Petition-Monastyrshchina-1

16 February 1909

To His Excellency the Minister of Interior Affairs

From the residents of the town of Monastyrshchina of Mstislavl uyezd of Mogilev gubernia herewith undersigned

Petition

For 21 years in the abovementioned town petty bourgeois Dovid Berkovich Rakov has been our Senior Spiritual Rabbi. He enjoys respect and trust of his fellow and his is relatively educated person. Our town for many years has not had a public rabbi. Thus, in order to perform actions assigned by law to public rabbis we are compelled to ask for help from some public rabbi few versts away. Because of this some vital records of births, marriages and deaths are skipped.

Taking into consideration that the town s residents are extremely poor and have no means to pay to a public rabbi for his duties, and the abovementioned Spiritual rabbi agrees to take the position of the public rabbi for free, we have the honour to kindly ask your Excellency s permission for our town s spiritual rabbi to perform the duties of the public rabbi in abovementioned town. 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890

Petition-Zakharino

05 July 1909

To His Excellency the Minister of Interior Affairs

From the residents of the shtetl Zakharino herewith undersigned

Petition

Our shtetl Zakharino is situated far from main communication routs, so it cannot boast of either its welfare or its population. Meanwhile, our community has an obligation to keep a Jewish public rabbi with a higher education, which is unbearable and does not achieve its purpose.

Because of its poverty, the community cannot keep special public rabbi solely with its own recourses, therefore it is compelled to make an agreement with the Rabbi of nearby shtetl Chislavichi which is 12 versts (12.8 km - Sh.G.) from Zakharino.

The Rabbi s remote place of residence makes observation of the Jewish religious traditions very difficult and involves high costs for the residents of Zakharino. Besides, not rarely the vital records are made incorrectly, for the following reasons:

1. When a resident of Zakharino goes to the Rabbi in Chislavichi to make a vital record of birth, death or marriage and does not find him at home, because being also a private practice physician, he is often away on business. Then the visitor is compelled to forward his request to a member of the Rabbi's family or even to a servant, who may simply forget to forward it to the Rabbi or to distort details of the event. Subsequently, the record appears incorrect which
makes unsolvable problems with conscription or proving inheritance rights.

2. Each travel from Zakharino to Chislavichi can cost up to 1 ruble when the weather is good, but in Spring or Autumn the cost can be two or three times more, which makes it unaffordable for poor people. This causes delays or skipping of the vital records which also makes the same problems.

All of the above-mentioned things compel us to humbly ask Your Excellency to permit our community to elect a Rabbi without higher or secondary education for
managing the vital records in our shtetl. He will be a fully literate and honest person which can be spotted among the local residents, and because of that every event in the shtetl will be known to him, thus eliminating risk of errors in the records. On the other hand, keeping him will be affordable of our community, so small and poor.

We are waiting for Your Excellency s favorable decision on this request and the answer.

Two 1909 tax stamps of 75 kopecks each have been attached herewith for the petition and the answer. The signatures of Zakharino residents are attached
herewith.

Petition_to_Mogilev_Governor

11 May 1909

To His Excellency the Mogilev Governor

From the residents of the town of Chislavichi appointed by Jewish worship congregations herewith undersigned

Petition

Because of necessity to manage religious rituals and vital records, our community badly needs Public rabbi.

We do not have candidates graduated from the courses at the former Rabbinical School, or any Jewish Teacher s school or common higher or secondary educational institution to run for this position.

Taking into account that our local Spiritual rabbi petty bourgeois Mendel Girshev (Mendel, a son of Girsh - Sh.G.) Krakowiak as loyal and trustworthy person surely can perform the duties, including monitoring the set rules of pubic prayers and rituals be followed and explaining the true meaning of the Law. Therefore, we would like to elect him, Krakowiak, to the position of the Public rabbi.

Due to what has been mentioned, we respectfully ask Your Excellency to permit election of our Spiritual rabbi Krakowiak for this position.

If such permission should be issued by the Ministry of Interior Affairs, we humbly ask to forward this petition as needed and inform us about the following steps.

Two tax stamps of 75 kopecks each have been attached herewith.

School-Petition

To His Excellency the Supervisor of Vilna School District

From the authorized representatives of Chislavichi Jewish Community Dr. Lev Shachnovich Rabinovich, Baruch Davidovich Shapiro, Moisey Mordukhovich Rabinovich, Leiba, Chaimovich Risin

Petition

Submitting by this the decision of Chislavichi Jewish Community, we humbly ask Your Excellency s permission to open a Jewish primary school for the children of the both genders of the Jewish population.

In our shtetl which has up to 5,000 of Jewish population, 500-600 of which are children of school age, there is no school where the Jewish children could get right primary and religious moral education in the spirit of Jewish religion. Financial condition of the school will be guaranteed by yearly fees of the Jewish community and the payments for education which will not exceed 10 rubles per year.

Of further disposal please inform to our address in Chislavichi of Mogilev gubernia.

The authorized representatives of Chislavichi Jewish Community (signatures)

March 30, 1912.

January 31, 1912

We the Jews of Chislavichi the undersigned herewith, took part in the general meeting in presence of our Petty Bourgeois Administration s Head, and expressed opinion to open a public Jewish school in Chislavichi and find means for its sustaining. After discussing the aforementioned and finding out that the Jewish population of Chislavichi actually needs a school of this type, we decided:

1. To authorize from the midst of our population Dr. Lev Shachnovich Rabinovich, Baruch Davidovich (Rabinov) Shapiro, Moisey Mordukhovich Rabinovich and Leiba Chaimovich Risin to petition for opening the aforementioned school in Chislavichi.

2. To allocate for sustaining the school 1,200 rubles per year and forward this decision with our signatures after its confirmation to the Head of our Petty Bourgeois Administration for its verification and further disposal; to which we undersign:

Synaogue-Petition

To the All-Russian Central Executive Committee

From citizens observant Jews of the shtetl Monastyrshchina, Western region

Petition

On the 9th of September this year Monastyrshchina Village Council announced to us verbally, without any written document, that the only remained synagogue - small, wooden and situated far from the central streets - which was left for us old observant Jews, is going to be taken from us by the order of the Executive Committee of Western region #1846/3 from the 27th of August this year. It was motivated by that we allegedly did not follow the order of the Executive Committee of the district to repair the synagogue.

As a matter of fact, in 1935 the Executive Committee of Monastrshchina district demanded to repair it which we did: the roof and the floor were repaired, the walls and window frames were plastered and repainted, and the base had been repaired in 1934. Generally speaking, the synagogue is in full order.

We ask the All-Russian Central Executive Committee on the base of Clause 24 of Stalin Constitution about freedom to practice religion and taking into account our moral feelings and beliefs, to leave the aforementioned synagogue to us for long-term use.

This Petition is submitted via the Executive Committee of Western region by our representatives Berka Khotin and Aron Kagan.
