Note: Over the last number of years this picture has been mistakenly identified as Rav Meir Shlomo Yanovsky, Chief Rabbi, Mykolaiv, Ukraine (d. 1933), father of Rebbetzin Chana. It has since been confirmed that the rabbi in the picture is Rav Shlomo Yanovsky (d. 1929) who lived on the Lower East Side and later in Tel Aviv where he is interred. Credit: M. Young, Tenafly, NJ
