Between Slavuta and Zhitomir
The famous press in Slavuta was shut down in 1837 due to a false accusation, and the sons of the Rabbi of Slavuta were imprisoned. In the city of Yuzefov, the press was re-established by their sons, operating there for a brief period 1842-1844. During this time, several rare seforim were printed. In 1847, the press moved to Zhitomir, where it regained its former prominence.
The books printed during the press’s time in Yuzefov are few and exceptionally rare!
