Kolel Shomrey HaChomot (“Ungrin Kollel”) was established in Jerusalem in 1856 by Rabbi Shimon Deitch, one of the students of the Hatam Sofer in Pressburg and one of the leaders of the Aliyat Talmidey HaHatam sofer to Eretz Israel. The kollel was later headed by Rabbi Deitch’s son-in-law, Rabbi Moshe Nahum Wallenstein and Rabbi Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld. In 1891, the kollel built the Ungarin houses neighborhood, near Mea Shearim. The kollel supported members of the Hungarian community in finding housing and financial assistance, as part of the “division”, which was usually donated by the Jews in the Diaspora, the aid was provided through the charity fund of the association, and the fund of Rabbi Meir Ba’al Hanes. The members of the Hungarian community in Jerusalem distinguished themselves from the rest of the city in their zeal and strictness to the Halacha and the Judaism, in the spirit of the “New Prohibited by the Torah” method of the Hatam Sofer, and stood out in their leadership of the struggles of the conservative elements among the ultra-Orthodox in Jerusalem and they took a significant part in the establishment of the ultra-Orthodox community.
