Bibliographical note
Funding Information:The research for this chapter was conducted while I had the privilege of being a postdoctoral fellow at the Israeli Inter-university Academic Partnership in Russian and Eastern European Studies. Research for this study was supported in part by a grant from the Israel Science Foundation (#1275/15), led by Uriel Gellman. My initial attempt to describe the history of the Munkács rabbinate appeared in the introductory chapter of my doctoral dissertation (L. Cooper, ‘Ha’admor mimunkatch harav h.ayim elazar shapira’, Ph.D. thesis (Bar-Ilan University, 2011), 48–61). I believe my presentation of the earliest rabbis of Munkács was oversimplified and hence inaccurate. I hope that the more comprehensive presentation here will correct my earlier errors. I presented versions of this study at two conferences: ‘Jewish Life in the 19th and 20th Century Austrian-Hungarian Border Region’, Andrássy University, Budapest, 2012 and ‘Always Hungarian: The Jews of Hungary through the Vicissitudes of the Modern Era’, Bar-Ilan University, 2016. I am grateful for these opportunities and for the feedback I received. It is my pleasure to thank learned colleagues and mentors who have helped me refine my arguments: Yitzhak Brand, Mayer Yosef Frankel, Menachem Keren-Kratz, Zvi Leshem, Jossi Rabinovich, Katalin Franciska Rac, and Amihai Radzyner.
