... Benn is the descendant of a prominent family in
Bialystok: his grandfather was a rabbi in Nowarodok.
His father, Szloyme Jakow Rabinowicz, was a distin-
guished architect who designed, among other buildings,
the Great Synagogue in Bialystok. Already as a youth
of fifteen, Benn drew and painted portraits of those
around him. Later, he gained recognition from a wide
variety of Jews in Bialystok, painting leading Jewish
figures. When the Habimah appeared in town for the
first time, in 1926, Benn did portraits of the entire com-
pany. Every year afterward, he became more famous as
a portrait artist. ...Connected nodes
