אפטא–זינקוב–מז'יבוז' וקופיטשניץ
The Apter Rov, Rebbe Avrohom Yehoshua Heshel, the Ohev Yisroel, settled in Mezhbizh in his last years, and his descendants took the family name Heschel in his honour. His son and grandson led the court from Zinkov, after which the main line returned to Mezhbizh and Tarnopol. A great-grandson, Rebbe Yitzchok Meir, founded the Kopyczynitz court, which moved to Vienna and then New York and continues today in Boro Park and Jerusalem.
