Dashev, Ukraine History
Jews
were present in Dashev beginning in the 18th
century. Rabbi Shmuel Izik of Dashev was a student
of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov (1772-1810), the founder
of the Breslov Hasidic movement. By 1880, the Jewish
population of Dashev (2,911) was over 50 percent of
the total population. However, major pogroms in 1917
and 1919 reduced that population to just under 1,000
people in 1939. By the end of World War II, most of
these residents had been killed, and no Jews live in
Dashev today.
