In the first row: Seated second from left is Reb Shmuel Dovid Gurkov, a”h, and first from right is his brother Reb Sholom Ber Gurkov of Montreal.

In the second row: Standing second from right is Reb Avremel Shemtov, shliach in Philadelphia and Aguch chairman. Standing, second from left, is Reb Berel Futerfas, today in Crown Heights.

In the top row: Standing, top row, third from right is Reb Faivish Vogel, shliach in London, England.

Rav Yitzchok Dubov is seated third from right, with Rav Segal to his right.

Can you identify any more of them?
