Was deeply touched by the official obituary of the Rothschild family.
Would only comment that Lord Jacob Rothschild lived and shined as an exemplar of the family motto: "Concordia, Integritas, Industria"

I remember Jacob as a beautiful soul. Our destiny as a people is exemplified in our history.

Back when I started using Facebook I came across a video of a young reporter asking for a comment from Mr. Rothschild. He responded with grace, kindness and a smile. The reporter, however, was rude and made it a bit upsetting to watch. After the questioning Mr. Rothschild turned and walked off. The reporter then called out to him saying, "Mr. Rothschild - Mr. Rothschild I have one more question". Much to my surprise, Mr. Rothschild turned around and walk back to the young reporter and again, graced him with his kindness. That action was embracing and the pure. I would not have done that!
When I consider that people have referred to me all my life as being kind, asking me am I real and then asking who am I, one thing I do know is that I am not a Jacob Rothschild. I have not seen anyone so humble before or after him. He showed us more of God's character and who God is. I know right now that he is feeling right at home because he is now hanging out with the one who made him just like himself!
Rest in heaven Mr. Rothschild. I hear God saying, well done!

Lord Jacob Rothschild and his late wife Lady Serena gave exemplary business and philanthropic service that provides the textbook blueprint for wealthy individuals on how to give back with far-reaching, long-lasting positive consequences. Lord Jacob trod his own path but continued his legendary family's achievement for the Jewish people, by fortifying through excellence, leadership and wise generosity. Condolences to the family.
