Ungvar

Ungvar (today Uzhhorod, in the Transcarpathian region of western Ukraine, historically Hungary) was a major center of Carpathian Jewry with an important yeshiva and rabbinate. Rabbi Meir Eisenstädter (the Maharam Ash) led its community, and Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried, author of the widely used Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, served there as a dayan and composed his famous abridged code in the town.
