Rabbi Dr. Abraham J. Twersky - יט שבט

Yahrtzeit Yomi #933!! יט שבט Rabbi Dr. Abraham J. Twersky רב אברהם יהושע העשיל ב״ר יעקב ישראל (1931 - 2021) ------------------------------------------------------ Rav Avraham Yehoshua Heshel ben R' Yaakov Yisroel Twerski ZT”L In his tzavaah, Rabbi Twerski wrote that there should be no hespedim – an item he emphasized by circling five times – but, per another request in his tzavaah, as mourners carried the mittah to kevurah, they sang his famous song, “Hoshia Es Amecha,” which Rabbi Twerski had composed in honor of the weddings of his twin brothers, Rabbis Michel and Aaron, who got married several weeks apart in 1960. Rabbi Twerski once told his nephew Labe the reasoning behind this seemingly strange request to have the song sung at his levayah: “I know that this song brought simcha to many Yidden, and I hope that it will be a zechus for me in Shamayim.” יהי זכרו ברוך!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To dedicate or sponsor, please contact 917-841-5059.
