Served as Rav of Pishtian and was renowned as a great Talmid Chacham. Author of Shut Mishneh Sachir. At first, he was a leading anti-Zionisy as one of the Chassidim of the Minchas Elazar of Munkatch, who strongly objected to the Zionist Movement and Agudas Yisroel.  With the outbreak of WWII and the increased persecution of Jews, his outlook dramatically changed. While hiding in Budapest, without books and in mortal danger, he authored his shattering book Em Habanim Semeichah, in which he repented for his obection to immigrating to Eretz Yisrael. In his book he claimed that the torments the Jewish people were going through were punishment for neglecting the building of Eretz Yisrael. Rabbi Teichtel was muredered by the Nazis on the train to Auschwitz several days before the war ended after fiercely protecting another Jew.
