Lwów (Lviv / Lemberg)לבוב

Eastern Galicia — Hapsburg/Polish/Ukrainian metropolis

Lwów (now Lviv, Ukraine; Yiddish Lemberg) was the capital of Eastern Galicia and one of the great Jewish-Polish cities — home to over 100,000 Jews before WWII and the seat of generations of major rabbinic figures. R. Yaakov Yehoshua Falk (Pnei Yehoshua), R. Tzvi Hirsch Berlin, and the Sabbatean Disputation of 1759 all took place here.
