   Rabbi Avram Moshe Shershevsky was in Portland, Maine and NOT Oregon. Please correct. He was my great uncle. Thank you.

   Wondering if you can see exactly what it says on the grave of his parents. Does it mention their parents names as well.

   Also wondering if YD Miller is a family member.

   Hi Paula, I’m trying to get hold of you. Will ask Sara for your email address as I have lost it.

   Hi Jessica,

   I am not a family member.

   On The parents grave, which BTW both of them died after the son, it does say their parents names:

   Father: Chaim Shmuel son of Moshe Shlomo – passed away end of 1927

   Mother: Miete Chana daughter of Shmuel Eluzer – passed away 1931

   I hope to include a drasha from Rav Shershevsky in an article, but I need some information. Perhaps you can get me in touch with Paula Jacobs who says she is a great niece.
   Thank you,

   I was able to get a picture of Rav Shereshevsky from an old sefer called אוצר התמונות, by Reb Ben Zion Eisenstat (1909), page 34. Is there any way I can upload the picture?
   Also, I was contacted by Rav Avraham Moshe Possick (Torah Umesorah, retired) who told me he is a great grandson of Rav Shershevsky and named after him. I sent him a group of links about the Rov, including a Geni link which may help him hook up with grandchildren of the sister of Rav Shershevsky.
   Perhaps he would want to contact Paula Jacobs as well.
   BTW, I wrote a bio of Rav Shershevsky in Inyan (Hamodia) August 14, 2019 issue. I was able to get quite a bit of information about him. I also wrote up a drashah he gave in 1895 or so.

   Doing some research for the BBF tour Jewish North End. Was the Rabbi married to Dr. Cecile Shereshevsky, who started the Jewish Dispensary for Women and Children in the North End? Would very much appreciate learning more.

   My father’s grandparents were married in Boston, Massachusetts in 1909 by Rabbi Abram M. Shereshevsky. I wonder if this is an anglicized spelling of Rabbi Avroham Shershevsky? If so, can anyone tell me of which synagogue he was affiliated?

   I will be so grateful for any information. Thank you.

    Rabbi Abram Shershevsky married my wife’s paternal grandparents in Boston in 1907. He was the rabbi for Cong. Kennesseth Israel, per the Boston Globe. I have seen his name and the synagogue’s name spelled differently at different times.
