About Nikolsburg (Mikulov)

Nikolsburg (Czech Mikulov), a town in southern Moravia (today the Czech Republic), was the seat of the Chief Rabbinate of Moravia from the late sixteenth century until 1851 and Moravia's most populous Jewish community. The Maharal of Prague (Judah Loew ben Bezalel) served as rav here before moving to Prague, and the post was later held by Rabbi Mordechai Benet (rabbi of Nikolsburg and Chief Rabbi of Moravia, 1789-1829) and by the chasidic master Rabbi Shmelke Horowitz of Nikolsburg, among other leading authorities.
