   He wrote a sefer “Bemoado” in honor of his parents 50th wedding anniversary. It is a collection of many of his d’roshos.

   Miller:
   I knew Rebbe Menachem Dovid Chodorov and he was a Rebbe if there ever was one. The Rebbes midos and character are indescribable. Sadly, the Rebbe spent his last years in the Fort Tryon Nursing Home in Washington Heights where he was soon forgotten.

   Grand Rebbe ,

   I have a copy of Netzach Shebinetzach, a book put out several years ago by the Tolner rebbe of israel’s grandson. there is an entry for both Tolner-Viznitzer rebbes but no info on later generations.

   Did R. Menachem Dovid have any children? Do you know of any grandchildren? I have a website about the Tolner rebbes (http://tolnerrebbes.blogspot.com/). Do you have any info about him that I can add to the site?

   He had children but I don’t know how “frum” or where they are today. I once heard a story that the children sold his Rabbeinu Tam Tefillin which were attributed to have once belonged to the holy Rebbe, Rebbe Zushia of Anapoli.

   The best person to ask is Yitz Twersky of Queens, he is extremely knowledgeable in Chernobyler yichus.

   He has a son somewhere in New Jersey (I frogot where), I met him once and he told me that while his father was sick in the hospital all the valuables of his father’s home – which was always open to everyone – were taken by people, and that’s how nothing of his Yerisha was left.

   I saw him on Shabbos he came along with Yitz Twersky to celebrate his son Mordchei Yisroels Bar Mitzva. He was observant came to Shul and participated in all services, it didn’t seem to be strange to him. He’s retired from the telephone company.

   Wasn’t he related somehow to Reb Mendele fron Vishive, the son of the Ahavas Yisroel?

   Asher, that’s a nice pic. But I was referring to a picture with them sitting at a head table by some sort of function.

    He had one son Samuel or Shmuel Avraham Abba Who is buried next to the Rav. He died in 1985.
    He had 2 grandsons Mark Chodrow and Don Chodrow Don died recently.
    I briefly corresponded with Mark, but seems like he is not so interested.
    The Rav has a few Great grandchildren, one of whom wrote a book on their family
    It is called Sarah’s Story by Sarah Chodrow
    Trying to get a copy
    There is a great likeness between the 2 grandsons and the Rav

    Bought a copy of B’Moado that the Rav wrote in 1937 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of his parents. The dedication is interesting – calling his wife Chanala and his son Shmuel Avroham Abba after his wife’s father.
    I believe they were first cousins so this may be his uncle?
