Re: re your article in Mishpacha

Rav Reuven Chaim Klein the first (author of Shenos Chaim) was the father of your ancestor Rav Hersch Ber and my ancestor Binyamin Eliezer. Rav Hersch Ber was the father of Rav Reuven Chaim Klein the second (author of Mateh Reuven). Does that answer your question?

No, I'm not a descendant of Rav Hersh Ber, I am a descendant of his older brother, Binyamin Eliezer:

Hi Reuven Chaim

 

My name is Levi Yitzchok Bernath

I was wondering if you are a descendant of  Rav Hersh Ber Klein of Minkatch.

 

I am his great grandson.

My Grandmother was his daughter - Miriam Malka (Klein) Maged HY"D from Tetch

I know Rav Reven Chaim was a major Talmud Chochom and Mechaber Seforim and a brother to my Grandmother (or possibly an uncle)

 

Please get back to me

 

 

Thank You
