Rabbi Yeshaya Steiner (1852 – 1925) of Kerestir was one of the foremost and most renowned rebbes in Hungary. The rebbe, who was orphaned from his father at the age of 3, was sent at the age of 12 by his widowed mother to study from Rabbi Zvi Hirsch of Liska, where he remained until his teacher died, and then succeeded him, but he remained humble and not haughty. Rabbi Yeshayale was considered to be a miracle worker and there are many miraculous stories told about him. To this day many thousands of people go to pray at his grave, and there are many stories of miracles about prayer at his grave. He was known for his merciful heart and his famous concern for the livelihood of other Jews.
