Grand Rabbi Shmuel Shlomo Leiner (1909–1942) was the Radziner Rebbe (the fifth Rebbe of the Izhbitza – Radzin Hasidic dynasty).
Rabbi Shmuel Shlomo Leiner was born in 1909.[1][2] He was the son of Rabbi Mordechai Yosef Elazar Leiner, who was the Radziner Rebbe and author of Tiferes Yosef.[1][2] In 1928 he married Shifra Mirel Kalish,[1] the daughter of Grand Rabbi Yosef Kalish of Amshinov[1] who was also the Rabbi of Ostrów Mazowiecka. After his marriage, he lived near his father-in-law.
Radziner Rebbe
In 1929, Rabbi Leiner's father died and he reluctantly agreed to succeed his father as Radziner Rebbe.[1] The Rebbe was greatly respected for his great knowledge of Torah, by many Litvishe Gedolim, even being at such a young age. Initially, he settled in Warsaw where his father had lived. In 1934 he moved to Radzyń Podlaski where he established the Radziner Yeshiva Sod Y'sharim and appointed his brother-in-law (and future successor) Rabbi Avrohom Yissochor Englard to oversee it. Prior to World War II, the Sod Y'sharim-Radzin yeshiva grew into a network consisting of 7 yeshivos which were located in various cities throughout Poland.
