Rav Abraham Isaac Yekutieli

1874-1944

Abraham Isaacc Yekutieli was born in Lithuania to a well known rabbinic family of the name of Koseldoskey. He learned in the famous Lithuanian yeshivot of his time and progressed swiftly in his studies. With the advent of the Zionist movement, he joined the Religious Zionists and before World War I moved to Israel. He supported his family by teaching Gemara in Petach Tikva and in Jerusalem. When the first branch of Ha'Poel Ha'Mizrachi was established in 1921, Yekutieli became an active member in the religious Labor movement. He was also noted for the influence he wielded and the respect given him by the ultra-religious community of Jerusalem, which was notably anti-Zionist.
