Rabbi Yitzchok Yaakov Weiss (1902–1989), commonly known as the Minchas Yitzchak after the Responsa he authored, was the rabbi of the Edah HaChareidis in Jerusalem] at the time of his death, but his halakhic influence extended well beyond the borders of his community as prominent posek (Halachic decisor), and Talmudic scholar. He was a world-renowned expert on Jewish law and his rulings are frequently cited and relied upon by rabbinic courts and scholars.
