The famous Holy Gaon Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Ullman (1792-1863) was one of the great Rabbanim and spiritual mentors in Hungary whose talmidim were great Rabbanim and morei hora’ah of the next generation i. Rabbi Shlomo Zalman was born in Ansbach to Rabbi Shalom Charif, author of Divrei Rash, and married the daughter of Rabbi Simcha Bunim Eiger, Av Beis Din of Mattersdorf and brother of Rabbi Akiva Eiger. In 1826, he was appointed Av Beis Din of Mako where he served as Rav for close to 40 years until his passing in 1863. He was a prolific author whose written legacy includes Sifrei Yerios Shlomo on Yoreh Deah, Shu”t, Sugyos and Drashos.
Contemporary Rabbanim, among them Mahari Assad and the Divrei Chaim, lauded his wisdom and writings, and described him with awe-inspiring accolades. Mahari Assad portrayed him as “the light and sanctity of Yisrael” and “Glory of the generation, wondrous among the Sanhedrin”; and the Divrei Chaim wrote that “since the day the Noda B’Yehuda appeared, there has not been a work like this”. It is said that the Divrei Chaim would frequently quote from the sefer Yerios Shlomo. He is also quoted as exclaiming ”Hungary doesn’t know what asset they have”.
The Gaon Rabbi Shlomo Zilberstein was born in Bonyhad in 1814 to his father, Rabbi Aharon, who was a disciple of Rabbi Mordechai Bennett. Rabbi Shlomo and his brother Rabbi David Leib, author of Shvilei David, studied under Rabbi Koppel Charif of Verbó. In 1843, Rabbi Shlomo was chosen as rabbi of the Sarkad community, but due to his opposition to "innovators, " he moved to Grosswardein, was an adjudicator in the city and preacher in the Ahavat Reim synagogue. He completed Shas five times, and the sixth time he reached tractate Sanhedrin. He passed away in 1909, on his 95th birthday. His Torah novellae were printed by his grandson in Ohel Moshe [Grosswardein, 1928].
