<p>Come at 6:30 pm to ask your questions of our experts.</p>
<p>Program begins at 7 pm at the AACI Glassman Family Center, 37 Pierre Koenig/2 Poalei Tzedek, Talpiot.  Topic: “Children, Childhood and Life Cycle Rituals in Medieval and Early Modern Ashkenaz”.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Many genealogical researchers regret not getting important information from relatives when they had the opportunity to do so. Now, here’s a chance to “listen in” on many aspects of family life going back in time to the 16<sup>th</sup> -18<sup>th</sup> centuries.  What did they think then about children and their role in the family and larger community.  Additional topics include the roles of women and girls; lifelong relationships between grown children and their parents; daily rituals in the home; developments in the Jewish educational system; life cycle events; the “wimple” and the unique Ashkenazi custom “hollekreisch”.  Plan to join us for a chance to be a “fly on the wall” and overhear about family patterns, customs and lifestyles in days gone by.  This is an opportunity to connect some of the dots with various customs and traditions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our presenter for this special program is Tali Berner, PhD. She has a doctorate in Jewish History from Hebrew University, specializes in Childhood Studies and Early Modern Ashkenazi Culture and is on the faculty of Tel Aviv University.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="RTL" align="center"><strong>שם המשפחה מויאל </strong><strong>(Moyal)</strong><strong></strong></p>
<p dir="RTL" align="center"><strong>מטילדה א. טג&#8217;ר</strong></p>
<p dir="RTL">באמצע המאה ה19 עלתה לארץ משפחת מויאל ממרוקו ובהמשך נמנתה בין המשפחות הספרדיות הבולטות של הישוב במאה ה-19 ותחילת המאה ה-20. בירושלים פיתחו את כלכלה של ארץ ישראל משפחת אמזלג, אלישר, ואלירו, מיוחס ונבון ואילו ביפו פעלו באותו הכיוון משפחות שלוש ומויאל וזאת בעזרת פיתוח קשרי מסחר בינלאומיים, בנקים וקשרים דיפלומטיים<a title="" href="http://genealogy.org.il/Documents%20and%20Settings/user/My%20Documents/IGRA/Articles%20and%20correspondence/MOYAL-IGRA%20Mathilde%20master.doc#_ftn1">[1]</a>.</p>
<p dir="RTL"> במאמר זה לא נדון בתולדות המשפחות האלה אלא נתמקד בשמות  שלהן.</p>
<p dir="RTL">אלישר, מיוחס, נבון ושלוש הם שמות עבריים מובנים לכל. השם ואלירו מקורו בשם עיירה בספרד El Valero הנמצאת במחוז העיר Albacete שבאיזור קסטילה-לה מאנצ&#8217;ה. לגבי השם אמזלאג, גם כאן אין סוד. השם ממקור ברברי(דרום מרוקו) ופירושו בשפה זאת &#8220;עושה חבלים&#8221;.  לעומת אלה מה מקורו ופירושו של השם מויאל?</p>
<p dir="RTL"> השם מויאל היה נפוץ במרוקו וגם בחלקה המערבי של אלג&#8217;יריה. מואיל היה גם שמו של סב סבי מצד אמי, הרב אהרן מויאל שהגיע לעיר הבירה אלג&#8217;יר מעיר הנמל ספי Safi שבמרוקו, שם נולד ב1799. הוא הקים משפחה בעיר ווהראן Oran שבאלג&#8217;יריה. כך נולד הסבא רבא שלי משה מויאל ב-1843 וסבי, אהרן מויאל ב-1877.  אינני יודעת אם יש קשר כל שהוא בין משפחתי לבין משפחת מויאל שהתיישבה ביפו, אך השם אהרן חוזר בשני הצדדים.</p>
<p dir="RTL"> <a href="http://genealogy.org.il/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/morocco-map-1-2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1042" src="http://genealogy.org.il/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/morocco-map-1-2-300x195.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="195" /></a></p>
<p dir="RTL">כתיבו העברי הוא מואיל ונגזרותיו הן אמויאל או בן מויאל. ואילו כתיביו וצורותיו הלועזיים של השם הם:MUYAL, MOYAL MOUYAL, AMOYAL,MOYAL BEN</p>
