The court grew considerably under his leadership, and hundreds of Chassidim accepted his authority. Just like his father, he was involved in charity and communal matters.
His son Rebbe Shimon Shalom Kalisch (1883-1954), author of Mashmia Shalom. Leading rebbe in his times. He escaped the Holocaust and eventually reached the United States, where many Chassidim were attracted by his great wisdom and exceptional love for his fellow Jew.
