Daniel Fingold

Son of Yechiel Tennenwurcel. Moshe studied the Torah all his life and spent much of his time in prayer. At the onset of WWII, his son Jakob begged him to leave Poland because Jacob knew that the Germans were coming. Moshe refused and was taken into the concentration camps where later was murdered.

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.
