discovery in בירזש, ליטע

Hi Tzig,

Remember you ran a story on Rav Pinchas Lintוp. Well, his Matzeiva was just uncovered in Birzai, Lithuania. I thought this might interest you and some of your readers. The goal of the good people who did this work is to document all the gravestones at the Birzai Jewish cemetery and to publish the epitaphs in Hebrew and in English with the photos on the web.If you want to support this project, you can make a donation via PayPal at shilklaper@gmail.com.

The Chabad Rov you never heard of who was a friend of Rav Kook and who was משיג on the לשם

Rav Pinchos haKohen Lintop of Birzh, Lithuania

This was a time where Rabbonim were, I guess, independent when it came to דעות, even if the Rebbe was of another opinion. Hebrewbooks tells us that Reb Pinchos was Rov in Vaboylnik.... at a time as well. How ironic!
