Who says that he was the Chief Rabbi of Odessa?
He was one out of several rabbunim there.
I think the Chief Rabbi was Rav Halperin.
Orit, how do you know he had a brother named Avraham?
He is my Shvers Father. First of all, his name was not Asher Zelig it was Asher Tzvi. His second wife’s Yahrtzeit was this week. Her name was Esther Talansky and her first husband was a man named Berdichevsky. He was known as the Odessa Rav. He had children with both and so did she. My Shver was the only one from Reb Asher Tzvi and Esther. Two of the half siblings married each other and have children and grandchildren in Flatbush.
Disagreement whether the middle name was zvi or zelig . It’s possible both were used. My grandfather was Menachem Mendel. He used both names. Maybe Harav asher Finkel also used them interchangeably. Except for your sheer no one is really around anymore.
Baruch Dayan Haemes. Reb Yankel son of Reb Asher Tzvi passed away today the 25th of Iyar.
