Lviv (Lemberg)למברג

Ukraine

Lviv (German Lemberg, Polish Lwów), the historic capital of eastern Galicia (today in western Ukraine), held one of the major rabbinates of the region. Rabbi Joshua Falk, author of the Sma and Drisha u-Perisha, headed a yeshiva there in the early seventeenth century, and Rabbi Jacob Joshua Falk, author of the Pnei Yehoshua, served in its chief rabbinate from 1717. The city remained a leading center of Galician Torah scholarship and Hebrew printing into the modern era.
