Not far frompresent-day Lepel’ is an ancient settlement , which bears thename Stary i-Lepel’ (Old Lepel’); Lepel’ was formerlyhere. In 1563 Russian troops burned Lepel’. In 1568 KingSigismund-August ordered a fortified castle built here. In 1805Lepel’ was made a district capital. Number of inhabitants is6,797 (3,441 males and 3,356 females); Orthodox-2,391; Schismatics(a)-96; Catholics-1,133; Protestants-180; Jews-2,966; otherfaiths-31; nobility-148; clergy-32; prominent citizens andmerchants-187; townspeople-4,599; peasants-1,683; other socialestates-148. Two Orthodox churches; Catholic cathedral; synagogue and4 Jewish prayer houses.

One flour-mill, (at 50,000 rubles), 2 hulling mills, 1 brewery, 1 tobacco factory. Hospital, 3 doctors, and 2paramedics. Lepel’ district occupies 3,574 square versts(b). Hills enter the southern part from Mogilev province, and they gradually lower until the Western Dvina and form its steep banks. Among the hills of the district it is possible to point out the Katarsa Hills, which frame the Svecha River; then it is possible to point out the hills which are located between the town of Lepel’and the village of Pyshno and are called "Pyshnogory" ("Pyshno Hills"). Lepel’ district represents beautiful aeries of significant hills separated by rather large, clean lakes with mirrorsurfaces and connected by narrow streams extending for many versts.The district is washed by rivers emptying into the Western Dvina. Inthe south, near the town of Lepel’, the waters of the Dnepr basin approach very close to the waters of the Western Dvina basin.Even Peter I considered connecting the Baltic and the Black Seas by means of the Dvina and Dnepr Rivers. Paul I connected the Berezina River by a canal to the Ulla River, which flows into Lepel’ district and empties into the Dvina River (see Berezina System). The Svyech and Osvyeya empty into the Ulla River; the Ushach River empties into the Western Dvina; the remaining rivers of the district are insignificant. The Ulla is navigable. Of the lakes the more significant ones are: Lepel’ (see article), Cherstvyaty (11square versts), Yanovo (7 _ square versts), Ottolovo (8 square versts), and others.

Dear Mr. Saxe,
Thanks a lot for your answer through Ruven. I hereby send you a newspaper article which describes part of our activities last year. Rabbi Tavger told me that he had got many requests by E-mail about graves in Belarus. I will try to let you know any news about Lepel. We will also publish a report of our journey by E-mail. We are in contact with Mr. Frank Swartz, and we are preparing the equipment we need for cleaning the old tombstones. We have a trustworthy person in Lepel by name of Leonid Gurwitz who will be waiting for us there.
Donations would encourage us very much. Our address is : "Bamessilah" P.O.B. 16069 Jerusalem, Israel
Best regards.
Israel Taub.

Subject: Lepel cemetery
On August 31, 1998 I visited Lepel with two of my friends.
In the town there is a big Jewish cemetery, located in the woods on the edge of the lake. It is told that a third of it flooded when a dam was built on the river and the lake expanded. The cemetery is not fenced off, and the older part is very uncared for. The cars which travel next to the edge of the lake are riding right on the gravestones. The newer graves take up a small part of the area.
Today there are 38 old Jewish people left, and we met with two of them. We asked them to prepare for us a detailed map and list of the cemetery. It was done in a very organized and dedicated manner. This list includes family names, first names and father's names as well as dates of birth and death.
Below are all the family names from the list (all the names have been changed to the masculine).

