Reb Simcha was first Rav in the Brisker Shul on Allen St. and then moved to (?) where the comunity baught him a nice appartment and made other accomodations for the son of the Beis Halevi.

I learn the above from a speech that Reb Mier Freiman delivered in honor of the acceptance of the new psotion and printed it in his sefer Nachlas Mier, Rabbi Freiman was a Talmud of the Bies Halevi.

Unfurtunatley, he does not mention the place where Reb Simcha went to.

Reb Simcha was the Rav Hamachshir of the famous Horowitz-Margareten Matzohs

The family doesnt’t want to publish them, but I heard from one of the magedei shuir in the mir that he was able to get photocopies of R. Chaim’s on Baba Kama.

I know that the grandchildren have notes from the Beis Halevi, some were printed recently in “Kol Brisk”, I never heard about notes from Reb Chaim.

I heard that during WWI, his brother Reb Chaim gave him his kisavim to hold onto for safe keeping. He later left for the US and took them with him. These Kesavim are now in the possession of his grandchildren in Israel.

They were notes on Talmud and Zohar.
