Rebbe Simcha Bunim Kalisch of Warka-Otwock (1851-1907), was the son of Rebbe Mordechai Menachem Mendel Kalisch of Warka. He was appointed rebbe (in 1868) at the age of 17 and led Chassidim in the city of Warka. He had a great love of Eretz Israel and twice tried to immigrate there. His first attempt, with his family and disciples, led to banishment by the Turkish government, and his subsequent move to Otwock. Years later, he immigrated by himself and settled in Tiberias, where he died a month and a half later. He was well-known for his love of mitzvoth and for the halachic stringencies he adopted alongside his conservative approach and extreme opposition to the Enlightenment Movement. Three of his sons succeeded him as rebbe. The story is told of his daughter Tzviah, wife of Yeshaya Elimelech Rievsky, Av Beit Din of Białobrzegi, who did not have children until she promised her father that she would not approach doctors for help. Consequently, she gave birth to a boy, Rabbi Simcha Bunem Rievsky who was born after the death of his grandfather the rebbe. Three books in two volumes. Size and condition vary.
