The Wonderous Drawer: In the Tzaddik’s residence was the famous "Drawer" from which Rabbeinu would take out handfuls of coins for needy people; hundreds of widows and orphans got married from the money of this drawer. In his house, food was cooked for two Cheiders in Jerusalem and for many needy people. His National Center for Taharat HaMishpacha, which built Mikvehs in Israel, also relied on money from this drawer.
The great wonder was that no one ever saw Rabbeinu put money into the drawer!
The Admor Rabbi Shlomo Goldman of Zvhil known as Rabbi Shlomke Zvhiller (1869-1945), the son of the Admor Rabbi Mordechai of Zvhil. He was the fourth Admor of Zvhil, who established it in Eretz Yisrael. He was the great-grandson of the Maggid Rabbi Yechiel Michl of Zlotchov, the disciple of the Baal Shem Tov.
Rabbeinu, one of the great figures of Jerusalem, was famed for his sublime Kedusha and was accepted by all circles. He was known for his love of the entire Jewish people, to the point that he even gave help to those who attacked and blasphemed him, about which there are many stories. He would customarily answer people’s questions about Tevilah – "Yishuv" as he put it, in the mikveh. He behaved simply and rode the bus as a common person, and his custom was to visit the Western Wall frequently.
