Sutzkever Smorgon!

Abraham Sutzkever

My father just sent me this link, suggesting that we may possibly be related to this mench. As I have recently named my 3 day old son Abraham, after my paternal grandfather Abraham Simon. Just to be clear, my great grandfather changed the family name from Sutzkever to Simon when he came to America in early 1900's. While the late great Abe Simon was not a nerd in anyway(sometimes it skips a generation or three), it pleases me to think that my son Abe, may be yet another in a long line of Jewish nerds from Smorgon!
