Rav Tzvi Hirsch Grodzinsky was Reb Chaim Ozer's second cousin. He came to Omaha, Nebraska, in the beginning of the century, and became Rov there. There was a small Jewish community there, mostly involved in shechita. He went by the name Rabbi Henry Grodzinsky, as he writes in the address of the author page of his sefer. The sefer he wrote was Likutei Tzvi, printed in 1916, which I picked up at some sheimos cleaning event at some shul, where they get rid of the unused old seforim on the shelves. It is mostly marei makom on Orach Chaim. In the back, he has a Kuntres Achron on sugyos in Orach Chaim. The first one is on the Magen Avraham that asks why we should say Olah before Chatas. He brings down what others have said, and says his own teretz as well. The fourth teretz he brings is from Reb Refoel Hamburger in the Daas Kedoshim Drush 1, that amira does not achieve Achilas Kohanim, and he disagrees with it.<br><br>As I said in the post, Reb Aharon Soloveichik said that the Brisker Rov said that between him and Reb Chaim Ozer, he was the more gifted. But he and his family sank into the desert that he lived in, and no zeicher of a shomer shabbos was left of his descendants- yet. Some local people wrote a paper, "Maintaining tradition: A survey of the life and writings of Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Grodzinsky. By Rosenbaum, Jonathan, Wakschlag, Myron Grodzenski, Tsevi Hirsh, and interviewed his children. He asked them how it came about that he was such a great scholar and they drifted so far away. One of them told him that when they were growing up, they were out on the street, and he was upstairs in his study reading his books, and that was that.Barzilaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16036989084122930226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6453787673476195995.post-30663046968655428692010-05-12T20:37:29.224-05:002010-05-12T20:37:29.224-05:00>>>in a sefer by Reb Chaim Ozer's cou...>>>in a sefer by Reb Chaim Ozer's cousin from Omaha, Reb Tzvi Hirsch Grodzinky<br><br>Excuse my ignorance (lo habayshan lomeid), but who is this and what is the name of the sefer?Chaim B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02231811394447584320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6453787673476195995.post-14256714338113732562010-05-12T06:37:55.691-05:002010-05-12T06:37:55.691-05:00I have nothing to contribute to the discussion oth...I have nothing to contribute to the discussion other than mentioning the k'ilu discussion is brought at the Pesach Seder.<br><br>Fascinating!Nosson Gestetnerhttp://gtorah.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6453787673476195995.post-34055585251474318382010-05-11T12:55:42.695-05:002010-05-11T12:55:42.695-05:00Thanks, Eli.

There are problems blurring a child's identity so that future descendants might not realize they are kohanim, or think they are when they aren't.<br><br>Another topic is where the child was born a non-Jew. Then the questions of yichus become irrelevant (unless the family are kohanim) -- one can't accidentally marry a sister, and it's easier to permit using "ben Adoptive-Father".<br><br>Also, many of these teshuvos were written at a time when the norm was not to tell people a child was adopted. Today the norm is to know something about the birth family. One of my sons' birth-mother would visit once in a very long while.
