How to get there

New Jewish cemetery, ul. Borowcowa, Chrzanów, Chrzanów County, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland — confirm exact location locally

The exact grave coordinates are not confirmed yet — go by the address and ask locally. We don't publish a coordinate we haven't checked.

1.Chrzanów has an old and a new Jewish cemetery, and the Halberstam ohel is in the NEW one on ul. Borowcowa — directions that say only "the Jewish cemetery" will send you to the wrong place.
2.The ohel stands at the southern end of the grounds and is well maintained; it is a family ohel of the Chrzanów Halberstam line, so others of the family rest there alongside Reb Dovid.
3.Unlike many cemeteries on this route a substantial number of matzevos survive here, so the grounds read as a real cemetery rather than an empty field.
4.Make sure you are at the right Reb Dovid Halberstam — this is the son of the Divrei Chaim of Sanz who died in 1894, not the later Sanz-Zhmigrod Reb Dovid buried in the United States — and confirm the ohel with someone local before you daven.
