Jewish history
editUpon the departure of RabbiChananya Yom Tov Lipa Teitelbaum,called the "Ba'al Kedushes Yom Tov"(Hebrew:בעל קדושת יום טוב) who was the city's rabbi untilhis father's death, the town replaced him with his brother, Rabbi Eliyahu Betzalel Teitelbaum.[3]
A few years after Rabbi Eliyahu Betzalel's death, his son, Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum, was appointed to the rabbinate, but died soon after, leaving the position vacant for several years, until he was succeeded by Rabbi Mayer Gruenwald, son of Rabbi Avrohom Yosef of Ungvar, son of RabbiMoshe GreenwaldofChust,Hungary and progenitor of thePupaHasidicdynasty,who inherited the previous rabbi's position upon marrying his daughter in 1928.
Rabbi Chaim Teitelbaum, Eliyahu Betzalel's other son, was the rabbi of the community of theSighethasidim,and was supported by the followers of theKosovsect as well.
Rabbi Mayer established ayeshivafor 45 teenagers (bochurim,"Yeshiva students" ).[citation needed]In January 1940, RabbiJoel TeitelbaumofSatmervisited the town to support his cousin Rabbi Chaim Teitelbaum's claim to the rabbinate.[citation needed]The settlement reached a peak of 1,000 Jewish inhabitants by the year 1940.
In late May, 1944, the Nazis marched into town. Shortly thereafter the town's Jewish residents were deported to concentration camps. Rabbi Teitelbaum was put alive in fire, and Rabbi Grunwald and his family were taken to death camps inAuschwitz.While his wife and 9 children were murdered inAuschwitz,[citation needed]Rabbi Grunwald survived and after the war was instrumental in establishing and strengthening Orthodox Judaism[citation needed]inToronto.He died in 1965.
