“There is joy and jubilation in Israel in Bombay and our hearts are full of glowing wishes on the bestowal by His Majesty the King-Emperor, of the title of Baronetcy on Sir Jacob Sassoon.” Sir Jacob Elias Sassoon (1843-1916) was the elder son of Elias David Sassoon (1819-80). He expanded his father’s business enterprise in India by massively developing the Sassoon Mills to the benefit of India’s cotton textile industry. Greatly philanthropic, he established the Central College of Science, Bombay’s general hospital, and the Keneseth Eliyahoo Synagogue - still in use, in the Colaba area of Bombay. <<India: See Also Lot 62 and 193.>>
