Joseph Ber Tenenbaum

"From 1880 onwards, there was an organised congregation in Chorostkow, headed by an 11-member Council. From 1880 to 1905, its chairman was Moshe Weisselberg; from 1905 to 1910, Herschel Foigel; from 1910 to 1914, Shimon Mihlrad; from 1914 to 1918, Yaakov Moishe Frisch; from 1918 to 1928, Pinchas Hochmann, a mill-owner); and from 1928 to 1935, Asher Baruch Klahr (a landowner).

The secretary of the congregation and its registrar of births, marriages and deaths, was Yosef-Ber Tenenbaum, who was also secretary of the municipality. The number of people paying congregation tax before 1914 was 500."
