The Rebbe was among the first Admorim to lead a chassidic court in the United States. The previous Skolyer Rebbe once commented that his uncle (the Brownsviller) would read a thousand kvitals the first night of Slichos.
« Previous: Rabbi Yaakov Dovid GordonNext: Rabbi Avroham Galernter »
The Rebbe?s shule building still stands on 770 Howard Avenue to this day. I once met the yo?zel who now runs it, and he told me the building has a mikvah in the basement.
Is their a bracha to make when seeing a shule that ?change hands??
The Rebbe had a son Rabbi Baruch Rabinowitz, one of the arrangers of the Demonstration 1943 in Washington DC, he worked with Hillel Kook (Paul Bergson).
He also had a brother David and a sister Sylvia.

Miller, thanks, typical churben america.
Reb Baruch is buried in EY.
Both, Reb Dovid who passed away a few years ago, and is buried alongside the Rebbe and Sylvia Vogel have many choshover grandchildren living in EY, Brooklyn, and Baltimore.
Baruch,
Thats encouraging information, do you have a photo of Reb Dovid’s Matzieve?
What was the name of Sylvia’s Husband?
Next time I stop at the Brownsviller, I’ll get you a picture.
Sylvia’s Husband Was Rabbi Avraham Yiztchak Rosenberg Son of Rav Yehudah Yudel Rosenberg.
Rav Avraham Yitzchak was the Rav of Savannah For Many Years.
He Maintained and Strengthened Yiddishkeit in the Heart of the Southern United States.
That is Savannah, Ga.
And where is Rabbi Avraham Yiztchak Rosenberg burried?
The yartziet is tomorrow.
The other day I was at the Rebbe’s kever, I noticed that there is no candle box. It would be very befitting if we can pool together and raise the necessary money to cover the cost of at the very least a small candle box (or even a metal mailbox).
Baruch, I am pledging the first $10, please spearhead the collection.
Paul Bergson – should read Peter Bergson.
I am good for $10, now you have covered a metal mailbox.
Are you still looking for donations for the Candle box?
Yes, this far we have $20.
I will willing to donate $10 toawards this. Does anyone know what a modest candlebox costs?
Wrong, Sylvia’s husband was Eliyahu Vogel
Reb. Sylvia’s husband was Rav Rosenberg from Savannah GA. Reb Eliyahu Vogel was married to Reb. Chaya Perel (Helen).
Correction: Sylvia’s husband was Rabbi Avraham Yitzchok Rosenberg. Sylvia’s younger sister Helen (Chaya Perl) was the wife of Eliyahu Vogel
Was anyone at the Brownsviller Rebbe’s tzion on his yohrtzeit ד’ סיון
Yes I was. why?
PS Intresting note on the candle box it says

What was the maskuna with the candle box?
Nice box there with sign
This sunday (Tzom Gedaliah Nidche) ד’ תשרי is the Yartzeit of the Mezhbishe. There is a nice candle box. Poil Ales Gitz.
someone should educate the people working in the office of Mount Juda Cemetery. I came all the way from Monsey to be mispallel at his kever on his yahrtzeit, and no one in the office seemed to know who I was refering to. I had to go all way back home without being mispallel at his kever.
Wow, Chaval! (He’s buried in the section right behind Rav Pam z”l). The office knows about his father, the Yampoler, although they might not have his son listed together with him. The Brownsviller is listed on their site (not under Abraham but Samuel) – what name did u ask them to search for…?

Recently heard that when the Rebbe arrived on American shores he lived in Bayonne, NJ and he was called “Bayonner Rebbe”, until 1927 when Rabbi Mordechai Shlomo Of Boyan setteled In New York and was called “Boyaner Rebbe”, then the Rebbe started calling himself his original name “Mezhbizher Rebbe”. After he moved to Brownsville he was called “Brownsviller Rebbe”.
Is there any source this?
Tattale
Yes, family history.

Rabbi Dovid Eliezer Rabinowits zatzal who was the son of Harav Shmuel
Avrohom zatzal known as the Mezubuz, and later called the Brownsviller Rebbi who is buried in mount Judah cemetery
