Holy Ga’on Rabbi Amram Rosenbaum – Rabbi Amram Chasida (1790-1830), among leading disciples of the Chasam Sofer, known for his genius and holiness from youth and referred to as divine “Rabbi Amram Chasida”. It is known that already in childhood he merited "Gilu Eiliyahu" (the revelation of Eliyahu the Prophet). Served as Av Beit Din of Mád in Hungary; immigrated to Eretz Ysroel in 1826 and was Av Beit Din in Tzfas [responses written to him by the Chatam Sofer are well-known in which he refers to him as “agent of the Almighty, devout Chassid” and praises him with additional expressions and titles which demonstrate the extreme degree of esteem with which the rabbi regarded his student]. Passed away at a young age of approximately forty, and his rabbi, the Chatam Sofer eulogized him and stated: “he utterly sacrificed himself for the Almighty… besides being a notably righteous genius while abroad, also upon immigrating to Eretz Israel his greatness was recognized…”. Many rabbinical families of Hungary descended from him (Rabbi Amram Blum author of Beit She’arim and others).
