the rebbe on 49 street was the skvere rebbe of boro parl who was niftar around five ten years

The Skver Rebbe of BP had his Shul on 47th street (not 49 or 50) & didn’t have sister by the name tsuraleh (Surah). There was another Rabbi Twersky, from the Trisk family (son of R’ Mordche Zisye, Trisk Rebbe of Yasi), who lived in that area. He had a sister by the name Surah, she was married to a brother of the old Skolye Rebbe.

thant means he was a brother of the trisker rebbe of london (the father of the holy trisker brothers Reb chaim munia and reb pinia)i think his brother in law was a brother of the skoliyer rebbe called himself Kishnever Rebbe and lived in florida. for a time he lived in london and opened a shul called Skoly which is still open
Reb Shulem Yosef the Trisker Rebbe of Boro Park had a son Chaim Dovid who is buried right next to him, he has a few sons, Mordcha Zusha lives in Philli, Yitzchok Nuchem who lives in Yerushalayim his son is Reb Srayahu Yona of Montreal who will be the future of Trisk (he’s the sil of R’ Yochanan Wosner Ravad Skver)

Anyone out there related to Joseph and Dora (Yosef and Dvorah) Shukovsky. Dvorah’s Yahrzeit is this Wed. nite to Thursday. They had 8 children and many grandchildren, B”H, and it seems we are all scattered with no one knowing how great their lineage.
If you’re out there, light a candle and e-mail me.

He is actually buried on Ave C near 2nd Ave. His rebetzin is buried right next to her brother Rav Sholom Zuckerman.
He was probably nifter on Oct 22, not Dec 22. Also, this cemetery is a mere half hour drive from BP/Flatbush, yet very few people visit the kevorim of the tzadikim that are buried here.
My bubby’s uncle and grandfather were gabboim to this Rebbe. R’ Avraham Sirkus and Rav Tzvi Hirsh Sirkus z”l. My family had shaychcus to the shul on Attorney St.
