For my Alperovich relatives, I want to pay a tribute to our recently deceased relative and my second cousin, Jacob (Yaakov) Ancelevicz of Sao Paul, Brazil. I was able to visit Jacob and his wife Scarlet in 2013, including meeting for the first time his brother, Mordechai and his wife and Jacob's niece, Rachel, and her mother, Tania. I unfortunately never knew Rachel's father, Yoav, who passed away in 2001. Jacob's father, Reuven, was the son of my great aunt (my grandfather's oldest sister), Batia  Alperovich of Kurenets and later Smorgon when she married Mordechai Ancelevicz. (.) Born in Hadera, Israel, this branch of the Ancelevicz family moved to Sao Paulo in the late 50's/early 60's to find economic opportunity after leaving Israel for London. My genealogy research has led me to reconnect with our Alperovich cousins and I am so glad I have. Jacob was an extremely gracious host and showed me many parts of the city and some of its very fine restaurants. He was for many years an esteemed professor of finance at a major university in Sao Paulo and also owned a leather design company in his later years. I will cherish the short, wonderful time we spent together and send my condolences and deepest sympathy to his entire extended family.

When I visited Belarus in 2005 we passed by Rechke very near Kurenets and Vileyka 
(Kurenets and Vileyka are 7 kilometers from each other) I would say that Rechke is about the same distant.
Here are some old information I have 
I talked with 92 years old Aharon Meirovitz, the editor of the Kurenitz 
Yizkor book. In 1928 he was a teacher in Rechki, there were only about 
ten Jewish families in Rechki at that point.
http://eilatgordinlevitan.com/kurenets/k_pages/stories_n_alperovich.html
Nachum Alperovich: "Chapters from the Underground";
"..During the winter, we would go to Ratzke to sled. Ratzke was a tiny 
town, it was probably named after the river that was on her border and
she was most famous for her hills, to us, they looked like mountains 
and we called them the Ratzkelberg.".

I also talked with Dora/Dvora in Nes Ziona, Israel, who was born in 
Rechke (Dvora parents: father - Tzvi Rabinovich, Mother - Hana Sara 
Gordon, Step-Mother from the Fidler family of Kurenitz ) she went to 
school in Kurenitz for 3 years. for the upper grade all the children 
went to schools in Kurenitz or Vileyka.
I will try to find information about the other places....Eilat
?Dvora unfortunately passed away. My father Chaim Meir Chodosh had an Estate in ORPA called ORPER HOF. The Estate had a soup kitchen for the poor and a cheder. Dvora was a HEBREW teacher in my father's cheder in ORPA. ORPA was named by my great grandfather Dr.Rabbi Mordechai Chodosh who came FROM France with Napoleon as a doctor. Jews could not own laqnd so a Poritz- a nobleman wanted a doctor nearby and as a legal fiction he gave Dr..MORDECHAI cHODOSH THE ESTATE WHICH THE FAMILY EXPANDED AND DEVELOPED. tHEY HAD OVER 15 DISNTINES OF LAND. One disintine is over 2,700. acres..... THE PONEY EXPRESS WAS QUARTERED THERE FOR THE GOVERNMENT. ORPA is still on the map. He named it after Naomi's daughter in law in the BIBLE. Orpa is the daughter in law who went back to her people while Ruth stayed with her mother in law Naomi. HE NAMED IT ORPA IN THE HOPES OF EVENTUALLY RETURNING HOME.I would like to know more about Orpa and who lived there- how many JEWS. tHE eSTATE HAD VARIOUS ORCHARDS OF CHERRY,APPLE, AND PEARS, A SAW MILL, A WATER MILL, A LOGGING CAMP, THEY MADE FABRICS,HAD A DAIRY, A MEAT PROCESSING PLANT, A PHARMACY. It was self-sustaining. My great grandfather was a founder of Borisov hospital.
My father,Chaim Meir Chodosh was asked by the PARTISANS to blow up an ammunition supply  train carrying ammunition to the concentration camps.Chaim Meir Chodosh knew the topography of the land like the back of his hand. He was the only one able to do it. They had to be led through the forests- there was STARINKER VALD., and MICHNITZER VALD.
THEY WANTED TO GIVE MY FATHER THE HERO OF THE SOVIET UNION AWARD FOR HIS HEROISM,. but he felt that it was no lnger a place to raise a JEWISH CHILD. HE WAS EITHER IN THE BOLSHEVIK BRIGADE OR VOROSHILO'S. I KOW THAT HE SERVED IN THE PARTISANS UNDER MIRONOVITCH. DO YOU KNOW THE NAME OF THAT ATRAD. ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME WOULD BE GREAT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INCREDIBLE RESEARCH. MAY HASHEM GIVE YOU GOOD HEALTH AND LONG LIFE TO CONTINUE. ALL THE BEST,
JUDITH CHODOSH GOLDMAN

