Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Weiss was the Av Beis Din of Swaliva and a leading rabbinical figure in Hungary. A tremendous Torah scholar, he was a devout Chassid of many Admorim and edited his Rabbi’s sefarim. Born in Munkatch, he dedicated himself to the service of G-d from his youth, serving Him in holiness and purity. He was a disciple of the Bnei Yisaschar and Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac of Zidichov. A great Kabbalist, he edited Rabbi Yehuda Tzvi of Rozdol’s sefer Amud HaTorah.

His nephew and disciple, the Imrei Yosef of Spinka, writes in his introduction to Likutei Torah, that Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac edited and organized Rabbi Yitzchak of Zidichov’s sefarim and according to the will of Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac, received these manuscripts. He served as Av Beis Din of Swaliva for twenty years and then as Rosh Av Beis Din of Munkatch for an additional twenty-five years, until his passing in 1893. He authored Beis Yitzchak on tractate megillah, Toldos Yitzchak and Divrei Yitzchak.
