Rebbe Moshe David Teitelbaum, Av Beit Din of Magyarlápos (1856-1935), eldest son of Rebbe Yisrael Yaakov Yukel Teitelbaum, Av Beit Din of Volova, son-in-law of the Yitav Lev of Sighet. He married the daughter of Rebbe Aryeh Leibush Halberstam, Av Beit Din of Dukla. At the direction of his grandfather, the Divrei Chaim, the wedding took place in Sanz, after which Rebbe Moshe David remained a member of the Divrei Chaim's household for a full year, receiving Torah and Chassidic teachings from him. Afterwards, he moved to Sighet to keep the company of his grandfather, the Yitav Lev. His illustrious grandfather involved him in the editing of the book Tefillah LeMoshe on Tehillim by their forbear, the Yismach Moshe, which was printed in 1880. The Yitav Lev later entrusted him with all of his own manuscripts as well as those of the Yismach Moshe in order to edit and print them; Rebbe Moshe David first printed the books Yitav Panim and Rav Tuv by his mother's father, the Yitav Lev, and he later edited and printed two new parts of the Yismach Moshe, on Neviim and Ketuvim and various other subjects, which were printed in 1906-1908. In 1882, he was appointed Av Beit Din of Magyarlápos (today: Târgu Lăpuș, Romania), and he served there for over fifty years. He established an important yeshiva in his city, numbering over a hundred students. He served as head of the Orthodox Bureau in Transylvania.
