Maharsham of Barzen's Gravesite Located
by A. Cohen

After several long months of concerted efforts in cooperation with local government heads in the Levov and Barzen areas the precise location of the grave of the Maharsham of Barzen, the leading posek of his generation in Galicia, was discovered.

In a complicated operation a new gravestone was discretely erected at the Maharsham's grave in the Barzen cemetery near the Galician border. This week a sizable group of the Maharsham's descendants will set out to the gravesite to commemorate his yahrtzeit on the 16th of Shevat, sending up their prayers in the merit of the gaon and tzaddik and entreating Shochen Meromim to redeem Klal Yisroel from its difficult state. The Maharsham passed away in 5671 (1911).
