- SCHWARTZ, ABRAHAM JUDAH HA-KOHEN
- SCHWARTZ, ABRAHAM JUDAH HA-KOHEN (1824–1883), Hungarian
rabbi. Schwartz was a pupil of Moses Sofer and of Benjamin Wolf Levi.
From 1861 to 1881 he served as rabbi of Bergszasz and for a number of
years in his native town of Mad. He was an active participant in the
rabbinical gathering in Nagymihaly in 1866 and at the congress held in
Budapest in
1869. Although his personality was molded by the atmosphere of
Pressburg, which was opposed to Ḥasidism, after a visit which he
made to the head of the ḥasidic dynasty of Nowy Sacz (Zanz),
Ḥayyim Halberstam, he became deeply attached to him and to
Ḥasidism. He spent the festival of Shavuot in Zanz for 26
successive years. He also had connections with Isaac Meir Alter,
the head of the ḥasidic dynasty of Gur (gora kalwaria ).
Although he left only one work, responsa Kol Aryeh
(1904), its influence on the rabbis of Hungary was very great. One
of his grandchildren, Dov Beer Spitzer, wrote his biography –
Toledot Kol Aryeh (1940).
