Editing Skverer Chassidus (section)

== Branches ==

==== Skvira Boro Park ====
After the passing of Rabbi Dovid Twersky in 1919, his son Rabbi Yaakov Yosef was appointed as Rebbe. In 1923, his nephew Rabbi Yitzchak Twersky, son of his older brother Rabbi Mordechai Twersky who passed away shortly after their father Rabbi Dovid, moved to the United States and established a Chassidic court in New York parallel to the veteran court in Europe. Rabbi Yitzchak passed away in New York in 1941, and his son Rabbi Dovid Twersky succeeded him until his passing in 2001. Today, his son Rabbi Yechiel Michl Twersky serves as the Skverer Rebbe in Boro Park. The Skverer Chassidus in Boro Park is smaller and less well-known than its senior sister court established after the Holocaust in New Square, New York.

==== Machnovka ====
After the passing of Rabbi Yitzchak Twersky in 1837, his son Rabbi Dovid was appointed as Rebbe, and together with him, his brother Rabbi Avraham Yehoshua Heschel Twersky served as a kind of Rebbe in Skvira. After his passing in 1886, his son Rabbi Yosef Meir Twersky opened his court in Machnovka. After his passing, his son Rabbi Avraham Yehoshua Heschel Twersky (the second) moved to Eretz Yisroel and opened the Machnovka court in Bnei Brak. After his passing, his adopted nephew Rabbi Yehoshua Rokeach (great-grandson of Rabbi Yissachar Dov Rokeach [the first] of Belz) was appointed as Rebbe.
