Does anyone have a picture of the other side (back side) of his matzeiva?
My parents were married by this holy Rabbi in 1955. My father was a Holocaust survivor from Varshe, after the war, lived in a DP camp( Heidenheim) where he must have met a relative of the holy Klausenberg Rabbi(several Rabbis that survived Holocaust from the illustrious Sanz Dynasty/Halberstam family helped restore Jewish life in many DPCamps) I just recently discovered that The Chakowa Rabbi’s brother (Haim Judah Halberstam, both Sinai Halberstam’s sons, both great grandsons of Chaim Halberstam, Sanz Dynasty) was the ABD of Osweicim/Oshpitzen, murdered by Nazis) The Tshakower Rabbi NY and the Klausenberger Rabbi were first cousins. I hope to learn more and I’m grateful my parents received ‘ Khupah Kedusha’ from this Holy Rabbi( I will look at my parents wedding pics and try to see if I have a pic of the Rabbi…and it will be like a treasure of sorts too!) This is biographical and my own personal connection(Shalom from a proud ‘pintaleh’ Jew!)
