Rabbi Nesanel Hakohen Fried (1857-1915) was the son of Rabbi Yechiel Michel, ab”d of Kapisch, and a descendant of Rabbi Naftali Katz, author of Smichus Chachamim. Already in his youth he was known for his sharp mind and incredible breadth of knowledge. He was a leading Torah giant and a prominent Hungarian respondent. He led a yeshiva in Balmazújváros for more than twenty years. During World War I he fasted regularly. This greatly weakened his body and he passed away at the young age of fifty-eight. He authored Responsa Pnei Meivin and Pnei Meivin on the Torah.
