Jehudah married twice; the name of the second wife is unknown. He was an overseer for some property owned by the Czar or perhaps other nobility. Jehudah was lynched by Bolsheviks, according to Bernard Feldman, in either 1918 or 1919. The Encyclopedia of Jewish Life states in its article about Luginy: "On 2 Jan 1918, soldiers looted Jewish stores. They were confronted by armed Jewish self-defense forces when they returned a second time. In the resulting clash, a number of Jewish fighters were killed or wounded." There was also a pogrom in 1919, which was probably when Jehudah was murdered.
