Notes to Reader:
- This translation was commissioned by the children,
grandchildren, great grandchildren and great, great grandchildren of Philip
Rubinstein and Naomi Gurian Rubinstein, residents of Ivenets until 1903 and
1911, respectively.
- The translation was completed in December 1993 by
Mordeccai Schreiber, a rabbi and professional author and translator. Mr.
Schreiber considers the Ivenets memorial book to be unusual in terms of its
length (for the small town it describes) as well as its cultural and literary
richness: "The early pages of this book are an excellent description of the
town, its people and institutions, livelihoods, leading personalities, and the
rich religious life of Ivenets. It's interesting that so much has been
preserved; the letters and records are very impressive; this town was a very
active place. It's unusual to see a book like this with so much authentic
detail about daily life."
- The translation is followed by a glossary explaining
terms in the text that are marked by an asterisk (*). This glossary was
prepared by Joseph Rubinstein.
