would be in his upper 90's if still alive today, and I am trying trying trying to find him or his descendants (assuming that he married and had children at some point) before the trail gets any colder than it already is. As for Friedrich SACHS, he is listed in the Berlin address book until 1938, at which point he disappears. Yad Vashem researched their files for me, and I have searched all the holocaust databases I can find, but without any luck. I firmly believe that he survived - and emigrated - but to where??? He was a licensed engineer, and ran a radio shop in Berlin at the end of the 30's. Do any of these people ring any bells with anyone out there? If so, or even if there is a remote possibility, please contact me directly. Thanks, Naomi Sachs-Amrami Los Angeles, California Researching: SACHS, GRAETZ, ZIRKER, SCHIMMELMANN (>from anywhere), SOMMERFELD, LONDON (>from Liegnitz), BOENHEIM, FRANKENSTEIN >from Berlin, Unruhstadt, Allenstein, and anywhere in Prussia, Posen or Silesia
