About :
Jews did not use surnames until the 18th century, when almost all European countries began to assign surnames en masse to both Jews and other citizens. This was caused by the need for Russia, Austria-Hungary, the German principalities and other countries to keep a complete population census for tax collection and recruitment. As a rule, surnames were given based on the parents' names: Aizikson (son of Aizik), Basin (son of Basya) or the name of a settlement: Shklovsky (Shklov), Brodsky (Brody). Quite often, surnames arose based on profession: Khayat (Tailor). However, each ethnic group of Jews has its own peculiarities regarding the emergence of surnames. At Alexander Razgon's lecture, listeners will learn how and why Jewish surnames arose, and how the surnames of Eastern European Jews reflected their communal, religious and educational life. Alexander Razgon was born in Moscow, graduated from the journalism department of Moscow University, and worked in the central press. In Israel since 1988, after eight years of trying to leave the USSR (including three years of "refusal"). During these years, he was involved in the illegal Jewish press. He published four periodicals himself and was a literary editor for several more. In Israel, he initially worked in the printed press (daily and weekly periodicals), then founded and ran for 11 years the first video information site "We Are Israel" on the Internet, dedicated to the life of the Russian-speaking community of the country (today it is the arazgon1 channel on YouTube). Recently, he has been involved in documentary filmmaking. In 1988, Alexander Razgon was invited to process the archive of Nachum Tsemakh, the founder of the Habima Theater. Based on his correspondence with Miriam Goldina, his wife, an actress at the same theater, he made a play; three years ago, it was staged in St. Petersburg.
