The Mahara’m Schick was one of the most prominent Hungarian Rabbis of his time, the foremost disciple of the Chasam Sofer and his principal successor. He was famed for his intellectual alacrity, quickly responding to even the most complicated questions of halachic law. R. Chaim Sofer (1821-86) known as the Machaneh Chaim, was the rabbi of Munkacz and Pest. In addition to being a highly regarded Posek, he was an expert Sofer, whose Tefillin were highly prized.
