  My previous comment lost the Hebrew words, I was reffering to the diffrence of pernounciation between Zilber and Silver.

  Rabbi Silver, was first Rav in Harrisburg PA, where his son Rabbi David Leib Silver took over, any idea where his son is buried?

  Rav Silver had a famous SIL Rabbi Yehudah Gershoni who later lived in Isreal and printed the Shutah Mkubetzet Hachodosh he was known as an “Ilu” and I think he served in the Merchaz Harav yeshivah from the Mizrachi, can anyone confirm?

  Miller, Rav Silver himself published the Shita MeKubetzes on Yoma. I have seen it / used it. In fact there is a story that when Rav Yosef Dov Soloveitchik came to the states he gave a shuir to a large crowd of Rabbonim, one of them being his future friend Rav Silver, Rav Soloveitchiks father told him that he shouldn’t be intimidated by all the Rabbis with tall hats and long beards since they havent opened a sefer since they got off the boat. The only person you should be afraid of is Rav E. Silver. And after the shuir was over Rv Silver was indeed the only one to come over to the him with kashas on his shuir. The shuir was on maseches Yoma.

  Rav Silver (son) moved to Kew Gardens Hills to live with his daughter. For many years he davened at Congregation Bais Yosef Dulem (Rabbi Freidman’s shule) as an unassuming congregant. I believe he is buried in EY, I will look into it.
  Thank you,

  Baruch,
  I asked rabbi Males who is now the Rabbi in Harrisburg PA in the Kesher Israel Congregation.
  His reply was that he was originally buried in Harrisburg and later on transferred to Isreal where he has a son living who is a Rosh Yeshivah in Kerem B’Yavne.

  This morning I met Rav Aaron Benyamin Silver in shule, he told me that his father requested that he be moved after a year.

  Rabbi David L. Silver z”l and his wife were in fact first burried in Harrisburg, PA.

  They were later moved to Israel.

  Their original tombstones still stand in our shul’s cemetery here in Harrisburg, PA.

  Would you like me to send in a picture?
