First ABD Balkan, then Chust and finally of Nagyszollos (Sellish), Ukraine.

He was one of the three leading rabbis of his generation in Hungary, the others being R. Yekutiel Judah Teitelbaum (Yitav Lev) and R. Moses Schick (MaHaRaM Schick).

He was the author of Tzror HaChayim, published by his son Pinchas Haim Klein in Munkacs in 1876 and again by a descendant in 1975. Instead of the usual Haskamot (Approbations), there are introductory "Letters of Certification from the Great and Famous Luminaries, the Geonim of Our Generation, [long] may they live." Among these luminaries was R. Yekutiel Yehuda (who signed his name as "Teitel Baum") and R. Moses Schick (MaHaRaM Schick).
