The Celebrated Neshchizer Tehillim An edition of the Psalms sponsored by the venerable Chassidic leader, Isaac of Neshchiz (1788-1868), who subsidized the costs of publication in order to allow those least able, to acquire their own copy of the Psalms. The Rebbe is said to have kissed each volume before blessing each recipient of the Tehillim. See E.I. Horowitz, Zichron Tov (1997) pp.84-5
