Rakishker Society




   The Rakiskher Sick Benefit and Loan Society was founded in Johannesburg between 1912 and 1914.  There is a great description of the founding, its purpose, its founding members and rules and regulations in the Rokiskis Memorial Book.  You can read the specifics in the translated copy on the JewishGen Yizkor Book Project site, starting on page 452.
