  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.

  You are doing good work, keep it up!!!!!!!

• 7 Miller // Jan 26, 2009 at 11:18 pm

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

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

• 9 Miller // Apr 2, 2009 at 1:36 pm

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

• 10 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?

• 11 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,

• 12 curios // Jul 6, 2009 at 3:38 pm

  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.

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

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

• 14 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.

• 15 Azi // Jul 7, 2009 at 7:16 pm

  Does anyone know where the Muzier Rebbe of Flatbush was buried?

• 16 Miller // Jul 7, 2009 at 7:50 pm

  Azi,

  Do you mean Mudzits? He is listed on this site

• 17 Azi // Jul 7, 2009 at 8:15 pm

  no, the muzhier rebbe, named Rubin. brother of the Sasregin and Sulitzer Rebbes.

• 19 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.

• 20 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 .

• 21 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

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

  The Muzhaier Rebbe is in EY

• 23 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

• 24 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.

• 25 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?

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

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

• 27 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.

• 28 curios // Feb 5, 2010 at 4:21 am

  Sorry, should read Perth Amboy.

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

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

• 30 curios // Mar 2, 2010 at 7:38 pm

  I think you should have both.

• 31 Pearl Rottenberg Taylor // Mar 21, 2010 at 8:19 pm

  Index by last name would be much better. Thank you!

• 32 Blossom Glassman // Apr 12, 2010 at 8:30 pm

  I would like to contact Nathan Leib regarding my
  grandfather Rabbi Zorach Halevi Hurwitz.
  Thank You

• 33 chaim tzvi goldenberg // Apr 15, 2010 at 11:17 am

  it would be very useful if we could somehow sort by bais olam. meaning if I looked up one gadol and found him in a certain cemetary, i would like to know who else is buried there that I might want to go and be mispallel by them. Thank you and keep up the great work!

• 34 chaim tzvi goldenberg // Apr 15, 2010 at 11:20 am

  anyone know where the kever of rav Baruch Litvin ztl is? he fought and won a supreme court case for keepping machitza in shul. He was from mt. Clemens Michigan. Many Gedolim held very highly of his accomplishments.

• 35 Admin // Apr 15, 2010 at 2:31 pm

  Chaim Tzvi:
  You can, check the “select category” menu or just search by cemetery name.
  Thank you,

• 37 Asher // Apr 27, 2010 at 2:08 pm

  Admin: why the change of the “recent comments”

• 38 M Morgen // May 26, 2010 at 9:55 pm

  Great idea… You should create searches by last name not first names. in most cases first names are no known.

  2nd You MUST add a list by location so hat if someone is in the queens area for one kvitel he can now see all other tzadikim that are in the same general area

• 39 Cheskel // May 27, 2010 at 2:54 pm

  Again for the third time (my second), there is a Categories list, located on the right side, just above the Recent Comments, where one could search by City, Cemetery or Title.

• 40 SJS // May 27, 2010 at 3:24 pm

  Are the following people buried in the US? Reb Elimelech Tress, Reb Michael Ber Weissmandel,

  Does anyone know where Rav Yitzchok Sternhell, ZT”L, baal Kochav Yitzchok, who was a Ruv in Baltimore, is buried?

  David,
  Maybe you open a website or Cazzanim/Cantors, just as this one?

• 49 Ben Bee Zee // Aug 17, 2010 at 1:39 pm

  There was a big Rav in NYC Rabbi Yosef Eliyahu Fried the Rav of the Eldridge St. Synagogue and author 2 Seforim Ohel Yosef, Alimos Yosef, by the funeral of the Rav Hakolel, Rabbi Fried was among those who eulogized at the cemetery.

  His Seforim

  http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=10067&pgnum=1

  Does anyone know where he might be buried?

• 50 asher // Aug 17, 2010 at 8:50 pm

  Any idea what year he was niftar. Eldridge has a section in Bayside right next to where Rav Yudelovitch is buried.

• 51 YD Miller // Aug 18, 2010 at 12:56 am

  He was Niftar May 8 1927

• 52 Farshlufen // Aug 18, 2010 at 9:14 am

  I did check the Jowbr for his name, there is no one with this name and date of interment on their list.

• 53 asher // Aug 18, 2010 at 10:55 am

  Rav Yudelovitch Served as Rav in Eldrige until his passing, 1930. Rav Binkowitz was Rav earlier, he died in 1907 – when exactly did Rabbi Fried serve as Rav there.

• 54 Ben Bee Zee // Aug 18, 2010 at 11:34 am

  make a search in google books there’s a book about the Eldridge Street Shul and it says that he was the Sheina Yid of the shul he gave lectures and he was admired very much he had a seat on the western wall, it seems like he didn’t officially hold the rabbinical position of the shul

• 55 asher // Aug 18, 2010 at 11:42 am

  I will keep it mind BL”N next time i visit Bayside. Although his name is not listed there.

• 56 Farshlufen // Aug 18, 2010 at 12:20 pm

  BBZ, you meant to say on the eastern wall- כותל מזרח. Rav Fried himself in the preface to “Ohel Yosef” also dosen’t mention being Rav of the shul.

  Asher, which rav Binkowitz was rav in Eldridge?

  the name of the book on the Eldridge Shul is ”
  Landmark of the spirit – The Eldridge Street Synagogue”.

  Att: David Weider.
  Not sure if this person fits your category of chazonim list – are you compiling only chazonim or baalei tefilos too. I came across one in Mt Judah next to Fridrich.

  Sorry, he’s buried in Old Montifore, very close (left side) to Rav Margolis z”l