<p dir="RTL">קובע אייזבת<a title="" href="http://genealogy.org.il/Documents%20and%20Settings/user/My%20Documents/IGRA/Articles%20and%20correspondence/MOYAL-IGRA%20Mathilde%20master.doc#_ftn2">[2]</a> כי מדובר בעיוות של השם עמיאל התנכ&#8221;י (במדבר 13:12). לעומתו, טוען לארידו<a title="" href="http://genealogy.org.il/Documents%20and%20Settings/user/My%20Documents/IGRA/Articles%20and%20correspondence/MOYAL-IGRA%20Mathilde%20master.doc#_ftn3">[3]</a> כי השם הוא שמה של העיירה Moya באיזור  Cuenca או שמו של כפר באיזור Lugo, שניהם בספרד. מצדו, כותב טלידנו<a title="" href="http://genealogy.org.il/Documents%20and%20Settings/user/My%20Documents/IGRA/Articles%20and%20correspondence/MOYAL-IGRA%20Mathilde%20master.doc#_ftn4">[4]</a> כי, לפי המסורת שבעל פה שבמשפחה, מקור השם הוא המלה הספרדיתmuy  שפירושה: מאד, רב &#8211; תואר שהוענק בימי הביניים לראש קהילת ברצלונה במטרה להצביע על חשיבותו הרבה. טולידנו מביא אפשרות נוספת: מויאל נגזר מ&#8221;מוהל.</p>
<p dir="RTL">במילונו הביוגרפי של רבני מרוקו &#8220;מלכי רבנן&#8221;<a title="" href="http://genealogy.org.il/Documents%20and%20Settings/user/My%20Documents/IGRA/Articles%20and%20correspondence/MOYAL-IGRA%20Mathilde%20master.doc#_ftn5">[5]</a>, מאית המחבר, יוסף בן-נאים, את השמו של הרב &#8220;בן מויאל&#8221;, ללא זכר לאות &#8220;עין&#8221; ההתחלתית של &#8220;עמיאל&#8221;. גם ב&#8221;מלכי ישורון&#8221;<a title="" href="http://genealogy.org.il/Documents%20and%20Settings/user/My%20Documents/IGRA/Articles%20and%20correspondence/MOYAL-IGRA%20Mathilde%20master.doc#_ftn6">[6]</a> רשום השם באותה הצורה. אין כל אפשרות שתעלם האות &#8220;עין&#8221; בשם עמיאל כאשר נשתמר בקפידה מרובה כתיבם העברי של כל השמות התנכיים במרוקו.</p>
<p dir="RTL">כדי להפוך את תואר הפועלmuy  (מוי) למויאל, נוספה הסיומת  alשלא קיימת בשפה הספרדית אלא אם כן שתי האותיות האלה הנן חלק אינטגראלי של המלה<a title="" href="http://genealogy.org.il/Documents%20and%20Settings/user/My%20Documents/IGRA/Articles%20and%20correspondence/MOYAL-IGRA%20Mathilde%20master.doc#_ftn7">[7]</a>. בנוסף, רק אל המלך פנו בתואר <em>muy alto</em> , דהיינו &#8220;רם מאד&#8221;. אי לכך לא סביר שראש קהילה יהודית יקבל תואר דומה וזאת באווירה האנטישמית מאד ששררה אז בספרד. מסוכן מדי! זאת כנראה עוד הגדה ש&#8221;הומצאה&#8221; ע&#8221;י המגורשיפ מסרד.</p>
<p dir="RTL">בבדיקה של כחמש מאות ספרים ומאמרים  על היהודים בספרד עד לגירושם ביולי 1492<a title="" href="http://genealogy.org.il/Documents%20and%20Settings/user/My%20Documents/IGRA/Articles%20and%20correspondence/MOYAL-IGRA%20Mathilde%20master.doc#_ftn8">[8]</a>, נמצאו שמות משפחה שאיותם קרוב למויאל חילקנו אותם לשלוש קבוצות. אך יאמר במאמר מוסגר  כי התעודות הארכיוניות הספרדיות מימי הביניים, כתובות ביד בלטינית, ספרדית או קטלאנית. ככלל, כתיבם של השמות לא היה אחיד וקבוע ואלה נרשמו כפי ששמעו אותם הפקידים הסופרים או הנוטריונים, כולם נוצרים.לא פעם נמצאו בתעודה אחת שנים או שלושה כתיבים שונים של אותו שם. עושה רושם שגם היהודים לא שמו לב לעובדה זאת. מכאן ריבוי הכתיבים.</p>
<p dir="RTL">להלן שלוש הקבוצות:</p>
<ol>
<li>AMIEL, AMIELL, AMIELO, AMIELLOS, AMIYL, AMYLLO, UMIEL.</li>
<li>DE MOYA, DE MOYO</li>
<li>ABEN MUYEL BEN MAUL, DE MAUYEL</li>
</ol>
<p dir="RTL">המקור &#8220;עמיאל&#8221; ברור בקבוצה הראשונה. ניתן להסביר את כתיבתו של U במקום A בUMIEL: הסיכוי הגדול הוא שזהו עיוות שנגרם כתוצאה מתעתיק מוטעה של האות הגרונית &#8220;עין&#8221;.</p>
<p dir="RTL">הקבוצה השניה מורה על המקום Moya – טענתו של לארידו – בעיקר עם הקידומת De המרמזת על המקור &#8220;ממויאה&#8221;</p>
<p dir="RTL">מתקבל על הדעת שהקבוצה השלישית משתייכת לשם מויאל.</p>
