R. Hillel Lichtenstein (1815-1891), prominent disciple of the Chatam Sofer. Born in Vécs to the dayan R. Baruch Bendit. He was renowned from a young age for his fear of G-d and attachment to his Creator, and when he studied in the Pressburg yeshiva, he was a cherished disciple of the Chatam Sofer, who held him in high regard for his pure fear of G-d. He served as Rabbi of Marghita (Hungary, present-day Romania) and Szikszó, Hungary, and in 1867 was appointed rabbi of Kolomyia, Galicia (present day: Ukraine). A famous preacher, he battled to preserve faithful Judaism, and reproved his generation for breaches in Torah observance. He was held in high esteem by the leading rabbis of his generation, and the Divrei Chaim of Sanz praised him profusely. His responsa were published in Beit Hillel (Satmar 1908) and his sermons were published in the four parts of his book Maskil El Dal, Et Laasot, and more.

"And may the merit of our great and holy rabbi stand at my right side… All my aspiration and hope is his great merit, as G-d granted me the merit of seeing the light of the face of the king while still alive, half a year before he was recalled to the heavenly yeshiva, and I merited to attend to him and be like a servant to the king twenty days before his passing. Many times I recited Scripture and Mishnah before him, and my hand did not leave him until our glorious crown was removed from our head" (introduction of R. Yisrael of Shklow to Beur HaGra on Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim, Shklow 1803).
