JEWISH sanctuary Medzhybizh
As part of the project "Jewish Revival. Lessons historical truth "group of project participants visited Medzhybizh. through the, that the town remained very much Jewish holy sites, and therefore, which has recently come back Hasidim from around the world, it fully corresponds to the name "little Eretz Yisrael".
Project Manager, HBF manager "Hesed Besht" Mr.. Skrypnyk told about the history of the town, about his Jewish community. Unfortunately, there are no local Jews left in Medzhibozh today, but its streets are crowded with Jewish pilgrims, therefore Hebrew is often heard, Many new houses have been built in the Baal Shem Tov quarter, on which Hebrew tablets are installed, the town is being developed further. Our group visited the graves of the tzaddik Baal Shem Tov and his followers, in the old Jewish cemetery, where a large number of matzahs have survived and are in good condition, visited the old and new synagogues, near the Beshta well, men performed ablution in the mikveh.
We were lucky: Medzhibyzh, to which almost all the Jews of the world are so eager to get to, to leave notes with requests and wishes, to touch the grave of the righteous and draw wisdom from his teachings, practically next to our city. Holy places add strength and strengthen faith, that's why we love visiting Medzhiboz Jewish shrines so much.
