About Dvinsk (Daugavpils)
Dvinsk (today Daugavpils, in southeastern Latvia) was a major center of Jewish scholarship in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, notable for having two of the era's greatest rabbinic minds serving its community simultaneously: Rabbi Meir Simcha of Dvinsk (author of the Meshech Chochmah and Or Sameach), rav of the misnagdic community, and Rabbi Yosef Rosen (the Rogatchover Gaon, author of Tzofnas Paneach), rav of the chasidic community.