<p dir="RTL">נתייחס עתה להצעת טולידנו: מויאל  נובע ה&#8221;מוהל&#8221;. בספרדית של ימי הביניים, לעתים כתבו את האות (ה) H כ-  Y (יוד), כך נתקלנו ב- Abraym עבור אברהם<a title="" href="http://genealogy.org.il/Documents%20and%20Settings/user/My%20Documents/IGRA/Articles%20and%20correspondence/MOYAL-IGRA%20Mathilde%20master.doc#_ftn9">[9]</a>) ולסרוגין, התעלמו מן האות H כמו <a title="" href="http://genealogy.org.il/Documents%20and%20Settings/user/My%20Documents/IGRA/Articles%20and%20correspondence/MOYAL-IGRA%20Mathilde%20master.doc#_ftn10">[10]</a>Coen ולא Cohen. יש לקחת בחשבון עובדה חשובה נוספת. נקבע כתיבו של השם מויאל Moyal ע&#8221;י הצרפתים לאחר כיבוש אלג&#8217;יריה ב-1830 בו בזמן שבשפה היהודית-ערבית של האיזור נשמע השם קרוב יותר ל-Muyel . מקור הגירסה Amoyal המקובלת במרוקו בקיבוץ הקידומת Aben או בהי הידיעה הערבית Al המקובצת לA. ערוב העברית והערבית באותו שם היה תופעה שכיחה בספרד של ימי הביניים.</p>
<p dir="RTL">לסיכום, גבוה הסיכוי ש&#8221;מוהל&#8221;  הוא מקורו של השם מויאל והשאלה שתישאר כנראה ללא מענה היא: &#8220;האם תמצאנה אי פעם בספרד הוכחות כי המויאל הראשון היה אכן מוהל?&#8221;.</p>

<p>The following are examples from <em>Davar</em> <a href="#fn1">[i]</a>– published in Eretz Israel from 1925 through 1996. The following examples are from the period of the Mandate Government through the late sixties when many people in Israel did not have telephones.</p>
<ul>
<li>The newspaper would publish lists of people who had subscriptions but no longer lived at the address they had given for the paper to be delivered. The “old” address is given in the ad, with the request that anyone who knows the person’s current address to please inform the newspaper.</li>
<li><em>Liskat Ha’avodah Jerusalem</em> (Employment Bureau in Jerusalem) published lists of people whose address was not known and people could receive the letter at the branch of <em>Davar</em>after paying 20 mil.</li>
<li>People who received citizenship and were requested to pick up their documents from the government office.</li>
<li>Someone who lost his passport, put an ad in the newspaper with information about the passport, and</li>
<li>Request to appear in court for a trial, because the person’s address was unknown.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Land Registries of the Mandate</strong></p>
<p>During the years 1929 through 1932 the Mandate government was engaged in correcting or/and updating the land registries for various settlements. The government office in charge published various lists of people that they requested to submit a claim<a href="#fn1">[ii]</a>. These lists included people not living in that settlement, companies or institution that had bought plots of land, people for whom they had no address and for the heirs of people who had died. These announcements were published for the following settlements:  Beer Tuvyia, Beer Ya’aqov, Ein Hai (Kefar Melal), Ein-Ganim, Gedera, Kefar Saba, Nes Ziona, Petah Tikva, Rehovot, Rishon le-Zion, Sarona, Wihelma and some Arab settlements.</p>
<div id="attachment_888" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://genealogy.org.il/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/1932_gedera-art2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-888  " src="http://genealogy.org.il/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/1932_gedera-art2-300x147.jpg" alt="1932 Gedera Land Registry Notice" width="300" height="147" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">1932 Gedera Land Registry Notice</p></div>
<p>Based on the examples, you can see the importance of widening your search for genealogical information and not limiting it to information on birth, marriage and death only.  Every time a new database or collection of newspapers or government publications becomes available for your area of interest, it is worth doing a search! The information that you discover may lead you to open a new path of discovery.</p>
