Student of Rav Yehuda Greenwald, the Ra’avad of Satmar, and Rav Moshe Greenwald, rabbi of Khust and author of Arugot HaBosem. Would travel to the tzaddikim of the generation, like Rabbi Issachar Dov Rokach of Belz, Rabbi Yisrael Zvi Rotenburg of Cassani, Rabbi Yisrael Hagar of Vizhnitz (lived the last few years of his life in Grosvradin). At the end of his life he moved to Israel and lived in Tzfat, where he served as rabbi of the She’erit HaPlita synagogue. Was father-in-law of Rabbi Aharon Yehiel Leifer, the Rebbe of Nadvorna-Banya-Tzfat. Famous as a miracle worker.
There is a story about him from when he was rabbi in Sochava: there was a drought and he gathered a minyan and organized a prayer for rain, while everyone was wearing their tallitot and tefillin. A short time later the rain began to fall, surprising the Jews and the goyim, who immediately thanked him and gave him gifts. He wrote Tal Orot on halachot of Shabbat (two sections), Shut Agudat Ezov on the Four Sections of the Shulchan Aruch, Tal Torah on the Torah and moadim, Chiddushim on the Shas and the Mishnah Torah by the Rambam.
