Rabbi David HaLevi Jungreiss (1898-1971), son of Rabbi Baruch Reuven Shlomo Jungreiss, founder of the Eda HaCharedit and grandson of Rabbi Moshe HaLevi Jungreiss Av Beit Din of Košice, distinguished for his brilliance and his diligence from an early age. He was privileged to study Torah from Rabbi Yitzchak Yerucham Diskin and from Rabbi Yerucham Fishel Perla. He taught in the Porat Yosef Yeshiva [Rabbi Ovadia Yosef was his close disciple] and in the Anshei Ma'amad Yeshiva. He had already become a member of the Badatz of the Eda HaCharedit in the days of his teacher Rabbi Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld, and for over 40 years retained that position. An outstanding Torah genius and holy person, erudite in the revealed and hidden parts of Torah, he was G-d fearing and punctiliously fulfilled all the mitzvoth. He fiercely struggled to protect religious adherence and strongly opposed cooperation with the State of Israel. He lived in simplicity and unpretentiousness, however his name was celebrated and many came to him for blessings.
