The Wyszkower Aid Society in New York that is already functioning for 70 years, mourns the passing of Reb Mordekhai Czekhanow, of blessed memory, (Born 1891, died November 21, 1960) One of the most prominent members in the last 45 years, praiseworthy, devoted activist for Wyszkower relief. In sorrow for the great loss V. Radziminsky – President J. Zajdenberg – Vice-president   A Word on His Grave A righteous man goes before you – Took his final steps on this earth. Scores of years with Mordekhai. How fortunate that It was destined for us to be together. Mordekhai was our teacher – We had to understand him, That it is not more beautiful in human life Than to love others, not just yourself. His heart bled for human suffering His heart trembled for Jewish pain; Still, his smile never wanted to leave him, He felt: that the Jewish nation will not die out. Mordekhai had a heart and a desire That for another person's pain and need Not only to help with his feelings But also to share his piece of bread. We honor and give respect to his name – Mordekhai the warm person and fiery Jew To the wreath of flowers I add My own flower, my Jewish song …   Tch. Apelboim

In Eternal Memory Mr. Yakov Zilberstajn Hakohen, of blessed memory One of the most devoted activists in the Wyszkower Society, and in general for Wyszkower landsleit. There was no task too difficult for him. Neither rain nor snow stopped him from his mission. He held many positions, was president of the Society, chairman of the Relief Committee, treasurer, and more. He was always encouraging others. He himself had a generous hand and urged others to give. Twelve years ago, the Zilberstajn family and all other Wyszkower landsleit lost their beloved and honored Yakov Zilberstajn. He is greatly missed by the Wyszkower landsleit and it is difficult to find someone who can take his position, who, with such energy and success, could conduct his work for the Wyszkower landsleit. Yakov Zilberstajn, may he rest in peace, will not be forgotten. His work in community projects is chaired by his wife Molly and the children, who are in sadness all these years, for their dear father and beloved husband. They also loyally take part [in addressing] all Wyszkower problems. They also contributed $100 towards the Yizkor Book. Honor his memory!
