רבי יחיאל מאיר ליפשיץ מגאסטינין
Rabbi Yechiel Meir Lipschitz of Gostynin
The Tehillim Yid
Who he was
Born in Opoczno to Reb Yaakov Tzvi, he was a leading talmid of the Kotzker Rebbe — who counted him among the lamed-vav tzaddikim — and also of the Chiddushei HaRim of Ger and Reb Avraham Landau of Ciechanów; he led in Gostynin until his petirah in 1888 and told everyone who came to him to say Tehillim, which is how he got his name. A Find a Grave memorial (#120339501) placing him in the old cemetery in Tzfas is an error — he died and was buried in Gostynin.
