Thank you so much for all the information.
Y’shaleim Hashem schar p’ulaschem.
Would any of you know information about his children (or the children of Ray Katzenelenbogen Kaplan) or any of the grandchildren he left behind?
P.S. The Date of Death quoted in Mount Zion Cemetery’s records is inaccurate. The correct date is February 7, ’03, as can be seen on the matzeiva.

גלוי הקבר של הגאון רבי חיים בנימין הלוי קאצענעלענבוגען זצ”ל
AFTER 111 YEARS….
DISCOVERY OF THE KEVER OF Reb Chaim Binyumin Halevi Katzenelenbogen zt”l (THE GRANDFATHER OF Hagaon Reb Aharon Katzenelenbogen zt”l) IN QUEENS, NY
Reb Chaim Binyumin Halevi Katzenelenbogen zt”l emigrated from Grudna, Lithuania to the United States. His son, the famous goan Reb Avraham Moshe Katzenelenbogen tz”l, the Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivas Zion Yerushalayim, immigrated to Eretz Yisrael. Reb Avraham Moshe was the father of the 3 famous geonei yerushalayim: 1) Hagaon Reb Refuel zt”l 2) Hagaon Reb Yaakov Katzenelenbogen zt”l 3) Hagaon Hatzadik Reb Aharon Katzenelenbogen zt”l Rosh Yeshiva Tora Veyira & Founder of “Neturei Karta” in yerushalayim.
R’ Chaim Binyumin Halevi Katzenelenbogen tz”l was niftar 111 years ago, on Shabbos kodesh yud shevat, tuf reish samach gimel – 1903, at the age of 52. The levaya was the following day on Sunday, yud aleph shevat. Over many decades, his descendants invested much effort to locate the kever of this esteemed gaon and tzaddik.
This Thursday, yud alef kislev, was the first time since the petira of R’ Chaim Binyumin Halevi Katzenelenbogen tz”l that a descendant was mispallel at his kever. The upcoming Yurtzeit will also be on a Shabbos Kodesh B’shalach – Shire. In the event that we will not yet be zoche to Tchiyas ha’meisim Ch”v, the talmidim of Tora v’yirah and the descendants of R’ Chaim Binyumin that are presently in the USA will iy”h have the zchus to gather a minyan for the first time at the kever!
The Kever is located at:
Mount Zion Cemetery
(Chelkas Chayei Olam, SECTION CL, GATE 1, ROW 6, GRAVE 5)
