The exact grave coordinates are not confirmed yet — go by the address and ask locally. We don't publish a coordinate we haven't checked.

1.This is the only Jewish burial ground left in the city, on Minskaya street. It was opened in 1921 — the year the rov himself was niftar, and he is the reason it exists.
2.His kever is NOT in the row with the other rabbonim of Bobruisk. The chassidim asked for him to be buried apart, in a place of his own, precisely so that a building could be put up over it and people could come and daven there.
3.The ground is being restored: paths cleared, undergrowth and fallen trees taken out. Later stages are meant to add proper paths and water. Expect work in progress rather than a finished site.
