Rabbi Akiva Sofer

From Wikipedia on the Chasam Sofer:

“[The Chasam] Sofer established a yeshiva in Pozsony (Pressburg in German; today Bratislava, Slovakia), the Pressburg Yeshiva, which became the most influential yeshiva in Central Europe, producing hundreds of future leaders of Hungarian Jewry. This yeshiva continued to function until World War II; afterward, it was relocated to Jerusalem, under the leadership of the Chasam Sofer’s great-grandson, Rabbi Akiva Sofer (the Daas Sofer).”

This R’ Akiva Sofer is the son of R’ Yochanan Sofer ZT”L, himself a great-great grandson of the Chasam Sofer.

The Chasam Sofer wittingly stated “Chadash Assur Min HaTorah” with the Reform movement. It’s clear that his Einiklach didn’t see this apply with reinstituting the mitzva of Techeiles in today’s times.

“Furthermore, I join the words of my dear brothers, the esteemed הרבנים הגאונים, our master Rabbi Zalman Dovid Yeshaya Sofer, shlit”a, Av Beis Din of Erlau in Boro Park, may it be rebuilt and established, author of Mishnas HaSofer; and my brother, the esteemed Rabbi Aharon, shlit”a, Av Beis Din of Erlau in the city of Elad, author of Avnei Sofer, who elaborated with good taste and sound reasoning about that which our generation has merited, through the kindness of Hashem, that we are able to fulfill the mitzvah of tzitzis with strings of Techeiles.

And we, the sons and תלמידים of the crown of our heads, our master the Rebbe, author of Imrei Sofer, of blessed and holy memory, are drawn after him, for he conducted himself to wear tzitzis with Techeiles.
