Rebbe Meir Shalom Rabinowitz of Kalushin (Kałuszyn; d. 1903), grandson of the Yehudi HaKadosh. He was the son of Rebbe Yehoshua Asher Rabinowitz of Porisov (Parysów), and son-in-law of his brother R. Yaakov Tzvi of Porisov. He was the disciple of R. Yitzchak of Neshchiz and R. Yechezkel Shraga of Shinova. He served as rabbi of Porisov, Garwolin and Kalushin. In 1889, he was appointed rebbe, and thousands of Chassidim frequented his court. He is particularly famous for the wonders he performed, and for hidden matters he perceived through Divine Inspiration (he himself would relate of the wondrous revelations he merited already in his youth). He authored Nahar Shalom on the Torah. His biography and practices are recorded in the book Derech Tzaddikim (Piotrkow, 1912).
