About Rabbi Meir Dovid Tabak

From http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/maramures/mar050.html :

For many years Rabbi Meir Dovid Tabak served as a Dayan in Kretchinef. He was the son of the famous R' Shlomo Yehuda Tabak, the author of Erech Shai and Tshuros Shai. Like his father, he was a Torah gaon who had a sharp mind and broad grasp of the Torah. However, he did not publicize his writings and thus his fame in the Torah world was more limited than that of his father. After his father passed away in 5668 (1908), he was chosen to fill his father's position in Sziget. He died in Sziget on 2 Nisan 5696 (1936) at the age of about 90 years old. Two responsa written to him, both from the period when he lived in Kretchinef:

Tshuvos Maharsham, part 2, section 229: “…about the mikveh in which was set up a samovar to heat the water, and many people put hot coals there on Shabbos eve shortly before sunset so that the coals should burn through the night in order that the water should be somewhat warm on Shabbos morning. Your honor raised the question as to whether there is a concern that someone might stir the coals on Shabbos…”

Avnei Zicharon, part 1, section 97 (from the year 5664): “…regarding Reuven, who bought in a tender of the non-Jewish court system the rights to the wild apples from the forest owned by the landowner of the village, and afterwards sold to Shimon 300 [units] of mixed apples composed of three quarters wild apples and one quarter cultivated apples…”

Disciple of the Rahak of Sieniawa. Served as dayan and Rabbi of Kretchinef and succeeded his father as Av Beit Din of Sighet. According to his tombstone, he wrote a book called “Birkat Shadayim” but apparently, it was never printed.
