Founded by Rabbi Meir Shapiro, the Chachmei Lublin Yeshiva, ((ポーランド語:Jesziwat Chachmei Lublin)), was an important centre for Torah study in Poland. ==History== On May 22–28, 1924, the cornerstone laying ceremony took place for the construction of the yeshiva building. Approximately 50,000 people participated in the event.〔 (Rabbi Meir Shapiro interview with the Jewish Chronicle when he was in London (August 29, 1924 issue) )〕 The opening ceremony took place on June 24–25, 1930. Apart from thousands of local Jews, around 10,000 people arrived from all over Poland and abroad. When the German Nazis took Lublin during World War II, they stripped the interior and burned the vast library in the town square. The cries of the Jews watching their yeshiva and holy books burn to the ground were so loud that the Germans called for the army band to come and stifle their cries of desperation. The building became the regional headquarters of the German Military Police.〔Fundamentally Freund: Preserving Poland's Jewish heritage, By MICHAEL FREUND () 〕 After the war, in the autumn of 1945, the property was taken over by the state as a so-called abandoned possession and assigned to the newly established Marie Curie-Skłodowska University. It was used by the Medical University of Lublin. In 2003 the building was returned to the Jewish community. Its synagogue, the first to be entirely renovated by the Jewish community of Poland since World War II, was reopened on February 11, 2007. Also, under current plans, the first Museum of Hasidism in Europe will be located in the renovated building. As of October 2013, a four star hotel named Hotel Ilan was opened in the building () () 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chachmei Lublin Yeshiva」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
