How to get there

Jewish cemetery, Cieszanów, Lubaczów County, Podkarpackie 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.Not one matzevah survives here — the cemetery's gravestones were taken away under the German occupation, and the ohel you will find is a modern reconstruction, so the grave beneath it is marked rather than original.
2.What is left is a fenced, largely empty field with the single ohel standing in it — come expecting that and you will not be thrown.
3.Hasidim come to daven here on his yahrzeit; on any ordinary day you will likely be the only ones on the ground.
4.Confirm the exact spot with someone local before you daven, and be sure which son of the Shinover you are at — his brothers led Tarnów and other towns nearby and the Halberstam names repeat.
