Regina Posnansky

Married in the mid-1930’s in Palestine. Lived in Palestine and then in Bronx, NY. Regina (Rivka Chaya) was born in 1904 in Kalusz and was apparently named after Tzvi Hersh’s paternal grandmother. Regina was the big sister who always stuck up for her brother Yehuda Yitzchak. After being under the care of her aunt Brane after her mother Manche passed away, she and Yehuda Yizchak attended Hachshara in Germany and came to Palestine in the late 1920s. She and Aryeh did not find life easy there (she worked at Tnuva among other places and he in agriculture) and they immigrated to the US with Danny in 1940. Manja recalls that they and the Sterns worked very hard during the years she was growing up.
