About Maribor
Maribor, a city in the Styria region of present-day Slovenia, had a medieval Jewish community with a synagogue (still preserved) before the expulsion of Jews from the Austrian duchies at the end of the fifteenth century. It was the birthplace, in 1390, of Rabbi Israel Isserlein, author of the Terumat HaDeshen.