Thank you SO MUCH for your reply. Do you know the name of the Partisan group he headed? My father was his right hand man. Luba Mironovich was not Jewish. Someone once told us that she is in Chicago. Is there an address for them/ Is he still alive? Have a wonderful Shabbos. Sincerely, Judith Chodosh Goldman

My mom was also Luba, and the two were friends. I was an infant in the forest, and sometimes she would try to hold me on her horse, to give my mother a reprieve, but I only wanted my mother, a"h. My father was sent on missions for the partisans, blowing up trains with ammunition going to the concentration camps, bridges etc. He was given a commendation by Mironovich. Luba Mironovich was not Jewish. Are they still alive. Last we heard is that the wife was in Chicago. Is he still alive". Judy

Summer of 1924, Kurenets. The teacher on the left (second line) is Berl Dardak, on the right (second line) is his brother Shmerl Dardak
From the Russian Jewish Encyclopedia;
DARDAK Ieguda born 1898 Iliya, Vilna ? Author

One day, after studies, the teacher Berl Dardak announced that a letter was received from Vilna and it said, “Charut Hetria will establish branches in the ...
---------------
Israel Gvint wrote;
...For a short time there was a school with one or two classes that was managed by Yudel Dardak, where the studies were done in a combination of Yiddish, Hebrew and Russian. More wonderful memories of the great personality of Yudel Dardak stay with me than memories of the lessons.....At that point there was still a quiet war between the Hebrew and Yiddish as to what language should dominate school studies. If the Hebrew won this war it was because of the special personality of the teacher Berl Dardak.
At this point, the image of the teacher Berl comes to me. Berl came from the near-by little town of Ilya. He was short, a red head, and wore glasses. He was very easy going and kind. Even when he would get mad it was easy to imagine that he was not really angry. We knew that he wrote poetry in Hebrew, and that made him very respected in our eyes. Some of the poems became songs and they were sung by the youth from the “Tzeirey Zion”, and “Herut VeTchia”. In their essence they were humorous poems and this was very attractive to us, the young children. Although we knew that these poems were not written for children, and truly we were not allowed to sing them, but somehow we learned them secretly and they were as sweet to us stolen water.
We knew that Berl and his brothers Shmaryau and Yudel Dardak were the descendents of a well-known rabbinical family from Illya. We also knew that they had a deep education in yeshivas and were very knowledgeable about the Bible and religious studies. This fact added to the respect we felt for them because now when we had to argue with people who were old fashioned and wanted to keep the traditional type of education which was essentially religious in nature, we could argue with them that our teacher was not a nobody, he was a telmid khakham . “You must be careful when you speak against him.”
When Berl would get mad at one of us he would use biblical sentences to express his dissatisfaction. He would say, “ben naout vemrdut”. In the essence of this sentence there was everything we desired, here was a religious language turning to a “real language” where biblical passages contained emotion. Passages from the Bible became material for common phrases of reproach. At that point we had no schoolbooks in Hebrew and Berl would write his lessons on the blackboard and we would copy what he wrote in our notebooks.
Berl lived in a tiny, dark room of Shmuel Spector. In his room there was an oil lamp that burned day and night as an eternal flame. Clearly our hearts were pulled to this room which became inseparable from the school. Here many youths would gather. We sang songs and told jokes and from there we would leave for walks in Vileyka and Dolhinov streets in Kurenets. I remember one journey that some older kids took all the way to the village Retzke and of how jealous I was of my peers that followed the older students there.
Having the school in two homes so far from each other made it very difficult. After a short time they rented a home of Eltka Nee Perski Rabunski (ed. the sister of the father of Shimon Peres). This was a comparatively big house. It had three rooms, a hallway and a large yard to play in. During the holiday of Purim, just before the school was transferred to this place, we held a play there. It was King David. The play was written by Berl Dardek, who was also the director and was responsible for the clothing the scenery. The walls were taken out and the space became one big room. Still the room was too small to hold all the people who wanted to attend. When I arrived with my father, and I was one of the actors in this play, many people stood by the door looking in and all the other actors watched so that more people wouldn't try to come in. Even Batya nee Gurevitz who had the main part as Batsheva took a turn watching the entrance. My father and I could hardly make our way through the people. My father somehow succeeded in getting in and I stayed behind among the people. Since there were so many people the girl who played Batsheva (Batia nee Gurevitz Bender) couldn't see me despite the fact that I was supposed to be her son in the play, I was King Solomon. Finally my father came to my aid and picked me out of the crowd. Besides the play we recited poems in Hebrew and Yiddish and it was a big success and many of the parents in town were so impressed that they began accepting the idea of a more secular education.

