The Rebbe Rabbi Yehosef HaLevi Rothenberg, the head of the Kossoni dynasty, son of Rabbi Zvi Hirsch of Tłuste, son of Rabbi Yehosef of Kossova - son-in-law of the Rebbe Rabbi Zvi Hirsch of Zidichov. One of the great righteous men of his generation, lived a life of purity and sanctity and often fasted and afflicted himself. He traveled to many of the great Chassidic leaders of his generation, and his teacher, Rabbi Chaim of Sanz said about him that he has the brain of his grandfather the Ateret Zvi of Zidichov. Born in 1853, from 1875 he succeeded his father-in-law the Rebbe Rabbi Meshulam Feish HaLevi of Tahash, from where he moved to Nyírmada, Debrecin, and in 1897 to Kosson, by which name he is known. He died in 1912. Author of the books Bnei Shlishim on the Torah and the festivals, Bnei Shlishim Drashot, VaYitzhar Yosef, Vayelaket Yosef, VaYadaber Yosef and more.

And the signature of the grandson of the Rebbe Rabbi Yehosef, Rabbi Efraim Asher HaLevi Rothenberg of Kosson who moved to Los Angeles.
