Brother of the Demetcher Ruv, the Gaon R. Asher Segal Lowy was the son of R. Elimelech Segal Lowy, Grand Rebbe of Tosh. In 1935 he was appointed Dayan in Kalov where he also headed the Yeshiva. One of his celebrated disciples was his nephew, R. Meshulem Feish Lowy (1921-2015), who, after the war, revived the Tosh dynasty in Quebec, Canada.
