Rabbi '''Moshe Halberstam''' ({{Langx|he|משה הלברשטאם}}; April 1, 1932 – April 26, 2006) was the son of Grand Rabbi Yaakov Halberstam of [Tschakava](/source/Szczakowa), a scion of the [Sanz](/source/Sanz_(Hasidic_dynasty)) dynasty, and of the daughter of Rabbi [Sholom Moskowitz](/source/Shotz_(Hasidic_dynasty)) of [Shotz](/source/Shotz_(Hasidic_dynasty)) of [London](/source/London). 

He was the [Rosh Yeshiva](/source/Rosh_Yeshiva)h of the Tschakava Yeshivah in Jerusalem and one of the most prominent members of the [Edah Charedis](/source/Edah_Charedis) Rabbinical court of [Jerusalem](/source/Jerusalem). He was known as a well-versed [Torah](/source/Torah) scholar and a decisor of [Halachic](/source/Halachah) law. He wrote approbations to many works of [Torah](/source/Torah) literature.
