Kvarim Trip 5768: Medzhibuzh

2008.09.18
Medzhibuzh is where the Baal Shemtov is buried. He was the foun chassidism, and a veryhumble and holy man. People from all over the world come to pray at his gravesite. It is an extremely peaceful place.




People come to pray for health, success, and much more. Many come to pray to meet their spouses, and for the blessing of children.

This is the grave of R' Zev Volf Kitzis, a famous student of the Baal Shemtov. My children will never forget him, because of his leading role in the story "Shabbos Island."

Around the Baal Shemtov's grave are the graves of many of his students and followers, many of whom themselves were very great men. This is the grave of Rabbi Avrohom Yehoshua Heshil, the Apter Rebbe.





The synagogue of the Baal Shemtov was destroyed, but was later rebuilt on its original foundation.



Foundation of synagogue of the Bach.


Horse grazing next to crumbling remains of fortress in Medzhibuzh.

Maybe I'm a little bit obsessed with churchyards, cemeteries and memorials?.. ;)
