   Is this the same Rabbi Yankel Cohen that was a Rav in Spring Valley?

   Is this Rav Cohen, Rav Leeber’s brother? Both have Binyamin listed as the father’s name.

   Look what Rabbi Poisek writes (http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=23389&st=&pgnum=278 in the foot note) about Reb Liber’s family, what I understand from it is that they were not brothers.

   I believe they that Rav Cohen is indeed Rav Leeber Cohen’s (or LIber) brother. I am a great-grandson, and I am pleased to see this photo and the comments. I will look for the grave this October.

   HaRav Leeber Cohen was my great grandfather. His wife was Udel A’H. He had two sond Biyamin who never married and Rav Yankel Cohen who was the Rav in Spring Valley. There are two great grandsons who are both Dr. Leeber Cohen -one in New York and one in Chicago.

    Reb Yankel and Reb Liber were indeed brothers, however it seems that they were from different mothers. As R’ Liber’s mother was Chana whereas Reb Yankel’s mother was Rebecca.
