===== Between 1888 and 1896, Moishe and Rosa had four children: =====
* Israel (b. 1888): Intelligent, serious, and contemplative, Israel showed early fascination with books and political pamphlets—especially smuggled socialist tracts.
* Yakob Gyorgi (b. 1890): Restless, prone to distraction, and constantly tapping surfaces in rhythmic patterns. His musical gift first became apparent at age 5, when he could replicate melodies heard once on the family’s battered pianino.
* Artur (b. 1893): A quiet, observant child who mimicked adults more than other children. By 1898, he was already cataloguing family expenses and correcting his father’s notes on mechanical schematics.
* Frankhezka (b. 1896): Bright and nimble, with a penchant for movement. Rosa enrolled her in basic dance lessons at a community center funded by a Jewish philanthropic society.

The family lived in the Semyonovsky district—crowded, multicultural, and heavily surveilled. Moishe’s mechanical workshop, located in a shared courtyard space, gained renown among lower-ranking officers of the Imperial Army for his skill in repairing delicate imported parts. Moishe’s reputation as a loyal, quiet subject who never spoke politics shielded the family somewhat, though their Jewishness remained a liability in bureaucratic and social spaces.
