Kabiler Abram Yankelovich (5 June 1903, Sabile – ?) — worker.

Abram Kabiler was the son of Yankel Kabiler (1863, Sabile – 1941, Sabile) and Sara-Khana Kabiler (1871, Kandava – 1927, Sabile).

In 1914, he completed six classes of the progymnasium in Sabile. From 1915 to 1918 he was an apprentice and assistant pharmacist in a pharmacy in Voronezh.

In 1919, Kabiler returned to Riga. Until 1939 he worked as a rawhide procurer at the Karts-Partsev factory in Riga. From 1940 to 1941 he was a procurer at a tannin bark factory in Bauska.

In 1941, he was evacuated to Gorky Region, where he worked until 1942 on a kolkhoz in Selivanovsky District. In 1942 he moved to Samarkand, where until 1945 he worked as an agent receiving photographic prints.

In 1946, Kabiler re-evacuated to Riga. Until 1950 he worked as a collector-agent at Utilsyryo in Riga District. From 1950 to 1961 he was employed at the Fantaziya factory as a worker painting silkscreen markings. From 1961 he was a disability pensioner.

He was married to Feiga Kabiler (née Iokhel) (1908, Riga). They had a son, Naftali (Anatoly) Kabiler (b. 1929, Riga).
