Violetta was born in 1990 in

Chimkent, Kazakhstan to the proud par-

ents of Roman Pinkhasov and Olga Yur-

gayeva. In September of 1991, at just 13

months of age, she and her family immi-

grated to America, the land of opportu-

nity and future prosperity. Here her fam-

ily, like many Bukharian

families, overcame many

obstacles and finally

reached their dreams,

encouraging Violetta and

her brother, Robert, to do

the same. She is very

thankful for her parents

support, guidance and

love.Violetta is pursuing a

career in teaching mathfor grades seven throughtwelve. She realized thatmath was her callingwhen she entered Fran-cis Lewis High School.There she took two mathcourses every year justto reach her ultimate goal in taking thehighest math course available, whichwas Advanced Placement Calculus. Shedid not understand why she wanted to do

elementary school teachers. Her mother

among them was an elementary school

teacher. As a dedicated math teacher Vi-

oletta hopes to give back to the commu-

nity, by helping the children of

tomorrows future.

What do you wish for the Bukharian Jewish community?To many, being Bukharian is just a

label, but I consider it as a part of my

identity that carries my morals and be-

liefs in life. The perseverance of the

Bukharian Community is well demon-

strated in our history. We spent over two

thousand years away from our promised

land Eretz Israel and were still able to

maintain our Jewish religion and cus-

toms. I come from a traditional family and

I will take everything I learned from my

loved ones to help me in the future. I

wish for the Bukharian Jewish commu-

nity to grow and flourish. This may be

achieved through higher education, as

education is a strong foundation of ones

life. With this, many opportunities be-

come available, allowing the Bukharian

Jewish community to prosper.

Shoshana AronovShoshana Aronov is a sophomore

at Queens College. She is majoring

in Psychology and minoring in a

business program called BALA.

Shoshana is an honorable student;

she is on the Deans list. Her GPA is

3.9, while the top average is 4.0.

Shoshana chose to major in Psy-

chology because she has always found

this subject interesting and is excited to

continue to learn more about it. After

graduating from the undergraduate pro-

gram at Queens College, she hopes to

go on to the counseling program at the

graduate level. She has a great passion

to help people and believe that becom-

ing a guidance counselor will serve this

purpose.

Shoshana Aronov was born in

Navoi, Uzbekistan in 1990. At age 3, her

family moved to Israel. In 2002, the fam-

ily decided to immigrate to the United

States, a country full of opportunities.

What do you wish for the Bukharian Jewish community?

I am very proud to be a Bukharian

Jew and a part of the Bukharian com-

munity in the United States. No matter

all hardships the Bukharian people had

faced, they are still able to hold on to

their traditions and all that is important

to them. The Bukharian community has

been able to grow and become very

successful in becoming a prominent

part of America, which makes it a privi-

lege to be called a Bukharian Jew.

I believe that the Bukharian com-

munity can continue to achieve great

accomplishments, such as being able

to make a course of the history and cul-

ture of Bukharian Jews for the first time

in Queens College. I wish for the

Bukharian Jewish community that a

larger part of the younger generation

will become more involved for the serv-

ice of the community and become as

proud as I am to be engaged in the

Bukharian culture.

Rabbi Refael & Mrs. Adina Riba-

coff, Chattan & Kallah Teachers, Mar-

riage Educators, Family & Life

Coaches, Founders of Table for Two

Couple events

In the merit of the Righteous women

we were redeemed from Mitzrayim

(Egypt), and in the merit of the Righteous

women will be merit to be redeemed

again.

Who is this Righteous woman? What is her make-up?

Throughout the Torah women have

been given many different names and

jobs. She is the Ezer KeNegdo The

Helpmate of her Husband. She is his

Eishet Chayil The Woman of Valor.

She is strong yet gentle & loving. She

is tough yet caring & beautiful. She is

the mother of their children (Em HaBa-

nim Semaicha) guiding and directing

her family in the ways of Torah Obser-

vance and commitment to Mitzvot. We

are told: Not to forsake the Torah of our

Mother. The mother is the one who

FIRST imbues that love & passion for

Torah & Mitzvot in her children!

Being a mother is a great responsibi-

lity. Its not just preparing meals, doing

laundry, or putting band aids on little boo-

boos. Theres more to it than that. It also

entails being there to clean up the mess!

What does that mean? In Parshat Chu-

kat we are told about the Mitzvah of the

Red Cow. Without getting into the nuan-

ces and paradoxes, we are told that,

symbolically, the Red Cow comes to

atone for the sin of the Golden Calf. This

is to say: Let the mother come and clean

up the mess left behind by her child.

