Rabbi Sholom Mordechai Schwadron, known as the Maharsham of Berezhany, was a leading halachic authority of the late 19th century. His multi-volume She'eilos U'Teshuvos Maharsham and his Daas Torah commentary on Shulchan Aruch demonstrated a mastery that drew thousands of halachic inquiries from across the Jewish world.
