Letter from the Holy Rabbi Menachem Nachum Twersky of Trisk, Warsaw, to His Sons in the USA.
A letter of blessing and guidance filled with longing and a father's love for his sons.
The holy rebbi wrote to his dear son, Reb Avraham, pleading with him to send letters and photographs of themselves for the sake of their sister and family members, which would bring them great joy. [It seems he also wanted them to remember their roots, even in the USA.] He concludes with abundant blessings.
The holy Rebbi Menachem Nachum of Trisk was the son of Rebbi Yaakov Aryeh of Trisk, who was the son of the Maggid of Trisk, author of the Magen Avraham. Rebbi Menachem Nachum was the son-in-law of the holy Rebbi Mordechai of Shpikov (of the Chernobyl dynasty), and in his second marriage, the son-in-law of the holy Rebbi Yissachar Dov Eichenstein of Chodorov (of the Zhidachov dynasty).
"VeHu Rachum Rebbe" (The Compassionate Rebbe).
Rebbi Menachem Nachum was renowned for his holiness and was affectionately called "VeHu Rachum Rebbe" because he would recite the VeHu Rachum prayer on Mondays and Thursdays with intense weeping. The Rebbe of Trisk and his family perished in the Holocaust.
He served as a Rebbe in Warsaw, and many were deeply attached to him, heart and soul. During the Holocaust, he fled to Trisk, the city of his father's residence, and labored to strengthen his Chassidim, who were encouraged by his presence. However, in the bitter days of early summer 1942, the Nazi murderers took him along with his close followers from his home, set it on fire, and they were martyred, may God avenge their blood.
His sons, Reb Avraham and Reb Yochanan [known as the author Yochanan Twersky, 1900–1968], were educated in their grandfather's home in Trisk. In 1926, they immigrated to the USA with their mother and lived in New York and Boston. In 1948, Yochanan made aliyah to Israel. He published many works on the lives of great Jewish leaders as well as the history of his family.
