| Yehiel Beinush HaCohen | |
|---|---|
| Born |
c. 1850[1] In or near Vilnius, Lithuania |
| Children | Sarah Myrtle Caplan[2] |
A document of Nancy Robins' lists Sarah Myrtle Caplan's father as "Reb Harav Yehiel Beinush HaCohen"[3]. "Reb" is sometimes an honorific title, and "Harav" means "the Rabbi". Given that Vilnius was an extremely important center of Jewish culture in the 19th century, Yeheil, being a rabbi there, was likely a well-known and important person.
