history - Did Rabbi Dovid Feinstein of Uzda wear tefilin that were Ktav Ari or Ktav Beit Yosef? What about his son?


The biographical sketch of Rabbi Moshe Feinstein that appears in the beginning of Igrot Moshe volume 8 states that his father, Rabbi Dovid Feinstein of Uzda, was born and raised Hassidic, but took on his in-law's very non-Hassidic customs when he married.


So I'll ask: I assume that he started off with Tefilin that use the Hassidically-favored Ktav Ari script. Upon marrying, did he switch to the standard-Ashkenazic Ktav Beit Yosef script? And what about his sons/grandsons? Were they given Ktav Ari tefilin?
