People named Jacob tennenwurcel

Jacob grew up with his daddy Moshe. He had very wise stories to tell to people at various gatherings. Jacob studied at the Yeshiva where he took a trip with a postman type job to Kiev to deliver a parcel. He met his future wife, Pnina, at a letter store in Kiev, Ukraine and stayed there for three months getting to know Pnina. World War II broke out and Jacob was called to serve in the Russian army where he left Pnina in Kiev. As the Germans rolled through Europe, Jacob fought in Russia to hold back the Germans and spoke of how he would drink vodka at night in the bitter cold nights to stay alive. After the war, where many of his family members were brutally murdered in death camps, he returned to Kiev to try and find Pnina where he eventually did and they married soon after. Jacob and his wife Pnina spent two years in Russia at refugee camps where they eventually immigrated to Israel after the war. They had four children together, Moses, Yechiel, Yosi, and Hayuta. He passed in Ontario, Canada where he was hit by a drunk driver crossing the road.

Jacob was born in Lublin(?) Poland and had four sons Eliezer, Shmuel Chaim and Yechiel (Chil in Polish?). Among them were Moshe, who is in the middle of the picture listed and eleven others. Jacob died sometime around March 1897 in Jerusalem. Yechiel had seven children: four sons, three daughters. The sons Itzchak, Herschel, Simcha, and Moshe. The daughters: Rivka Chaya, Chava. Moshe Tenne root (? Tenenwurcel) had a child: Jakov (or Jakub or Ya'akov). He was our father. Moshe Mother was Kreindel. His wife was (at least officially) Rachel Feingold or Fajngold in Polish. Jacob started our his career as a dentist (?) and then became a lawyer (?) until eventually established grainaries. He became very wealthy and upon his later years in life, about three years before he passed on into heaven, he embarked on a pilgrimate to Jerusalem where he then donated his entire fortune (~9 billion) to help establish Mea Shearim מאה שערים in Jerusalem by puchasing the land in 1894 and establishing a trust that the rest of his money would go to the poor Jews who live in Jerusalem coming from Poland.
