Veterinarian Yonatan Peres, the son of Shimon Peres, recently related to HERITAGE the story of how his family took the name "Peres."
In 1945, he said, his father was directed by David Ben-Gurion, who then was chairman of the Jewish Agency, and Palmach founder Itzhak Sadeh to lead a 12-member expedition to map the Negev. With 12 camels, the group spent 22 days trekking along the Arava valley from Be'er Afloug to Oum Rashrash, which was the forerunner settlement of Eilat.
The 12 trekkers included members of the Palmach, the Noar Odev youth movement, and several scientists, including a botanist, zoologist and an archeologist.
"All of a sudden my father -- who then was named Shimon Persky-- saw a nest on the tree," Dr. Peres told HERITAGE. "He thought it was a vulture's or an eagle's. He climbed on the tree and found the nestlings inside.Dr. Yonatan Peres (above) bids goodbye to the
peres, Shimon, named for his father (below)
Then Prof. Heinrich Mendelson, who was a walking encyclopaedia and later became head of the zoology department at Tel Aviv University, said 'yes, you have just discovered a nest of peres.' "And the rest of them said 'Persky is not a Hebrew name; so now you can take the Hebrew name Peres and this is the real story of how Persky became Peres."
Besides being related to the bird's namesake, Yonatan Peres is quite interested in the program because he is a veterinarian and a close friend of Dr. Igal Horowitz, the Tel Aviv-Ramat Gan Zoological Center veterinarian who got Shimon the peres ready for his trip to San Diego.
ILOS ANGELES -- Being the son of Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres is a mixed blessing. "The name helps open some doors," says Dr. Yonatan "Yoni" Peres, "but sometimes it closes them." The doors through which the younger Peres, a veterinarian, hopes to pass lead to potential supporters of his pet project, the Israel Guide Dog Center for the Blind. With Los Angeles as his base, Peres is spending some months in the United States as the center's volunteer development director. It's an assignment that necessitates his competing with better-known Israeli causes and institutions for the contributions of charitable American Jews. Although the center also has support organizations in Britain, Switzerland and Israel, American donations account for 80 percent of its annual $630,000 budget. There are some 20,000 blind persons in Israel, among them 150 veterans blinded through combat wounds. Some names have been added to the list more recently as victims of terrorist attacks. The acceptance of guide dogs, as well as pets in general, is not as common in Israel as in the United States, says Peres. According to his statistics, there is one pet dog or cat for every two Americans, while in Israel the ratio is one such pet to every 20 people. He attributes the difference to the higher living standards of Americans, with their larger homes and backyards, as well as an Israeli mentality that associates dogs with pogroms and Nazi concentration camps. Peres was a member of Hebrew University's first graduating class in veterinary medicine, but he traces his love of animals back to his childhood. "That's something you are born with, you don't acquire it," he says. Though not claiming any genetic family inheritance, Peres notes that his father, after arriving in Palestine from Poland, worked on a kibbutz looking after cows and sheep. The middle child of three, Yoni Peres remembers a difficult childhood as the son of a famous father. "You were always under the microscope," he recalls. "When you did something well, people thought you used your family connections. When you did something bad, it was a public disgrace." He has found in the United States a greater appreciation of his father's talents and contributions than in Israel, but he quickly turns the conversation back to the present. "I want to live as a normal person, not as the son of a famous man,'' says Peres, who recently turned 50 and is divorced. Up until a decade ago, a blind Israeli waiting to acquire a guide dog had to travel to the United States for training, a move that required money, separation from family and fluency in English. In 1991, Noach Braun, who had worked with dogs during his Israeli army service and subsequently trained in the United States and Britain, opened the guide dog center and three years later moved it to its present location in Beit Oved, south of Tel Aviv. Its Web site is www.Israelguidedog.orgThe facilities were, and still are, spartan by American standards. Braun and his wife, Orna, acquired two breeding dogs and four mobile homes -- two for offices and two to house four blind people during their training period. Peres, then in private practice and teaching at Hebrew University, joined the center as a volunteer shortly after its opening. He is largely responsible for the medical screening and evaluation of potential guide dogs.So far, 100 Israelis have graduated from the center, and a building program is underway to accommodate many more.

