Comment on Jewish Ziegenhain by Robin Stanley

Rafi

Have just come across your article on Ziegenhein. My grandfather came from Ziegenhein. His father, Joseph Stern (wife Emma) was a horse dealer. My grandfather, Herbert Stern, had 10 brothers and sisters who dispersed to all corners of the globe during the Nazi period. My father had to change his surname to Stanley as (after being interned) he joined the British army. I would be most interested to learn of any additional information you might have on the Sterns of Ziegenhein.

Best Wishes

Comment on The Nahal Eshkol Controversy by M H

” I have not found any material online that would suggest how he came into possession of the manuscript or the background to the publication. If any readers can fill me in on this, I would be indebted.”
Go to a good seforim or Judaica library and simply open up Albeck’s print. (Beware of shaping your opinions solely or even mostly based on what’s available on the internet without doing your own research.)There is like a 60 page (or more, I forget) introduction. He says that the Alliance Israelite in Paris purchased a manuscript of Eshkol from someone in Italy, which he made use of, as well as the real manuscript in Halbershtadt, called the “Krimoli” manuscript, which Auerbach’s heir was in possession of. Auerbach forged the parts of the ESHKOL that were NOT found in the real manuscript he actually possessed, but the Krimoli and Paris manuscripts mostly match up and are considered to be the real Eshkol. All defenders of Auerbach have been forced to argue that he had a third manuscript that was lost.

Comment on “Where do you find time to paint?!” by aleta gudelski

So love your take on finding time to paint especially organizing ones day to include painting. I tend to let painting go, over a year now, to babysit for the kids. I have five grown daughters and 7 grandchildren. I have not put my painting first;hence, neither do they.
Guess it starts with me. L pray with my brush. When I don’t paint I am apart from my spirit.
Continue wonderful messages and I will begin to work on a schedule.
Blessings

Where is the recycling center for electronics (besides the one in Givat Shaul)? Our DVD player is dead. Thanks!

Comment on Tuning localization for Googlebot by Me

I think this is happening to my website. I never though of this. The thing is ‘fetch as googlebot’ on webmaster tools reports the site is ok but I was getting 404 every time googlebot tried to index my website. Never knew why until now. I’m making conclusions too early (because ‘fetch as googlebot’ worked great) but I bet it was because of not testing the header variable availability. BTW, you can use isset() to test the variable instead.
Thank you!

I liked your comments about:
Remember: if you want time, you will find it. There is a saying that if you want domething done, then ask a busy person. It’s true, busy people know how to find time. Be a busy person.

So very true, I guess it also entails finding value in spending time on the artwork

That’s pretty amazing. My family left Ziegenhain in the mid 19th century and moved to Frankfurt. Up till the beginning of the 19th century they were living in Ziegenhain, Oberlistingen, Treysa, Ascherode – it seems all over the Schwalm area. Thn they moved to Frankfurt where they lived until the 1930s when Hitler rose to power. Luckily all of our immediate family fled early to Britain, the US and Palestine.
