I have seen a picture of the never of rabbi matlin and I find it strange that it doesn’t say ..hacohen…As we are a family of cohanim. Can anyone shed light on this please
In the book Orthodox Judaism in America it says that before Rabbi Matlin went to Iowa, he was in Montana trying to build a Jewish community but was unsuccessful.
He was definitely a Kohen. There is a famous story where his son Akiva left medical school because he was a Kohen. As a side, Akiva was why he started a school in the first place.
WHO WAS RABBI YAKOV SHMIEL MATLIN SON OF R MATISYUHI
Michael you are right about being cohanim. My email address is heatherlmhc@aol.com. My mother was Ada Epstein Silverman, granddaughter of Rabbi Moshe Meir Matlin. I would like to figure out how we are related.
On the Kever it says כ”צ, meaning כהן צדק.
