Biographical Note

Hadassah Yanich Plaut, the wife of Rabbi Walter Plaut, was the daughter of Neḥama Yanich.

Neḥama Yanich, née Lazarovsky was born in Novogrudok (Navahrudak, Belarus), the daughter of Eliezer Dov and Rachel (?) Lazarovsky. As a girl of 14, Neḥama moved to Glasgow, Scotland, to be near her brother Natan. He had changed his name to Nathan Morris and his sister assumed the name Anne Morris. In the 1920s, Anne Morris married Herschel Zvi Yachnitz from David-Horodok, Belarus, and the couple moved to Detroit, Michigan, where they changed their last name to Yanich.
