One of the great righteous men of his generation, lived a life of purity and sanctity and often fasted and afflicted himself.

Born in 1853, from 1875 he succeeded his father-in-law the Rebbe Rabbi Meshulam Feish HaLevi of Tahash, from where he moved to Nyírmada, Debrecin, and in 1897 to Kosson, by which name he is known.
