The Rebbe?s shule building still stands on 770 Howard Avenue to this day. I once met the yo?zel who now runs it, and he told me the building has a mikvah in the basement.

The Rebbe had a son Rabbi Baruch Rabinowitz, one of the arrangers of the Demonstration 1943 in Washington DC, he worked with Hillel Kook (Paul Bergson).
He also had a brother David and a sister Sylvia.

Sylvia’s Husband Was Rabbi Avraham Yiztchak Rosenberg Son of Rav Yehudah Yudel Rosenberg.
Rav Avraham Yitzchak was the Rav of Savannah For Many Years.

The other day I was at the Rebbe’s kever, I noticed that there is no candle box. It would be very befitting if we can pool together and raise the necessary money to cover the cost of at the very least a small candle box (or even a metal mailbox).
Baruch, I am pledging the first $10, please spearhead the collection.

Paul Bergson – should read Peter Bergson.
14 Grand Rebbe // Feb 7, 2010 at 3:59 pm
I am good for $10, now you have covered a metal mailbox.
15 YaakovShalom // Mar 15, 2010 at 5:30 pm
Are you still looking for donations for the Candle box?
16 Admin // Mar 16, 2010 at 12:24 pm
Yes, this far we have $20.
17 YG // Mar 16, 2010 at 1:39 pm
I will willing to donate $10 toawards this. Does anyone know what a modest candlebox costs?

Wrong, Sylvia’s husband was Eliyahu Vogel
20 Yingele // May 13, 2011 at 3:22 pm
Reb. Sylvia’s husband was Rav Rosenberg from Savannah GA. Reb Eliyahu Vogel was married to Reb. Chaya Perel (Helen).

Correction: Sylvia’s husband was Rabbi Avraham Yitzchok Rosenberg. Sylvia’s younger sister Helen (Chaya Perl) was the wife of Eliyahu Vogel
