Rabbi Dr. Izsak P. Pfeiffer

the chief rabbi of Monor, was also from Pápa. He was a rabbi, a poet, and a leading member of Maccabee, first serving at Sümeg, then at Pécs. He was the son of the principal Mór Pfeiffer. In accordance with his father’s wish, he did not accept the post of the chief rabbi of Sweden that had been offered to him, since Stockholm did not agree to his conditions concerning ritual practices. He was an excellent translator of the Bible. His name was well known throughout the country because of his numerous articles, such as Lélekláng, Találkozás az Úrral, etc. The Zionist speeches of the young rabbinical student left their mark on the soul of his young listeners at Pápa.