When a child does something wrong

the first person looked upon to help fix or

correct the situation is the childs mother!

But there is more. The Midrash tells

us that the women in the Generation of

the Desert were Fix-it Women. They

came to seal the breaches that were

made by the men.

What does that mean?

For example: The Torah mentions that

when Moshe delayed in coming down

from Har (Mount) Sinai, the people gathe-

red around Aharon to make for them a

god. Aharon, stalling for time (as Moshe

was to arrive the next day), requested that

the men gather the gold of the women.

But the verses go on to state that the men

removed their OWN gold and brought it to

Aharon and from there the Golden Calf

was formed. What happened to the wo-

mens gold? They NEVER gave it! The

woman did not want to have anything to

do with the Golden Calf. If anything, they

warned their husbands against it.

Another example involves the Spies

who returned from their 40 day tour of

Eretz Yisrael (Israel). They slandered

the land. The people were afraid to Go

up to the land. But it was the men who

were punished to die in the years of wan-

dering in the desert. As the Torah states

that all the men perished except for

Yehoshua Bin Nun and Calev Ben Yefu-

neh. On the contrary, the women made

every effort to acquire land in Eretz

Yisrael. The daughters of Tzelofchad re-

quested the right to inherit their fathers

portion in Eretz Yisrael. The womens

love for the land was great. They did not

believe the slanderous tales of the spies.

They did not believe the men that they

wont be able to conquer the land. Thats

why the portion in the Torah about the

daughters of Tzelofchad appears con-

nected to the death of the generation of

the desert. Their attitude was different.

This is in order to show us that the

women were Righteous and they fixed

and sealed the openings and breaches

that the men caused by their behavior.

There is an interesting story involving

the Brisker Rav. There was the custom

in the Shule of Brisk that there was a

choir by the Chazan (Cantor) during the

High Holidays. One year, some people

wanted to introduce a new concept:

the choir should be situated in a balcony

to the side. The Brisker Rav felt that this

was not proper and that it imitated the

ways of others. When the Brisker Rav

came to Shule and saw the choir in the

balcony, he ordered them to come down.

They listened and came down. When

the Gabaim of the Shule saw that their

new concept was not being followed

they ordered the choir to go back up to

the balcony and they did. Seeing what

just happened, the Brisker Rav ran up-

stairs and ordered them down again. As

soon as the choir came back down, the

Gabaim ordered them back up again.

This continued back and forth several

times. Finally, the Brisker Rav turned to

the women in the Ezrat Nashim

(Womens Section) and pleaded with

them: Holy Jewish Women, please

order your husbands to go downstairs

where they belong! The women quickly

started to yell at their husbands to listen

to the Rav and NOT to listen to the Ga-

baim. The men harkened to their wives

and stayed downstairs next to the Cha-

zan.

We see from this story that the men

were more scared of their wives than of

the Brisker Rav. They listened right

away to their wives. When it came down

to it to who did the Brisker Rav turn to

end this break of impropriety? He turned

to the Righteous Women. They contain

within themselves that sense of whats

right ands whats wrong. Hashem crea-

ted women with extra Bina Understan-

ding. Thats the Helpmate of her

husband. By sometimes going AGA-

INST her husband she is helping him ac-

hieve perfection. By fulfilling the will of

her husband which is to want to do the

right things in Torah & Mitzvot she ful-

fills her responsibility to guide her hus-

band well & properly.

My we merit the Ultimate Geula (Re-

demption) speedily in our days!

MRS. FIX ITJ U D A I S M

Dear Rabbi, I come from a family that isn't very

observant. I would like to branch awayfrom our secular ways and become morereligious. First on my agenda is to eatkosher food. However, I realize this willbe a difficult task given the fact that Idon't really want to bring any attention tomyself in my family and I'm not sure howto go about this difficult task, but I'm de-termined. Furthermore, I eventually planto learn Hebrew and attend shul regu-larly. I realize these things sound mun-dane to many observant Jews but in myfamily, they're pretty outlandish. I want tochange this and I intend to start with my-self. So I would greatly appreciate anyand all the advice you can give me.

Thank you for your question.

The first piece of advice would be to

attend synagogue and find an appro-

priate Rabbi and/or Rebbetzin to guide

you along your path to spirituality. The

road is uphill so you need some help in

case you need some extra support to

help you on your way.

Eating Kosher is a great start just

check to make sure that ANYTHING and

EVERYTHING you eat has a reputable

Kosher sign on it. (And this is without

getting into Chalav Yisrael, Pat Yisrael,

Bishul Akum, and the different kinds of

Shechita of meat and poultry).

