Machzikei Hadass

Machzikei Hadass was an Orthodox Jewish political party in 19th century Austria-Hungary. At the 1879 Reichsrat election, the party ran on a joint list with the Polish nationalist Polenklub. Krakow's chief rabbi Shimon Sofer was elected in the Kolomea-Buczacz-Sniatyn district. He served until his death in 1883.[1]
