Authored the ‘Kol Mevaser’ Shut and was considered a great religious authority, this despite his modesty and simplicity. A Chassid of the Holy Rav of Chortkov and a disciple of the Geonim of Galicia. Was Rav of several towns including Schotz and Chernowitz. After surviving the Holocaust, he immigrated in 1944 to Eretz Yisroel and settled in Jerusalem. Despite his age, he was asked to serve as a member of the Chief Rabbinate and the Chief Rabbi the Gaon Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Herzog asked him to be his personal advisor.
