R. Avraham Yitzchak Weinberger Rabbi of Kleinwardein (1805-1885) was the son-in-law of R. Tzvi Hirsh Heller, Rabbi of Óbuda and author of Tiv Gittin, and step son-in-law of the Chatam Sofer. After his father-in-law R. Tzvi Hirsh Heller passed away in 1835, the latter's widow married the Chatam Sofer in his third marriage. Her daughter and son-in-law relocated with her to Pressburg, and lived for several years in the home of the Chatam Sofer, where R. Avraham Yitzchak received much guidance from the Chatam Sofer in Torah and fear of G-d. He went to serve as rabbi of Freishtadtl (Hlohovec), and after several years, of Kleinwardein. R. Avraham Yitzchak was a leading rabbi and yeshiva dean in those days in Hungary. His foremost disciples were R. Chaim Tzvi Mannheimer Rabbi of Ungvar (Uzhhorod) and Rebbe Meshulam Feish Lowy (the I) Rabbi of Tosh (1821-1873). He authored Pnei Yitzchak (Munkachevo 1892) and Milel L'Avraham (Munkachevo 1892). His son-in-law was R. Avraham Broda Rabbi of Berezne (1825-1882), author of Pri HeChag, disciple of the Chatam Sofer and the Ktav Sofer.
