Rabbi Mosheh Twersky, one of the victims killed in the Jerusalem synagogue terror attack on Tuesday morning, was escorted to his final resting place by 3,500 mourners hours later.
“G-d gave us a special soul… if there are 36 hidden righteous people in a generation, we merited to have one right here,” said one of his students.
Twersky was 59 years old and the head of a Kollel (rabbinical study program) in Yeshiva Toras Moshe in Jerusalem. The Yeshiva is primarily for American students who come to study in Israel for a year after high school, though Twersky taught older and advanced students.
Twersky was the grandson of Rabbi Joseph Soleveitchik. His father, Rabbi Yitzchak (Isadore) Twersky, was both a rabbi and a professor in Harvard.
He leaves behind a wife, Miriam, and five children.
