Chaya Chana Twersky, who helped her husband build a suburban haven for Skverer Hasidim, dies at 81

JL;DR SUMMARY Chaya Chana Twersky, the wife of Rabbi David Twersky, Grand Rabbi of the Skverer Hasidic movement, passed away at 81. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
