According to Shaf-Brener, Yehuda Chatskind and his wife, Kreina, had three children: two daughters, Chaya and Mali Malka aged 20 and 18 respectively, and a son, Yakov.

Kehilat Shkud tells us a little about Yehuda’s profession: “In the New Town there was Breina Montriski’s cloth dyeing factory, and in the course of time another such factory was established by Yehuda Chatzkin hy”d” (13). Brief mention is also made of Yehuda’s dyeing factory on p. 52.
