Born in Pressburg and circumcised by the Chatam Sofer, he studied under the Chatam Sofer in his last years. After his teacher's death, he traveled to the yeshiva of the Maharam Ash Rabbi of Ungvár. On his way, he spent a Shabbat in the city of Ohel (Ujhely) by the Rebbe, author of Yishmach Moshe, who lovingly welcomed him and was overjoyed to learn of the greatness and holiness of R. Chaim Zussman's teacher, the Chatam Sofer. From 1851-1858, he served as Rabbi of Gyömöre, and in 1868 was appointed Rabbi of Munkacs. In 1879, he relocated to Budapest to serve as Raavad of its Charedi community.
