Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Ehrenreich (1863-1944) Av Beit Din of Shamloy and author of Shut Lechem Shlomo. A Gaon, Chassid and Kabbalist, one of the leading rabbis of Hungary, a leading Chassid of the Admor author of the Kedushat Yom Tov of Siget and an admirer of his son the Admor Rabbi Yoel of Satmar, who, like him, sharply objected to Zionism and Agudat Yisrael. Yet, he was also known for his love of Eretz Yisrael and his community sent the largest donations to Eretz Yisrael. During the Holocaust, he could escape to Romania yet refused to do so, saying he now had a chance to observe the Mitzvah of Kiddush Hashem. He perished in Auschwitz with most of his family.
