Shul gesl
Szul Gesl
Again, we walk through the pedestrian crossing along the former Nadstawna Street and return to the pavement and bike path at the foot of the castle. We pass the place where the Seer of Lublin's Hasidic synagogue once stood and head towards the main Lublin synagogue. In the times of the Lublin tzadik, the chief rabbi here was his opponent, Izrael Horowitz, known as Iron Head. The sidewalk runs here exactly in the same place as the former synagogue alley, called Shul gesl in Yiddish.We are going straight, along the pavement and reaching a memorial plaque marking the place where the main synagogue in Lublin once stood.
