R. Aharon Twersky of Chernobyl, was the eldest son of R. Mordechai Twersky, and maternal grandson of R. Aharon of Karlin. Upon his father's passing, R. Aharon inherited his place as the Admor and Maggid of Chernobyl. He was the firstborn of eight brothers, all of whom served as Admorim in different cities, and all looked up to him with honor and respect. He was among the leaders of Russian Jewry and served as president of Kollel Volhyn's Rabbi Meir Baal HaNess charity fund. His son-in-law, the first Admor of Czortkow, was a son of R. Yisroel of Ruzhin. R. Dovid Moshe, and his son R. Yisroel (noted in this letter) were of the greatest pre-war Chassidic Rebbes with tens of thousands of followers.
