Lelow
Similar pilgrimages [to Lezajsk - PC], but
on a much smaller scale (200-300 people), are made to the ohel of David
Biedermann (1746-1814) in Lelow (the most convenient route from Cracow
is through Skala and Wolbrom). The first impression is one of shock as
the ohel is in a converted storage space which was once part of a shop
in ul. Ogrodowa (the key is available from Mr Roman Filewski who lives
at ul. Ogrodowa 7). The synagogue, which during the Communist era was
turned into a workshop for the co-operative of the disabled, these days
performs religious services, although only on certain occasions. It is
situated on the other side of the ohel at ul. Ogrodowa 3; the key is
with Ms Wojcik, ul. Nadrzeczna, phone +17 3550109. The anniversary of
the death of David of Lelow falls on the 7th day of Shevat. All of the
furnishings necessary for conducting prayer are then brought to the
synagogue and removed after the service.