See the following site for reliable Kos-

her symbols:

http://www.kosherquest.org/html/Re-

liable_Kosher_Symbols.htm

Now, as far as the dishes, pots and

silverware in the house are concerned

there is a problem. First they probably

need to be dipped in the Mikvah; and se-

cond they might not even be Kosher

and the whole kitchen needs to be made

Kosher (problems with meat & milk or

non-kosher items). Invest in your own

pots, dishes and silverware or use a lot

of plastic.

It might sound overwhelming at first

but dont worry once you learn, under-

stand and appreciate what its all about

life will be much more fulfilling.

Also, there are many individuals in

your situation where spending a quiet

and beautiful Shabbat at home is inter-

rupted with the rest of the family watc-

hing tv, or the family going out to a

non-kosher restaurant and you cant, etc.

The test might seem hard but remem-

ber: that Hashem only gives an individual a

test that they are able to stand by. If they fail

its only their own fault. The strength to su-

cceed is implanted within you just stay

strong and firm in your beliefs. Dont be

swayed by family or friends ridiculing you

this is just part of the test to see just how

sincere you are in your commitment to find

the truth. Hang in there when they see its

not working they will leave you alone. Not

only that, people will respect you more if you

truly stand for what you believe in - and are

not just whishy-washy about Religion.

A person is not obligated to jump into

the deep end and start fulfilling everything

right away there should be a natural pro-

gression of learning and doing. You are

held more responsible if you know and

dont do and when it comes to Biblical

commandments, ignorance is no excuse.

I would recommend that you visit any

sites that deal with Jewish Orthodoxy:

http://www.njop.org/

http://www.aish.com/

They have wonderful classes, lectu-

res and articles on a wide range of sub-

jects to help you.

Also, check out any Jewish bookstore

for a wide range of books on any sub-

ject. There are audio and video tapes on

a wide variety of subjects as well.

If you have any further question

please feel free to ask!

Good luck!

By: Yulianna

YAGOUDAEVA

My name is Yulianna Yagoudaeva.

I was born on May 30, 1990 to Albert

Yagoudaev and Alla Biniaminova. My

Hebrew name is Yushuoh bat Hanna.

This is my family tree.

My last name Yagoudaeva pro-

nounced Yah-Good-Ah-Yeva, comes

from the Hebraic origins of Yehuda.

When I began my search of my earliest

family roots my search led me into

Kokand, Uzbekistan. My grandmother,

Froza Mosheyeva-Biniaminova, was

born there and her great-grandfather,

Yuhanan Rayhoni Bulbul Yagoudaev

lived there as far back into history as my

family knows. I shall begin my family tree

from him.

It is estimated that Rayhon was born

in 1843 and died in 1936. He was a story

teller and a very well known personality

in his hometown. He was married to

Hanna Yagoudaev, it is unfortunate but

nobody seems to know of her maiden

name and there seems to be no record

of it, if I have time in the future, I will

gather more research on her. But for the

purposes of this time line her last name

is Yagoudaeva and her birth and death is

unknown. What is known

about this couple is that

they had 10 children, 3 of

whom died very young. In

no specific order because

the dates are debatable

these are their children:

Bahmal (1894-1984);

Bulor (1887-1959); Chini

(1888-1965); Ilusha (1886-

1963); Sarah (1893-1865);

Mazol (1904-1994); Yosef

(1909-1989). The names

of the three other siblings

are Manashe, Efraim, and

the last one is unknown.

The interesting irony

and perhaps the traditions

of the past are eluded in

the following. Bulor and

Sarah were sisters. Each

married very young. Bulor

married when she was 11

years old and her hus-

band, Rafael (1860-1936)

was 30. They had 10 chil-

dren. Sarah was 13 when

she wed her husband,

Abraham Davidov (1887-

1957).

These are Bulor and

Rafaels children. Man-

ashe [no record because

he died young]; Efraim [1909-1992];

Mamon [1905-1945]; Nison [1907-1997];

Zilpo [1913-1975]; Mikhail [1923-1997];

Lyuba [1923-Still Alive] {twins}; Isaac

[1926-1990]. Two children died in child-

birth.

Sarah and Abraham had 5 children,

and 4 children whom they lost at birth.

Yelizaveta [1917-1979]; Yasha (Meyer)

[1919-1965]; Mordechai [1923-2009];

Nadia [1926-1990]; Zoya [1936-Still

Alive].

