Background: Second edition of this work, and the first edition printed without the text of the chumash. Prominent approbations given to this edition.

His son, Rabbi Moshe Shmuel (1856-1925), succeeded his father as rabbi and rosh yeshiva in Klausenberg. He was one of the prominent rabbis of the country. He immigrated to Jerusalem towards the end of his life, and authored Dor Revii, Shevivei Esh, and more. Refer to: HaChatam Sofer V'Talmidav, 528.
