Rav Dovid Menachem Munish Babad

Also known as the Chavatzeles Hasharon of Tarnopol.
Rav Dovid Munish was a staunch chasid of Belz.

In 1892, he succeeded his father as Rav in Strisov, when his father became Rav in Podvolotchisk.
Two years later, he succeeded his father-in-law in Yavrov and served there for
17 years.
In 1909, after the petira of Rav Shimon Badad, son of the Minchas Chinuch,
Rav Shimon’s son – Yehoshua Heshel – became Rav of Tarnapol, but was too frail to
handle the responsibilities.
Thus, two years later, the community welcomed Rav Dovid Munish as de facto Rav, a position that was formalized in 1919, with the petira of Rav Yehoshua Heshel.

He also became the head of the Agudas Harabbanim of Galicia.
