The Daas Sofer began relaying lectures in his father’s Yeshivah at a remarkably young age, and succeeded him as Rosh Yeshivah following the Shevet Sofer’s passing in 1907. In 1940, he settled in Eretz Yisrael where he reestablished his Yeshivah. Among his noted works are Responsa Daas Sofer on Shulchan Aruch and Daas Sofer on Torah and Festivals.
