About Ostroh (Ostrog)
Ostroh (Ostrog), a town in Volhynia (today in Rivne Oblast, western Ukraine), was one of the oldest and most important Jewish communities of Volhynia and a representative at the Council of Four Lands. From the early sixteenth century it housed a celebrated yeshiva; its most renowned head was Rabbi Shmuel Eliezer Eidels (the Maharsha), author of the standard Chiddushei Halachot va-Aggadot on the Talmud, who served as av beit din and rosh yeshiva there for some seventeen years until his death in 1631.
