Jennings (Yehuda) Tofel (originally Idel Taflewicz or Taflowicz) (born 18 October 1891 in Tomaszów Mazowiecki, Poland, died 7 September 1959 in New York City), Jewish American painter, poet and essayist.
After the death of Idel's mother (1899), his father replaced with the family to Łódź and after some months he returned to the native town Tomaszów Mazowiecki.
In New York the artistic talent of young Tofel was recognized, and he entered the Townsend Harris Hall Preparatory School.
In 1917 he as Jennings Tofel was represented in a group exhibition at the Whitney Studio called "Introspective Art" (together with Claude Buck, Abraham Harriton, Benjamin Kopman).
While visiting his native city of Tomaszów Mazowiecki, he met his relative, Sura Perla Wajsberg (later Pearl Tofel in U.S.A.), and after a few days of courtship quickly got married.
In 1931 he had a one-man exhibition at the SPR Gallery, New York and in 1932 the Whitney Museum of American Art purchased "Hagar".
He was also represented in prestigious group exhibitions at the Jewish Museum in New York and the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio.
