    R’ BenZion AH is actually survived by nine brothers KAH, including the 2 you mentioned in the US. They include R’ Tzvi Hirsch (?) (HyperLipsker supermarket in Kfar Chabad), R’ Mordechai (Moti), Lod, R’ Pesachya, Nachlas Har Chabad, R’ Yisroel, Rechovot, and he also leaves behind four sisters whose names I do not know.
