Woman dies with 1400 descendants!
Mrs. Krishevsky was not a Christian, but she sure understood the blessing of children! Check out this article from ynews.com…
Krishevsky got married to her cousin, Yitzhak, just before turning 19. The couple brought seven sons and four daughters into the world. In accordance with haredi custom, Krishevsky brought up her children to see children as a great joy. Her children subsequently adopted her outlook and produced 150 children of their own.
These 150 children continued the commitment to be fruitful and multiply and themselves had no less than 1,000 children. From here, the lineage continued even further, and Rachel Krishevsky was blessed with a few hundred great-great-grandchildren.

My grandmother had 8 children. Her 8 children had 29 grandchildren. Last time I heard (about 6 years ago), my son was great-grandchild number 45ish. I've had 2 since then and know of many more. She just celebrated her 90th birthday on 4th of July. What an amazing legacy! Oh, and she IS a Christian! We are so blessed! :-) If she lives to 99, I wonder how many total "children" she will have by then?
Wow, what a legacy!
Awesome possum.
Beautiful! I hope some day to by "Fruitful" in that way!
wow…..that is different. She could populate an entire country at that rate….
We talk about that in our family – we have 6 children, if they each have at least 6 children, that will be 36 grandchildren, if they each have 6 children that will be 216 great grandchildren and if they….well, you get the idea!
What a blessing!
Well speaking of homes and children, I'm excited because I'm thinking of buying a couple of Susan Bradrick's CDs on the subject, "24 Hours is all you Get" and "Home is where the Heart Is"; I think they may be good companions for "Passionate Housewives" and "Maidens". Have you heard either of these CDs, Stacy?
Wow. When I was little, I used to pretend I had fifteen children (with a young Native American as the father no less, so they were quite a various brood!) I loved my imaginary quiver so much and was always thinking of family activities to do together. Now, I'd love to leave 14,00 descendents of Christ-worshipping whipper-snappers like me behind on this earth, but my womb aches just at the thought of it. We shall see what God has in store for my unpredictable self..
