The author, R. David Dov Meisels, Av Beit Din of Ujhel (Sátoraljaújhely; 1875-1944; perished in the Holocaust), leading Chassidic rabbi in Hungary. Son-in-law and successor of R. Moshe Yosef Teitelbaum, Av Beit Din of Ujhel (son of the Yitav Lev of Sighet). His wedding took place in 1897 in the court of Rebbe Shlomo Halberstam of Bobov (the wedding was to have been in Ujhel, but was moved to Bobov after his father-in-law unexpectedly passed away that year). His teachings are collected in: Responsa Binyan David (Ujhel, 1932); Binyan David on the Torah and novellae (Ujhel, 1942); and additional books printed in the United States by his descendants who moved there after the Holocaust (his son R. Tzvi Hirsch Meisels, Av Beit Din of Weitzen, and his grandsons – leaders of the Satmar, Sanz and Bobov communities to this day).
