R. Yitzchak Teitelbaum (1858-1942) served as dayan and posek in Bardiov (Bardejov, in German: Bartfeld). He was the disciple of Maharam Schick, and was beloved to the Yitav Lev of Sighet. Likewise, he was revered and cherished by the Rebbes of Bobov, R. Shlomo Halberstam and his son R. Ben Zion - author of Kedushat Tzion. Reputedly, when the Kedushat Tzion of Bobov once visited Bardiov, R. Yitzchak's city, he chose R. Yitzchak, of all the prominent rabbis and community notables who came to greet him, to sit beside him in the carriage on his way from the train station to his lodgings, and he explained his choice by saying: "Do not be surprised that I chose him and none other from amongst all the elder rabbis, since my father [Rebbe Shlomo] attested that he learns Torah for the sake of Heaven".
The letters sent to R. Yitzchak disclose that he was very involved in charitable activities and in supporting Torah scholars.
He perished in Auschwitz on 9th Av 1942. His writings were published in the book Divrei Yitzchak.
