OCHBERG DESCENDANTS COMMUNAL KADDIS – After the Russian Revolution, Isaac Ochberg was instrumental in bringing some 200 Jewish Orphans to South Africa. On 9 December at the Great Park shul, Joburg descendants of those orphans will have the opportunity to bring merit to the Neshama of “Daddy Ochberg” by saying Kaddish for him on his Yohrtzeit at Ma’ariv.