Special Notice concering the Lepel Jewish Cemetery: Feb. 6, 1999
Considering the above messages about the Lepel Jewish Cemetery, the notion has arisen that it would be worthwhile genealogically to identify the graves in the old section of the cemetery, which is currently in disrepair. The gravestones would have to be erected and read. In order to do this, we could raise money for local laborers to do the hard physical work possibly under the direction of the local Jewish community. It would be reasonable at the same time to try to rehabilitate the old cemetery by placing a fence around it and clean it up. This would be a Mitzvah! The money needed would probably not be great considering the wages and cost of living in Belarus today.
If this thought stirs anyone, please be in contact with Joel Alpert
-----
Here is the beginning: A message from Allen B. Saxe in December 1999
The East European Jewish Preservation Project located in Belarus is conducting an initial survey of the Lepel Jewish Cemetery. The cemetery is in serious disrepair. A fund needs to be established to clean up the cemetery,reerect headstones, and fence or wall the cemetery from adjoining properties. A careful identification of headstones will be undertaken and will be made available on various websites. If you are interested in contributing to the project or in receiving progress reports contact Allen B. Saxe (absaxe@earthlink.net ).
There was at one time a Lepler landsmannschaft, at various times listed as the Independent Lepler Benevolent Association and the Independent Lepler Society, in New York. I know this because both my paternal grandparents are buried in Independent Lepler plots. My grandmother Sarah Paley Touger (d. 1912) is in the Baron Hirsch Cemetery in Staten Island, NY and my grandfather Louis Touger (d. 1937) is in Beth David Cemetery in Elmont, Long Isl and, NY. There were Tougers buried in the latter plot as late as 1963. Unfortunately the last contact person that Beth David has on record has been dead for years, and his widow is not aware of anyone having succeeded him. If anyone has further information about this group, please submit it to this page ( Joel Alpert ).

Subject: List of Lepel Jews Killed by Nazis
Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2000
I received from Leonid Guryevitch, a citizen of Lepel (tel. +375-213248293) a list of the Jews of Lepel who were killed by the Nazis. The Germans took over Lepel July 3, 1941. A ghetto was made on the outskirts of the town for all the Jews who were left. On February 28, 1942 the ghetto was liquidated.
A memorial stone was put up at the site, next to the town of Chernorutchye, 8 km. south of Lepel, on the right side of the road Vitebsk/Minsk.
Sincerely

Dear Mr. Alpert,
I am researching the PAPERIN family from Lepel and I have found these two documents concerning Lepel, which were filmed by Mormons. The list were not too large so I translated them. I think it would be interesting for other Lepel researchers if you could put it on the Lepel website.
One of them is the List of the Prayer Society Members, the other one is a similar List for the Prayer School (both are dated1841). There were some places which were difficult to read - these places and my own comments are red. Please note that I am not a native speaker (I was born in Moscow and study now in Germany).
Best regards,

My name is Linda Steinhart. I have a brother named Stephen Steinhart. Our father, Louis, came from Lepel. He left there in 1916 or 17, during the first world War. He first settled in San Francisco and several years later moved to Brooklyn, NY. He left a very large family in Lepel-- his mother and father and 5 brothers and six sisters. None of them, to our knowledge, emigrated to the US or Israel. We have some letters that were sent to my father by his family in the 1920s, but none more recent than that. I have found out that some of my relatives moved to Azerbaijan but have not been able to locate any of them. My fath er died in 1982. He was age 84 or 86 (we never really knew the year in which he was born). I would be very interested to know if anyone who has logged on to the Lepel website has any information about my family. Thank you.
Subject: cemetery list from "Bamesila" Trip
From: Rav Eliyahu Tavger <eliyahu@tekhelet.com>
Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2000
During July 19-25, 2000 a roots-trip took place by "Bamesila", an organization of high school student volunteers from Israel, headed by Rabbi Israel Taub. The trip visited the towns of Molodechno, Volozhin, Borisov, Zembin, Lepel, Vitebsk and Orsha. The students visited the old cemeteries in these places, cleaned there and copied names from the gravestones. Rabbi Israel Taub gave me the lists of names and asked me to publicize it here.
There might be some errors in the lists of names because of the difficulty in reading the gravestones as well as some difficulty in reading the hand written lists of names. The lists are only partial and does not cover all that was found in all the cemeteries.
