Chewra Nosim Synagogue in Lublin

Chewra Nosim Synagogue in Lublin is a prayer house located on the first floor of a residential building on Lubartowska Street. It contains a prayer hall and a Memorial Chamber dedicated to Lublin's Jewish community, maintained today by the Social and Cultural Society of Jews.

The building was constructed before 1889 by Berek Cygelman and the Goldsobel family, then transferred to the Lublin Jewish community in 1905. It survived World War II and remains the sole preserved Jewish prayer house from the pre-war period in the city.

The space serves as a gathering place during major Jewish holidays like Pesach, Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, and Chanuka, bringing the community together for shared observance. These celebrations mark the rhythm of the year and connect people through religious practice and tradition.

The building is easily located on Lubartowska Street in central Lublin and houses offices of the community organization that maintains records and conducts activities. Visitors should check in advance as access is primarily organized around community events and religious observances.

The building preserves not just a prayer house but physical evidence of Lublin's Jewish history that exists nowhere else in the city. This collection documents the life and memories of a community that thrived before the war.
