Rebbe Mordechai Dov Twersky [Chanuka, 1839 – Elul, 1903], son of Rabbi Meshulam Zusha of Tlumacz and illustrious son-in-law of the author of Divrei Chaim of Sanz, was orphaned from his mother in his childhood and raised in the home of his maternal grandfather Rebbe Ya'akov Israel Twersky of Cherkasy. From childhood, his knowledge and fear of G-d were outstanding. An exceptional Torah scholar with tremendous knowledge of Halacha and Kabbalah, he was also known to be a holy man. His father-in-law, the Divrei Chaim, attested that he studied Torah for the sake of Heaven. In 1863, his grandfather who had moved to Cherkasy, appointed him Rebbe and Rabbi in the city of Hornistopol which began to draw many Chassidim. In 1876, the death of his grandfather ensued in increasing the masses of Chassidim streaming to his Beit Midrash and he became one of the most prominent rebbes in Russia.
He was also well-known as a great Torah authority and exchanged halachic correspondence with the leading rabbis in Russia and elsewhere [the Sho’el U’Meshiv, Maharil Diskin, Rabbi Chaim Berlin, etc.]. He wrote the Emek She’ela responsa, Torei Zahav on the laws of interest, Emek HaChochma which is a Chassidic and halachic work of homiletics and pilpul. Kad HaZahav on Kabbalistic topics [remained as a handwritten manuscript and was torn by plunderers in a pogrom in Ukraine].
[Rabbi Ya’akov Israel Kanievsky was a native of the same city. He was born in 1889 after his parents wed following the counsel and with the blessings of the Rebbe. He was raised in Hornistopol (Steiple) after which he was known as “the Steipler”].
