  • 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.

Our own mental, spiritual and physical health is paramount in the work of Tikkun Olam.

  • History of Jews in Western Canada, 2010
    The Prairie Provinces Introduction Jews started coming to the Canadian West in the 1880s for the same reasons as other immigrants: to escape religious persecution in their European homelands, and for the promise of vast tracts of cheap land. More specific Jewish reasons for immigration were to escape pogroms in Russia, or to avoid conscription into the Russian Army. Some came for the gold rush, and some were merely following the maxim, “Go West, Young Man.” While many started out in farming colonies run by the Jewish Colonization Association, the Baron de Hirsch Society or the Montefiore Society, most of these ventures eventually failed, as the Jews of Eastern Europe insofar as they had farming experience, were primarily mixed-crop farmers, and the climate and soil of the prairie provinces was not conducive to this kind of farming. It didn’t help that they were mostly given land in the infertile and arid Palliser Triangle. When the failure of their farms forced them to move off their colonies, the Jews tended to migrate first to the small towns, where they set up general stores. While the general store was the popular choice for a business, there were also Jewish clothing stores, Jewish doctors embarking on their first practice. Jewish teachers and nurses could be found in rural areas, as could a number of Jewish farmers, those who raised and sold cattle, fur traders, hotel owners, and auto dealers. There were also Jewish pedlars, who traveled their small town routes and were treated as long-lost relatives when they met other Jews in a town or village.
