NEMESSZALÓK The Jewish community was founded in this town of 1,500 inhabitants in 1750. Abraham Mayer was their first rabbi, who also died there after a long and blessed service. He was succeeded by Abraham Segall, who was followed by his son-in-law Moshe Link. Rabbi Link became a dayan at Pápa as well. The last rabbi of the community was David Schükk. They had two small temples, a Talmud Torah and mikveh. In the 1930s their membership was around 200, including affiliated towns and villages in terms of register. This number dwindled gradually. The following settlements belonged to the register district: Külsővat, Gergőli, Vinár, Mihályháza, Acsád, Nagypirit, Kispirit, Csögle, Egeralja, Nyárád, Mezőlak, Békás, Felsőgörzsöny, Alsógörzsöny, Adorjánháza, Dabrony, Vid, Kisszöllős, Nagyszöllős, Vecse, Magyargencs, Kemeneshőgyész, Szergény. In some of these places, there were only 4 or 5 Jewish families. They disappeared without a trace. 120
