The Jewish communities of the cities of Speyer, Worms, and Mainz
formed the league of cities which became the center of Jewish life during Medieval times.
These are referred to as the ShUM cities, after the first letters of the Hebrew names:
Shin for Speyer (Shpira), Waw for Worms (Varmaisa) and Mem for Mainz (Magentza).
