Chornotysiv had about 200 Jewish inhabitants at one time. It had a synagogue, shochet (ritual slaughterer), mikvah (ritual bath) and a cemetery.
Among the important persons of the community in recent times were Rabbi Leib SPITZ, Rabbi Shmuel ROPFELD and Rabbi Shuel SPIEGEL.
Dov DANTZIGER, who was a notary in the area, lived here.

~ Chornotysiv Cemetery ~
Jewish families that lived in Chornotysiv, and possibly other nearby villages, used the Chornotysiv cemetery as the final resting place for their loved ones.
The Jewish cemetery is located outside of town, along a road. It has fence built around it and is not 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.
Following are all of the tombstones found in the cemetery.
