This commitment has its roots in the unique circumstances of my upbringing. I had the privUege of being raised in a four-generation household, which afforded me a very special opportunity to see a "genealogical pyramid" from a fairly elevated perspective. My grandparents were immigrants to the United States who came from Zelva. Because of their commitment to faith and culture, I acquired a facility with Yiddish and Hebrew commensurate with that of my native English. It was only many years later that I understood this to be an increasing rarity among native-born Americans, and as such, it jeopardized the preservation of our family folklore. The immeasurable loss caused by the Holocaust served to underscore this issue in my mind. I was first moved to action in 1976, after making my first trip to Israel. As a result of meeting my Freidin family relatives, I discovered that our family relationships were not well understood. Indeed, the limited knowledge that existed among the older members of the family showed signs of dissipating. With encouragement from my cousin Moshe Freidin, I undertook the task of developing a chronicle of the Freidin family genealogy. An abstract of that genealogy is included in this volume. I have continued in my capacity as Chronicler for the Freidins of Zelva, and their many descendants around the world. I became very interested in the Zelva Memorial Book project for very obvious reasons, and read the original 1984 publication with great interest. I concluded that I shared a fundamental obligation with the original editor, as expressed in his following note on the subject of the Yiddish language. Yerachmiel Moorstein recognizes that for a testament to have value and impact, it must be rendered accessible to its intended audience. Recognizing that Yiddish has seriously diminished in its role as the lingua franca of world Jewry, he translated all of the contributions to this volume into Hebrew, so that future generations of Israelis could read about the life and times of their forbears in Eastern Europe. This step was necessary, but not sufficient. There are several hundred of our kinfolk in North America, the United Kingdom and Australia, whose future generations may not have the facility in Hebrew that would make the original work accessible to them. They too will have a need to remember, and to know firom whence they came. It is for them that I decided to translate this work into English. I am somewhat amused to know that some of the passages have made the voyage from English to Hebrew, and now back to English again! I share Yerachmiel Moorstein’s outlook in approaching the task of translation. I have tried to stick to as literal a translation as I could, to convey the flavor of the authors’ writings. This is a very interesting challenge. For those of you who are interested in some of the considerations, I warmly recommend the Introduction to A Treasury of Yuidish Stories, edited by Irving Howe and Eliezer Greenberg, Penguin Press, (see especially pp. 46-50). Hebrew is, of course, a Semitic language, while English is Anglo-Saxon.

Many of the sources posed problems concerning numerical data on immi­ gration, especially for the months leading up to the end of the British Mandate, January-April 1948, and the first few months of the state, May­ August 1948. The researchers point out that 7,574 immigrant data cards are missing from the records and believe this to be due to the 'circumstances of the times'. Records are complete from September 1948 onward, and an important population census was held in November 1948. A parallel record­ ing system conducted by the Jewish Agency, which continued to operate after that of the Mandatory Government, provided us with statistical data for immigration during 1948-9 and made it possible to analyse the part taken by the Holocaust survivors.

  • 1 Weiss, Gavriel (Gabi) Born November 10 1925 in Timishuara
    1 Weiss, Gavriel (Gabi) Born November 10 1925 in Timishuara, Rumania Made Aliya in 1941 Joined the Palyam in 1945 This is the Way it Was Timishuara was a city with a mixed population of three nationalities: Romanian, Hungarian and German. The Jews were about 10% of the population and the other three shared the rest. In March 1941 we came to Palestine and in September I began my studies in the Naval School, adjacent to the Technion in Haifa. I was then aged 16 years. I chose to specialize in naval engineering and in addition there were studies in sailing, radio operating and boat building. Joining Palyam Several months before the end of the course, several men came from the Palyam, among them Avraham Zakai, and convinced us that we should join the Palyam. There were 17 students in the class, but I was the only one from engineering to volunteer. It seems that from the professional point of view this was a mistake, but I did not regret it. This was an interesting and challenging experience, and above all, it gave me a feeling that I was fulfilling a role in the creation of the State of Israel. Training and Activity in Palestine Most of those in my class who volunteered were sent to Ein Hayam, a kibbutz near Atlit. Most of the time we worked at loading bags of salt onto trains. I had the luck to be chosen to help the chief mechanical engineer to repair the motor of a railroad engine. That was the only specific job in my area of training that I performed during the next three and one half years of service.

Addy, Vice Provost and Dean of the Graduate School ABSTRACT Elsewhere, Then is a cross-generational road novel that traces the sociopolitical and personal narrative of a family through a musician making her way from Savannah to San Francisco. Traditional road narratives have long depicted the lone female traveller as being subject to violence when stepping outside the domestic sphere, which echoes history's larger and pervasive trend of denying women agency through silence and subjugation—in life, as in stories. The novel interrogates how (and by whom) narratives are created, embellished, changed, and/or discarded through the narrator's temporal and spatial journey.

  • The Unique Discovery of Sahaja Yoga 26 1
    The Divine Mother Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmalal Devi Whatsoever is contained in this book, O Devi, comes From You. What is there to dedicate to You? Preface I started writing this text in Kathmandu, shortly after my first encounter of a different kind with HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. I was quite young and nothing qualified me as one of the messengers of The Advent. However, the intensity and depth of the blissful illumination of Samadhi, bestowed effortlessly by this One Mother and Master, in Hurst Green, Surrey, by a sunny day of August 1975, left me stunned and amazed! I became instantly convinced of the historical dimension of Shri Mataji’s powerful message of love, hope and spiritual transformation. I was eager to communicate the news of the manifestation of an exceptional spiritual Avatar. I did so with a sort of youthful enthusiasm. I was perhaps naive in my assumption that such deep reality can be communicated by limited words. My attempt might have lacked in writing skills but it was sincere. The book was later rewritten for a broader, non initiated public, and translated in various languages. But this original version in English, reprinted without any modifications, captures the mood of discovery, as I crossed for the first time the gate to God’s glorious Reality. I had ventured in the transformed consciousness landscape that Sahaja Yoga opens for us and wanted to report about my exciting journey. Shri Mataji Herself reviewed the manuscript in London a little later. It is clear that the knowledge is Hers and the mistakes are mine.
