Rabbi Mordechai Brisk (1886 - 1944) was a prominent rabbinical leader of Hungary and Romania. He educated a generation of rabbis and Torah scholars and led a flourishing yeshiva which was proudly compared to the Volozhin Yeshiva of Lithuania and Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin of Poland. Rabbi Mordechai began to serve as Rabbi of Tăşnad in 1918 and served in this capacity until his tragic murder in the Auschwitz camps on the 11th of Sivan, 1944. He authored Maharam Brisk Responsa – 2 volumes and Drashos Maharam Brisk.
