Avigdor Dwilanski (center) with his two brothers Rabbi Moshe-Leib Krisilov (left) and Rabbi Kosolewicz (first name unknown). Each brother had taken a different name in order to avoid service in the tzarist army. Reb Avigdor studied at the Volozhin yeshivah and was an accomplished scholar, but supported himself as a baker.
