The Gaon Rabbi Mordechai Brisk – Maharam Brisk (1886-1944; perished in the Holocaust Hy”d), leading Hungarian Torah scholar and prominent Torah disseminator. Posek in Margareten and later rabbi of Tasnad, where he established his famous yeshiva and taught his thousands of disciples.
The famous Holy Rebbi Yisrael Hager of Vizhnitz (1860-1936) was the 3rd Admor of Vizhnitz, son of the Admor Rebbi Baruch Hager the Imrei Baruch & Son-in- law of Rabbi Meir of Dzikov.
He was known for his great love of Jews which, like the name of his sefer, is called (Love of Jews), and he gave his all to pass that characteristic to his flock. There are a number of amazing stories passed down demonstrating this. He served first in the rabbinate of the city of Bedeval (Bedahaza), and he worked hard to hide his gadlus. Upon his father’s death in 1893 he rose to serve as leader of the Vizhnitz community. Under his leadership it grew and became the largest in Hungary/Romania. Many came from across the region to him.
He died in 1936 and after the Shoah (in 1950) his body was moved to Israel, where he was reburied in the Vizhnitz cemetery in Bnei Brak accompanied by thousands including his sons the Imrei Chaim and the Mekor Baruch.
