Rabbi Moshe Shmuel Glasner (1856-1924), widely known by the title of his major work as the Dor Revi'i, was a Hungarian rabbi and Talmudist who led the Jewish community of Klausenburg (Kolozsvar; today Cluj, Romania). A descendant of the Chatam Sofer through his mother's family, he studied under his father, Rabbi Avraham Glasner, whom he succeeded as the town's chief rabbi in 1877 and served for more than four decades. His best-known book, Dor Revi'i, a commentary on the Talmudic tractate Chullin, treats the laws of ritual slaughter; its introduction develops the idea that the Oral Torah was deliberately left unwritten so that each generation could interpret it afresh. He also left responsa gathered as Shu"t Dor Revi'i and the homiletical Shevivei Eish. An early figure in the Mizrachi religious-Zionist movement, he settled in Jerusalem in 1923 and died there the following year.
