Rabbi David Deutch [1757-1831] was one of the leading Geonim of Hungary and the author of Ohel David. He was the primary disciple of Rabbi Yechezkel Landau Segal, author of Noda BiYehudah, and this book contains dozens of responsa addressed to him. Rabbi David Deutch was a close friend of Rabbi Moshe Sofer, author of Chata"m Sofer.
The Chata"m Sofer’s great admiration of him is evident from one of the letters he wrote to Rabbi Deutch: "I am sure that with [your] strong love, you will keep me in mind and mention me in [your] prayers." In his book Ohel David, which was printed posthumously, the Chata"m Sofer wrote in the foreword, "This sacred tzaddik was a true genius … It was a joy for those who had the merit to speak with him and bask in his light. His merit stands for us to protect us from all evil, and to bring blessing from Hashem to the Jewish people. Rabbi David served as a rabbi in Yamnitz, Frauenkirchen, Szerdehely and finally in Nowe Miasto – known as Ir Chadash, by which he is known.
