I especially like that you linked to your source. Harav Mayefsky was my great grandfather. His son Yehuda Tzvi had a son Eliyahu Shmuel Reuven, who is my father. There are a couple of typos above -- first son should be Mayefsky, not Kayefsky, and I believe the link to Hamoer says that he served 45 years, not 40, as a R"M in Tiferes Yerushalayim.

The Konwittz Yeshiva was a part of the East Side Torah Center that was founded in year after the passing of the Rydve"z and named after him, which started out as a Talmud Torah, and then after the passing of his Son-in-law Rabbi Yosef Konwitz a Yeshiva was added after him.
