   His name is recorded as Twerski in many seforim. Two of his famous grandchildren are the current Milwaukee-Hornesteipol Rebbe, Rabbi Michel Twerski, shlita, and his older brother, Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, MD.

   This Twersky is really Twerski. The descendants of R’ Motel the Hornisteiple Rebbe, spell it that way.

   R’ Motel was raised by his maternal grandfather R’ Yaacov Twersky M’Cherkaas.

    The Milwaukee Twerski family’s real name is Auerbach. His father was R’ Motele Hornesteipler who was an Auerbach. His parents died when he was very young. He was raised by his maternal grandfather, R’ Yakov Yisroel Twersky of Tsherkas and therefore changed his name to Twerski.

    the best way to get to the tzion is from Greenburg Road (a small road off Des Plaines Ave.) make a left on the first road going into the cemetery, then another left into the road crossing to Gate 37. the ohel will be on your left side. (you could also enter Gate 37 from Desplaines ave and go almost to the end and the ohel will be on you right side, but its not so ease to stop on Des Plaines and turn into the gate).

    if you enter the cemetery from the back (from Greenburg Road) then the ohel would be on your RIGHT side. if you enter the cemetery from the front (from Des Des Plaines Ave.) then the ohel would be on your LEFT side.

    Here is a little about Reb Leibele in English. Much of it has been printed in Hebrew elsewhere.
