באברויסק — אוהל האדמו״ר מקאפוסט

Bobruisk — ohel of the last Kapuster Rebbe

Jewish cemetery, Minskaya street, Bobruisk, Mogilev Region, Belarus

  • This is the only Jewish burial ground left in the city, on Minskaya street. It was opened in 1921 — the year the rov himself was niftar, and he is the reason it exists.
  • His kever is NOT in the row with the other rabbonim of Bobruisk. The chassidim asked for him to be buried apart, in a place of his own, precisely so that a building could be put up over it and people could come and daven there.
  • The ground is being restored: paths cleared, undergrowth and fallen trees taken out. Later stages are meant to add proper paths and water. Expect work in progress rather than a finished site.
