Jewish Cemetery

The Jewish Cemetery of Dubossary ranks among the oldest cemeteries in the city, bearing silent witness to centuries of Jewish life along the Dniester. The cemetery contains approximately 2,000 old graves alongside 250 burials made after 1945, together spanning nearly two centuries of documented history. The oldest identified burial dates to 8 Adar 5587 in the Hebrew calendar — corresponding to March 7, 1827 in the Gregorian calendar — though the community itself is considerably older.

Among the cemetery’s most significant features is the preserved burial place of a famous tzaddik — a devout and pious spiritual leader of the Hasidic community, recognized for exceptional righteousness and closeness to God. This grave has become a place of pilgrimage and worship for Hasidic Jews who visit Dubossary, drawing visitors from within Pridnestrovie and from much further afield, connecting this quiet riverside city to the living spiritual traditions of Jewish communities around the world.
