Bobov Synagogue (Kraków)

The Bobov Synagogue (Polish: Synagoga chasydów z Bobowej w Krakowie) is a former Hasidic Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 12 Estery Street, in the historic Kazimierz district of Kraków, in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship of Poland. Completed in 1871, the synagogue was established by followers of Rabbi Shlomo Halberstam of Bobov.

History

The synagogue was founded on the first story of an apartment block and also contained a Talmudic school which was situated adjacent to the prayer hall. During World War II, the Nazis vandalized the synagogue. At the end of the war, the synagogue was converted into apartments. Since the summer of 1990, it has been used as a hostel for the poor. Nothing remains today indicating its former use as a synagogue.
