Narewka Gravestone of Rabbi Shlomo Moshe Barelkowsi Photo Courtesy of  Joy Kestenbaum 2010 This gravestone of Shlomo Moshe Barelkowski can be found in Narewka's Jewish Cemetery. According to the inscription (see translation below, contributed by David Feldman), Barelkowski had served as a rabbi in Narewka for many years and, although he is the subject of a testimony submitted to Yad Vashem's Central Database of Shoah Victims' Names, Barelkowski died in 1933, a few years before the beginning of World War II and the German invasion of Eastern Poland (Russia). He also appears on the Grodno Gubernia 1912 Voters List (Narewka). Here lies the learned and humble rabbi; Shlomo Moshe Barilkovski the son of Shmaryahu. Died the first day of Sukkot - 15th of Tishrei 5694 - Oct. 5th, 1933. He led our community for 36 years.
