    He was very close with Rabbi Moshe Feinstein.

    He was my great-grandfather. Although I never met him, and nor did my father (amush), his great legacy burns through my heart. Yehi Zichro Boruch.

    Eliezer,
    can you at least share with us a short biography of your GG-Father.

    Reb Baruch:
    I once met a grandson of the Rav at the kever, Bentzion Pitem was his name if I remember correctly. Unfortunately I did not get his contact info. He lives in
    Brooklyn if its any help.

    This comment is for Eliezer Dusowitz, it mightbe timed out, but me and my brothers are trying to trace family roots. My grandmother’s maiden name was Dusowitz, her first name Esther, and we knew that he was a rav, but not much else. Also my brother is named Yisroel as is my cousin and wondering if this was our great grandfather, thank you.

    Basya, Yes, rav yisrael is your great grand father. I believe your cousins are the Simons from Brooklyn. My mother said she met you years ago. So we’re second cousins.

    Baruch,
    Now after researching Rabbi Levitt, I found out that thie Tiferes Yiroel Cong. where Rabbi Dusowitz was Moreh D’Asra (Rabbi) was not in Brownsville, it was on Willoghby Ave. at the corner of Williamsburg and Bedford-Styvesant.

    I am the daughter of Carl Dusowitz, Rabbi Dusowitz’s son. Therefore Rabbi Dusowitz was my grandfather. We lived at 709 Willoghby Ave, one block from the temple and two blocks from Zaddi (excuse my spelling). My office phone number is 516-377-9800.

    Rav Dusowitz was my grandfather. Who is this person that sent this picture? Does he have any other pictures of my Zaidy?
