Rabbi Yitzchak Oish(1860-1944) was a disciple of the Hungarian Torah leaders, the Shevet Sofer, Rabbi Eliezer Zusman Sofer av”d Pacs and Rabbi Shmuel Ehrenfeld av”d Mattersdorf. He was an outstanding Torah scholar and respected person, a leader of the Bonyhad community. He was killed in Auschwitz on the 18th of Tammuz, 1944. [Refer to the list of the Shevet Sofer’s disciples in Chatam Sofer V’Talmidav, p. 584.]

The Be’er Yitzchak on Mikvaot was printed within the author’s Torat Yitzchak [Brooklyn, 1981], however it seems that not all of the novellae in this volume were printed.
