R. Eliyahu Bezalel Teitelbaum (1850-1918), rabbi of Tiachiv (Tecso), was the son of R. Yekutiel Yehuda Teitelbaum, author of the "Yitav Lev" of Sighet (Maramarossziget), and the son-in-law of R. Pinchas Yosef Hager of Kossov (Kossiv, Kosow, Cosau). He was a great Torah genius who was known to serve G-d with great devotion and passion. In 1875 he was appointed by his father as rabbi of Havasmező (Poienile de sub Munte), and in 1883 he became rabbi in Tiachiv in place of his brother R. Chananya Yom Tov Lipa who became rabbi in Sighet.
His son R. Moshe Teitelbaum became rabbi in Tiachiv upon his father's death, but passed away himself in 1924.