 I was on Ancestry.com website searching for information on the Persky
families and went on to your websites that you posted regarding the
Persky's in Vishnevo and Volozhin - so interesting. My search is a
little unusual perhaps as I have only just discovered I am a
descendant of this family, or at least think I am!! Whilst
researching my mothers genealogy, I discovered that her father who we
had always known as Harry Belcon, had written his will as follows:- I,
Harry Persky, commonly known as Harry Belcon, etc. As you might
imagine, I am rather perplexed with this discovery but am trying to
find out more. Harry Persky/Belcon was born in 1890/1 either in
London or Russia/Lithuania. He trained as a cabinet maker in High
Wycombe, U.K. as a youth. I have managed to find a Harry Persky who
emigrated to U.S. in 1907 along with his parents - Myer and Bertha and
his brothers Louie and Jacob - they arrived in London in approx. 1890
and lived in Bethnal Green, London until they left for New York in
1907 and I think, then lived in Brooklyn. However, if this man was my
grandfather, he would have returned to England at some stage. Is
there anyone you could put me in touch with to try and solve this
puzzle or perhaps it is something I will never be able to find out!

Any suggestions for me, please?!!

Hope to hear from you,

Thank you so much for replying quickly and yes, this is my grandfather.
On
his marriage certificates (both the English and Katouba) he has put his
father to be Abraham Morris Belcon but I now have this man's death
certificate which has been signed by my grandfather but with the name
of H.
Perski and again on my grandfather's will, as I mentioned before, he
has put
I, Harry Persky, commonly known as Harry Belcon. Apart from these two
documents, we have nothing else that carries the name of Harry Persky -
so
you can see it's all a bit of a mystery!! I think it would be an
excellent
idea to put his name on the Persky family site. As far as I can see,
there
were 3 Persky families in England at around 1890 to New York in 1890 to
1910
and these were Myer and Bertha with Hyman/Harry, Louie and Jacob then
there
is another Myer married to Tobia with 2 daughters - Annie and Becca and
finally there is an Alexander and Liley with a daughter Bertha - as far
as I
can see, Alexander emigrated to New York in 1898 on his own. The
interesting thing is that my mother's older sister's name was Eva Liley
who
called her son Michael Alexander. My mother's name was Connie Hilda.

My grandfather lived in Mile End Road, Whitechapel the year of his
marriage
and had his own wholesale cabinet making business from 1923 to 1926,
Belcon
Ltd, in London. If you need any other information do let me know and
hopefully we can solve this one!
I remember my father talking about family from Lithuania (his parents
were from Lodz, Poland and my mother's mother was from Warsaw so he
must have meant my mother's father's family), My mother adored her
father but he died in 1946 - before I was born and I know it was
painful for her to talk of him - I do remember
her saying there was no-one to carry on the belcon name - no boys, just
girls! She did visit cousins in Derbyshire with the name of Annie and
Johnnie Gilbert - I never ever met them, which is strange. I have
tried to
trace them, with no success tho. Maybe Annie was a Belcon or a Persky -
there is a fourth couple of Persky's that I forgot to mention - and
they
were Sarah Elizabeth Persky and Thomas Persky - and they did indeed
live in
Chesterfield, Derbyshire - this is on the 1901 England Census so
possibly,
Annie was their daughter but I don't know. Apart from always being
told
what a quiet, kind and gentle man my grandfather was and that he
trained as
a cabinet maker in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire I know very little
else -
oh yes, he apparently walked with a limp and suffered with angina.

I think we may be
related. My family, (descendants of Lazar Perskie and Mindel Dithy Perskie),
are originally from Volozhin and came to the US in the mid-19th century. Check
my genealogical Website for more information. Also, please email me your email

My great-great grandfather Avrum Itzhak Persky lived near the town
of Rechkovschizno Byelorussia or Redkowstiziva Vilna Russia
It is somewhere between Vilna and Molodechno In the 1960s when one
of his children went back he said the town was gone and the area was
now called Gorodok

Avrum was born in 1860 and adopted at an unknown date by someone named
Persky We don't know who adopted him. None of the other Persky folks
I've spoken with (the CT or NJ Perskys) are familiar with this story.

