Rabbi Shmuel Zalman Weinberger (1863 – 1934) was a son and disciple of his father, Rabbi Yehoshua Aharon Tzvi (Mahariatz), and learned as well by the Shevet Sofer and Rabbi David Neiman of Pressburg. He succeeded his father’s position as Rabbi of Margareten (Marghita) where he sustained a large yeshiva as well.

He succeeded him after his death in the Marghita rabbinate becoming an important Hungarian Torah leader. [He was appointed to the rabbinate although he was less than 30 years old and in spite of the fact that he was the youngest of the sons of Rabbi Yehoshua Aharon Zvi Weinberger by the behest of Rebbe Naftali Hertz’ke of Újfehértó (Ratzfert) who promised a cure to a seriously ill person if Rabbi Shmuel Zalman would be granted this position].  He was famed as a venerable scholar as well as for his piety and holiness. He was close to Chassidism and adopted many of their rites (although he was a disciple of the Pressburg Yeshiva which was an Ashkenazi yeshiva). He was friendly with the rebbes of Shinova, Belz, Vizhnitz and Satmar.

In his eulogy, Rabbi Yehuda Rosner, Av Beis Din of Szekelyhid said about him: "…He did not sleep in a bed between Shabbos to Shabbos, only a temporary nap in his chair." He was the father-in-law of the Maharam Brisk, Av Beis Din of Tășnad and was succeeded by his son, Rabbi Mordechai Ezriel.
