  Cincinnati Oh, is buried Rabbi Yisachar Dov Illowi, chief rabbi of the confederacy. In Pittsburgh Pa, is burried Rabbi Shimon Zivitz who wrote a perush on Yerushalmi. These tzadikim should be included.

  Notes on Ohio:

  Rabbi Gruenwald was, of course, the author of the Kol Bo al Aveilus. He also authored numerous other books and articles during his life-time. He attracted large crowds to his Friday night lectures. It is said that when he learned that one member of the audience had driven to shul to hear him speak, he cancelled the rest of that season’s speeches.

  His successor at the Beth Jacob (Beis Yeinkev) in Columbus was Rabbi David Stavsky zt’l, who served the shul for 47 years. Rabbi Stavksy zt’l won the position by being the only candidate who could give a derasha in both Yiddish and English (such were the demands in the 1950s). He never compromised religious standards, but instead made classical Torah-observant Judaism attractive to a new and young generation. To wit, he cast the annual kinus teshuva of the aseres yemei teshuva as “Religious Emphasis Week,” and brought to Columbus rabbonim and roshei yeshiva to deliver thunderous smhoozim. By doing so he was not only makriv people to Torah, but exposed those would otherwise not have seen the faces and wisdom of leading rabbonim.

  Did you ever get a hold of the burial place of Rabbi Shimon Zivitz in Pittsburgh?

• 9 eluzer schlesinger // Apr 2, 2009 at 6:14 am

  Eluzer,
  Was your GG-Father a Rabbi, where?

• 11 curios // Jul 5, 2009 at 5:32 pm

  This is a great site! Keep up the good work. Why don’t you get pictures of gedolim in Eretz Yisroel also?

• 12 Bamsel A // Jul 6, 2009 at 3:02 pm

  There are scores of books available which provide information on kivrei tzadikim in EY. They are available by cemetery, city, or guided tour. If there is a particular kever you are looking for contact me via email and I will try to locate it.

  I am considering a similar website for Rabbanim who lived in America and were buried in EY. However logistically it’s a long way off.
  Thank you,

  Another question: I know that Reb Meir Michel - the “המאיר לעולם” has a son Reb Shmuel buried in Perth Amboy NJ, would you be able to get ahold of the picture? He was Rav there at some point. Thanks alot.

• 14 Bamsel A // Jul 6, 2009 at 3:47 pm

  Anything is possible, do you know the name of the cemetery?

• 15 curios // Jul 6, 2009 at 4:23 pm

  I don’t think there is more than one cemetery in PA, but I don’t know for sure.

  Teverya, E. Yisroel

• 20 curios // Jul 9, 2009 at 3:50 pm

  Would it be possible to somehow change the font and size of the Hebrew letters here, to make them easier for reading? Thanks a million for everything.

• 21 Gedalyah Jeremias // Jul 13, 2009 at 7:50 pm

  Rav Avrroham Abba Rosen was first a rav in Rochester.
  Rav Lynn was a rav in New London & Chesterfield after he was in Westerly.
  Rav Israelite wrote a sefer called T’udas Yisroel .

• 22 j // Jul 22, 2009 at 12:07 pm

  when did the Muzhayer Rebbe pass away?

  maybe the next project should be an index by date of yartzeit so we can know when yartzeits are

• 23 avremele // Jul 22, 2009 at 5:09 pm

  The Muzhaier Rebbe is in EY

• 24 j // Aug 5, 2009 at 11:11 pm

  which, the brother or the father? Isn’t the brother “Minchah Yesharah” B”H alive Amv”sh

• 25 Menachem // Dec 14, 2009 at 4:59 pm

  Does anyone happen to know where Rabbi Chaim Fishel Epstein is buried? He was, at one point, rav of Cincinatti, then later became chief of Vaad Haier of St. Louis, MO.

• 26 Ben Bee Zee // Jan 11, 2010 at 5:44 pm

  You took down Bernard Madelbaum. If he was conservative, how come he’s buried along with orthodox people?

• 27 YD Miller // Jan 11, 2010 at 7:20 pm

  It apears that Rabbi Mandelbaum himself was Orthodox, he only served Conservative judiasm and JTS

• 28 curios // Feb 5, 2010 at 4:20 am

  כל המחובר לטמא טמא…

  Baruch, any news on the kever of Reb Shmuel Rabinowitz from Perth Anboy NJ? You might also find more kevarim there. I think thee were a few Rabbanim there.

• 29 curios // Feb 5, 2010 at 4:21 am

  Sorry, should read Perth Amboy.

• 30 Nathan Szyszko // Mar 2, 2010 at 5:28 pm

  The index by first name is confusing. last names is easier. Thank you

• 31 curios // Mar 2, 2010 at 7:38 pm

  I think you should have both.
