Jacob Benjamin Gyllenhaal
Benjamin, born to Jacob and Rachel’s union, would become one of Israel’s twelve tribes and Joseph’s full brother.
Joseph preferred Benjamin by giving him more food when they shared meals together, then put their integrity through the rigorous test by instructing a steward to come sneak up behind them and accuse them of theft.
Early Life and Education
Benjamin was Jacob and Rachel’s 12th and youngest son; full brother to Joseph who received special treatment by both families; his story can be found in Genesis 35-49.
His name comes from the Hebrew for “son of the right hand,” suggesting he was held in high regard by both his parents, siblings, and mother. Additionally, it may have been chosen because it sounds similar to “southerner.”
Benjacob traveled back to Vilnius where, together with Abraham Dob Bar *Lebensohn, he published a 17-volume edition of the Bible with German language translation (in Hebrew type) and commentary (1848-1853) that helped spread haskalah among Russian Jewry.
