Newsletter International Council of Jewish Women: 5655 Silver Creek Valley Road #480, San Jose, CA 95138 U.S.A
April 2014 – Nisan 5774 Newsletter International Council of Jewish Women: 5655 Silver Creek Valley Road #480, San Jose, CA 95138 U.S.A. Website: www.icjw.org Email: [email protected] Tel: +1 408 274 8020 Dear Friends: Just as with all things in our lives, there is indeed a “cycle” in the life of all organizations, including the International Council of Jewish Women. These cycles have one overriding purpose: renewal. In order to grow and move forward, renewal is essential; renewal brings new insights, new energies, new commitment and the opportunity for new growth to our organization and we welcome it. The spring of 2014 is ICJW’s “moment of renewal”. We will welcome new leadership; we will welcome new ideas; we will welcome new energies, and we will offer recognition and honor to those women who have led (and in many cases continue to lead) our organization. This edition of the ICJW Newsletter celebrates this renewal and those who have brought us to this point in our history. As we look forward to our Quadrennial Convention in Prague in May, we are proud to introduce our six newest Honorary Life Members, who will be officially recognized at the Convention, together with the installation of our new leaders. As in past editions, we feature two of our affiliates – the National Council of Jewish Women in Australia, the “home affiliate” of our incoming President, Robyn Lenn; and the Voluntarias Judeo Mexicanas – our rejuvenated affiliate in Mexico. We feature our ongoing efforts at the United Nations, including three exciting programs that we presented at the recent UN Commission on the Status of Women in New York, and our campaigns at the UN and through our affiliates around the world to fight against the reprehensible practice of trafficking. -

Komisaruk Family
Komisaruk family Updated by Chaim Freedman 18/02/2020, to replace the material in his book “Eliyahu’s Branches, the Descendants of the Vilna Gaon and His Family”, Avotaynu 1997. Dov Ber (Berel) Komisaruk, born 1776 in Girtegola, Lithuania,1 (son of David Komisaruk [1747 - ] and Khana ?), died 1843 in Rassein, Lithuania.2 Oral tradition held that Berel came from a prominent family of scholars and communal leaders in Kovno. Lithuanian records prove that the family came from the city Rassein which was located in Kovno Gubernia (province).When the Jews were compelled to adopt a surname in 1804 Berel and his brothers or their father registered their surname as "Komisaruk". Later generations used various forms of this name: Komisaruk, Komesaroff, Komisar, Comisaroff, Comisarow. A full explanation of the reason for these variations and the historic basis for the family's activities in Rassein can be found in "Our Fathers' Harvest" (Chaim Freedman, Israel 1982, supplement 1990.) Berel Komisaruk and his family appear to have held a license to farm taxes which the local Jewish community was obliged to pay to the Russian government. In their case the particular tax was that due to the supply corp of the army, the Komisariat. This was probably the origin of this surname. Tradition claims some relationship with the famous Soloveitchik family of Kovno. Other than their common Levitic descent, this has not been established. The Soloveitchik family was amongst the founders of the Kovno community in the early 18th century. The 1816 Revision List for Rassein city includes two family groups with heads of family Leib, son of David Komisaruk and Velvel, son of David Komisaruk. -
Opening the Torah to Women: the Transformation of Tradition
Opening the Torah to Women: The Transformation of Tradition Women are a people by themselves -Talmud: Shabbat 62a Traditional Judaism believes that both men and women have differentiated and distinct roles delegated through the Torah. A man’s role is focused on positive time-bound mitzvot (commandments), which include but are not limited to, daily praying, wrapping tefillin and putting on a tallit; whereas a women’s role and mitzvot are not time bound and include lighting Shabbat candles, separating a piece of challah for G-d on Shabbat, and the laws of Niddah (menstruation purity). 1 Orthodox Judaism views the separate roles of men and women as a valued and crucial aspect of Jewish life and law, whereas Jewish feminism and more reform branches of Judaism believe these distinctions between men and women are representative of sexual discrimination and unequal opportunity in Judaism. The creation of the Reform and Conservative movement in the late 1800s paved the way for the rise of the Jewish feminist movement in the 1970s, which re-evaluated the classical Jewish texts and halakha (Jewish law) in relation to the role of women in Judaism. Due to Judaism’s ability to evolve and change throughout time, women associated with different Jewish denominations have been able to create their own place within Judaism while also maintaining the traditional aspects of Judaism in order to find a place which connects them most to their religiosity and femininity as modern Jewish women. In Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism), there is a teaching that states that when each soul is created it contains both a female and male soul. -

Jewish Women in Britain by Marlena Schmool
Jewish Women in Britain by Marlena Schmool n giving an overview of Jewish women in Great Britain I intend to touch on three areas: Jewish Iorganisations; participation in synagogue life; and the position of Jewish women’s research in Britain. Naturally, what I have to say will scarcely skim the surface of each topic. The main sources for the data I quote are the regular compilations of synagogue membership and estimates of population which the Board of Deputies Community Research Unit has conducted regularly the past thirty years; and two recent large scale-studies: The Review of Women in the Jewish Community in 1993 for the Chief Rabbi’s Commission on Women; and The Survey of Social Attitudes of British Jews conducted by the Institute for Jewish Policy Research in 1995. In common with other “western” communities, British Jewry is based on immigrants. Its modern history is usually dated from 1656 with the settlement in London of a small group of sephardi Jews from Holland who were quickly followed by co-religionists of ashkenazi stock coming either directly from Germany or via Holland.1 The community continued to grow slowly and by 1800 was estimated at between 20,000 and 25,000.2 By the early 1880s, with an escalating influx from Eastern and Central Europe, British Jewry numbered a little over 60,000.3 Immigrant and native-born alike lived mainly in London, originally concentrating in the Spitalfields and Aldgate/Whitechapel areas at the eastern boundary of the City of London. Between 1880 and 1914 the immigrants and their first-generation British-born children led to a community numbering 300,000.4 Leaders of the established community responded to increased immigration by attempting “to turn the immigrants into Englishmen of the Jewish persuasion” and if this was not possible for the adults, then certainly it was to be attempted for the children.5 From the point of view of acculturated British Jewry, the acceptance they had laboured long to earn seemed threatened by newcomers with strange customs who did not readily blend into the late-Victorian English scene. -
