where was he buried?
EY
His (2nd) levaya was at the Mir Yeshiva in Israel. He was prob. buried on Har Hamonuchos.
I’m wondering if he is one of my husband ancestors.
I’m looking for family maybe someone has some information I’ll be very happy to receive information about the family
His son was Harav Avraham Shkop, who passed a few years ago. (He didn’t have any children).
Batia – maybe you can supply us with some information about your husband’s family, maybe someone here can help.
It seems not correct that Avraham Shkop was a son of Mordechai. They were brothers, both sons of Rav Shimon Shkop.
No he was a son of Reb Moshe Mordechai, and brother-in-law of Reb Zelig Epstein who was a son-in-law of Reb M.M.
In Reb Shimon’s seforim there are letters to × ××× ××ר××.

If anyone has done a family tree of the Shkop (Shcop) family, I’d like to see it.
Many blessings,

I spent Shabbos with Rabbi Schkop and his Rebettzin in the early 1970s in their flat in Borough Park – I met them through the hospitality section at the U.N in New York – I was invited several times – I do not remember children but there were always lots of young people invited Friday night and Shabbos lunch – I lived on 1st Avenue facing the UN building, I stayed there Friday nights. I took my mother to meet them when she came over from London. My grandparents came from Grodno to London in 1890s and some went to the U.S
