    This conference started on the 8th day of Kislev 5717-1957 in Rockaway Park, NY and went on for 3 days with over 300 Rabbonim and Leaders attending:

    I guess this photo is of one small meeting one of the committees, and according to one source the person in the photo # 10 is Reb Chaim Tzvi Kriger formerly from Brussels:

    I showed the picture to my neighbor, Rav Shmerel Shulman and he identified the rabbonim in the picture as:
    #2 Rav Mayer Cohen – Asbury Park, NJ
    #7 Rav Simcha Elberg
    #8 Rav Shimon Morduchovitz – Bronx, NY
    # 10 Rav Chaim Tzvi Kruger
    It would be great if someone can confirm.

    Number 2 looks like Rabbi Zalman Reichman from the Bronx who put out some of the Ramban’s on Shas

    It couldn’t have been the 1965 conference since R. Aharon Kotler z”l had already passed away by late 1962.

    My grandfather, Rabbi Meir Cohen, the former Executive Vice President & Menahel of the Agudas Harrabonim of North America for over twenty years, and Mechaber of the Sefer “Chelkas Meir” on the Rambam (who’s father was Rabbi Shmuel Burzstyn the Mechaber of the seforim Minchas Shabbos & Ma’adanai Shmuel on Hilchos Pesach), was incorrectly identified as the rabbi # 2 in the picture, when he is really the rabbi situated as # 8. My Zaidie is sitting to the immediate right of Rabbi Yaakov Ruderman the Rosh Yeshiva of Ner Yisroel and is sitting two seats to the left of Rabbi Aharon Kotler of Beth Medrash Govoha.

    Hi Baruch Cohen,
    When did your Zieda pass away and where is he buried?
    His seforim Chelkas Mier are available on Hebrew Books.org, here is part I:

    Just for the information;
    This picture with the numbering and all the info of who the Rabbonim are, was this week in the Mishpacha without mentioning/crediting where they took it from.
