Person · 5610–5697 AM · 1850 CE — 1937 CE
Rabbi Zeev Twersky of Rachmastrivka רבי זאב טברסקי מרחמסטריווקא
son of the founder of Rachmastrivka; he led a court in Tulchin and in Jerusalem
Son of Rabbi Yochanan Twersky, founder of the Rachmastrivka court, and grandson of Rabbi Mordechai of Chernobyl. He was born on 5 Adar 1850.
After his father's death in 1895 the sons became rebbes in different places; he led a court in Tulchin, and later went up to Jerusalem.
He died on 20 Sivan 1937. In Rachmastrivka itself the court was held by his brother Rabbi Menachem Nachum, but the sources give no Hebrew date of his death, and we have no record of him yet—for that reason no number among the Rachmastrivka rebbes is counted for Rabbi Zeev.
