Rav Wolf Torbowitz was my grandmother’s grandfather. I have other books of his in my possession including handwritten manuscripts. The Rav was a prodigious writer on halachah and kabbalah.
I might have a phot of him in a sefer that I have back in New York but I will not be back there until the spring. I also have a family tree with all the names of the rabbinim but this will have to wait until then as well.
