Rabbi Levine was a Litvak who was the Rabbi of Shaarei Tzedek Synagogue. He was Orthodox and he was the cheif Rabbi of Minneapolis. The beautiful synagogue was on Morgan or Newton Avenue. Lots of steps , but smaller than Mikro Kodesh on Oliver Avenue. When the neighborhood shifted, Shaarei Tzedek joined with another shul, I think it was Gemelus Chesed.

Rav Yitzchok Blazer (Peterburger) had a son-in-law living in Minneapolis, I think his name was Goldberg, do you know where he is buried?
