Hi, can you point me to the original text of Bella Adler, provided here in translation: https://keidaner.com/243in-the-russian-exile/ ?
She was my grandmother-in-law and I would really like to track down the original! Thank you.
The original (in Hebrew) appears on p. 243 of the Yizkor book: “קיידאן: ספר זכרון”, published in 1977. A reprint copy can be purchased from the National Yiddish Book Center in Massachusetts. Please let me know if you’d like any additional information. All best,
AC
Hi on the piece on Dayan Menachem Yosef Volk, you have spelt his surname Volp. What is the source please for the names of his daughters listed?
Thanks
Yaakov, I’m not finding the article you mention. Please be more specific, or email me directly and I’ll try to help.
Hi Andrew.
Thanks for your reply. The piece I was referring to is in the link below
https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Volkovysk1/vol023.html
Thanks
Yaakov
Yaakov,
That article is on JewishGen, not my site. I didn’t post it, and don’t know where it came from. So the name you say is misspelled isn’t something I can address. Suggest you contact the Yizkor Book director shown at the bottom of that page.
Thanks Andrew. Noted.
If you could please help with my other query on Rabbi Pinchas ben Rabbi Eliezer d. 1730 who was Rabbi in Keidan.
I am seeking any further information or sources.
Thanks
Yaakov
Yaakov, I’m sorry; I have nothing additional to the brief bio in the “Rabbis in Keidan” article. Good luck.
