my Bubbie Yetta, Yehudis (in Hebrew) Neiditch Ginsburg. She left Pinsk in 1913 at the age of 16 to begin her new life in Chicago. She was very strong willed and determined to build a Jewish family in Chicago that held on to the Jewish traditions. My son, Seth, is studying at Machon Yaakov in Jerusalem with hopes to influence each of my children to follow the Orthodox ways, in my Bubbie's footsteps.
