The Holy Gaon Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Weiss was the Av Beis Din of Svaliava (Svaľava) and a leading rabbinical figure in Hungary. A tremendous Torah scholar, he was a devout Chassid of many Admorim and edited his Rabbi’s sefarim. Born in Munkatch, he dedicated himself to the service of G-d from his youth, serving Him in holiness and purity. He was a disciple of the Bnei Yisaschar and Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac of Zidichov. A great Kabbalist, he edited Rebbi Yehuda Tzvi of Rozdol’s sefer Amud HaTorah. His nephew and disciple, the Imrei Yosef of Spinka, writes in his introduction to Likutei Torah, that Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac edited and organized Rabbi Yitzchak of Zidichov’s sefarim and according to the will of Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac, received these manuscripts.
He was also a disciple of Maran the Shar Shalom of Belz, & traveled to the Holy Rebbe of Ruzhin, Rebbe Chaom of Kosov, Rebbe Meir of Premishlan, Rebbe Tzvi Hisrch of Rimanov & Rebbe Chaim of Sanz.
At the age of 15, he married the tzaddekes Rebbetzin Chaya, daughter of the chassid and philanthropist Rabbi Klonimus Kalman “Pasiker” of Pasika, a town situated between Munkacs and Svaliava. Rabbi Kalman wasn’t alive anymore when he married, but his Mother-in-law the tzaddekes Rachel Sima sustained them for 17 years so he could immerse himself fully in Torah & Avodah.
For twenty years, Harav Yitzchak Isaac Weiss led his flock faithfully as Av Beis Din of Svaliaya and subsequently for 15 years as Raavad in Munkacs until his passing on his seventieth birthday in 1893
He authored Beis Yitzchak on tractate megillah, Toldos Yitzchak and Divrei Yitzchak.
