Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum Av Beit Din Ujhely (1756-1841) was called by the name of his famous book, the Yismach Moshe. He was born in Poland and in his youth was privileged to study in the Beit Midrash of the Vilna Gaon. Served as Rabbi of Sieniawa and Ujhely and exchanged halachic correspondence with leading rabbis in his times (the Chatam Sofer and others). In later years, he was drawn to Chassidism (after his daughter's marriage to Rabbi Aryeh Leib, author of Aryeh Devei Ila'i, who accompanied him on his travels to Lublin) and he became a disciple of the Chozeh of Lublin and the Ohev Yisrael of Apta.
In 1808, he was appointed Rabbi of Ujhely and thereafter spread Chassidism throughout Hungary. He was a renowned rebbe and wonder-worker and wrote many amulets. Among his books: Heshiv Moshe halachic responsa, Yismach Moshe, and Tefillah L'Moshe. He was the scion of the Rebbes of Siget and Satmar and other prominent Hassidic dynasties.
