Rabbi Shmuel Rosenberg, author of Be'er Shmuel (1842-1919), a leading rabbi and head of yeshiva in Hungary was a prominent disciple of the Ktav Sofer. From 1873, he served as Av Beit Din of Hejocsaba and from 1873 served in the Unsdorf rabbinate (one of the renowned "seven communities") in which he established a yeshiva gedola which evolved into one of the most illustrious yeshivas in Hungary and its region. Famous for his great devotion to his disciples, under his guidance many developed into leading Torah scholars (Rabbi Shmuel David Ungar Av Beit Din of Nitra, etc.). He was also renowned for his excessive holiness and the Munkatch Rebbes often lauded him as a person who possessed Ru'ach HaKodesh. Many would apply for his blessing and request that he pray for various matters. He would lead "tisches" in his yeshiva like Chassidic rebbes and would distribute "sherayim". He stood at the helm of the Orthodox Jewish sector in its struggle against Reform leaders.
