  While Rabbi Braver was rav in Kansas City, there was a big “machlokes” which was sparked when a fellow rav in the city “massered” on him during the Prohibition Era, in an effort to have Rav Braver’s permit to purchase sacramental wine revoked. It created a huge uproar.

  Menachem:
  Just how do you know this?

  I searched through the personal papers of Rabbi Tuvia Geffen, and in one of the folders is a hachraza admonishing the other rav for “massering” on Rabbi Braver. The hachraza also had a copy of the letter the other rav submitted to the government officials. You can email me privately if you want more info.

  It appears to me that his Father Reb Moshe Yitzchok Braver was also a Rabbi here in the US in Sioux City (pernounced Sue-City) Iowa.
