The Adereth had a well-known twin brother R. Tzvi Yehudah, but little is known of this second brother, Moshe Rabinowitz, who apparently emigrated to America. Among other matters, the letter comments on the death of “the accursed Leah who will surely be brought before the Heavenly Court and confront our parents for falsely accusing our mother of poisoning her.”
