Finding the kever
- 1.The Jewish cemetery is at the end of Słowackiego Street; use the map link rather than only the city center.
- 2.The tziyun is in the cemetery with other historic kevarim of Rymanów.
- 3.For a yahrzeit visit or group, confirm current cemetery access before traveling.
- 4.There are TWO ohels at the top of the cemetery hill, not one. Reb Mendele is in his own; Reb Hirshele Rymanover and his son Reb Yosef are in the second. Looking for Reb Hirshele inside Reb Mendele's ohel is the usual way people miss him.
Reb Mendele of Rymanów was a leading disciple of Reb Elimelech of Lizhensk and the founder of the Rymanów Chassidic court. His kever is a central stop in southern Poland.
