Chassidut Toltchav ?

B"H

Does anyone have any details about Chassidut Toltchav in Jerusalem ?


I found the following in an encyclopedia by Yitzchak Alfassi:

Rabbi Moshe David Ashkenazi of Toltchva (maybe Toltchav in Yiddish ?). He lived from 1774 - 1856.
First he was the Rabbi of Toltchva and later, he moved to Israel and got close to the community in Safed.

The book "Shemen HaRosh" was written by his grandson.
Rabbi Yekutiel Yehudah Teitelbaum was his son - in - law.
Rabbi Moshe David's sons were: Rabbi Shlomo of Bashvitz, Rabbi Mordechai of Fistein, Rabbi Yoel of Zultchov and Rabbi Rabbi Avraham.