HELLO! GREAT WORK! I AM YISROEL DARDAK GRANDSON OF SHMERL DARDAK FROM ILYA BELARUS. I FINALLY FOUND OUT A LITTLE OF MY HISTORY FROM THE KURENETS BELARUS ARTICLES - PAGES 108-11, 90-91, 116-117. I AM WONDERING IF YOU COULD HELP ME FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO MY GRANDFATHERS TWO BROTHERS BERL AND YUDEL, WHO WERE TEACHERS IN THE TARBUT SCHOOL IN KURENETS, I KNOW THAT BERL DIED IN 1935, BUT I HAVE NO IDEA HOW, AND HE WAS YOUNG, ALSO YUDEL DIED AROUND THAT TIME AND HE TOO WAS YOUNG. ALSO, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE THEY ARE BURIED? I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU COULD GIVE ME IN THIS MATTER. THANX A LOT!

The program can be heard @ http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00vc51h

Here begins an extraordinary journey to Lithuania and Belarus for
broadcaster and writer Michael Freedland and his son, Guardian
journalist and best-selling author, Jonathan.

These two countries once thronged with Jewish life, a life that was
all but extinguished by successive regimes- Russian Czarists, Soviets
and then the Nazis who, with the help of some Lithuanians, managed to
totally decimate many towns and villages, or shtetls. Knowing that
their forebears settled in the UK in the late 19th century they set
off to try to find any trace of the Freedlands who came from Baisogala
in Lithuania and the Mindels from Dunilovichy in Belarus. As the
journey progresses, it becomes a broader search- a search for Jewish
life. They are taken to Janova and Kedainiai, both once busy shtetls,
alive with Jewish businesses, shops and culture. Sadly in such places
where there was once a high proportion of Jews, few now remain and
synagogues have disappeared or fallen into disrepair.

In Kaunas, an interview with Professor Egidius Aleksandrovicius lays
out the entire history of Jewry in Lithuania. In Vilnius, the family
focus is re-established as they visit the National Archives where they
learn a lot about the Freedlands and the Mindels, discovering
crumbling nineteenth century archives that refer to what could be
Michael's ancestors. The trail now points clearly to Baisogala, what
was once a tiny shtetl in the Lithuanian countryside. Simon the guide
knows of a Jewish cemetery on the outskirts, but it's a cemetery he
hasn't seen for ten years, as it's been flooded for a reservoir, but
by an amazing stroke of luck, the team tries a wooded hillside
and...there it is, remnants of old and mostly illegible Jewish tombs,
where, no doubt, Michael and Jonathan's ancestors are buried."

I have just read with great interest, the article on the Rosenbaum School in New Haven, CT. My parents had a dear friend during their years at Yale, 1942-46, named Dave Rosenbaum and I believe he is the son of the founders. I have a collection of letters which my mother wrote to her mother and Dave is often mentioned as "teaching at his father's school". The letters also contain a little information about his parents' backgrounds.

If Dave is still living, I would very much like to contact him and share these letters. If you can offer me any insight as to whether or not he might still be living and if so, where, i would be most appreciative.
Thank you so much for your consideration.

Dear Eilat;
I hope this finds you well.
We have exchanged emails before.

