Who was the Rabbi of the Lesko Poland synagogue before the Nazis invaded?

Answer 1

THE HEAD RABBI IN LESKO, ALSO THE MOST RESPECTED RABBI IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY OF Poland, WAS LOCATED IN LESKO, POLAND, AND WAS THE RABBI IN THEIR SYNAGOGUE, BEFORE THE NAZI'S INVADED. HIS NAME WAS, RABBI ABRAHAM GRANIK. WHAT I DO NOT KNOW, IS HOW MANY SYNAGOGUES THERE WAS, AT THAT TIME, IN LESKO, SINCE RABBI GRANIK, WAS ORTHODOX. THEREFORE, IF THERE WAS ONLY ONE SYNAGOGUE, HE WAS THE ONE AND ONLY RABBI, AT THE TIME, AND HE WAS ALSO THE MOHEL (SP?) AND ALSO SOMETHING ELSE, THAT WAS VERY "UNIQUE", FOR THE TIME PERIOD IN 1939 AND THE SITUATION IN POLAND - THAT HE WAS ALSO THE APPOINTED "REPRESENTATIVE" FOR JEWISH COMMUNITY, ON THE CITY COUNSIL, FOR THE CITY OF LESKO. LASTLY, HE ALSO HELD THE JEWISH VERSION OF "A COURT HEARING" IN HIS APARTMENT, FOR THE ENTIRE JEWISH COMMUNITY. I BELIEVE THE ONE, VERY BEAUTIFUL SYNAGOGUE, IN LESKO POLAND, WAS A CONSERVATIVE OR REFORM SYNANGOGUE, AND IF THAT IS THE CASE, HE WAS THE RABBI OF THE ONE ORTHODOX SYNAGOGUE. HOPEFULLY, SOMEBODY ELSE HAS SOME ADDITONAL INFORMATION ON THIS VERY INTERESTING TOWN/CITY OF LESKO, POLAND. THERE WERE TWO "2" SYNAGOGUES IN LESKO, POLAND, BEFORE THE NAZIS INVADED. I KNOW THE RABBI AT ONE OF THE SYNAGOGUES WAS RABBI ABRAHAM GRANIK. I KNOW THAT HE ALSO HELD OUR VERSION OF "COURT" IN HIS APARTMENT, AND THAT HE WAS THE VERY FIRST "1ST." JEWISH PERSON, TO HAVE HELD A SEAT ON THE LESKO, CITY COUNSEL, REPRESENTING THE JEWISH COMMUNITY. HIS MANY, HIGH VERY ACCOMPLISHMENTS, TOGETHER WITH THE HIGH RESPECT, HE HAD EARNED FROM BOTH THE JEWISH AND THE NON-JEWISH COMMUNITY, NOT JUST IN LESKO, BUT THROUGHOUT POLAND, ALSO PROBABLY LED TO HIS BEING ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE, AND HIS FAMILY, BEING ONE OF THE FIRST FAMILIES, KILLED BY THE NAZIES, WHEN THEY FIRST INVADED LESKO. I HAS NEVER BEEN "CONFIRMED" WHERE, OR WHEN, BY WHAT MEANS, OR ON WHAT DATE, DID HE AND HIS FAMILY DIE, SINCE MANY IN LESKO THAT DAY THAT THE NAZIS INVADED, SAW IT DIFFERENTLY OR JUST REMEMBER IT DIFFERENTLY. IF ANYONE WAS ALIVE THEN, AND WITNESSED WHAT HAPPENED, OR IF ANYONE, OR THEIR RELATIVES, HAS FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE, PLEASE PASS IT ALONG.
