Biographical Notes:
Photo Caption: Rabbi Yechezkel Yehoshua Ovsovitz, Credit: Daniel Adler
Note: Apparently Rav Ovsovitz did not like his picture taken. The story is that the kids made noise to
draw him outside…you can see he is kind of smirking in the picture.
The Rav also served in Fall River, Massachusetts and Denver, Colorado and passed away en-rout to the land of Israel

I wanted to thank the person who took the pictures of my grandfather Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Ovsovitz and great Grandfather Rabbi Yechezkel Yehoshua Ovsovitz kevarim! I was actually on line trying to find the cemetery for a planned visit and instead found this wonderful website!
Rabbi Yechezkel Yehoshua Ovsovitz was married to my 2nd cousin 2x removed, Chana Dina Crystal. There are a couple of people who have made contributions to this page that are related to me and I would appreciate connecting to share ancestral information.
