Benjamin Rabinovitch (Spektor)

It is to be noted that the Rav's family name was Spektor. It was common at that time to change one's name in Russia, having to do with military draft exemptions and regulatiions. The name Rabinovitch/ Rabinowitz, which the sons adopted, means "son of the Rabbi" (see Shimoff, biography of Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Spektor).

In 1872 he married Deborah, daughter of R' Eliyahu Baer of Memmel.
