The Holy Rebbi Yochanan Twersky [1900-1982] was the Admor of Rachmastrivka (a scion of Rabbi Nachum of Chernobyl) in Jerusalem and reestablished the chassidut after the Holocaust. He studied by his father, Rebbi Dovid, and immigrated with his family to Eretz Yisrael in 1926. After his father’s death in 1950, he took over his position as rebbe. His son and successor, the Admor of Rachmastrivka Rebbi Yisrael Mordechai Twersky (1929-2004) the son-in-law of the Rabbi Sender Uri. He stood at his father’s side and helped found the yeshiva “Meor Einayim” in Jerusalem. After his father’s passing, he refused to take the crown of the Admorut upon himself, but after demonstrations by his Chassidim, the Admor of Machnovka (the eldest of the Admorim of Chernobyl) forced him to take it upon himself “whether he wants to or not, he is appointed.” He also said: “Even if he was one of the eight sons of the Chernobyler Maggid, he wouldn’t be embarrassed among them.” But he would only agree, due to his modesty, to be appointed with the approval of his brother, Rebbi Chai Yitzchak Twersky, the Admor of Rachmastrivka-USA, and they would lead their chassidim together with joint tables. Also at the yeshiva, he appointed his brother as president alongside him.
