Moshe Sofer (1851-1927), son of R. Avraham Shmuel Binyamin Sofer author of the Ktav Sofer. First grandson named after his grandfather R. Moshe Sofer, author of the Chatam Sofer. Outstanding Torah scholar and tsaddik, he lived in Berettyószéplak and afterward moved to Vámosudvarhely. Founder and president of the Machzikei Hadat society in Siebenbürgen (Transylvania). Known for his love of mitzvoth and was an expert mohel. In 1868, he converted and circumcised the converts from the village Bözödújfalu. In his ledger of circumcisions, more than 400 entries are listed, some performed with special self-sacrifice since he was compelled to travel long distances to remote places. A story is passed down in his family that Eliyahu Hanavi, Malach HaBrit, accompanied R. Moshe at the time he got lost and wandered in the forests near Hidalmás, on a journey in 1895 to circumcise his grandson, son of R. Shlomo (addressee of the dedication in this book).
