  Baruch, do U have a picture of the matseiva, so that we should be able to C his and his fathers names.

• 2 Torontonian // Dec 2, 2008 at 7:36 pm

  The ohel is locked, who has the key?

• 3 joel // Dec 2, 2008 at 11:40 pm

• 4 Pinchos // Dec 9, 2008 at 2:35 am

  His fathers name was Reb Yisroel Rav of Vaslitz and a talmud of the Divrei Chaim.
  Last time I was there there was a open door on the inside of the Bais Hachaim. I think it is connected to another room which is used by the caretakers and there is a door between the rooms.

• 5 Torontonian // Dec 9, 2008 at 3:43 pm

  That explains the white house attached to the ohel.

• 6 Grand Rebbe // Dec 23, 2008 at 9:31 pm

  You can gain access from the attached white (empty) ohel, there is a combination lock on the door

  Interestingly, the Rebbe and Rebbetzin are buried in the same ohel. Does he have any descendants?

• 8 Grand Rebbe // Dec 23, 2008 at 9:40 pm

  As is the Satmar Rebbe and Rebbetzin, why do you find that interesting?

• 9 Torontonian // Dec 23, 2008 at 10:37 pm

  The Skvira Rebbes are buried in separate ohels.

• 10 Grand Rebbe // Dec 23, 2008 at 10:41 pm

  A-zoy hut de tuta gaton!!!!!!!
  Apparently, each has his own custom.

• 11 Cheskel // Dec 24, 2008 at 9:00 am

  In Dzikov the rebbes daughter was buried un the same ohel, about the rebbetzins I don’t remember right now.

  As for Satmer that was the minhag in Siget and Ihel.

  In Vizhnits, Komarna, Tsandz, Spinka inderheim the rebbetzins were not buried in the same ohel

• 12 Miller // Dec 24, 2008 at 4:38 pm

  In Riminev the Rebbe Reb Mendele is buried with the Rebetzin in the same ohel, same is in Sanz with some Rebetzins.

  In Benie-Brak Viznits there is a seperate Ohel for Rebetzins.

• 13 GrandRebbe // Dec 24, 2008 at 5:13 pm

  Avraham Avinu is buried along side his Rebbetzin.

• 14 DuvidL // Dec 24, 2008 at 5:15 pm

  Rav Herschele Spinka, his Rebbetzin and daughter are in the same ohel.

• 15 ShlomieW // Dec 24, 2008 at 5:16 pm

  The Bobover Rebbetzin is buried outside the ohel.

• 16 Chaim // Dec 24, 2008 at 5:33 pm

  The Stretiner Rebbe in NJ is buried together with his Rebbetzin.

• 17 mib // Dec 25, 2008 at 4:23 am

  I have seen several places in Eastern Europe where woman are buried in the Ohel of a Tzaddik.
  In one case a daughter in law is buried with her father in law the previous Rebbe.

• 18 Cheskel // Dec 25, 2008 at 7:01 am

  DuvidL, thats why I wrote above that inderheim in Spinka it wasn’t so.
  But in Munkatch the rebbetzun of the Chakal Yitschok is burid in the same ohel with her father the Veretskier rov-Ziditchoiver rebbe the Malbush.

  Miller, in Tsanz the rebbetzuns R not buried in the ohel.

  In Vizhnits Bnei Brak, the ohel of the rebbetzins is not of the Imrei Cayim nor his brother the Mekor Burech.

• 19 Chaim // Dec 25, 2008 at 5:07 pm

  Each has his own custom, some Admorim were against being buried in an ohel altogether. I have never been to Eastern Europe, but from the pictures its apparent that the Belzer Admorim are not in an ohel.

• 20 Jonathan // Jan 15, 2009 at 4:20 pm

  One commenter asked if Rabbi Naftali Tzvi Horowitz has any descendants. I am his great, great grandson. I live in Washington, D.C. But my cousin, also named Naftali Tzvi, runs a yeshiva for the deaf in Toronto. I’d love to hear stories or other information you might have about Rabbi Horowitz.

• 21 Jonathan // Jan 15, 2009 at 5:42 pm

  Oops. I meant to write that my cousin is Chaim Tzvi.

