   Rav Huewitz was very close to Rebbe Yosef Yitzchok Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe.

   His son Reb Shlomo Hurwitz served as the president of the Lubavitch Yeshiva in Worcester MA, where his father was one of the founders.

   On today’s bulletin of the Jewish Gen. daily RAV-SIG newsletter the following message has been posted by a grandchild of Reb Zurach Hurwitz of Worcester:

   “I am searching for information re: Zerakh HOROWITZ (1785-1820)who married
   Peissa-Bassia Donchin’s daughter(b.1785..have no name available)in Disna
   Byeloussia. According to information I already have which may or may not be
   correct,Zerakh was the son of Elyakim Getzel Halevi Horowitz of
   Lychowitz,Byleorussia who was the son of RÝitzchak from
   Radvilishok,Lithuania.

   This search has been prompted by difficult research on my grandfather ..
   R’Zorach Halevi Horowitz (1860-1944)who lived in Smolyany,Bealrus after
   marraige to Chassia Rabinovitz until 1905and was later Rabbi of Sons of
   Jacob synogogue,Worcester,
   Mass.
   I am hopeful there is some link here.Thank you in advance for your help.