Here is where my personal story con-

tinues, Bulors son Mamon Rafaelovich

Musheyev [1905-1945] married his

cousin, Sarahs daughter Yelizaveta

Abramova Davydova [1917-1979], and

Sarahs son Yasha (Meyer) Yagoudaev

[1919-1965] [he took his grandmothers

last name, otherwise he wouldve been

Davydov] married my paternal grand-

mother Zinaida Haimova Yagoudaeva

[1927-2007]. My family is inter-related.

Yelizaveta and Mamon had 4 chil-

dren. Tamara [1934-1997]; Yaffa [1936--

-]; Maya [1938-1939]; and Froza

[1940---]. Froza is my grandmother.

Mamon was a soldier in the front fighting

for USSR in WWII. He sent a telegram in

1945 claiming that the war was over and

that he was preparing his papers to re-

turn home to his wife and children. Sev-

eral months after that telegram,

Yelizaveta received notice that Mamon

was brutally murdered in his cabin by the

neo-nazis. He would never return home.

He was buried in the German cemetery

at Grasfeld. Forty years after the war,

Froza traveled to Grasfeld, Germany and

found his grave. It was the first one in the

lot. Froza is a hero for traveling on her

own into a foreign country where Jews

were not exactly welcomed. But she did

it because she had sworn to her

passing mother that she would one

day find her father. She had never

met her father because she was

born only when he had already left

for the war. There are pictures doc-

umenting her epic visit. One day in

the near future I plan to retrace her

footsteps and find this cemetery as

well.

Froza married Boris Biniaminov

[1937---]. Boris is the son of Daniel

Matatovich Benyaminov [Hasid]

[1914-2005] and Tamara Yusupov

[1915-2008].

Daniel and Tamara had four

children. Boris (Bahor) [1937--];

Yahudo (Yura) [1938--]; Yakov

[1940---]; and Yelizaveta [1950--].

My great-grandfather and I had a

wonderful relationship. I was the

only great-grandchild out of approx-

imately 30 great-grandchildren

whom was allowed to call him

Bobo. He and my great-grand-

mother lived an incredible life to-

gether. When he came back from

the war, he didnt have any money,

any place to call home, but he had

a wife and 3 boys to support. Imme-

diately he found work and a kind

woman by the name of Yushuoh

Haimov, gave the family a house to

live in. Several decades later these

two families would become even more re-

lated because Daniels granddaughter

Alla (my mother) would marry Yushuohs

grandson (Albert (Garik) Yagoudaev) [my

father].

For inquiry purposes, Yahudo mar-

ried Nellya Pakanayeva and they had 4

children, one of whom is the renowned

musician Yuhan [1962].

My grandparents, Boris and Froza

had two children, Larisa [1965---] and

Alla [1969---]. Alla is my mother.

My mother married my father Albert

(Garik) Yagoudaev [1964--]. My father is

the son of Yasha (Meyer) Yagoudaev and

Zinaida Haimov. My father has one sister,

Antonina Yagoudaeva-Zavlunova [1960-

-].

My paternal grandmother passed

away a few years ago and I was not able

to learn much about her family. What I do

know is that her parents were Mikhail

Haimov [1887- 1953] and Yushuoh

Kalendaeva Haimov [1900-1990]. She

had two siblings Yosef Haimov [1919-

1942] and Tamara Haimov [1921-1984].

These are the basics of who my rela-

tives are, where I come from in the literal

sense. The accompanying map adds a

few more people, whom are close rela-

tives.

This project was an incredible expe-

rience for me because even though I

knew the majority of my relatives there

were many minor details that I was not

familiar with and having conversations

with relatives helped me to understand

who I am and where I come from. I heard

this quote a few days ago and it attrib-

utes to my family, those who survive the

past, own the future. The future is mine,

and I have very big plans!

Shoista (Shoshana)

Mullodzhanova (September 3,1925 June 25, 2010), was a

renowned Bukharian Jewish singer.

She won many awards and titles in

her career including the prestigious

"People's Artist of the Republic of

Tajikistan". She had a seven decade

career in music, from 1941 until her

death in 2010. To this day, she is re-

garded as one of the greatest singers

of the USSR and of Tajikistan and her

recordings are still preserved in the

archives of Tajikistan. Mullodzhanova

was one of the founders of contempo-

rary Tajik music and was often re-

ferred to as the "Queen of

Shashmaqom Music" and as the

"Daughter of Tajikistan.

Her nephew, Yudik Mullodzhanov, is

a singer, and her niece, Rosa Mul-

lodzhanova, is known as an "Honored

Artist of Tajikistan".