I am the daughter of Devorah Sosensky from Kurenetz.
I am trying to find out my mother's home address and don't know how to
proceed. My grandmother's name was Frumeh Sosensky. Her husband,
Shlomo, had a general store in Kurenetz. My friend found a listing of
this store in the Jewish Gen website (it was in the Wileykeh
directory, which I guess is pretty close by).

Can you give me any guidance on how to get a street address for the
home and business?
Any info would be deeply appreciated.
Many thanks,
Sharon

Catholics from Kuranets obtained a building for local chapel
Kuranets news: Tuesday, 29 May 2012 09:26

Before the celebration of Pentecost the Catholics from the village Kuranets (Vileyskyi region) obtained into the ownership the building with the right to establish the chapel in there. This building was used previously as the administration office of the collective farm. But this place has more interesting facts: there was the wooden church, and some elderly men remember this. After the war the church was ruined, and the foundation was developed into the village office.
On the 26th of October, 2007, there was registered the parish after Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of Church at the village Kuranets, and on the 26th of September, 2011, father Aleksander Barylo was appointed as the parish administrator.
On the 28th of May, 2012, the Catholics from v. Kuranets gathered together at this building to celebrate the day of Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of Church. Holy mass began with the hymn Te Deum, thus expressing the feeling of deep gratitude to Lord for His blessings and for His justice concerning the return of the church.
The liturgy was served with the intent for all the believers of Kuranets, who stayed committed to God and Church, and for those who need the conversion. During the prayer they reminded all these people who wanted to wait for this event, but passed away to Lord.
The Catholics from Kuranets were glad to the fact that they now have the place for prayer and where they can come every Sunday and glorify Lord at Holy masses.

I am writing to you from Bet El Synagogue in Mexico. I am the editor
of our Magazine and for our Passover (Pesaj) issue, we have an article
about Hashomer Hatzair's 100th anniversary. I found on your web page a
beautiful photo of the youth group in 1929 and am wondering if we may
print it in our magazine. It is of course a communitary magazine and
not sold. We will of course print all the copyright and references to

Kurenets.

Thank you so much for your extraordinary work on Kurenitz!  So impressive!

I'm doing some research on behalf of a friend's family, and I've come across a 1902 New York marriage certificate that shows the ceremony was performed by "Elias Gordon, Cantor of Con. Kehal Chasidim anche Kurenitz."  I'm hoping it might help lead to further clues.

I'm guessing that one family or the other were perhaps members and from Kurenitz, but I'm having trouble finding specific leads or confirmation through JewishGen and other websites.  Might you please have any advice or suggestions as to further steps I can take to find more?

The groom was Julius Cohen (parents: Joe Cohen, Marrey Alpertt) and the bride was Marry (AKA Miriam) Meltzer (parents: Hayman/Chaim Meltzer, Etta Alperovitz).  
It's signed by Elias Gordon and witnessed by Meyer Rotstein & Morris Roleinsky.  Spelling is a bit iffy throughout the document.

I've also been researching the name Krotin, which often seems to show up as Gordin/Gordon and other variations, in case you happen to have any good clues on that front.

Please --- if you post any of this email anywhere -- kindly remove my address as I try to keep it as private as possible.

Much appreciation, 
Cynthia
Dear Cynthia,

All the names are familiar and some are surly from the Kurenets area. All Alperovitz ( changed to Alpert in the US) originated in Kurenets. Almost half of the shtetle took that last name when Jews were forced to take a last name in the Russian empire ( c 1815) in order  pay taxes and serve in the czar army. That way (having same last name) they were able to confuse the Russians. There was also a very respected Meltzer family in Kurenets ( related to the mother of Shimon Peres from near by Vishnevo and Volozhin)
Some members of the Rotstein family of Kurenets survived the holocaust and came to Israel. There was also a Cohen family from Kurenets who came to America, a son got in touch with me.
Just a fast note - I will try to study the first names and see if I can connect them.

I am assuming that the other is either his brother Shimon Zimmerman or his sister Sophie Zimmerman, both of whom I understand to have been lost in the Holocaust.

