  • Lyakhovichi Was a Small Jewish Shtetl in Eastern Europe Ruled by Four Different Nations Over the Years
    Lyakhovichi, Home to our Busel Ancestors Judy Duchan February 29, 2016 Lyakhovichi was a small Jewish shtetl in Eastern Europe ruled by four different nations over the years. The town still exists, but it is no longer a Jewish shtetl. In its earliest days it was part of the Lithuania. Later, in 1772, because of various agreements and partitions among Eastern and Central European countries it was part of Poland. Then in 1795, when Poland was partitioned once again, it became part of Russia. During the Second World War the Jews of the town either left or were killed. The very latest geographic change for Lyakhovichi took place in 1991 when Belarussians declared themselves a free country, separate from the Soviet Union. Lyakhovichi then became part of Belarus, as it is today. These historic changes of Lyakhovichi’s are apparent when googling Lyakhovichi. The town shows up under various names and spellings: Lyakhovichi (Russian and Bellorussian), Lachowicze (Lithuanian and Polish), or Lechowitz (Yiddish). As it was in the day of our grandmother, Lyakhovichi is located on the route between the larger cities of Minsk and Pinsk, and even larger cities Warsaw and Moscow. Because of its strategic location it has played an outsized role throughout its history. Napoleon went through Lyachovichi on his way to Moscow in 1812, and during World War I it was the scene of heavy fighting between Russia and Germany. Here is an account its World War I role: 1915. The Germans are invading Russia. Every day there continues through Lechowitz a stream of covered wagons.

  • BELARUS: from Raid to Ban in 12 Days
    FORUM 18 NEWS SERVICE, Oslo, Norway http://www.forum18.org/ The right to believe, to worship and witness The right to change one's belief or religion The right to join together and express one's belief 15 June 2015 BELARUS: From raid to ban in 12 days By Felix Corley, Forum 18 News Service On 31 May police in Belarus with OMON riot police raided the Reformed Orthodox Transfiguration Church's meeting for Sunday worship, held in rented premises in Gomel. On 11 June officials banned the Church from renting premises, therefore banning it from meeting, church members told Forum 18 News Service. Police asked them: "Why do you attend this church and not a normal one?" Officials warned congregation leader Pastor Sergei Nikolaenko - who is already facing trial on Administrative Code charges - that he would be investigated on possible Criminal Code charges. "You can watch a football match or discuss [the poet Aleksandr] Pushkin without permission, but for a religious meeting you need permission", Dmitry Chumakov, the official in charge of religious affairs at Gomel Regional Executive Committee told Forum 18. Two weeks earlier there was a similar armed police raid on the Soligorsk congregation of Council of Churches Baptists. "11 more armed police arrived and broke up the service, as if they were coming after bandits", Forum 18 was told. Two congregation members were fined in early June for meeting for worship without state permission. On 31 May police in Belarus with OMON riot police raided the Reformed Orthodox Transfiguration Church's meeting for Sunday worship, held in rented premises in Gomel [Homyel] in the south east of the country.

Sustainable Development is usually viewed through a lens of three core elements: economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection. But it’s important to remember that these are not just categories or boxes: they are connected and have aspects in common. To develop this approach a step further, two critical dimensions that will drive Agenda 2030 were adopted by member states: partnership and peace. Partnerships strengthen the capacities of all stakeholders to work together. Peace, justice and strong institutions are essential for improvements in the three core areas. Genuine sustainability sits at the center and it would be important to consider each of the SDGs through the lens of these five dimensions.

  • Parish to "Lose Nothing" When Veteran Priest Expelled?
    FORUM 18 NEWS SERVICE, Oslo, Norway http://www.forum18.org/ The right to believe, to worship and witness The right to change one's belief or religion The right to join together and express one's belief This article was published by F18News on: 7 December 2007 BELARUS: Parish to "lose nothing" when veteran priest expelled? By Geraldine Fagan, Forum 18 News Service <http://www.forum18.org> A religious affairs official in the south-eastern region of Gomel is dismissive of the rights of the parishioners of Holy Trinity Catholic Church in the town of Rechytsa. He claimed to Forum 18 News Service that they will "lose nothing" when their veteran parish priest, Polish citizen Fr Grzegorz Chudek, is forced to leave Belarus. The priest was ordered to leave by 1 December, but his visa has now been extended by two months. During this period he is "of course" not permitted to work in his parish, the official said. He repeatedly refused to tell Forum 18 how Fr Chudek had broken the law. "No one has told me if or when he might have to leave, let alone why," Cardinal Kazimierz Swiatek told Forum 18. But Fr Chudek appears not to have had his annual visa renewed due to his description of social malaise in Belarus given to a Polish newspaper earlier in 2007. More than 700 local Catholics have appealed to President Aleksandr Lukashenko for the decision to be withdrawn. Foreign religious workers invited by local religious communities are under tight state control and need permission specifying where they will work.

  • Why I Left My Old Home and What I Have Accomplished in America
    Chapter 4 Why I Left My Old Home and What I Have Accomplished in America Aaron Domnitz (Aba Beitani) b. 1884,Romanovo, Belarus To U.S.: 1906;settled in Baltimore, Md. The autobiography of Aaron Domnitz is the purest example of the maskil type in this collection. A deeply pious and zealous student of Gemara as a child and youth, he was drawn to the study of Hebrew literature and secular subjects as a yeshiva student. Influenced by the revolutionary fervor sur- rounding him, Domnitz romanticized workers and industrial labor but lasted only a brief time in the “shop” when he arrived in the United States. Domnitz describes his experiences as a member of the literary and intellectual circle known as “Di Yunge,” the Young Ones, while living in the Bronx in the first decades of the twentieth century. An ideal informant, the writer has a knack for keen observation, evoking his surroundings with a sharp eye and close detail, always placing the phenomena he describes vividly in their historical contexts. Introduction I want to make use of the autobiographical form, so I will skip many, many things that have occurred in my life. I will record only those details of my childhood that have in my consciousness some connection with my later urge to travel somewhere. Ruminating over my past has renewed in my memory several details that at one time made a strong impression on me, and I portray them here. These too would be interesting for a histo- rian who might sometime ruminate over old documents and want to form 124 Why I Left My Old Home and What I Have Accomplished in America 125 a complete picture of the people who took part in the great Jewish immi- gration at the beginning of the century.
