History

Jews lived in Radomysl since the 16th century. After a national liberation war, the Radomyshl kagal was completely devastated and almost disappeared. The second wave of Jewish settlement started in the 18th century. At that time Jews made up the majority of the population of Radomysl.{{cite web |url=https://radomyshl.com.ua/en/historic-sites/156-radomyshl-synagogue-great-beit-hamidrash |title=Radomyshl Synagogue - Great Beit Hamidrash |work=City Museum |date=n.d. |access-date=29 March 2024 }} In 1845, there were seven synagogues in Radomyshl.{{cite web |url=https://jewua.org/radomyshl-2/ |title=Radomyshl |work=History of Jewish communities in Ukraine |date=1 September 2013 |access-date=29 March 2024 }}