I found this family tree on line. My great grandfather Simon Persky was from Volozhin. He came to the US and resided in New Haven, Ct. He is buried there. I have his obituary. He died in the 60s. I remember him( barely). His daughter Gertrude Persky Levin is now also deceased. His grandson and granddaughter are still alive.

I am would think we are related some how. I remember my grand mother telling me this is where he is from.

Daniel Persky's private life never emerges in the commentary about his
academic endeavours. Did he marry and then divorce? I have oral testimony
that he was married to, and then divorced from, a Fannie Novack (1902-1992)
of Montreal. Fannie Novack had a literary bent, was well-versed in Proust,
and was an accomplished lawyer who worked in the Attorney-General's office
of the Chicago municipality. I have not found any evidence of the
Persky-Novack marriage but perhaps Persky family genealogists or others
interested in Daniel Persky's biography may be able to clarify this matter.

 Jacob and Lillian Persky

As a young child in Macon, GA, USA sometime around 1942-1945, I was much impressed by Jacob and Lillian Persky, wartime visitors to nearby Warner-Robins Air Force Base. He was an officer in the RAF. Viewing from a child's recollection, they were a very winning young married couple. Any feedback on their histories will be welcomed.

-Eliezer Mordechai ben Tzvi Persky and his wife, Minnie Disha, immigrated to the US in 1883, along with their son, Jacob, and three daughters, Yochaved, Fanny, and Sadie after experiencing anti-Semitic persecution in what was then their home, Volozhin, the Russian Jewish Pale of Settlement. Here Jews were not permitted to own and farm land. With the assistance of the Alliance Israelite Universalle and the Baron Maurice de Hirsch Foundation they were able to come to this country, along with forty-three other families from similar backgrounds, all sharing the philosophy of the Am Olam Movement. These pioneers founded the first Jewish agricultural colony in the United States in Alliance/Norma/Brotmanville, NJ. Lazar's and Minnie's youngest son, Joseph B. Perskie, was their only child born in the United States, in 1885, on the farm in Alliance.-
Eliezer Mordechai ben Tzvi Persky was born November 1842 in Volozhin/Valozhyn, the Russian Pale of Settlement and died August 26, 1902 in Alliance, NJ. Eliezer's father, was named Tzvi. He was born in 1820 in Volozhin, the Jewish Pale of Settlement. I do not know his date of death nor whether he had a surname other than his Hebrew patronymic name.

Eliezer married Minnie, (Mindel), Disha bat Reb Eliyahu, born December 1844 in the Russian Jewish Pale of Settlement. "Disha or Dithy" are probably not Mindel's surname, but a middle name, as it means "Dinah," (as in the biblical "Dinah," who was the daughter of Jacob, one of the patriarchs of the Israelites, and Leah, his first wife). Minnie died in 1920 in Norma, NJ. The couple immigrated to the United States in 1883, (with 4 of their children - the 5th was born in the US), through Castle Garden, NY. They then moved to Alliance, Salem County, NJ, to become part of the original pioneering group in the Jewish agricultural settlement there. They begat five children - four were born either/or in Volozhin, or in Minsk, in what was then the govenment of Minsk, (Volozhin is situated 75 km away from Minsk, Russia). Their last child was born in Alliance, NJ. The 5 children are:

1) Yocheved Persky/Perskie - born December 1863 in Volozhin. She married Aaron Ruvinsky, born December, 1862, in the Russian Jewish Pale of Settlement. He changed his name from Ruvinsky to Rovine after arriving in the US. They married circa 1883 in New Jersey. Yochaved died in 1906 in Norma, NJ. The couple had 8 children. (See 2nd generation on this Homepage). Aaron died in 1935 in Philadelphia, PA.

