Kupishok Marketplace, 1912

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.

(Photo was contributed by Esther Rieback Hadassin in memory of her mother Leah-Dina Alitsky Rieback, wife of Ben-Zion Rieback.)

 (This photo was taken during a trip by Percy Berger, with his son, during  the summer of 2001, to revisit his birthplace.)
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.)
