Nathan Mileikowsky Netanyahu was born to Zvi Mileikowsky in Krevo. Many Mileikowsky people have been from Vilnius, Lithuania. . Krevo is listed on Jewish Genealogy as in Belarus. Krevo, a township in Belarus, is a township in the Smarhon District of Grodno Region, Belarus. The first mention of it dates to the 13th century. .He was a descendant of the Gaon from Vilna. He studied at the Volozhin Yeshiva for 8 years and then became an orator preaching about Zionism. He migrated (with his children who were born in Warsaw) to Palestine in 1920 and served as headmaster of various Hebrew high schools in several towns before settling in Jerusalem as an official of the World Zionist Organization. On his arrival in Palestine, Milikovsky changed the family name to Netanyahu ("Lord has given"). He was from the beginning a supporter of right-wing views in the Zionist movement, a tendency which deepened in the next generations of his closely knit family. He passed away in 1935. (by Benjamin Netanyahu). He was the husband of Sarah Mileikowsky
:
Sarah Mileikowsky nee Lurie, born August 11, 1885 in Shadova/Seduva Savelskiy Uyezd/Siaulia district, Kovno Governorate, Lithuania in Russian Empire, d: December 19, 1970 at age 85 in Tel Aviv-YIafo, Israel, buried at Mount of Olives, Jerusalem, Israel. She was the daughter of Bentsel Lurie. She's the wife of Rabbi Nathan/Natan Mileikovsky. Lurie is a Jewish surname. The name is sometimes transliterated from/to other languages as Lurye, Luriye (from Russia), Lourié (in French). Other variants include: Loria, Luria, Luri, Luryi, Lurier, Laurie, Lourie, Laurier. Nathan was a rabbi who toured Europe and the United States, making speeches supporting Zionism. After Nathan took the family to Mandate Palestine (aliyah) in 1920, the family name eventually was changed to Netanyahu. After living in Jaffa, Tel Aviv, and Safed, the family settled in Jerusalem. Rabbi Nathan had been a noted activist in Khovewvei Tzion, the pre-political Zionist movement, probably part of the Hibbat Zion Movement that started the Zionism in 1897 by Herzl and was the paternal grandfather of Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu. Natan Milikovsky was born in the small Lithuanian village of Krevo to Tzvi Milikovsky, who claimed descent from the Gaon of Vilna, as is recorded by Tidhar: 186 A Mileikowski couple, perhaps a cousin, of the right period. This is not Sarah Lurie, Rabbi Nathan's wife as this lady has a hairline just like mine with a widow's peak. Tzvi//Zvi Mileikowsky of Belarus, Great grandfather of Benjamin Netanyahu . It looks like he has blue eyes. b; 1849 in Vilno Governorate, Lithuania of Russian Empire; d: June 24, 1934 at age 84-85 in mandatory Palestine, buried in Herzliya, Israel, son of Chaim Halevi Mileikowsky and Pesia Jews lived in all parts of the lands of modern Belarus. Jews were the third largest ethnic group in the country in the first half of the 20th century. In 1897, the Jewish population of Belarus reached 910,900, or 14.2% of the total population. Following the Polish-Soviet War (1919-1920), under the terms of the Treaty of Riga, Belarus was split into Eastern Belorussia (under Soviet occupation) and Western Belorussia (under Polish occupation), and causing 350,000-450,000 of the Jews to be governed by Poland. Prior to World War II, Jews remained the third largest ethnic groups in Belarus and comprised more than 40% of the population in cities and towns. The population of cities such as Minsk, Pinsk, Mahiliou, Babrujsk, Viciebsk, and Homiel was more than 50% Jewish. In 1926 and 1939 there were between 375,000 and 407,000 Jews in Belarus (Eastern Belorussia) or 6.7-8.2% of the total population. Following the Soviet annexation of Eastern Poland in 1939, including Western Belorussia, Belarus would again have 1,175,000 Jews within its borders, including 275,000 Jews from Poland, Ukraine, and elsewhere. It is estimated 800,000 of 900,000 — 90% of the Jews of Belarus —were killed during the Holocaust. According to the 2019 national census, there were 13,705 self-identifying Jews in Belarus. The Jewish Agency estimates the community of Jews in Belarus at 20,000. However, the number of Belarusians with Jewish descent is assumed to be higher. Throughout several centuries the lands of modern Belarus and the Republic of Lithuania were both parts of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Therefore, the history of Belarusian Jews is closely related to the history of Jews in Lithuania and historically they could be seen as a subset of Lithuanian Jews.
As early as the 8th century Jews lived in parts of the lands of modern Belarus. Beginning with that period they conducted the trade between Ruthenia, Lithuania, and the Baltic, especially with Danzig, Julin (Vineta or Wollin, in Pomerania), and other cities on the Vistula, Oder, and Elbe.
The origin of Belarusian Jews has been the subject of much speculation. It is believed that they were made up of two distinct streams of Jewish immigration. The older and significantly smaller of the two entered the territory that would later become the Grand Duchy of Lithuania from the east. These early immigrants spoke Judeo-Slavic dialects which distinguished them from the later Jewish immigrants who entered the region from the Germanic lands.
