Family tree of the glorious Rivlin family, printed as a large poster in Jerusalem in 1900 by Hillel ben Yosef Rivlin.
The tree records approximately 69 descendants of Rabbi Moshe Ravkash (1600-1684), author of Be’er HaGolah and av beit din of Vilna about 400 years ago, and ending with Rabbi Yosef Rivlin, Va’ad HaKlali scribe.
The family, under the leadership of Rabbi Hillel Rivlin, one of the Gr”a’s disciples, ascended to the Land of Israel in 1809 following the call of the Vilna gaon, with the intent to receive the mashiach upon his imminent arrival.
