He arrived at the home of his Rabbi the Chatam Sofer during the last minutes of his life and when nearing his last breath, the Chatam Sofer signaled Rabbi Menachem to leave the house so that the Cohen should not remain in a house with a dead person (Chut HaMeshulash). That same year he was appointed as Rabbi of Sopronkeresztur (Zhelym). He was one of the leading rabbis of Hungary. Among the most renowned of the disciples of his yeshiva were Rabbi Moshe Greenwald, author of Arugot HaBosem, Rabbi Aharon Chaim son of the Maharam Schick, etc.
