Moraviaמורביה

Czech Republic

Moravia, a historic region of the Czech lands (today the eastern Czech Republic), had a deeply rooted Jewish presence with a strong rabbinic culture; its Chief Rabbinate was seated for centuries at Nikolsburg (Mikulov). Among the many scholars born in Moravia was Rabbi Tzvi Ashkenazi (the Chacham Tzvi), the noted halachic authority of the early eighteenth century.
