Rebbe Chanoch Heinich Dov Meir-Teitelbaum (1884-1942), rabbi of Sassov (Sasiv) and Keretsky, leading rebbe and Tzaddik of his generation. He was the son-in-law of the Kedushat Yom Tov of Sighet and the brother-in-law of Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaum of Satmar. He was the son of R. Yosef David of Sassov, descendant of Rebbe Chanoch of Alesk - the Lev Same'ach, and a descendant of R. Shalom of Belz. An exceptional, holy and pure Torah scholar, he was renowned for his fervent prayers and the wonders he performed for the Jewish people. In his will, he commanded that his epitaph should contain no other attributes apart from the inscription: "Who performed salvations for the Jewish people".
His son, Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaum of Királyháza (Korolevo) and the United States, published two volumes of his Torah novellae under the title Ir Chanoch (Jerusalem, 1978). Several years later, the books Responsa Yad Chanoch and Mefane'ach Ne'elamim (Brooklyn, 2000) were also published. In 1957, a Midrash Rabba with his notes entitled Ein Chanoch, was published in the US by his son Rebbe Yoel.
