 As part of my family research, I am acting as a clearing house for Jewish families named Pokross ( Pokrassa). Visit yousaypokrassa to see how a family was reunited after 70 years.I am a member of the Cirlin-Ginzburg and Kusinitz families from Dokshitsy and nearby Parafianov. I am also a member if the Pokross family from Gorodishche, Ukraine and the Karnovsky family also of the Ukraine. I grew up Newport RI. At the time I think I was related to much of Jewish Newport. I
am strongly opposed to exhibits of
plasticized "real" human bodies, which I consider an affront to human
dignity. See stopbodyworlds I have been encouraged by people all over the world in this effort, and
have made many friends in this endeavor from all over the US and
Canada, and also in Germany, The Netherlands, and Australia and have been able to reach many. When I lived in Sharon Massachusetts I was active in Temple Israel. At Temple Israel remembrances composed by Temple members about communities affected by the Holocaust are read during Yizkor. I came up with the idea of posting them on the Temple web site, and accomplished this with the help of many including Donna Carver and Wendy Abelman.
Sukkahs of the world is devoted to pictures of sukkahs from Sharon to Shanghai, and from Boston to Beijing. I created my first Sukkah site in 2005 about the sukkahs in Sharon, MA and also a modest hannukah site. Sharon, Massachusetts is one of the most Jewish places in the world. Don't you think it should have a home page? I co-chaired a Naomi Shemer memorial event at Temple Israel. Lettersfromisrael is devoted to letters that were not intended for publication from travelers to or residents of Israel.
