Rabbi Pinchas Epstein (died 1970) served as a dayan in the Beit Din of the Charedi Eda under Rabbi Yosef Haim Zonenfeld and Rabbi Yitzhak Yerucham Diskin. He studed in the Torat Haim yeshiva. In 1948 he was chosen as Ra’avad of the Eda after Rabbi Zelig Reuven Bengis transferred to serve as Ga’avad. He wrote Oriyan Tlitai.

Rabbi Yisrael Yitzhak HaLevi Reisman (1889-1969) was a dayan and teacher, Ra’avad of the Chassidic communities in Jerusalem. He was a member of the second and more dominant beit din of the Eda Charedit, from 1948-1969. He was a student of the Torat Chesed of Lublin and others, he studied kabbalah from Rabbi Haim Shaul Davik HaKohen.

Rabbi David HaLevi Jungreiz (1898-1972) was the Ra’avad of the Charedi Eda between 1968-1972. In 1931 he was appointed by Rabbi Yosef Haim Zonenfeld as a dayan of the Badatz. After the death of Rabbi Pinchas Epstein he succeeded him as Ra’avad and was famous for his very stringent attempts to avoid all pretenses of corruption—he refused to sit in court for anyone who had done anything for him in the past.
