{"2473":"Joseph Schlesinger founded his firm, the Joseph Schlesinger Publishing House in 1858 in Bratislava (then Pressburg). A branch in Budapest was created at a later date and they became a leading publisher of prayer books and other items, supplying several European countries as well as North Africa. The firm Joseph Schlesinger Publishing House was active in Vienna and in Budapest until the years of World War Two. The Vienna branch was closed down in 1938 and the Budapest branch continued functioning until March 1944. In 1939 Akiva Schlesinger, a great-great-grandson of Joseph Schlesinger, left Budapest and moved to Israel to open a branch of the company in Tel Aviv, changing its name to Sinai Publishing Company. The company focuses on the publication of religious books, mainly the scriptures and prayer books, with translations into a wide range of languages. It also acts as a distributor of books on Jewish subjects, as well as other Judaica items."}
