| This is
Rabbi Eliyahu-Meir ben Boruch
Faivelson, who served as
Kupishok's chief rabbi from 1907-1928. He was a brilliant and
talented religious leader who wrote "Pikuach Nefesh" and "Netzach
Yisroel" and was a founder of Agudas Yisroel. His daughter Chaya-Leah
married Rabbi Zalman Pertzovsky, who was the last rabbi of Kupishok.

| The old synagogue was built
with the best materials and was known as a beautiful edifice, especially
the inside where, in the tradition of many Lithuanian synagogues, the
ceiling was painted a sky blue with clouds and stars. Today, it is
a City Library. A Wall of Memory Holocaust Memorial to the Jews
who died during the Holocaust was erected and dedicated in the building
on July 13, 2004. (Read a description of
this memorial.) |
