It says that it is a small Ohel. What Ohel? In the backround I think I see an Ohel. Is that the Ohel of Rav Levi Yitzchak Greenwald ZT”L. I have been to his Ohel.
It’s a very small closed ohel (can’t get in), the “ohel” in the background is a garage across the street from the cemetery.
did he have sephardic ancestry?
Joels,
He was a direct decendant of Rabbi Yakov Yosef of Ostraha, auther of “RAV YAIVEE”. Between rav Yavee’s decendents there were 3 difirent family names, which are: YAIVIN, MANDEL & SFARD.
