Life in the Old Country
According to Reuben's brother Eli's naturalization papers, Eli was born in the town of Sivenzian in the Russian Empire (present day Azerbaijan)[8]. (User:Jim.lindstrom: I assume Eli was born in the same place.) According to a paper Nancy Robins has, Reuben was born in Baku (now Azerbajan) in 1878.
Edwin Robinson recounts, "Father Nathan had sent Reuben to Vilna for rabbinical studies as this was the cultural center of eastern Europe. Apparently Eli and another brother Moishe ended up there. It is not known if Nathan (a rabbi) ever resided there."[9] (User:Jim.lindstrom: I assume Reuben moved to Vilus when he was around 18.) Alternatively: "Reuben and brother Eli came to Vilna from Baku around 1895 (and maybe others including his widowed mother– this is just my speculation)."[10]
Reuben married Sarah HaCohen in Vilna in 1898. Reuben and Sarah have their first child, Nathan (Nussan) in 1899.[11] According to Nancy, "One thing we know is that Reuben’s father was also named Nathan (Nussan). In Jewish tradition, of course, children are named in honor of a dead relative. So certainly Reuben’s (natural) father was dead by then, and fits with the possibility that Reuben’s mother had remarried."
Before immigrating, Eli's last place of residence, in 1906, was Vilus (Vilna, Vilnius)[12] in what is now Lithuania. According to a 1897 census, Vilus had a total population of 154,500, out of which Jews constituted 64,000 (41% percent)[13].
Biography
Reuben's parents were Nathan Rabinovich and Esther Schulman. Nathan and Esther were each other's 2nd marriages, and each had kids from the first marriage. Reuben's wife Sarah Myrtle Caplan was his step-sister. (Presumably, Reuben, Moishe, Eli and Dora, who kept the Rabinovich name were children of Nathan, and Sarah was a child of Esther.) For unknown reasons, Sarah and Reuben were forced to marry, even though Sarah had a boyfriend at the time. Sarah was extremely unhappy about this. After raising eight kids together, Sarah and Reuben separated. Sarah's two daughters (Rose and Esther, neither of whom ever married) took Sarah to Washington, D.C., with them when they went there to find work. (Esther became extremely paranoid and had many cats.)
