If it was just a rumour, shame it wasn't disapporoven. There was no way of disproving it because the facts didn't add up.

BTW, it's got nothing to do with how gelungen your family is. My family is too!!! They have fantastic personalities, have wealth and gorgeous families.

BUT

If it is true? It's not so simple.

I know many many people will not touch a lefkowitz. It's NOTHING personal! But this is a serious matter.


How is this appropriate to post?? You should ashamed of yourself for shaming an entire family. (I’m not part of that family and I only have a vague idea of what you’re talking about, it doesn’t smell right)

Not related but there was a Wolk family in Baltimore at one point... There was an article in the Binah Sept 5, '22 about Laykie Wolk... Funnily enough (and oh so appropriate to this thread) her quote on that cover was:
"Yichus isn't something you boast about; make sure your yichus can boast about you"

BT here. This quote that you were just posted is such a bomb to my soul, reading this and feeling actually kind of down.

A number of years ago I posted on here that I was so happy when I learned that a number generations ago I had a great grandmother and great great grandfather who were frum, and one of the amazing women on here told me that my great great grandmother used to light Shabbos candles and daven for me.

If anyone else is reading this thread and feeling like the lone branch on a seemingly barren tree, let’s be mechazek each other. Someone davened for us and our return is bringing them great nachas.

Very awkward to talk about it.

ETA My cousins are decendents too and they have a very hard time in shidduchim. They marry different Lefkowitz cousins. I guess the family is big enough.

What in the world is going on???

Bumping this up because it got lost in the shuffle.
Anyone else from the Wolk Family.
Not many branches survived because it's a Lithuanian family.
But im curious if I'll find distant cousins.


Not related, but there's a Wolk family in Flatbush. DD had one of them as a teacher.
