[2] According to The Jewish Daily Forward, most New Square residents "revere their rebbe as a Saint, and look to him for guidance on all issues", showing their devotion, singing and praying at his weekly "tish".

[3] The Forward also reports that Twersky lights his Hanukkah candles on a large sterling silver menorah that a wealthy follower bought him.

[5][6] In January 2024, Twersky organized a trip to Krakow in order to raise money towards the building of a new grand synagogue in New Square.

Twersky was invited to the White House in December 2000 (Hanukkah 5761),[10] and secured commutations for the criminal sentences of four Skver Hasidim, who had been convicted of defrauding the government of more than 30 million dollars to benefit the educational institutions of New Square.

In one instance of this, upon being informed of a case of ongoing sexual abuse having been perpetrated on a victim by his teacher for five years, Twersky replied in Yiddish: איך וויס נישט, און איך גלייב נישט!, romanized: Ich veis nisht, in ich gleib nisht!
