Shalom,

During the period of the High Holidays, many of us were quite busy in
many other directions and still are, as it happens, as we enter the
first days of Sukkot. I believe that as these holidays are frequently
family occasions, our thoughts often return to our roots, thinking
about the families from our past, contemplating about how these holidays
were celebrated a generation or so ago.

This, in my opinion, is where the Yizkor books come in, providing us
with an unparalleled insight into how, in the past, these holidays were
celebrated in the various communities. The Yizkor books, in addition,
provide us with unique information about all aspects of these
communities. The problem? The stories and the information in these books
are in languages not all of us know to read - mainly, Yiddish and Hebrew.
It is here that the Yizkor Book Project comes into play, unravelling the
text by translating it into English. Of course, we also translate into
other languages to also allow non-English readers access to this
material. This past month, for instance, we added in translations into
Hebrew of the Yiddish articles from the Przytyk Yizkor book, kindly
presented to us by Esther Weinschelbaum.

It should be noted that all the material in the Yizkor Book site is
made freely available worldwide but in order to undertake the
translations in the first place, we do need the financial support to
pay for their professional translation. We are continually looking for
such support in order to continue our mission and if you are able to
assist, to any degree, to one of Translation funds, a link is provided
at the end of this report to the list of projects. Your donation will
not only benefit you and your family but also so many others with roots
in the same communities.
