A key moment for the Herzog family involved one of Rabbi Menachem’s great-grandsons, Shraga Feish (“Philip”) Herzog (1843-1918). After the death of his father in 1857, Shraga was called back from yeshiva to run the business and help support the family. His rebbe, Rabbi Yehuda Asad, a renowned Torah giant, prevailed upon him to leave the yeshiva in Szerdaheli (modern-day Dunajská Streda in southwest Slovakia).
Shraga worked hard, and the family prospered. According to the family lore, around 1875 Herzog was awarded the exclusive contract to provide wines and spirits to Kaiser Franz Josef of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and given the title Freiherr or Baron (at the time Baron was commonly used in social and commercial settings even in writing. Shraga Herzog’s example of religious commitment and real world accomplishment have stayed with the Herzog family to this day.
