Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: A group of mourners visit the the tomb of Rabbi Eliyahu Yosef Rabinowitz at B'nai Israel Cemetery in Cheektowaga, New York, as seen in April 2022. Belying the modest size of Western New York's Hasidic community is its importance in the history of that strain of Judaism: it was to the B'rith Sholem Synagogue on the Near East Side of neighboring Buffalo where Rabbi Rabinowitz came from his home in what's now Ukraine to serve as the first Hasidic rabbi in the United States. Rabbi Rabinowitz's stay in the area was short - from 1908 until his death just two years later - but his piety, modesty, and exceptional knowledge of the Torah so endeared him to local Jewry that his passing made national news. Today, his ohel (tomb) near the entrance to the cemetery, alongside Pine Ridge Road, is an important pilgrimage site for Hasidim from New York City, Toronto, and elsewhere. |
