Photos from Lelov

B"H


These pictures of Malchut Lelov were taken by Lucja Morawska who allowed me to publish them on my Internet sites. Lucja, I am very grateful for that.


If any of the readers knows more about Chassidut Lelov, please get in touch !!!




This picture was taken at the Lelov grave in Poland on April 1, 2008.




Lucja's further comment on the picture:
The grave yard doesn't exist any more and matzevot have been used by Nazis to pave the roads.The tomb itself has been located uncovered at the back of small hardware shop for at least 50 years.Inside there's no room for more than 5 people and you can imagine that while praying everyone would like to be as close as possible...this is what's left from the former glory of shtetl...

    Hello Ely,

    The Israeli Lelover Rebbe is in Bnei Brak and there is a small community here in Jerusalem as well. Unfortunately, I haven't had the time for them so far.

    Lucja who gave me the pictures, is really into Lelov and doing research on them. She needs every information avaliable.

    It just seems like you guys in Brooklyn have all the Chassidim and Jerusalem doesn't.:-)
