About Ofen (Buda / Budapest)

Ofen is the German name for Buda, on the west bank of the Danube (today part of Budapest, Hungary). It was the seat of Hungary's oldest organized Jewish community, with congregations recorded from the medieval period through the Ottoman occupation. Rabbi Ephraim HaKohen, author of the responsa Sha'ar Ephraim, served as rav of Buda (Ofen) in the seventeenth century.
