Hello,
Date of the Azkara is approaching.
I am no longer involved in its organization which is handled by the very capable Rabbi Zelig Horowitz.
He can be contacted via
*******
If anyone is interested, I recently updated a Bonyhad website, which I have been editing for the last few years.
New and updated information is marked by a graphic NEW sign.
Among the new items are:
- basic interactive website enabling viewing all gravestones and memorial signs in the Orthodox cemetery as of April 2024
- a more comprehensive website showing on an aerial photo where each grave is located. If basic details on gravestones will be typed by volunteers into a suitable computer file it will be possible to search for gravestones by name and possibly other details, such as death anniversary. Search would show the associated gravestones' exact or approximate location on the aerial photo. Unfortunately text on many of the gravestones is no longer readable.
This project was handled by Mrs. Chava Rivka Giavarini (nee Illes Eva). Anyone interested in helping to transcribe material from the gravestones should consult her via illes.eva7@gmail.com. Possibly Rabbi Pesach Singer in Jerusalem is transcribing information. - interactive website showing on the Bonyhad map location of Jewish residences and other Jewish facilities as of early 1944 and also recent interactive image of the a location's vicinity via Google Maps. It is possible to search for people etc. by partial or full name and partial or full address (using current street names)
There is a HELP button on the above 3 sites. If pressed, a webpage is shown explaining how to use the associated website.
Link to the above webpages is in the above mentionad bonyhad website http://eproceeding.awardspace.info/bonyhad
Best Wishes,
Larry Pfeffer
Jerusalem
