    There is a Rabbi Pinchas Kantrowitz in Ohr Somayach, he maybe related.

    Reb BBZ:
    I believe you are confusing this Rav Kantrowitz who passed away in 1893 with the Chief Rabbi of Newark, NJ.

    Rabbi Kantrowitz was the Rabbi of Congregation Beis Israel Bikur Cholim an extremely orthodox shul http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=F10C14F63F5A1A738DDDAE0894D0405B8385F0D3.

    19 1880 he was involved together with other leaders in making a major movement to immigrate from Russia http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=FB0D17FF385813738DDDA80894D8415B828DF1D3 (last article).

    He died at age 66 from pneumonia http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=F10C14F63F5A1A738DDDAE0894D0405B8385F0D3.

    BBZ,

    Thanks for the info, I think two of those Times Articles are actulally the same thing, and it is interesting that the Obituary starts with “Saratoga” perhaps that is where he passed away.

    He was obviuosly the brother of R’ Yeruchem Tzvi

    It would be interesting to find out more on these two brothers.

    Rabbi Stern and Bee Bee Zee, that notice was about Hagaon Harav Yaakov Kantrowitz z”l, rav of Timkavitch and Trenton, NJ.
    New amazing sefer from him just published – “Igros Melochim”
    No relation to this Rav Elchanan Yaakov
