   It is believed that the Rabbi with the black beard (no glasses) is Rabbi Kaplan:

   Hi,

   I have a handwritten letter from Rabbi Kaplan. On the letter it says Rav of Bnei Yehuda.

   Maybe someone is interested??

   Thanks,
   Yossi Gross.

   Someone ask the current Rabbi of Bnai Yehuda if he knows the whereabouts of Harav Kaplans burial place – he didn’t – he suggested googling the news archives – i wasn’t successful yet.

   There’s a Mordechai Kaplan, obviously famous – wondering if he was related to him.

   ר’ אשר על אותו מרדכי שזכרת,
   בבחינת בין ארור המן לברוך מרדכי ודו”ק

    1951 is not the same year as 5701. Which year is the correct one?

    The correct year is 1951 = 5711. The link at the top of this page points to his obituary from the March 1951 (אדר א-ב, תשי”א) issue of HaPardes.

    Yossi Gross, if you still have the letter written by Rabbi Kaplan, I would love to get it for my husband, who is Rabbi Kaplan’s great grandson.

    Could someone tell me if anything was written about Rabbi Kaplan impact on the Jewish community? Thanks, my father grew up in boro Park and his grandfathers aron Lippmann and Jacob Handelman were among the founders of the shul. My father however didn’t understand Yiddish. Thanks I’d appreciate information.
