Rebbe Chananiah Yom Tov Lipa Teitelbaum, Rabbi of Sighet, the Kedushat Yom Tov (1836-1904), son and successor of Rebbe Yekutiel Yehudah Teitelbaum, the Yitav Lev. Disciple of his father and prominent disciple of Rebbe Chaim Halberstam of Sanz, the Divrei Chaim. He succeeded his father after the latter's passing as Rabbi of Sighet and leader of the Chassidim. Under his leadership, the Sighet Chassidut flourished and numbered thousands of followers. He was a foremost leader of Chassidic Jewry in the Maramureș region, an uncompromising zealot and a fierce opponent of the Zionist movement.

Rebbe Chaim Tzvi Teitelbaum, Rabbi of Sighet, author of Atzei Chaim (1880-1926), son of Rebbe Chananiah Yom Tov Lipa Teitelbaum, author of Kedushat Yom Tov, and son-in-law of Rebbe Shalom Eliezer Halberstam of Ratzfert (son of the Divrei Chaim of Sanz). He frequented the courts of the Tzaddikim of his generation, in particular his uncles Rebbe Yechezkel Shraga of Shinova and Rebbe Baruch of Gorlitz, as well as Rebbe Yehoshua Rokeach of Belz. He was an outstanding Torah scholar, exceptionally holy and G-d-fearing. Reputedly, he never forgot anything he learned. After his father's passing in 1904, at the young age of 24, he was appointed Rabbi and Rebbe of Sighet (capital of the Maramureș county) and became known as one of the leaders of Hungarian Jewry and the country's Orthodox Bureau. He was very influential, and his opinion regarding the appointment of rabbis, dayanim and shochatim was conclusive in Hungarian Orthodox communities, especially in communities with a dominant constituency of Sighet Chassidim (Sighet was the largest and principal Chassidic court in Maramureș). His younger brother was Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaum of Satmar.
