Rabbi Yaakov Moshe bar Yisrael Director (1819-1879) was Av Beit Din of Stolovitz and Mush. Known as the “Tzaddik of Mush.” Studied in Volozhin under Rabbi Yitzhak of Volozhin, and received kabbalah from Rabbi Yehonatan of Vohalin (Waliner). It is said that Rabbi Haim HaLevi Soloveitchik of Brisk said of him that he was the last person from whom one can learn the kabbalah of the Gra. In Lithuania, they compared his diligence to that of the Gra, since he would not go to bed on weekdays from age 30. Rabbi Yisrael Yehonatan Yerushalmsky (1860-1917) was the son of the Tzaddik of Mush. He changed his name to Yerushalmsky since his father sent him to visit Jerusalem when he was a child. He was the son-in-law of the Ridbaz, and he was the father-in-law of Rabbi Yehezkel Abramsky. He served as rabbi of Orla and Humen.
Rabbi Dov Sternbuch of Gateshead and Bnei Brak was the son of Rabbi Asher of London, a descendent of the Gra. He was a huge talmid chacham who knew the Shas by heart. He was close with many sages, and was a student of the Gra”a Dessler. He had a special relationship with Maran Rabbi Haim Kanievsky, who forbid him from asking those at his beit midrash not to stand in his honor. He was brother of the Ra’avad of Antwerp, Rabbi Eliyahu Sternbuch, and the Ra’avad of the Charedi community, Rabbi Moshe Sternbuch. Died in 1990 when he was on his way to Minchah, aged 96.
