אבאוי סאנטא — ציון בעל שמן רוקח

Abaújszántó — kever of the Shemen Rokeach

Jewish cemetery, Abaújszántó, Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén, Hungary

  • Abaújszántó is one of the ten stops on the Tokaj-Hegyalja route through the kevarim of the region, so almost nobody comes only here — Liska, Kerestir and Ijhel are on the same road and already have their own pages on this site.
  • The community here dates from 1765, when Jews came from Austria, Bohemia and Moravia under the protection of Prince Bretzenheim.
