   Rabbi Charney was from the town of Sokoly in Poland.

   Before World War I, Rabbi Zeidel received a rabbinical position in London. During the years of the War, when the Germans bombed and destroyed London, Rabbi Zeidel received a rabbinical position in the city of Birmingham, England. Later, Rabbi Zeidel arrived in the U.S. At first he held a rabbinical position in Revere, Massachusetts, near Boston, and later he was given a position in Bayonne, New Jersey, where he served years as the spiritual leader of the United Synagogues. Rabbi Charney was also appointed as a chaplain in the American army.

   The name Zeidel that is mentioned on the Stone is actually how he was called in Europe (I first thaught this was part of his father’s name).
