Long Response regarding an Aguna by Admor Rabbi Chaim Hager of Ottynia to Rabbi Moshe Dovid Ostreicher Ab"d Chimpa.

Admor Rabbi Chaim Hager of Ottynia [1862-1931] in Eastern Galicia was the son of Rabbi Baruch Hager - the second Admor of Vizhnitz, grandson of Rabbi Pinchas of Koritz. After his father's passing in 1893, he established his court in the small town of Ottynia, and the number of his followers quickly grew to be in the thousands.

Besided his Torah, he was also a master of prayer and a musician. He added melodies and emphases to the prayer style of Vizhnitz chassidus. He also composed tunes, such as the second part of Vizhnitz chassidus's Odeh LaKel.

Rabbi Moshe Dovid Ostreicher (1883-1954), was a talmid of R. Tzvi Hirsch of Munkacs (Darkei Teshuva), R. Yehuda Greenfeld and R. Yehuda Grunewald. Known as a tremendous Talmid Chochom and great Posek, he served as Rov in Tchimpa and later Arad. Miraculously surviving the Holocaust, after the war he was greatly involved in helping Agunos after the war. He later immigrated to New York, settling in Williamsburg where he was held in great esteem.