• 22 Torontonian // Jan 15, 2009 at 6:33 pm

  You must mean Rabbi Chaim Tzvi Kakon of Yeshivas Nefesh Dovid.

• 23 joel // Jan 16, 2009 at 4:01 pm

• 26 Shmuel // May 26, 2009 at 10:45 am

  GrandRebbe:
  Not only are they buried in the same ohel they share the same tombstone.
  Thank you,

• 28 Reb Elya // Oct 23, 2009 at 5:33 pm

  Rav Elya Meir Bloch ZT”L is buried together in the same Ohel as his Rebbetzin A”H.

• 29 LitFish // Oct 26, 2009 at 10:11 am

  Because he was a Litvak.

• 30 Pinchos // Oct 27, 2009 at 8:33 pm

  This has nothing to do with chassidish or Litvish, There are different minhagim in different Kehilos.

• 31 Baruch A // Oct 28, 2009 at 10:32 am

  Does anyone have bio info on the Rebbe?

• 32 YD Miller // Oct 28, 2009 at 11:10 am

  Baruch,
  I recently noticed in Eichlers in BP a small booklet with biographies on Rabbonim of Toronto, they have there a short Bio and a photo of the Rebbe.

  Unfurtanutley I forget the name of the book, its located in the Hebrew Biography section on the right side when you come in the stroe.

• 33 Pinchos // Oct 29, 2009 at 11:14 pm

  The Rebbe was a son of Rav Yisroel Horowitz of Vaslits a talmud of the Divrei Chaim and 1 of 3 talmudim that recieved smicha from the Divrei Chaim. The Bobover Rebbe zt”l told over that on that famous Shavuos that the Tiferes Slome of Radomsk came to Sanz the Radomske davened shachris and they ommited yotsros as was the minhag in Poland. The Sanzer then told the Radomske “let me show you how a Ropshitze Ainekil can daven”, and sent up his talmud the Vaslitze Rov. Reb Yisroel was a son of Reb Menachem Mendel of Linsk who was a son of Reb Avrum Chaim of Linsk who was the oldest son of the Ropshitzer . The kehila in Toronto sent a message to the Krakow that they need a Rov and the Rabbonim there chose Reb Naftuli Tzvi to go. The Kehila in Toronto was shocked when they recieved a Rebbe. Reb Naftuli Tzvi was also pressured to come by his daughter who was married to the Brownsviller Mezbisher Rebbe , Reb Shmuel Avrohom Rabinowitz a son of the Yampole Rebbe, Reb Eliezer Chaim, who was already in the United States since 1912. The Brownsville Rebbe also lived for about 2 years in Canada in St. Sifei, near Montreal, as he had to get away from NY since the authorities were after him for “giving out prescriptions for healing without being a pharmacist “.The Brownsville was a Baal Mofes and he gave out Kameos which helped people. In those days they accused him of witchcraft. He had to stay away for 2 years until he settled with the government.

• 35 Ben Bee Zee // Mar 7, 2010 at 12:09 pm

  I was there this past Friday and the near empty shed is removed and the Ohel has a nicer look.

  I’ll send you the picture it’s clearer then tho one posted.

• 36 Ben Bee Zee // Apr 22, 2010 at 3:56 pm

  I learned from an article someone linked today on this site that not he was the one who was called the Krukever-Torontoer Rebbe. There was a Rabbi Tzanger not at all a rebbishe einikel a Bobover Chusid who later moved to Montreal, he was called the Krukever-Torontoer Rebbe.

  There are many very interesting information in this article http://pi.library.yorku.ca/ojs/index.php/cjs/article/viewFile/22624/21095

• 37 Jacob Gluck // May 4, 2010 at 1:11 pm

  The Rebe’s son Yosef Baruch perished in the holocaust along with an older brother, Menachem Mendel.

  Reb Yosef Baruch’s son, Shmuel Zanvil, survived and lived in Boro Park, and he is survived by two sons, in Flatbush and Toronto.

  The Rebe had one son who did join him in Toronto, Reb Avraham, who retired to Jerusalem, Israel.

• 38 Crown Prince // Jun 1, 2010 at 10:14 pm

  I am a direct descendant – ben achar ben from him and of course the Ropschitzer himself.
  R’ Kakon in Toronto is a cousin of mine and a great man. A “doer” not just a talker (he and his wife).
