One of the main and most visited places for Jews was the synagogue. At that time, the famous Rabbi Elijachu Dovid Rabinovich worked and lived in Panev\u0117\u017eys. He was born into a religious Jewish family and graduated from Hedori and Yeshiva. He is buried in Jerusalem at the Mount of Olives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On February 14, 2023, the great-great-grandson of this famous rabbi, Rabbi Reuven Yeshua Koehn, visited Panev\u0117\u017eys and presented a large portrait of his great-great-grandfather to the Jewish community of Panev\u0117\u017eys. Then a meeting was held with the mayor of Panev\u0117\u017eys Rytis Ra\u010dkauskas and the director of administration Tomas Jukna. The guests presented the project currently being implemented: Lithuanian Jewish Heritage Center is being built in Israel, where Lithuanian cities, including Panev\u0117\u017eys, will be presented in separate exhibitions. In this center, Israeli Jews will be able to learn more about Panev\u0117\u017eys, and if they are interested in the city, they can also visit it. Possibilities of cooperation with the city of Panev\u0117\u017eys were discussed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;It&#8217;s nice to see you as a guest with beautiful ideas and an interesting proposal for cooperation. There are many Jewish heritage sites in Panev\u0117\u017eys, so this project may be of interest to Jews from all over the world. It&#8217;s a great idea to develop a Jewish heritage tourism route in Panev\u0117\u017eys,&#8221; said Panev\u0117\u017eys Mayor Rytis Ra\u010dkauskas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After the visit to the municipality, the guests visited the Panev\u0117\u017eys Local History Museum to get acquainted with the surviving Jewish heritage in the city and to discuss the possibilities of cooperation. Yeshiva students are planning to come to Panev\u0117\u017eys in April.<\/p>\n<div id=\"kad-wp-gallery11\" class=\"kad-wp-gallery init-isotope kad-light-wp-gallery clearfix rowtight\" data-fade-in=\"1\" data-iso-selector=\".g_item\" data-iso-style=\"masonry\" data-iso-filter=\"false\"><div class=\"tcol-lg-4 tcol-md-4 tcol-sm-4 tcol-xs-6 tcol-ss-12 g_item\"><div class=\"grid_item kt_item_fade_in kad_gallery_fade_in gallery_item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gvf.lt\/en\/files\/2023\/02\/20230213_172548.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[pp_gal]\" class=\"lightboxhover\">\r\n                          <img src=\"https:\/\/gvf.lt\/en\/files\/2023\/02\/20230213_172548-366x275.jpg\" width=\"366\" height=\"366\" alt=\"\" class=\"light-dropshaddow\"\/><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tcol-lg-4 tcol-md-4 tcol-sm-4 tcol-xs-6 tcol-ss-12 g_item\"><div class=\"grid_item kt_item_fade_in kad_gallery_fade_in gallery_item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gvf.lt\/en\/files\/2023\/02\/20230213_172620.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[pp_gal]\" class=\"lightboxhover\">\r\n                          <img src=\"https:\/\/gvf.lt\/en\/files\/2023\/02\/20230213_172620-366x275.jpg\" width=\"366\" height=\"366\" alt=\"\" class=\"light-dropshaddow\"\/><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tcol-lg-4 tcol-md-4 tcol-sm-4 tcol-xs-6 tcol-ss-12 g_item\"><div class=\"grid_item kt_item_fade_in kad_gallery_fade_in gallery_item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gvf.lt\/en\/files\/2023\/02\/20230214_111208.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[pp_gal]\" class=\"lightboxhover\">\r\n                          <img src=\"https:\/\/gvf.lt\/en\/files\/2023\/02\/20230214_111208-366x275.jpg\" width=\"366\" height=\"366\" alt=\"\" class=\"light-dropshaddow\"\/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From 1871-1891, 5 synagogues operated in Panev\u0117\u017eys city and there was a large Jewish community.
