Another brother mentioned there is Reb Meir Silberman. Anyone know where he is buried?
The Shul ‘Adas Bnie Yisroel – Shomre Shabbos’ where Rav Moskowitz gave Shiurim, was in Williamsburg, Brooklyn on Marcy Ave. corner Park.
Does this shul still exist?
He was a brother of Rabbi Yehoshua Zimbalist of hurodno Grodno. The brothers eschew took different fancily names. Rabbi Zimbalist settled in Minsk and became rosh yeshivas there. He was the last person to keep a large yeshiva running under the Bolshevik regime. He moved to Jerusalem in the 1930s. The revered Rabbi Avrohom Yehoshua Solovveichik is his great-grandson.
This is my great-grandfather. I have a hard copy of his sefer that belonged to my grandfather (the rabbi’s son). I am his son Levi’s daughter Miriam’s son. He had over 30 (thirty) grandchildren, including my mother Miriam, and more great-grandchildren than I know of. (Even my Mom never met all of her first cousins, who were his grandchildren.)
