Rabbi tombstones

The Jewish cemetery in Bels , a town in Lviv Oblast in western Ukraine , was laid out in 1790 in the west of the city.

As a result of the devastation, only a few tombstones remain in the cemetery today, including the tombs of the leaders of the Belz dynasty : Shalom Rokeach (d. 1855), his son Yehoshua Rokeach (1825-1894) and his grandson Isachar Dow Rokeach (d. 1926 ).

In the last few years the cemetery has been renovated and fenced.

A synagogue and a hotel for the pilgrims to the tombs of the tzaddiks were built on the neighboring property .
