Hi Stuart. I just sent you email with a picture of Rabbi Yoelson’s headstone, the location of the Ohev Shalom cemetery, and contact information for the cemetery. I kept looking up Rabbi Yoelson and came up with these photos, too!
All the best,
Marcia
My grandmother, Fanny Jolson Berger was born in Srednik Lithuania. She was a cousin to both the Rabbi and his second wife. My late father recalled visits by the 2nd Mrs. Jolson to NY to visit with family.
