Rabbi Abraham David ben Judah Leib Lawat was the Rebbe of Chabad’s great-grandfather. Born in 1815 to Rabbi Yehuda Leib, when he was around 35 years old he was appointed Motz in Nikolaiev, and around 10 years later he was appointed rabbi of the city and rabbi of around 40 villages in the area. He was Rosh of the Kollelim established by the Tzemach Tzedek and was close with the Tzemach Tzedek and Maharash, and at the end of his life he was in especially close correspondence with the latter regarding his works. The Maharash even wrote a glowing approbation on his work.
