The correct spelling is “Anshe Sholom”, not “Shalom”. The cemetery is the property of the successor congregation, now called Anshe Sholom Bnai Israel Congregation after two mergers. It adjoins the wholly separate Beth Hamidrash Hagadol cemetery. (I write as Past President of the Congregation and a fourth-generation member.)
Can anyone shed light on Rabbi Silber’s birthplace, Alexandronsky/Alexandrovski? I cannot locate it on Google Maps but secondary sources claim it is near Marijampole and/or Kaunas. Any insight is much appreciated!
