    I was at this grave today. Rabbi Kaplan is my Great-Great Grandfather. I can provide some family history. I would love to learn more about him, his life and contribution to the community.

    He wrote many Chidusie Torah in the Torah Journal Yagdil Torah.

    I dont know where the information that he was rabbi in Bnai Yisroel – Shomre shabbos comes from, but I find him being the Rabbi of Cong. Bnai Avrohom of Brooklyn:
    http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=31789&st=&pgnum=6&hilite=

    (Intresting how he spelled the name טוביא instead of טובי-ה this is probably for the reason of not writing the י-ה)

    And by-the-way, his fathers name is not mentioned on the Matzieve (grave stone) but in the link above you can see it was Yehuda Leib Kaplan.

    Miller:
    Correct. Look at the spelling of his father’s name, Yehuda with an Aleph.

    Leibel,

    To spell Yehuda with an Aleph is much more common and custom the Tovia, as a matter of fact it is not even mentioned as an option in Beth Shmuel, see:
    http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=8084&st=&pgnum=58
    whereas the name Yehuda altough in a get it is written with an Hah, it is still mentioned in Beth shmuel 9see next page in above link) as Kosher if written with an Aleph.

    [What is interesting to note that in Talmud the name Tovia is spelled with an Aleph as teh Armaic format would require]

    Besides being a Rav he was also fundraising for the Telz Yeshiva.

    In this piece of Hamodia in 1912 he mourns the death of a big philanthrop in Brooklyn who died.
