Aishiskin and Aaron D. Markson. Mrs. Rabinowitz was one of those rare women who, although reserved and reticent, wielded a great influ- ence in the community. She was considered by the members of her large and influential family as the mother of the group, all coming to her for her advice and guidance, and comfort when needed. She was a member of many educational and charitable societies, Hadassah, the Orphan Home, Rion- Chalon, Wom- en's League of the Schools, and oth- ers among them. Sarah Rabinowitz has always taken an interest in the life-work of her husband, that of the education of the Jewishyouth.
