July 2019 | Keeping in Touch 3 Q & A with Bernard Salt AM Elise Hawthorne The Legacy Shaper (LS) is aged 80-something and can often be a lone person, a widow, suddenly thrust into a time and a situation when they think about life and the next generation. LSs think about passing on family history, stories, photos and artefacts to the point they will even tag different items to different grandkids. LSs are thinking about the legacy they will leave behind. The Reflectors are aged 88 and over and are by their very age frail. They are apt to ask the big questions in life, perhaps the biggest question in life, and that is: what is the meaning of life; what was its purpose. Reflectors can be very religious and/or philosophical. In some ways, perhaps in many ways, they are humanity’s philosophers. Q. What are the key health and wellbeing issues affecting the 70 - 88 + Australians? A. The key health and wellbeing issues can be dictated by financial security and family connection; get those two Fs right—family and Bernard Salt finances—and the ageing process can be—I suspect—a rewarding and enjoyable time ernard Salt AM, the managing director of The in the lifecycle.

    Ideas for Keeping in Touch

    Keeping in touch if you can’t be with someone who is so ill that they might die In this difficult time of coronavirus, we are all restricted from getting together with friends and family in the way we would like. This is particularly painful when someone important to us is so seriously ill that they might die, and we can’t be physically near them. Even though they are surrounded by people who are caring gently and kindly for them, it can be very hard to be apart from them. If this is your situation, here are some ways that you and your loved one can feel closer together, even at a distance. These ideas are intended to help whether or not there is a hope that your loved ones will recover. The Invisible String is a children’s book that describes the connections between people, even at a distance. If you have children in the family you might like to have a look at the book. If you like it, you could show it to the children and use it to introduce some of the ideas below, explaining that these are ways of keeping your ‘invisible strings’ in place. If your loved one is being cared for in hospital, hospice or a care home, check with staff caring for them which of the ideas below would work at the moment and ask them to let you know if this changes. Phones and tablets If your loved one is going into hospital or hospice, try and make sure they take a phone or tablet and charger with them.

    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.
