times, page one
On this page photographs are published from the old family albums, mainly

Rebbe Jokew Content, father of Esther Content, who was married to Moses
Content, father of the following four,
among which Carolien, "oma". So Rebbe Jokew is my over over
grandfather. Rebbe Jokew was rabbi to the Dutch Israelite Main Synagogue
in Amsterdam. In the second half of the nineteenth century he was a very
popular rabbi, known by his erudition in Talmud and Torah, his spiritual
and witty disposition and his love for humanity.
I found this photo in the suitcase with papers about the family, collected
by my uncle George z.l. and now at my disposal. The photo apparently was
taken from a magazine and goes together with a short article on the rebbe
out of a weekly, I suppose the Nieuw Israelitisch Weekblad, somewhere
in the fifties or sixties.
