The Ruhzany Yiskor (Memorial)Book is about 2/3 completed and can be read on line for free at JewishGen.com under Yiskor books, Ruhzany, currently located in Belarus. Note the powerful stories concerning Rabbi Zak and colleague, Rabbi Tuvia Bacharach, as well as a sampling of narratives that "set the stage" not only for the Zak family's surnamed origins, but also much about the community of Ruhzany and its region, 1600's - 1942.
