  1. I believe the info that you posted may not be accurate. R’ Yisroel Eliezer Kanarek zt”l was the founder of the Yeshiva in Peekskill not R’ Uri Meir. Rav Uri Meir’s last name was Kahanow and he isn’t related to R’ Yosef z”l.

  3. I hope there will will be a write up about R’ Yosef Z”L. The hespedim were inspiring. How to live a life of just doing all the right things without any fanfare. It’s no wonder that he left such special children to carry that legacy. YhZ”B
