Rebbe Ya'akov David Kalisz (1906-perished in the Holocaust in 1942), son of Rebbe Yosef of Amshinov and son-in-law of the son-in-law of Rebbe Avraham Mordechai Alter of Ger. An illustrious Torah scholar, he was exceptionally proficient in all parts of the Shulchan Aruch. Appointed rabbi of the city of Żyrardów near Warsaw. After his father's death, he succeeded him as rebbe and the Chassidim willingly accepted his authority. The Amshinov community demanded that he relocate his residence to Amshinov, but the Żyrardów community refused to relinquish their beloved rabbi. After much discussion, Rabbi Ya'akov David served as rabbi of both communities.
