Rabbi Joel (Yoel) TEITELBAUM was appointed Rabbi of Irshava 1911-1914 and again, 1922-1926.
Rabbi Shabsi LIPSHITZ, author of Sefer Bris Avos, served as Rosh Beis Din (Chief Religious Judge) in Irshava 5667-5689 (1907-1929).
Many of the young were members of the Zionist youth movements, such as Hashomer Hatzair, Betar, Tze'irei Mizrachi and others. By 1941, Irshava had a synagogue, mikva, cemetery and a cheder (religious school).

~ Irshava Cemetery ~
Jewish families that lived in Irshava, and possibly other nearby villages, used the Irshava cemetery as the final resting place for their loved ones.
The cemetery is located outside of town, along the road. It has a wall built around it and the neighbor has the key to the door. The cemetery contains an ohel (mausoleum). Older burials are at the top of the hill.
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.
