Cluj (Klausenburg)

Cluj (German Klausenburg, Hungarian Kolozsvár), the principal city of Transylvania (today Cluj-Napoca, Romania), had a large Jewish community. Rabbi Moshe Shmuel Glasner served as its chief rabbi from 1877 to 1923, and it later gave its name to the Sanz-Klausenburg chasidic dynasty, founded there by Rabbi Yekutiel Yehuda Halberstam, a great-grandson of the Divrei Chaim of Sanz.
