113825 Translation - Hebrew

3/1/2026 2:15 PM We were told this is a handwritten reference for Aaron Aronofsky, when he left Lithuania in about 1884 with his brother Kalman and sister in law Taube (his other brother’s widow) and their families.

We would love to know what it says. The family came first to London and then Aaron and Taube went on to Cape Town SA where much of their family remain. 		View the post with its 1 response
