Rabbi Sofer, known as the Shevet Sofer, was the son and successor of R. Avraham Shmuel Binyamin, (the Kesav Sofer) himself, the son and successor of the Chasam Sofer. Both were joint rabbi and rosh yeshiva of Pressburg. Most of the Orthodox rabbis of Hungary were students of the Shevet Sofer. R. Azriel Hildesheimer (1820-99) was rabbi of Eisenstadt, where he founded a Torah im Derech Eretz-style yeshiva. Although some Hungarian rabbinic luminaries, like Mahara’m Schick, sent their children there, the zealous atmosphere in Hungary drove R. Hildesheimer to leave the country in 1869 and re-establish himself in Germany.
