ר’ משה חיים ראבינוביץ היה מגדולי ההוראה והעומדים על הדת באמעריקא הוא היגר לכאן בשנת תרמ”ח 1888 מעיר לובטשע שבפלך מינסק, אביו היה אב”ד דעיר ההוא, שם בלובטשע הצטיין בלימודו וקבע לו שיעורים עם התלמידי חכמים המפורסמים והרבנים וגדולי העיר, במיוחד היה לו קביעת שיעורים עם אב”ד לומז’ה שהתפרסם אח”כ ע”ש ספרו ‘דברי מלכיאל’, גם למד במינסק אצל גדולי הרבנים דשם.
כאמור היגר לארה”ב בשנת תרמ”ח ונתקבל כרב ומנהיג העדה בבראנזוויל, והוציא תקנות לחיזוק הדת והרמת קרן התורה וכבוד הרבנות, זכה לשיבה טובה ונפטר בשנת תרצ”ב בגיל פ”ב שנה, והשאיר אחריו חיבורים בכתובים על כל מקוצועות התורה.

Rabbi Rabinowitz was known as the “Gaon of Brownsville” On his Matzeive is written that he left lots of Chidushai Torah in writings, did this anytime saw light?
What about children? Today is his Yahrtziet

“Rabbi Rabinowitz was survived by one son Dr Harris M and two daughters Mrs Bessie Colman and Mrs JS Minkin the wife of Rabbi Minkin”
Who was rabbi Minkin?

Based on what Eisensdatdt writes in the above mentioned קול בכיי he first came in 1888 to NYC where he served as Dayan under Chief Rabbi RJJ, the in 1892 he went over to Brownsville

Rabbi Minkin mentioned above as the SIL of Rabbi Rabinowitz, was Jacob S. Minkin who was a conservative Rabbi in Rochester and author of many books.
