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.The ohel you will see is a rebuild — the original was lost and the present structure was put up in 2011 — and it stands in the middle of a cemetery that is largely overgrown, so allow time to walk in and expect rough ground.
2.The cemetery is on the south-eastern edge of town, on a small rise among meadows and orchards, roughly 80 metres from the Roman Catholic cemetery. It covers about 0.95 hectares, access is free and unlocked, and around 100 matzevot survive, mostly from the nineteenth century.
3.Make sure you are at the right Epstein. This ohel is over the THIRD Ozharover Rebbe, Reb Aryeh Yehuda Leibush, son of Reb Yechiel Chaim. His grandfather and near-namesake, the first Ozharover Reb Yehuda Leib Epstein, moved to Opole Lubelskie at the end of his life and is buried there — a different town about 40 km to the north-east, in Lublin Voivodeship.
4.No source gives a street number for this cemetery, only that it sits opposite the Catholic cemetery, so confirm the exact turning locally before you drive out.

רבי אריה יהודה לייבוש אפשטיין מאוזשאראוו

Rabbi Aryeh Yehuda Leibush Epstein of Ożarów

The Birkas Tov, third Ozharover Rebbe

ברכת טוב

Son of Reb Yechiel Chaim Epstein, the second Ozharover Rebbe, whom he succeeded in 1887; he had served as a rav from the age of twenty in several towns before Ożarów, and his chassidishe derashos were printed as Birkas Tov (Bilgoraj, 1938). He is the grandson of — not the same man as — the first Ozharover Reb Yehuda Leib Epstein, who is buried in Opole Lubelskie.