If you have a relative who lived and passed away in Israel ( especially if he/ she lived in a kibbutz or a Moshav, and you know the name of it) google his name and the name of the place in Hebrew. You could use http://www.mechon-mamre.org/searchgh.htm for Hebrew text.
After you write the name in Hebrew copy and paste in "google" and search.
I want to share one story about distant relatives which I have been looking for for 15 years.
I created sites for shtetles and cities in Eastern Europe. The other day I received a note on my facebook page from Aviram Dunsky in Israel who recognized his grandfather in a picture I posted on the site which I created for Kurenets. It was a picture of the first meeting (1946) of survivors with their shtetle's landsmen who made Aliyah to Israel/ Palestine from Kurenets before the war.
He did not write me the name of his grandfather. I checked on Geni for him and found out that the father of his mother was Ze'ev Shulman. My grandmother was the daughter of Aharon Shulman HY"D from Kurenets. I have been searching for a long time for a very distant relative who my mother ( born in Gan Haim in 1929) remembered as Dov Shulman (or as she recalled from her early childhood the "fat shulman" sorry) . The only reason that she recalled his name was that she had a picture of his son (who she said was Menachem Shulman some years younger then her) in her album.
I immediately wrote to Aviram on facebook and asked if he is related to Dov. It turned out that Dov Shulman was the brother of his grandfather and his grandfather lived and died in Gan Haim where my mother was born. 
Dov Shulman, the brother of his grandfather, lived in Tzofit , he wrote. He wanted to know if I know anything else about his family. 
I googled "Dov Shulman Tsofit"
I found  http://tsofit.org.il/wxt/ It has his picture ( he does not look fat!) It has the names of his parents ( Mendel  and Batia Shulman) , the name of his wife, The place (Kurenets) and year (1908)  he was born and 1979 as the year he passed away in Tsofit. He had a son and a daughter. He had two brothers and a sister.
I googled the name of his father with Gan Haim
It took me to a site with picasa pictures of Headstones of the cemetery in Tsofit;
https://picasaweb.google.com/102010924643542648889/YiBuGC#5776058681683857986
I found the name of Mendel's father and other information. I also found pictures of the gravestones of his wife, sons and daughters in law.
The one thing I was not able to conferm is the name Menachem Shulman as the son of Dov. The headstone of Dov's father; Menachem Mendel says that he passed away in 1941. Could a son be named after a live grandfather? I have asked Aviram and the woman who is pictured with "Menachem Shulman" (per my mother) They do not seem to know the answer. Does anyone recognize the boy in the picture?

Subject: Families Malman and Laner from Kovna

Hello Everyone!
I am researching these two families from Kovna who arrived in England 1870 +.
Ada Laner (aka Lerner, Lion, Lolman, Jacobs) was brought to London by her father after the death of her mother, to be bought up with her elder sisters, Rachel and possibly Leah. Rachel's two children, Dora and Raphael Morris (father Samuel Morris) are staying with a Joseph Malman and family in 1901. The Malmans emigrated to New York but I can find no further information relating to the Morris family.
If anyone has any leads for me, I would be so grateful. Thank you.

Father; Elhanan (Hune) Kagan, his father: Eliyahu. My father was born in Kurenitz Poland (today Belorussia) in 1916. He was married to Rivka Levitan from Dukshitz (neighbour village in Poland (today Belorussia)

My father's sister :Hana (Hanabashe) immigrated to the US on late 1967 with her daughter Micha (Michle) and 3 children: David, Eliyahu and...
I look for any details from them. Thanks

Hello Eilat. 

I came across a riveting profile on the Lubavitcher Kramers. I believe they were in Boro Park. There is a tremendous entry on them in "The history of the Jews of Brooklyn"

Dear Eilat,

The Jewish Partisan Educational Foundation is updating our website and we'd like to update our photo gallery with higher resolution copies of the certain photos which, our records indicate, your organization has kindly provided in the past.

Could you please send us 1000 pixel or wider versions of the following images (also attached)? Thank you very much.

Hello,

lately I found among my father's pictures the picture of this man

The name attached is: Baruch Markman Kurenets 

Can you give me more information about him?

