The first existing records of it come from the 12th century. Prior to World War I, it was a part of the Bedichev district of Kiev province in the Russian Empire. Its coordinates are Latitude 49&deg;29&acute;, Longitude 29&deg;16&acute;. <P>In 1897, the Jewish population of Pogrebishche was 2,494, a fairly small shtetl, and in 1926 it rose slightly, to 2,881. What this means is that we, the Pogrebishche shtetLink group, have a reasonable goal in trying to identifying all the Jewish residents of Pogrebishche. <H2>Other Names</H2> <P> Due to political shifts over the last few hundred years, Pogrebishche has names and spellings in a variety of languages.

The responsa dates to 1603 and can be seen <A HREF="maasatben22.pdf">here</A>. It tells of a man from Pogrebishche who was unwilling to divorce his wife but eventually gave her a get after being locked up by the beit din (court). <P>On the webpage of the <A HREF="http://masters.donntu.edu.ua/qhistory/ustav/dec_3_en.html">Universal Scientists International Charity Fund</A> there is a paper entitled "Sacral Meanng of Ukrainian Region Along the River Rus." It is a rough translation from Russian, but explains that Pogrebishche was some sort of sacred burial site. In particular, they note that Pogrebishcha dates back at least to the 12th century and that the name can mean either "big cellar" or "the place of burial." The paper suggests that the tribe of Dan migrated to this area from Israel, and points to the name of several rivers in the area: the Don, the Dnieper, the Desna, the Dvina, and the Danube, as proof.</UL> <H3>Culture in Pogrebishche</H3> <UL><P><A HREF="CraftsAndGuilds.htm"><B>A History of Jewish Crafts and Guilds</B></A> by Mark Wischnitzer lists two artistic items that were in the Pogrebishche synagogue. <P><B>Excerpts relating to Pogrebishche from<A HREF="RegalWay.htm">The Regal Way: <I>The Life and Times of Rabbi Israel of Ruzhin,</I></B></A> a comprehensive study of the Ruzhiner Rebbe who was born in Pogrebishche, by David Assaf and translated by David Louvish. <P>The book <A HREF="WoodenSynagogues.htm"><B>Wooden Synagogues</B></A> by Maria Piechotka (Arkady, 1959) contains much information about the iconic synagogue found in Pogrebische gathered from multiple other sources in various languages, and compiled in English. <P>In the collection of stories Even Sha'ot by the famous Israeli author Chaim Hazaz, there is a story that mentions Pogrebishche on p.113.
