A disciple of the Divrei Chaim of Sanz, R. Hershele Lisker and R. Mordechai Leifer of Nadvorna, Reb Shayele (1851-1925) - as he is affectionately known - was the founder of the Kerestirer Chassidic dynasty. This is Reb Shayele’s personal Tehillim in which he entitles himself on his ownership stamp as “Meshamesh BaKodesh” of the Rebbe of Liska. R. Tzvi Hirsch of Liska raised Reb Shayele when aged 12 he was orphaned. Reb Shayele’s teachings and biography are recounted in Y. M. Gintzler, Mei Be’er Yeshayahu (Tarnow, 1928) in which his disciple R. Shlomo Engel of Tokay is often quoted. See also Y. Alfasi, Traklinei Chassiduth, p. 899.
