The Rabbi of the Wall Street Synagogue (Meyer) has a brother (Moshe). Did the Radawitzer has any other grandchildren?
No, Unfortunately his only son had these two sons who never married
Some good photos of the Tzion and its surroundings, including the tumbstones of his Rebbetzin and Son.

Is anyone interested in helping to restore the Ohel?

Mo, I see what you mean – perhaps it suppose to read as the following;
ראדאוויטצער
רעבעצין
הרבנית שפרינצא ע”ה
האגער
כ”ה ניסן תשכ”א
בת אדמו”ר הרה”צ
ר’ ישראל שמואל

Does anyone know who was the mother of Reb Yisroel? In other words, the great-grandmother of Reb Moshe and Rabbi Meir Hager?
Ilanith
you mean who was the wife of reb moishe radvitzer the autor of the vydaber moishe alfasi in his book writes that Reb moishe divorced her after 25 years before leaving to eretz yisroel but he does not write who she was may i ask what is your intrest
Just found your post, so sorry. Rebbe R. Moishe radvitzer was my great great grandfather. After writing this, I did hear that he had been divorced. I would still like to find out more about who she was and where she came from. Which book is vydaber moishe alfasi?
Ms ilanit
how are you related veydaber moishe is the book of his discourse on the weekly parsha i have read somewhere that after his divorce a letter from local rabbis was isued against his divorce from his wife
I didn’t know he wrote Vaydaber Moishe I thought he only wrote vayikach Moshe, his daughter Tzirel was my great grandmother Thank you so much for the information.
Ms Ilanit
my mistake he only wrote vayikach Moshe by the way who was your G.G mother married to also did The Rabbi of the Wall Street Synagogue Rav meyer hagar have any siblings
Rav Meyer zatzal had one brother who continues the traditions of the shule. Are you familiar with my family? I am trying to get more information about my great grandfather. His name was Reb Avraham Tzvi, I understand that he was a tzaddik, as they had added the name “malach” to his name when he got sick. Unfortunately, he was niftar shortly afterwards. I do not know his last name, but I was told that he was a descendent of Reb Levi Yitzchok of Berdichev. Are you related to my family?
Ilanith,
Avraham Tzvi’s wife Tzirel was a daughter of R’ Moshe Hager, Thier kids adopted the name Hager.
One son was Professor Dr. Yoseph Hager who lived in Israel, a letter of his to Moses Bloch can be seen here:
http://www.archive.org/stream/chaimbloch00reel02#page/n1005/mode/1up
He writes a little about his family, how they were 3 children, 2 sons and one daughter.
Are you his daughter?
Prof. Yoseph Alter Hager was my grandfather. He was a son to Tzirel. He had one brother (Itzik) and one sister (Roza), they both made it to America and are buried in Beth David. My father is the older son, Avraham, named for his grandfather, Avraham Tzvi.
Thank you so much for the letter. I will print it out and read it. Does anyone know more about Reb Avraham Tzvi? They lived in Tzfat, and although Tzirel’s kever is intact, we can not find Reb Avraham Tzvi’s. We know approximately where it is, although it appears that the markings are not imprinted on it anymore.
Ms Ilanit
two years ago i had a long talk with reb meyer about his family what is the name of the new rov of wall street
M. Kennedy
I am not a local at the synagogue, but I checked it up online, and see that Reb Meyer continues to be noted as the Rabbi of the shule.
M. Kennedy
Apparently Reb Moshe, the brother of Reb Meyer, is continuing with the responsibilities of the shule.
Was at the Rebba today and noticed your post. You should also point out that Reb Meyer doesn’t have a tombstone either.

The rabbi left a only son rabbi Yosef shield and he left two sons the older one is rabbi Moshe hager of Manhattan that I personaly met him he has an unusual knowledge in history and in Torah .the younger one recently died his name was rabbi Mayer hager he was also a special guy as I heard from others
I am a descendent of R’ Moshe Tzvi Magid zt’l. His mother, Rebitzin Bracha, was a sister of R’ Moshe Radovitz’s zt’l mother Rebitzin Leah.
I went this summer to visit the Radivitz shul in Tzfas. I told that it’s private property and I wasn’t allowed in. Very disheartening to say the least. Does anyone know controls the shul now ?
Thanks
Hello
We are descendents of R. Moshe Radovitz. Can we be in touch by email? My address is wholechildslp@gmail.com.
The last time that I was there was Pesach, 2015. The shule had been inhabited a few years before by a group of local Breslover Chasidim. At that time, the shule was left open at all times for people to use.
Kol tuv
I was there today on the day of the yurtzeit Zy”u
My family comes from Radautz in the Holocaust, all my ancestors were from Radautz, I am Chassidic, I live in Jerusalem, I study at Yeshivah Torah Emunah, I would like to know if the Rebbe’s dynasty still continues or if there are people who want to take it back.
