Mattersdorf

Mattersdorf (today Mattersburg, in Burgenland, eastern Austria) was one of the Sheva Kehillot ('Seven Communities') under Esterházy protection and a noted center of Torah study. Among the authorities associated with its yeshiva and rabbinate was Rabbi Shimon Sofer, a son of the Chatam Sofer; the name 'Mattersdorf' was later given to a Jerusalem neighborhood by its survivors.
