.
R. Mordechai Leib Winkler, rabbi of Mád, author of "Levushei Mordechai" (1845-1932) was the preeminent disciple of R. Yitzchak Aharon Landsberg, rabbi of Grosswardein (Oradea). From 1874, he taught Torah and served in the rabbinate of the eminent Hungarian communities of Mezotelegd, of Brezova (in the Nitra, Slovakia region) and others. In 1902, he was appointed Rabbi of Mád (Hegyalja-Mád) for a thirty-year tenure until his death in 1932. He headed a large yeshiva in Mád and was known as one of the three rabbinical authorities in Hungary (together with R. Yeshaya Zilberstein, Rabbi of Waitzen [Vac] and R. Shimon Greenfeld, the Maharshag). The printing of his responsa earned him worldwide fame as a halachic posek. His halachic responsa were unanimously accepted and became basic teachings in halachic literature (see Cohen, Chachmei Transylvania, pp. 98-99).
