The renowned Rabbi Chaim Zussman Sofer Av Beit Din of Mukacheve and Budapest (1822-1886, HaChatam Sofer V'Talmidav, pp. 138-142), author of the Machane Chaim responsa and leading Hungarian Torah scholar. Born in Pressburg and circumcised by the Chatam Sofer, he studied at his yeshiva during the last years of the Chatam Sofer's life. After his teacher's death, he traveled to the yeshiva of the Maharam Ash Av Beit Din of Ungvár. On his way, he spent a Shabbat in the city of Ohel (Ujhely) by the Rebbe, author of Yishmach Moshe who lovingly welcomed him and was overjoyed to learn of the greatness and holiness of his teacher, the Chatam Sofer, and what happened when he passed away. In 1851, he was appointed Rabbi of the city of Gyomro and in 1868 was appointed Av Beit Din of Mukacheve. In 1879, he relocated to Budapest to serve as Ra'avad of the Charedi community. His second son, Rabbi Ya'akov Shalom Sofer (1855-1921), a rabbi in Budapest, wrote the five parts of Torat Chaim.
