Yehuda Mair Schapira

The Chachmei Lublin Yeshiva was founded by Jehuda Mair Schapira and is located at Lubartowska Street No. 35 (originally No. 57) in Lublin , Poland . The building, built in 1930, was demolished by the National Socialists, later restored and is now a listed building. The synagogue and school building houses the first museum on Hasidism in Europe and a hotel.

history

Lublin has a long Jewish tradition that goes back to the 14th century. The "Jewish privilege" granted by King Casimir in 1336 encouraged the settlement of Jews, including scholars. With the yeshiva Chachmei, Meir Shapiro founded the world's largest Talmud school in 1930 . More than 20,000 people attended the inauguration ceremony.

In 1939 around 40% of Lublin's residents were Jews, a total of around 40,000 people. Most died in Bełżec and Majdanek during the Holocaust ; the Jewish quarter was destroyed. The yeshiva building, however, was retained. It was used by the Lublin Medical Academy until 2003 and then returned to the Warsaw Jewish community to be used again as a synagogue, among other things. The yeshiva, synagogue, library and museum were restored and furnished. When the Torah scroll was brought to the synagogue on February 11, 2007 , this work was not yet completed. Yeshiva graduates who had completed their training before World War II were also invited to the ceremony .
