R. Jacob, one of the three sons of R. Abraham Joshua Heschel Skverer, was the son-in-law of R. Motel Karshover and he lived in Karshov.
His wife was a shrew and made his life miserable.
This was one of the reasons he constantly traveled – alas, a great wanderer.
In Vasylivka they called him the Purim Rebbe because he was always there for Purim. His humility and piety were renowned.
It was said that even when he went to the Mikvah, before immersing he would still wear his yarmulke and only took it off when he immersed.
