Rabbi Yitzchak Perls (1784-1754), author of Bayit Ne'eman, was a disciple of Rabbi Meshulam Igra and Rabbi Yosef of Posna, and served as Rabbi in Bonyhad (Hungary), which he left in his last year, during the rise of the reform movement. The Ktav Sofer eulogized him:"The Ga'on and famous righteous Rabbi Moshe Perls, who served as Av Beit Din of Bonyhad. We have lost a precious gem. Was well versed in Shas and Poskim, a man of insight, holy righteous person¦". (Ktav Sofer, Sermons and Articles, Jerusalem 1972, page 203). His son Rabbi Meir Perls (1811-1894), Av Beit Din of Karoli, was among the leading scholars of his generation. Disciple of his father and of the Chatam Sofer.
