Amram Grünwald (1853-1910, HaChatam Sofer VeTalmidav p. 521), leading rabbi and yeshiva dean in Hungary. A disciple of R. Menachem Katz Prostitz of Tzeilem and of the Ketav Sofer in Pressburg. Already in his youth, he directed a yeshiva in his birthplace Charna (Csorna), later serving as rabbi of several Hungarian communities and from 1893, of Khust. Though he was a product of the Chatam Sofer's yeshiva, he cleaved to Chassidism and would frequent the courts of the rebbes of Belz and Sighet. In Khust, he set up his glorious court and expanded his yeshiva, which became one of the largest yeshivot in Hungary. Students from throughout the country and beyond flocked to his yeshiva, and many Hungarian rabbis were his disciples. He was renowned for his compositions on Halacha and Aggadah named Arugat HaBosem. His son was R. Yaakov Yechizkiya Grünwald Rabbi and Rebbe of Pupa (Pápa), and his grandson was Rebbe Yosef Grünwald of Pupa, who established the Pupa Chassidic dynasty in the United States after the Holocaust. His son R. Avraham Yosef Grünwald (d. 1928) served as rabbi of Makava (Makó), Khust and Ungvar. [3], 6-148 leaves. 31 cm. Good condition. Stains. Wear. New leather binding.
