THE RADISCH'S

The RADISCH's married into the RUBIN family when MORRIS RADISCH married BASCHA-CHAYIE DUBINER/RUBIN.

The SPECTOR's married into the RUBIN family when BECKY SPECTOR married DAVIS-LIBE RUBIN.

Historical records from Kamenets-Litovsk show listings for "RADISHETZ" and "SPEKTOR".

It took two years to unravel the mystery of how the Pomerantz's are related to the SPECTOR's, the RUBIN's and the RADISCH's (pronounced Raid-ish and also spelled Radish). All these families all came from Kamenets-Litovsk—which was not that large a town. Sibi Shuman (daughter of Frieda Pomerantz) kept insisting (correctly) we are related to the Rubins, Radischs and Spectors. She told of attending weddings in the Rubin and Radisch families, of visiting the Spectors and of spending summers at Jake Rubin's dairy farm in Lebanon,CT. But she could not tell how we were related ... although she believed we were related through CHANA-RAISEL DUBINER-POMERANTZ.

Please see DUBINER information for history of the DUBINER-RUBIN's.

In the course of unraveling the mystery, much information was collected on these other families. It is presented here because the Rubin's, Radisch's, Spectors, Pomerantz's and Safer's clearly played a prominent role in each others lives.

ABRAHAM and ESTHER RADISCH (Morris's parents) are buried in the Kamenets-Litovsk section of Mt. Lebanon Cemetery, near where David and Rosie Pomerantz are buried. Many of the other Rubin’s and Radisch’s are buried in the Kamenets d’lita section of the Beth David Cemetery in Elmont where Nathan and Pauline Pomerantz are also buried.

Source: Morris Radisch sites his mother's maiden name as Ester Sakowitz on his marriage certificate.

Abraham Yoel Radisch sold beer in Kamenets. Every Thursday Abe would take his beer wagon to Brest, stay for the weekend, sell his beer and then return. He met Esther in Brest and they married and had all their children prior to coming to the US. ABRAHAM and ESTHER immigrated from Russia in 1905.

In the 1910 census Abraham is listed as a merchant in a coal yard and Esther as an operator in a clothing shop. Jacob and Hyman were both errand boys. In 1920, Abraham is listed as a peddler, William as a foreman in a lumber yard and Jennie as a saleslady selling skirts.

Abraham and his borther, Louis Radisch, were instrumental in establishing Kokhav Jacob (Jacob’s Star) - the oldest Kamenets Aid Society in the US.

Abraham suffered from diabetes. Late in his life he had to have his legs amputated. In accordance with the Jewish tradition that one should be buried with all their parts, Abraham had his legs buried so that when he died, his remains would be complete. Abraham and Esther are buried in Mt. Lebanon Cemetery.
