Rare Lithograph of the Chasam Sofer. Breslau.
Beautiful lithograph of the Chasam Sofer, printed in Breslau by S. Schottlaender.
R. Moshe Sofer (1762–1839), was the pre-eminent rabbinical leader of his time. He was a talmid of R. Nosson Adler and R. Pinchos Horowitz (Haflo’ah). From his youth, his was renowned as an outstanding Talmid Chochom. He served as Rav in various Kehillos, most notably Mattesdorf and Pressburg and had an enormous influence on his generation and remains revered until the present day. In addition to his rabbinical duties, he also led a great Yeshiva and most of the Rabbonim of the next generation in Austria-Hungary were his talmidim. The Chasam Sofer had particularly distinguished children, including the K’sav Sofer and R. Shimon Sofer (Michtav Sofer) and hundreds of distinguished descendants, many of whom were great Rabbonim.
