The Rebbi came to the United States in 1899 from Russia and settled on the Lower East Side. In 1910 he moved to Buffalo and headed the Jefferson Street Shule. In addition to his own great genealogy the Rebbe was the brother-in-law and chavrusa (study partner) of the renowned Rebbe Mordechai Dov of Hornisteiple.
The Rebbe appears to be the first Admor to be buried in the United States.

"סוף דבר, לבי לבי לחוקקי ישראל, מי לד' אלי, מקום הניחו לי להתגדר בו, ואתם גם אתם שחרו מכחכם לתקנות עגונות, אני פתחתי לכם פתח כפתחו של מחט, ואתם פתחו לי פתח כפתחו של אולם, ויחשב לכם לצדקה כי פי ה' דובר, וחי בהם"

May the merit of the tzadik Rebbi Eliyahu Yosef Rabinowitzprotect us all. Amen
