Jewish cemetery in Leżajsk, Jewish burial site in Leżajsk, Poland

The cemetery sits on elevated ground at the intersection of Górna and Studzienna streets in the southwestern part of Leżajsk.

The cemetery's existence was documented in a privilege granted to Leżajsk Jews by King Władysław IV on February 26, 1635.

Rabbi Elimelech's tomb within the ohel structure draws thousands of Jewish pilgrims who visit to pray and leave written prayer requests.

The cemetery grounds are enclosed by a fence, and visitors can access the site through a gate decorated with traditional Jewish symbols.

During World War I, the cemetery served as a burial ground for soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Army who died in the region.
