Born in 1879. A talmid of R' Menachem Brody, Rav of Kaliv. He was the son-in-law of the Rav Ha-charif (literally, "sharp Rabbi") Rabbi David Hass (Haas? Hasz? Has?) the Shochet of Vizhali (somewhere in Hungary, haven't yet figured out exactly where).
After his marriage, he resided close to his in-laws and he studied by him the art of shechitah. He also studied among the shokhtim of Kosice (Kashau). In 1902, we found him practicing Shechita in Felsődobsza (is a village in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County in northeastern Hungary). What follows is a list of Shokhtim and Rabbanim who gave him their personal 'seal of approval' so to speak.
At some point in the early 1900's, he picked up and emigrated to America (Cleveland, Ohio) where he served as Shokhet. He emigrated along with his wife and children and there should be some record of this family in Ohio but I was unable to find a trace of them thus far. Your help would be appreciated.