2) Jacob H Perskie - born circa 1865 in either Volozhin or Minsk, Russia. Jacob changed the spelling of his surname from "Persky" to "Perskie" when he arrived in the US, and his siblings followed suit. He also added the middle name "Harrison" for William Henry Harrison, a former president of the US. He married Lena Abramowitz in 1891 in Atlantic City, NJ. Lena was born 22 June, 1875, in Russia, or possibly Romania. She and her family were amongst the original pioneering families at Alliance, NJ. She died 27 January, 1921 in Atlantic City, NJ. The couple had 13 children, (See 2nd generation on the Jacob H. Perskie Branch - yet to be completed). Jacob died on June 26, 1941 in Atlantic City, NJ. He was the official photographer and portrait painter for President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the 1932 and 1936 presidential campaigns. His eldest son, Leon Perskie, was the photographer for the 1940 campaign, as Jacob was too ill at that time to work. Leon Perskie went on to become the official photographer for Presidents Truman, Kennedy and Johnson.

3) Fannie Perskie - born circa 1870 in Volozhin, the Russian Jewish Pale of Settlement. Her date of death is unknown at this time, but it probable that she died in the mid to late 1940s. She was alive when her father died in 1941. She married Joseph Jacobs, born in 1864 in Russia. They married in New Jersey and had 8 children. (See 2nd generation on the Fannie Perskie Branch - yet to be completed)). Joseph's date of death and place of death are unknown at this time.

4) Sadie Perskie - born circa 1875 in Volozhin, the Russian Jewish Pale of Settlement. She married Jacob Kurtz, in New Jersey. His date of birth and place of birth are presently unknown. The couple had 6 children. (See 2nd generation on the Sadie Perskie Branch - yet to be completed). Sadie died in 1947 in Philadelphia, PA.

5) Joseph B. Perskie - born July 20, 1885 in Alliance, Salem County, NJ. He gave himself the middle name "Bruce" because "he thought it sounded more distinguished than just plain 'Joseph Perskie.'" He married Beatrice "Batya" Masliansky, the daughter of Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Masliansky, a "Maggid," (a wandering Jewish preacher whose sermons contained religious and moral instruction and words of comfort and hope), from Slutsk, Russian Jewish Pale of Settlement. Beatrice was born 07 June, 1890, in Russia. The couple married on 27 Nov, 1910, in New York City, NY. They had 3 children. (See 2nd generation on the Joseph B. Perskie Branch - yet to be completed). Joseph died on May 29, 1957. Justice Joseph B. Perskie was a distinguished member of the New Jersey Supreme Court from 1933 to 1947. Beatrice died in January 1976 in Atlantic City, NJ.

*** What follows is the Persky/Rovine branch of the family, because Yocheved Persky/Perskie, who married Aaron Ruvinsky ("Rovine"), was Eliezer's and Mindel's first child. I am in the process of creating a Jacob H. Persky/Abramowitz branch of our family tree. He was Eliezer's and Minnie's 2nd child.

My name is Esther Wasser Epstein. My mother, Luba Persky née Abramson was born in Krewo in 1920 and passed away last year. She gave me the picture of the Persky family pictured on your website that my cousin Chaya Werber posted?

My mother (Libby Wasser, holding a book)   was finally able to share her story with me at length a few years before she died. Her story was heart wrenching, and even now it is hard for me to share her story. I noticed that on your Krewo website, picture 26 mentions Gershon Milikovsky and his daughter Roza ( or Raizala) and her brother Noah. My mother said that Gershon and Judah Milikovsky were uncles and business partners with her father, Chaim Yehudah, and Roza was her cousin and best friend. She described how Noah perished. Could you possibly put me in touch with the person who wrote the caption to this picture? Thank you for any help you could provide.
Sincerely,
Esther Epstein

I would please like to ask you to explain the number 89 on my mother's Yad Vashem entry for her address in Krevo, Belarus. Is that a house number? I am planning on visiting Krevo this summer and am having difficulty finding that address, or if it is an address. Could it be a road? u, Jan 1, 2015 11:05 pm
