The story hidden behind
the home
A mezuzah containing a scroll was found in the workshop of a bookbinder at 18 Rewolucji 1905 Street. The owner of the workshop would prefer it to remain in its original place. She explained: „The mezuzah has grown into this place and having found out what it is, I would feel inexplicably sad if it were to be gone.” The Rabbi Remuh of Kraków predicted such a case 500 years ago. He decreed that if to removal of mezuzahs would be received by the new tenants as an expression of lack of confidence in them, they should be left there in the same place the name of preserving good relations between Jews and non-Jews. Now the current owner of the workshop is responsible for the mezuzah. In the building on 18 Południowa there was a prayer house since 1893.
