    Yes. You cannot tell from these pictures, however he is buried right in front of his father (there’s a little family section). His headstone is identical in design to his fathers.

    Has anyone heard of the name Morim or Marim before?

  • 5 YD Miller // Oct 28, 2009 at 11:14 am

    Asher,
    The name Morim was given to him by his father in memory of his great uncle, the brother of his mother, Rabbi Mier (Meyer) Morim Shofit Z”l of Kobrin, the author of the Sefer Ha’Nir on Talmud Yerushalmi.

    Morim is a “kinu” (Nick-name or so) derived from Meyer, and is still used by some (I know personally someone with this name).

    Rabbi Yood’s son Eliyahu Moshe is buried alongside him. His tombstone is non descriptive. However the tombstone of his granddaughter reads Dina bas Harav HaGoan Eliyahu Moshe. Does anyone have additional information?

    DD, you mentioned Dina Yood, checking her headstone it says “beloved wife, mother, grandmother great grandmother” why does she have her maiden name written (DINA YOOD)?

    Also she is buried next to her uncle, from what i observed in that society, they would only place a women next to another women, perhaps family plots is different.

    Got some clarification;
    Dina Yood was the wife of Chaim Morim and also a niece of his. Her maiden name was Levine.

    Dina’s Father Eliyohu Moshe Levine was Chaim Morims’ brother in law and father in law.

    Eliyohu Moshe Yood, buried alongside Chaim Morim, was their (Chaim Marim and Dina’s) son.

    DD, this answers your question; the Gaon Harav Eliyahu Moshe on Dina’s headstone refers to Eliyahu Moshe LEVINE not to Eliyohu Moshe (her son) buried behind her.

    Rabbi Yood was also a rav in Atlanta, at Congregation Ahavat Achim (1913-1918). He had some interaction with Rabbi Tuvia Geffen, during the latter’s earlier years at Shearith Israel. (As told to me by Rabbi Geffen’s grandson.)

  • 11 Asher // Dec 25, 2009 at 2:16 pm

    Menachem, can you get me Rabbi Geffen grandsons’ contact info. TY.

    I was told last night that Rav Yood left Atlanta after the Lynching episode of Leo Frank in Georgia in 1915. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Frank
