This is a painting of a melamed and his pupils in Podolia. A teacher in the heder (Jewish school). 

Now! Imagine that you could put a name on these faces! Well, I can. It could have been in Khashchevatoye. The rabbi was Ruvin Lipovetzky. The melamed was Shimon Virnik. The pupils were: Eli Moshkovitch Blinder, Yankel Borukhovitch Belenki, Shlomo Duvidovitch Shaposhnik, Yos Leib Munishevitch Kriman, Yos Yankelovitch Sogutovsky, Leib Khunovitch Chabarovsky, Duvid Avrum Yeshiovitch Kravetz and Nusim Avrum Moshkovitch Shaposhnik. They were paying 9-10 Altin. The melamed had a diploma from Nemirov regional Jewish high school (yeshiva?). The heder was in the melamed's house and clean. These children were born around 1854. Eli Blinder and Yos Leib Kriman will be killed in the pogroms of 1919-21.
