Biography of the Rothschild dynasty

In the 19th century, the Rothschilds were considered one of the richest and most influential families in the world. The word "Rothschild" itself became a common sense of wealth. And today, the Rothschilds control one of the largest world states. According to tradition, the ancestor of the Rothschilds, Ambes Anges Anschel Moshe Bauer owned the workshop according to other sources - a channel office, and a golden Roman eagle flaunted on the background of a red shield on its sign.

Over time, this workshop began to be called the "Red Shield" - Rotes Schild. Thus, the nickname was born, which was the son of Anshel, Meyer Amchel - the founder of the European Rothschild dynasty - accepted as a surname. A few branches of the Rothschild dynasty leads their genealogy from them. The branch in Frankfurt was stopped over time, the department in Naples was closed, and the descendants of the Austrian Rothschilds moved to the United States.

Today, companies under the leadership of the British, American and French branches of the dynasty have been preserved and actively operating. In the year, the Austrian emperor granted the Rothschilds to the noble title, and soon, in the year, the Rothschilds received the title of barons. She can shed light on the true reason for the well -being of the Rothschilds.

At Rabbi Zvi Girsch Gorowitsa, the head of the Rabbinsky court of the city of Chertkov, the father of the famous rabbis of the river. For years, Rabbi Zvi Girsch saved the money for the dowry for his daughter, and by the time the events described, he had already gathered a round amount - five hundred gold, a worthy dowry for the daughter of a rabbi. He kept this money in a bag in the secret separation of his stander - the presenter, for which he studied.

Once, on the night of 14 Nisan Rabbi, like all Jews, a Hametz vpikat was held in his house. Approaching with a candle in his hand to Streamer and looking into the treasured box, he was stunned: it was empty there! The money accumulated with such difficulty for many years has disappeared! Shortly before this story, the river.

Anshel left Rabbi’s house: he married and opened his own shop to feed his family. His new business has already begun to bring modest profit. Home slave Zvi Girsch, learning about the disappearance of money, suggested that the former servant “borrowed” them to open their own business. At first, Rav did not want to listen to them, not wanting to suspect the innocent, and being confident in the crystal honesty of the river.

Anshele, more than once proved in practice. But the home continued to convince Rava that only Rothschild knew about money, and only he could take them. In the end, they managed to persuade Rava to go to Rothschild and find out from him. Seeing his teacher, p. Angel joyfully ran out to meet him - he was sure that the rabbi came to visit him and bless him. Zvi Girsch went to him and in an interview said that his money had disappeared.

With great caution, he hinted who the main suspect of theft. To his surprise, hearing this, p. Anshel immediately admitted and offered to return the gold immediately, in place, and the rest of the amount - payments for six months. Rav went home in confusion, on the other hand, feeling the relief that the money was found ... Once a cheerful company fell into the city tavern. The hero of the day was one of the local poor: as he explained to the innkeeper, he smiled at happiness - he found a gold coin on the street, and now treats all his friends at his own expense!

To the surprise of the innkeeper, a week later an unusual visit was repeated, and the same peasant turned out to be a lucky visitor. This aroused a suspicion among the innkeeper, and after the drunken “guests” diverged home, and those who were unable to go under the shops, he hurried to the police and talked about it. There they gave him advice: if a lucky peasant appears for the third time, drink him more and, when he is intoxicated properly, ask for the origin of this money.

A week later, the innkeeper was no longer surprised to see the same company on the threshold. He personally treated the generous peasant with the strongest drinks until he was completely intoxicated. After several leading questions, he said that his wife served in the Jewish Rabbi house, and once noticed a secret box. In the absence of the owners, she managed to choose a key to him and was delighted, finding a bag of money there.

She brought a bag of her husband, and he buried it in the yard and, having waited for some time and finding that they had not been grabbing the money yet, dared to start spending them. The innkeeper hurried to the police, and the peasant was arrested. Very quickly he confessed everything and showed where he hid the money. They were in the same bag - the whole amount, minus several gold, which the thieves had already managed to spend.

The police chief invited Rava to him and asked about the theft. Then he returned the money to him, telling everything that happened. Rav Zvi Girsch was very glad that the money returned, but even more pleased him that the river. Anshel Rothschild was innocent. Only one thing remained incomprehensible, and Rav hastened to find out, again paying the visit to his former service.

When asked why r.Anshel “admitted” in a crime that he had not committed, he replied that he really wanted to reassure Rava, because he saw how he was upset by the loss of money. Rav asked him forgiveness for in vain suspicions and returned him all the money that he managed to give him. And also - blessed the river. Anshele and all his offspring, so that it always flourishes.

Like most of the blessings of the rabbi from Chortkov, this blessing was realized. Having inherited the trade of his father, p. Meyer Amshel Rothschild soon got rich, and by the twenty-five years he became the court banker of Prince of the Gessa, whose sphere of influence was also Frankfurt. The Rothschild house has become a symbol of wealth and prosperity in all generations - thanks to the blessing of the Great Redin.

At the beginning of their path, the Rothschilds were orthodox Jews. With the founder of the dynasty, Meyer Rothschild, the marriages of his family members were consistent according to Jewish customs. Over time, the religiosity of the family fell into decay, although some representatives of the Rothschilds remained deep devotion to their people. So, Edmond de Rothschild from Paris at the end of the XIX supported many Jewish settlements to Eretz Israel, bought up plots in Palestine and helped the settlers, including Russian Jews who fled from pogroms in E GG.

The representative of the British branch of the Rothschilds played an important role in the creation of a "national center for the Jewish people" in the dandem Palestine. It was to him, "Lord Rothschild", who is addressed to the famous declaration of Balfur.
