    I’m shocked no one has any info on it
    He was one of the Biggest Gedolim of the USA, wrote over 6 Seforim, and all American Gedolim send him Shaalos

    His books were donated to the yeshiva in Skokie Il. As far as I know, the books are still there

    I am his grandson

    I am one of his great granddaughters. His books were donated to the Yeshiva on the west side of Chicago. I have visited his grave with two other of his great granddaughters. My sister may have a few of his books.

    In 1901, Rav Yehuda Yudel Rosenburg, the holy mekubal of Canada remarked that america was assured to become a source of holiness and torah becuase Rav Shaul dwelled there. When he passed away, Rabeinu Yudel was unconsolable with sadness.
    The satmar rav, Rav Yoel Teitlebaum, was given set of photographs of many gedolim, among them his anscestors, and this stack included Rav Shaul. Rav Yoel commanded the man to burn them because of a kabbalistic statement that any picture has an impure spirit. His discourses were sent to Rav Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson of Lubavitch who was impressed by their sincerity.
