The Admor Rabbi Shaya’le of Kerestir (1852-1925) A leader of his generation and an important Chassidic Admor of the 19th and 20th centuries, Rabbi Yeshaya Steiner was the disciple and successor of the Admor Rabbi Zvi Hirsch of Liska – a disciple of Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum (the Yismach Moshe). He was known for his merciful heart and his care for the Parnasa of the Jewish people, and he would say, “While other sages deal with ‘Razin DeRazin’ (Kabbalah and Chassidut), I am dealing with ‘sustenance and not emaciation (razon)’.” Rabbi Shaya’le is considered a wonder-worker. Thousands continue to visit his grave to pray to him for salvation, and many wonderful stories have spread about the power of such prayer.