My father's name was Jeshua Burg (or Borg) and he was born in Tishovitz, Poland

Thank you for any help,
Ruth Weinstein, Israel
Dear Ruth, 
Many years ago (1990s) I spoke to a holocaust survivor from the area of Kurenets. She told me about other holocaust survivors, such as Sonya (nee Dimenstein from Dolhinov and her husband Baruch Markman from Kurenets, who now live in New Haven
Benjamin Baruch Markman 
Gender:
Male
Birth:
May 5, 1917 
Kurenets, Belarus
Death:
September 8, 2002 (85) 
New Haven, New Haven County, Connecticut, United States
Immediate Family:
Son of zeev Volf Markman 
Husband of Sonia markman 
Father of Wesley Markman and Frances Goldstein 

I want to share a story about DNA connection with unknown relatives which I should have realized months before who they are. I noticed a third cousin predicted DNA connection with a Morris Reich and his son Steven (1.89% and 1.68%) . On the list of last names they shared with me Horowitz/ Gurevitz (Mordechi Gurevich, my maternal grandfather"s last name which is a common name) I wrote to the father with my details and he never replied. I compared the 2 to my brother's DNA and he shared little with them. I decided that it is an Endogamy case and gave up. Months later a second cousin of mine (Sharon nee Herbert took the DNA test (her grandmother Sima was a sister of my Horowitz/ Gurevitz grandfather Meir Gurevich) When comparing matches with her I noticed the Reich father and son had slightly above 2.0% with her. I wrote her that we should investigate it because it looks like a good match. I wrote to the son and got a reply that it must be his grandmother who is Horovitz/ Gurevitz. Shortly After Chaim Herbert, the father of my second cousin, got his results and he was above 3% match to the father. I knew that I must solve it. I looked again at their information. Do I know of any Reich beside the well known politician Robert Reich and the well known modern musician Steven Reich? ( my match posted 1990 as the year he was born so he was much to young) ....Yes, it came to me; Chaia Esther Reich, a holocaust survivor who was my grandfather's first cousin. 20 years ago I spoke with her many times about our family in Kurenets. I even have her profile on Geni with her son's and grandson's correct names. Now we are connected by email and I shared the Geni tree and more. Why did it take me months?  I assumed that I will never know the connection because 1. My brother had Just a tiny match with his second cousin once removed and even smaller match with his 3rd. cousin. 2. I sent clear information to the father and he did not replay. Reading it for one second would have make it clear to him that we are related via Kurenets and Gurevich the birth place and the birth name of his mother.  http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kurenets/kur020.html
Rabbi Yakov Landau, Av Beit Din of B'nei B'rak Israel, Former Rabbi of Kurenets wrote about the family;
"Reb Mordechai Horwitz Gurevich was known in town as Mordechai Frada's (his wife was Frada daughter of Yehuda (ben Meir) Alperovich). He was the son of a Hasidic Jew Zalman Uri Gurevich who visited Tzemach Tzedek and the name of his father was Avraham Elia. By the order of Tzemach Tzedek he became a shohet. Even in his last days (ca. 1920) he served as a shohet in a community near Kurenets. His eldest son was also a shohet. His name was Chaim Israel Gurevich (perished in the holocaust in Kurenets). His son Mordechai, on the other hand, had a business selling iron but his soul burnt with the holy fire. In the middle of market day when his store would be filled with Christian buyers, he would leave the store and run to pray with the community in the synagogue. Every evening he would come to our minyan to study.
When Reb Mordechai Gurevich was young he went to study in the town of Labadowa, and was very influenced by Levik Labadower, who was very pure. He made a few visits with his friends at that time to the Koidanov Rebbe, but when he became middle aged, he turned to Lubavitch Hasidut and became a very devout Lubavitcher. He would pray for a long time on the Sabbath, finishing a long time after the rest of the community. A few times he went to the Admor of Lubavitch even when he was living in Rostov on the River Don. In his older years he was blessed to go to Eretz Israel. This took place about 20 years ago (ca. 1933). He settled in B'nei Brak, and after his wife Freda passed away, he moved to a kibbutz near Petah Tikva (Givat Hashlosha) and lived next to his daughter Batia Bender. Every day he would walk to Petah Tikva to study Gemara together with the Rabbi and a few of his friends. He studied the Mishna intensely, and his deepest desire was to learn all the Mishna 101 times. I am sure that he achieved his goal since he was constantly reciting the Mishna. About two years ago (ca. 1952), he passed away.
