Delete Being a member of a city council is not a default sign of notability. The US census is a primary source, we do not use primary sources. Plus, the US census does not record religion so the claim that "Jacobi was one of eight Jews listed as living in Los Angeles in the 1850 census" is just plain false.

Comment As of 1850, LA only had ~8000 people. Most councilmembers today are probably notable, but I don't think you can say the same thing about councilmembers for a smallish town. I did a search in Google Books and newspapers.com and came up with basically nothing. Don't know if there are better places to look, but I'm leaning delete.

Comment Would support a merge to an article about early Jewish immigration to the region. Other than that, he ran a business, played violin... Meh.
