Unterlander Jews
Unterlander Jews ((イディッシュ語:אונטערלאנד), translit. ''Unterland'', "Lowland"; (ヘブライ語:גליל תחתון), translit. ''Galil Takhton'', "Lower Province") were the Jews who resided in the northeastern regions of the historical Kingdom of Hungary, or present-day eastern Slovakia, Zakarpattia Oblast in Ukraine and Northern Transylvania.〔Yeshayahu A. Jelinek, Paul R. Magocsi. ''The Carpathian Diaspora: The Jews of Subcarpathian Rus' and Mukachevo, 1848–1948''. East European Monographs (2007). p. 5-6.〕 Like their kindred Oberlander Jews, the term is uniquely Jewish one, and is not related to "Lower Hungary."〔Menahem Keren-Kratz. ''Cultural Life in Maramaros County (Hungary, Romania, Czechoslovakia): Literature, Press and Jewish Thought, 1874–1944''. Ph.D disertation submitted to the Senate of Bar-Ilan University, 2008. OCLC 352874902. pp. 23-24.〕 Unterland, or "Lowland", was named so by the Oberlander, in spite of being topographically higher: according to Dr. Menahem Kratz, it served to reflect the scorn of the educated westerners to their poor and unacculturated brethren.〔
While refugees from the 1648 Khmelnytsky Uprising were the first Jews to settle in these regions, the vast emigration from the adjacent Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria following its annexation by Empress Maria Theresa in 1772 shaped the character of the Unterlander, in addition to the area's backwardness. Throughout the 19th century, the northeast remained underdeveloped by any parameter. While modern Jewish schools, teaching in German, were established by the authorities in 1850, there only 8 in the entire Kaschau school district which covered most of Unterland. The linguistic shift from Yiddish to vernacular, which was long over in the rest of Hungary by the mid-19th century, was not complete in the province.〔Michael K. Silber. ''(The Emergence of Ultra-Orthodoxy: The Invention of Tradition )''. In: Jack Wertheimer, ed. The Uses of Tradition: Jewish Continuity since Emancipation (New York-Jerusalem: JTS distributed by Harvard U. Press, 1992). pp. 41-42.〕 Other Hungarian Jews derisively called them "Finaks" or "Fins", based on their pronunciation of the phrase 'Von (in Unterland accent ) Wo bist du?' ("from where are you?");〔〔 In ''Fatelessness'', Imre Kertész recalled the Yiddish-speaking, devout "Fins" in Auschwitz.〔Imre Kertész. ''Fateless''. Northwestern University Press, 1992. p. 101.〕 The boundary which separated Unterland from the rest of Hungarian Jewry ran between the Tatra Mountains and Cluj-Napoca. It paralleled the linguistic demaracation line of Western and Middle Yiddish.〔Jechiel Bin-Nun. ''Jiddisch und die Deutschen Mundarten: Unter Besonderer Berücksichtigung des Ostgalizischen Jiddisch''. Walter de Gruyter (1973). p. 93.〕 While the locals' dialect resembled the Galician one, it was laced with Hungarian vocabulary and more influenced by German grammar.〔Robert Perlman. ''Bridging Three Worlds: Hungarian-Jewish Americans, 1848–1914''. University of Massachusetts Press (2009). p. 65.〕 Its sibboleth was the pronunciation of "r" as an Apical consonant. Unterland Yiddish is conserved today mainly by the Satmar hasidim's educational network.〔Steffen Krogh. ''(How Satmarish is Satmar Yiddish? )'' Jiddistik Heute. Düsseldorf Uni. Press, pp. 484-485.〕
The influence of hasidism was strong in the region, though its adherents never constituted a majority. They were known as "Sephardim" owing to their different prayer rite, while the non-hasidim were called "Ashkenazim" in Hungary. Many of the locals belonged to hasidic sects from outside the region, like Belz or Vizhnitz. Later on, native courts sprang up in Unterland, mainly Kaliv, Sighet-Satmar, Munkatsch and Spinka. While there were tensions between the hasidim and the Ashkenazim, they never reached the levels of hostility which characterized the Lithuanian Misnagdim, both due to the movement's local nature and the lack of opposition from Hungary's most important rabbi, Moses Sofer. He did not approve of the sects, but refrained from action. In the 19th century, any discord between Sofer's disciples and the hasidic rebbes was marginalized by the need to oppose Neolog Judaism. The Unterlander, who were poor and traditionalist, had no inclination toward Neology:
only two such communities existed in the region, in Kassa and Ungvar, the largest cities.〔Kinga Froimovich. ''Who Were They? Characteristics of the Religious Trends of Hungarian Jewry on the Eve of their Extermination''. Yad Vashem Studies, vol. 35, 2007. p. 153.〕
