One of Jerusalemite Rachel Krishevsky's grandchildren says with pride, "Grandma knew all of her descendents." The commandment to "be fruitful and multiply" the Krishevsky family follows quite closely. Last Saturday, Rachel Krishevsky passed away at the age of 99, leaving behind no less than 1,400 children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even great-great-grandchildren. Krishevsky got married to her cousin, Yitzhak, when she was 18. The couple brought seven sons and four daughters into the world. Her children subsequently adopted her outlook and produced 150 children of their own. They continued the commitment to be fruitful and multiply and themselves had no less than 1,000 children. u00a0 From here, the lineage continued even further, and Krishevsky was blessed with a few hundred great-great-grandchildren. Due to their great numbers, the family is not quite clear on precisely how many descendents there are. "The estimate in the family is that we are about 1,400 people since almost all of those from the family line were blessed with many children," said one of her grandchildren.
