    The Rebbe was good friend with President John F. Kennedy.

    Did the Rebbe leave any children?

  • 3 Moshe Herskovitz // Jun 1, 2009 at 4:04 pm

    Yes David Twersky of Brighton, MA and Rabbi Mordichai Twersky of Lynn, MA.

    Was the Rebbes wife a kaufman from the Kaminke family? there was a Kaufman who immigrated in 1921 (about the same time as the Rebbe) and brought along a Sefer Torah from the Baal Shem Tov. I also found archived reports of someone David Twersky (the Rebbe had a son by the name), who inherited a Sefer Torah of the Baal Shem Tov from his grand father Kaufman who immigrated in 1921, donating it to a Shul in Israel.
    Can anyone put the pieces together here?

    The Machnovka Rebbe Shlita might be the one to be known to have the Sefer Torah of the Baal Shem Tov.

    The Machnovker Sefer Torah is something else, and this information aaw5952 is very interesting, I would want to hear more on that. benbeezee@gmail.com

    His Rebetzin was a Kaufman of Kaminka-Miropil.

    does anybody if his father came to the usa from comunist russia and did not like the ruchnius in the USA and went back to russia

  • 8 aaw5952 // Aug 2, 2011 at 8:33 pm

    I don’t think his father went back to the USSR. His father did move from Philly to NYC because he didn’t like the Rochnius there.

  • 9 Ben Bee Zee // Aug 3, 2011 at 10:40 am

    From Pittsburgh to Brownsville. The one who returned to Communist USSR was Reb Shlomo Benzion of Chernobyl.

    Thanks

    What made him (R’ Shlomo Bentzion) go back were his Chasidim he had left behind. He past away during WW2. There are still people in Kiev thet remember his Hakofos on Simchas Torah.
    He was also the one in charge of the Chernoble Kloiz in Tzfas, from letters preserved between him & his and Chasidim in EY, it is presumable that at one point he did want to leave for Eretz Yisroel.

    AAW5952

    Thanks do you have any dates that he left is there anything writen about him anything about his children

  • 13 aaw5952 // Aug 5, 2011 at 1:56 pm

    He had a few children. R’ Avrohom Dov of Rachmistrivka (son of R’ Nuchemche, immigrated to EY in 1926, past away approx 1950) actually had a son Yochanan who was married to his daughter. Have no idea what ever happened to him. would be happy to hear if anyone here knows.
