- II. KAUSHANY BEFORE 1918 ..........................................................................16
| Jewish Life in Bessarabia Through the Lens of the Shtetl Kaushany Yefim A. Kogan Kaushany, 1950s Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Masters of Jewish Liberal Studies degree at Hebrew College May, 2012 2 This paper is dedicated to my dear mother and father. My mother, Khinka Kogan (Spivak), was born in Bessarabia and now lives in Tzur-Shalom, Israel. She inspired me and my whole family with great stories about her ancestors, friends and many residents of the shtetl Kaushany. My father, Buma (Abram) Kogan (ל״ז) , of blessed memory, who drew my genealogical tree many years ago, and helped me to understand what family is all about. I also dedicate this work to all Jews of Kaushany. Adviser: Dr. Barry Mesch, Provost and Stone/Teplow Families' Professor of Jewish Thought at Hebrew College 3 TABLE OF CONTENT I.
