The Menichas Asher of Tchenger (1805-1874) was one of the greatest gedolim and Tzadikim in Hungary. His father was the Gaon Rabbi Shmuel Ha’Levi Jungreis AB”D Csécse (Cetche), author of Toras Aidus. He was the talmid muvhak of Ha’Gaon Rabbi Koppel Charif. He fasted from Motzei Shabbos until Wednesday (Toras Yechezkel vol. 2 pg. 27). He was the son-in-law of Ha’Gaon Rabbi Meir Almasher (Popper) AB”D Mattersdorf. In 1834 he was appointed AB”d in Tchenger where he established one of the most important yeshivas in Hungary at that time. He was known as a Tzadik, and thousands came to him for advice and Brachos.
