Abstract:
This study outlines the career of Mihály Morgenstern/Marczali (1823?–1889), the first Neolog rabbi of the Jewish community of Marcali in western Hungary, as well as his role as a representative of his county in the Hungarian Jewish Congress of 1868–69. Utilizing memoirs, the contemporary press and archival sources, the article provides the background to the historical and cultural circumstances that shaped his life and career, and offers an account of the turbulent local elections for the Jewish Congress in Somogy County.
