HISTORY

  • This building was erected by I. M. Horowitz in May 1910, as evidenced by the inscription on its attic - "1910, 31 Maj". A tenement house from the times of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, built in the early modern style.

The Horowitzes belonged to the rabbinic religious dynasty of the great rabbi and Talmudist Rabbi Zvi Hirsh Horowitz (known as Rabbi Hirsheli), who is considered by Jewish tradition to be a gaon - an eminent scholar of Jewish law. There were many legends, almost fairy tales, about such rabbis as Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Horowitz. As Torah scholars and pious people, they were recognized throughout the Jewish world. Rabbi Yehezkiel from Prague wrote about the "three pillars" on which the Jewish world of that time stood: "Rabbi Yitzhak from Lviv, Rabbi Zvi Hirsch from Chortkov, and Rabbi from Stanislavov."

In the 20s and 30s of the XX century. the rabbi was David Halevi Horowitz.
Rabbi Moshe from Vienna died in Stanislavov on August 3, 1941. During the anti-Jewish action of the Nazis called "Blue Monday", the 70-year-old Rabbi Horowitz was brutally tortured and abused, and at the end he was shot by the Gestapo chief of the city, G. Krieger himself.
