Eisenstadt

Eisenstadt (Hungarian Kismarton), a town in the Burgenland region (today in eastern Austria), was the leading community of the Sheva Kehillot ('Seven Communities') of Jews who settled under the protection of the Esterházy princes after the 1670 expulsion from Vienna. Rabbi Meir Eisenstadt (author of Panim Me'irot) served as its rabbi from 1714, and in the nineteenth century Rabbi Azriel Hildesheimer led a modern yeshiva there.
