Another shochet (religious slaughter) in the community was Rabbi Yaakov Shmeryl YERUSHALMI. He was undoubtably a Rabbinical scholar and an authority on halachic questions, as we have two responsa written by him from the author of Arugas HaBosem, the Rabbi of Chust, within whose sphere of influence the town of Drahiv existed. On the date Wednesday, Parashas Lech-Lecha [8 Cheshvan] 5654 [18 Oct 1893] he wrote a responsa "to the outstanding Rabbi, teacher who fears heaven, the Rabbi Yaakov Shmeryl YERUSHALMI, may his light shine, Shochet and Bodek of the village of Drahiv: regarding the question of finding red spots upon inspection of the lungs..."(Arugas HaBosem, section Yorah Deah, responsa 47), and again on the date of Thursday, Parashas Trumah [29 Shevat] 5656 [29 Feb 1896] "regarding the question of during the act of slaughtering, when the shochet felt an unusual..."(Arugas HaBosem, section Yorah Deah, [responsa 14]).

~ Drahovo Cemetery ~

Jewish families that lived in Drahovo, and possibly other nearby villages, used the Drahovo cemetery as the final resting place for their loved ones.

The Jewish cemetery is located outside of town and appeared somewhat maintained.

In the documents section of the "Other" tab, you will find a link to a U.S. Commission Report completed in 2005 that attempted to document Jewish Cemeteries (and Synagogues and Mass Grave Sites) in Ukraine. This cemetery is not listed as well as many other village cemeteries of the Zakarpats'ka oblast.

~ Cemetery Wall Installation ~

The European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative (ESJF) is a German-based Jewish non-profit organization with the core objective of protecting and preserving Jewish cemetery sites across the European continent, through delineation of cemetery boundaries and the construction of perimeter walls and locking gates.
In 2015, a team erected a wall and gate at the Drahovo cemetery.
