my paternal grandfather rabbi avraham bukspan was as well the head of the chevra shas in phily. after coming to eretz yisroel from chelm (yes, that city) he, as a bochur was a melamed in the chai olam yeshiva in yerushalayim. Rabbi Simcha Zisel Brody (late rosh yeshiva of chevron) told me that he was a talmid in his class. There of course is so much more to say.
I wuld appreciate YD Miller getting in touch with me, if he knew or has information about Rabbi Avraham Bukspan
probably related to R’ Moshe Aron Bukspan from Chelm who was nifter in Yerushalayim in 1906
This is my great grandfather’s (Joseph Bukspan) brother. I would love to get more information about their nuclear family if anyone has it. Please reach out to nancibramson@gmail.com if you have any information.
