Jewish Temple Jerusalem

Jewish Temple Jerusalem

I just found out I am a Levite! I was told by my cousin Ludlmila Fromchenko, the daughter of my mother Ninel Berger’s brother Igor Fromchenko that my great grandfather Isaac Fromchenko was a Levite with last name Levin which he changed to Fromchenko because he would have been called if he did not change the name during the Russian Pogroms in Ukraine. But in Judaism the tribe is determined by the father’s side. So I called my uncle Michael Berger, the brother of my father Vilem Berger, and he told me I am a Levite.

I always felt I am a Levite but did not exactly knew it until I found out. I always knew that I am a servant of God, Amein. Now I have to server Hashem in the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem! Baruch Hashem, Amein
