רבי אברהם יהושע העשיל טווערסקי
Rabbi Avraham Yehoshua Heshel Twersky
Rebbe of Loyev and Chudnov
Who he was
Born 10 Teves 5620 (1860), son of Reb Mordechai of Loyev in the Chernobyl-Twersky line, he led as Rebbe in Loyev and in Chudnov (Chudniv, Ukraine); in 1914 he fell ill, travelled to the health resort of Otwock, died there on 18 Tammuz and was buried in nearby Karczew, where an ohel was raised over him. He was never the 'Otwocker Rebbe' — Otwock is only where he died — and he is not Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski (1930-2021), the American author, who is buried in Eretz Yisroel.
