המקום ינחם אתכם בתוך שאר אבלי ציון וירושלים
May the Omnipresent comfort you among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

השם ינקום דמם
May G-d avenge their blood.

[Yochanan Lavie]

Amen.

Rabbi Twesrky is not the head of Toras Moshe. He is one of the Rebbeim, a Senior Rabbi. The head is Moshe Meiselman.

Wishing some measure of comfort to the families and loved ones during this time of horrific trauma in their lives. Our thoughts are with you.

"Twersky was the son-in-law of the yeshiva’s founder"

Incorrect. Rav Twersky was the son in law of Rav Abba Berman, who founded a different yeshiva, totally unrelated to Toras Moshe.
