About Malka Dubrovsky

 In the early 1930s Masha(Slepak)’s parents took the children on visits to the grandparents, and Masha remembers Jewish folk prints on the walls and the warm smells of special foods for Sabbaths and festivals. Her grandmother lit candles on Friday evenings; her grandfather(Gersh) conducted the Passover Seder. The family gathered around the big dinner table for the Sabbath. At the head sat her grandfather; next to him his mother, Baba Malka; on the other side, his wife; then his children and grandchildren. Each knew exactly his or her place at the table. Then the blessing over the wine, the washing of the hands, the blessing over the bread, the scents, the food, the Sabbath songs, the Grace After Meals. She still remembers all those visits to the grandparents. And standing in the road alone one day in front of her grandparents’ house, spinning her arms, and her grandfather calling out in Yiddish—he also spoke Ukrainian but could barely read Russian—“Hey, windmill, stop spinning your arms, you haven’t gained a gram of fat, what am I going to tell your mother?”

О Малке Дубровской (русский)

у нее было 9-10 детей. видимо 3-4 умерло в детстве.

По преданию, жила 105(6) ,115) лет. Не соответствует документам.(83) плюс, так бы она родила первого сына в 1865. (в 47!) а последнего в 1883, в 65! )

Упоминается в книге Хаима Потока "Начало ноября" о семье Слепак. 

Внуки, в тайне от Гершеля(сына ее, который требовал к ней большого уважение) , называли ее Баба hэпа. Потому что она могла чихать очень долго "Хэп-Хэп-Хэп!"

Жила в конце жизни со своим 2-м сыном Гершом, а умерла и видимо жила последние годы в 1931-32 в доме у младшего сына Муня - Гдаля . Возможно, до смерти старшего сына Элиеэзара , при погромах 1920, жила с ним.
