  The three Sforim that are availible at Hebrew Books (M’on Arye, Nahamas Arye and Choker Olem) were all printed while the Rav was still in Biyalistok.

  Does anyone know where he served here in NY?

  Hebrew Books just added the Rishon L’Zion, which the Rav printed while still in Biyalistok in 1882

  The sefer מראות אלקים is now abaviible on Hebrew Books, I did not find any additional biographic information on the Rav in there.

  Was he related to Rav Yitzchak Eliezer Benkowitz of the Boston area?

  The yahrtzeit was yesterday, i decided to hop over. Wow! that whole section was unrecognizable! The whole forest behind this section is gone.

  Although this place still needs enormous work, many gates (society sections) have been cleaned up already beyond recognition, Panim Chadoshos it is.

  Especially that i chanced upon this place right before the summer when growth was in full swing, it was impossible to crawl beyond this headstone, it was infested with thorns and growth – if you go to the Open Letter page on this site written by Baruch, (http://kevarim.com/in-the-news/an-open-letter-to-the-jewish-community-regarding-the-state-of-the-bayside-cemetery/#more-2763)
  scroll down to the 4th row, 1st picture on the left – those 2 headstones behind the thorns are right behind Rav Binkovitz z”ls’ headstone.

  Again, the place did not graduate yet from disaster status, but many gates are accessible now. I only checked out the right path – you can now walk from Bayside to Acacia with ease (certain gates).

  Next week IY”H i will check upon the left part where Rav Koblantz and Rav Vidrowitz are buried- hopefully much earlier in the day, as yesterday being blown away by the transformation i forgot that 4pm is curfew and got locked in and had to walk all across to the Acacian side and scale the wall.

  If anyone has any pictures or links of images of Rav Binkovitz z”l, i’d so appreciative if you can share ‘em with me. TY.

  Baruch, if not for you, i wouldn’t have known about this place, thank you.

  Searching on the Ellis Island site, i found one match of Leib Binkowitz who arrived 1895, age 44 – according to his headstone being 54 in 1907, this info is just 2 years off – can it be that the info is inaccurate but we are still on the person?

  in fact, if you search for Binkowitz (with a W) you’ll see a few Binkowitzes originating from Bialystock (where teh Rav comes from) – i wonder if they were the Rav Leibs’ children or not.

  If only i can find a picture of him.

  below is the link of the Ellis Island search: (how do i turn this address into a clickable link?)

  Baruch, is there any way for me to insert a pic within my post?

  Looking closely at the list of Binkowitzs’ – the 5th name is Chaja Binkowitz, age 43, arrived same year, 1895 – Chaya Pesha, was his wife – She passes away 1927 at age 76 – according to the EI records they are off 1 year, so Leib Binkowitz on the Ellis Island passenger records records is most definitely him.
