His Rebbe the Holy Gaon Rabbi Shmuel Shmelka of Selish (1805-1875), one of the greatest Poskin and Tzaddikim of Hungary who was admired by all Gedolei Yisrael. He was known for his Torah greatness and knowledge alongside his holiness and being a miracle-worker. The Holy Rebbi Author of Divrai Chaim of Sanz sent his a patient to be saved by him. Rabbi Shmuel Shmelka was born in the district of Silady and already at a young age, observed the Ma’amar Chazal "Exile to a place of Torah" and moved to Pressburg to study at the yeshiva of Maran the Chasam Sofer (who called him "G-d-Fearing"). After a while there, he moved to study with Rabbi Sholom Ulman in Lakenbach. Served as Rav of several communities until settling in Selish, where he served until his passing.
He was renowned as a miracle worker and baal ruach hakodesh, having all his miracles linked to Torah learning. The holy Divrei chaim sent an ill person to be helped miraculously. The holy Yismach Moshe visited him for a Shabbos and put him on his Shtreimel and said that he learns Torah Lishma. The Yetav Lev sent his son the Kedushas Yom Tov to receive from him Heter Horoah and Semicha.