Early life

She was born in Dushanbe, Tajikistan

to a religious Bukharian Jewish family. Her

mother, Sivyo Davydova, was from

Samarkand and her father, Ruben Mul-

lodzhanov, originally came from Bukhara.

Her family traces its ancestry to an aristo-

cratic Levite tribe that had been performing

and entertaining since the time of the First

and Second Temple in Jerusalem.

Her family was full of entertainers (ac-

tors, singers, and musicians), so singing

was in her blood. In 1924, her parents and

older siblings (Ribi, Levi, Isakhar, Roshel,

Zulai) moved from Uzbekistan to Tajikistan,

where Shoista was born a year later. Her

mother was also a singer and her whole

family was into music and acting. She grad-

uated from the Stalinabad Women's Peda-

gogical School in 1943 and studied at the

Moscow Conservatory from 1947 to 1953.

Career

Mullodzhanova had her debut at age 8

when she sang on Dushanbe radio. During

the beginning of her career, in the early

1940s, she was part of the Rubab Player

Ensemble in Tajikistan's Ensemble. With

this ensemble, in 1945, she sang in Iran

for the royal family of Iran and the Shah,

the Pahlavis including Reza Shah the

Great, and for the Iranian audience in Per-

sian language. She was also named "Mer-

ited Artist of Tajikistan" at the age of 20.By the mid-1940s, Mullodzhanova

broke away from the ensemble andbegan to sing solo. After graduating cumlaude from Moscow Conservatory in1953, she performed at the Aini Theaterfor Opera and Ballet. The roles that shedeveloped there include Mahin in Tohir vaZuhro by A. Lenskii; Gulizor in ShurishiVose (The Vose Uprising) by S. Balasan-ian; Marfa in Arusi Shoh (The Bride of theKing) by Rimsky-Korsakov, and others.

Through the years, she sang Shash-

maqom music throughout Central Asia,

Middle East, and the Soviet Union, and

made a wonderful living. She was named

the "People's Artist of Tajikistan", in 1957.

From the mid-1950s to the

mid-1970s, she was a

soloist vocalist for the Tajik

State Philharmonic. Mul-

lodzhanova sang music of

all other Soviet republics

and of Eastern people. In

1975, she was named sen-

ior instructor at the Tajik-

istan State Institute of Arts. In addition to being a

People's Artist, she re-ceived the Order of Lenin,the Red Banner of Labor,two Order of the Badge ofHonor, four medals, and theHonorary Order of the Pre-sidium of the Supreme So-viet of Tajikistan and otherrepublics. In the 1980s,Mullodzhanova earned areputation for being theQueen of Tajik Music. Shesang in Central Asia and allover the former SovietUnion for 50 years.

Personal life and later career

Mullodzhanova was married to Efrem

Haritonovich Benyaev from 1946 until his

death in 1999. They had three children:

Anna (lives in Forest Hills, NY), Negmat

(doctor of science, based in Moscow),

and Sofia (doctor based in Austria). In

1991, Shoista and her family moved from

Central Asia to the United States be-

cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union

and the start of the civil war and rise of

Islamic fundamentalism in Tajikistan. The

family settled in Forest Hills, New York.

After immigrating to New York, Mul-

lodzhanova joined the Bukharan Ensem-

ble, founded by Fatima Kuinova, "Merited

Artist of Tajikistan". After her husband,

Efrem Haritonovich Benyaev, died, she

dedicated an album in his memory. In

September 2005, in Forest Hills High

School, Mullodzhanova came out to sing

for a crowd of audience who all came to

celebrate her 80th birthday. Aged 80 she

was able to touch people with her singing

and remind them that she is singing for

each and every one of them, as she al-

ways said "I am singing for you!"

The Bukharian Jewish Congress of

the USA and Canada published a biog-

raphy about Shoista Mullodzhanova, en-

titled "Born to Sing" by musicologist

Rafael Nektalov, a documentary was

also filmed about the legendary singer.

In March 2008, Mullodzhanova per-

formed at the Golden Ilyas Awards Cer-

emony singing "Ey Dukhtari Nozanini

Qadras" (Persian for "Hey, Beautiful Girl,

All Grown Up) and received an award.

The concert was held in honor of

renowned Bukharian Jewish poet, musi-

cian, and playwright, Ilyas Malayev.

On June 26, 2010, Mullodzhanova

died after suffering a heart attack in For-

est Hills, New York, three months before

her 85th birthday. Soon after, the people

of Tajikistan heard this and the following

day the President Emomali Rahmon sent

a message to the United States express-

ing his condolence to the relatives of this

legendary singer.
