Comments
Russian communal leader; born 1802; died in Minsk March 7, 1872; son of Ḥayyim ha-Kohen, rabbi of Ostrog, Volhynia (d. 1839), and great-grandson of R. Ḥayyim ha-kohen Rapoport of Slutsk and Lemberg. He married into a wealthy family of Minsk, where he settled. His extensive Talmudic knowledge and his piety did not prevent him from sympathizing with the progressive movement for the spread of secular knowledge among the Jews of Russia, and he encouraged Dr. Lilienthal, who visited Minsk on his tour through Russia in 1842. In 1856 he was chosen a member of the rabbinical commission which met the following year in St. Petersburg to discuss Jewish affairs. He and his brother Jacob, rabbi of Ostrog, published their father's "Mayim Ḥayyim" (Jitomir, 1857-58). Jekuthiel left two sons, Jacob of Warsaw and Wolf of Minsk (d. 1898), and three daughters, one of whom married Israel Meisels, rabbi of Siedlce.
