Hinda Konstantinovsky – Yatziv (1895-1989)

Hinda was born in Chimishliya (Cimiṣlia), Bessarabia, in a family with Jewish traditions. She received a general education, but the language of the Bible, Hebrew, was very important to her. She married Abraham Konstantinovsky in Kiliya and became active in the organization Shivat Zion (Return to Zion). In 1920, she represented Kiliya at the First Bessarabian Zionist Congress in Kishinev.

She was very dedicated to the Hebrew language and she taught her children to speak it and insisted that Hebrew should be spoken in the home.

Her personal example greatly influenced the development of Zionist ideas in Kiliya. She was instrumental in the establishment of the kindergarten and the Tarbut School. She was also active in the Keren Kayemet, helped distribute the blue and white boxes of the Keren Kayemet and helped the delegation of the Keren Kayemet who was visiting every year.

At age 70, she was still collecting donations for charities (Gmilut Hasidim) in order to help the poor get loans without interest.

She was a great personality with a warm heart, beauty, and grace who left a great mark in the history of Kiliya.
