Letter signed by the Trisk (Turiisk) Rebbe, R. Mordechai Zusia Twersky. Iasi, [c. 1920s].
Long interesting letter written by a scribe, signed by "Mordechai Zusia son of R. M. N". Sent to R. Avraham Zilberman Rabbi of Safed, with interesting details of the distribution of the directorship of Kollel Romania among several heads: "The Bohush Rebbe, the Rebbe of Pishkan and the Rebbe of Galatz, who inherited the directorship from my father-in-law the Rebbe of Bohush…".
The Trisk Rebbe, R. Mordechai Zusia Twersky (died 1936), son of Rebbe Menachem Nachum of Brisk (1829-1887) and son-in-law of Rebbe Yitzchak of Bohush (Buhuși) (1835-1896). From 1891, he served as Rebbe in Russia, afterward moving to Iasi, known there as the "Rebbe from Russia". He was a great kabbalist and many wonder stories circulate about him. Rebbe David Twersky of Buhuși, R. Shalom Twersky of Proskuriv-USA and and R. Ya'akov Aryeh of Trisk are his descendants. His sons-in-law are Rebbe Menachem Nachum Margaliot of Shtefaneshty and R. Yisrael Rabinowitz of Sokolya-Chişinău..
