רבי יעקב אליהו

Rabbi Yaakov Eliyahu

Son of Reb Avraham Kohen — the ruined ohel

Who he was

The tzaddik whose ohel stood in this cemetery until it was destroyed. The surveys spell him Jakob Elijah and Eliasz Jakub Wieliczkier and do not agree; the Hebrew form here is the one both of those transliterate, and no more than that should be read into it.
