YIVO Encyclopedia: "In the 1840s, Yisra’el of Ruzhin fled the Russian Empire and headed to Bucovina, which had been annexed administratively to Galicia. After receiving permission to settle there, he established his court in Sadagora. Although in the early decades of the nineteenth century several rabbis tried to combat the spread of Hasidism, the most vigorous opposition came from the maskilim, whose numbers grew during the first half of the century. Many maskilic works, often presented as sophisticated satires, were devoted to this struggle. The best known among these were written by Yosef Perl and Yitsḥak Erter. Other maskilim, such as Naḥman Krochmal, wrote works of philosophy, while others, including Shelomoh Yehudah Rapoport and later Salomon Buber, produced scholarly works in the field of Jewish studies. During this period, Jewish schools were established in a number of communities."
