history

Jampil was given its current name in 1535 and town charter ( Magdeburg law ) in 1569 .

The roots of the Jewish community go back to the 15th century, probably even further. Its most important rabbis were Reb Mechel , the "holy Magid " of Złoczów , his son Reb Josef von Jampol and the "Noda Bihuda" (Rabbi Ezechiel Landau ).
