Summary
| Description |
English: The tombstone of Yossele the Holy Miser found in the Remah Cemetery in the Kazimierz Jewish quarter of Kraków, Poland. According to Jewish folklore, the wealthy Yossele, known as Yossele the Miser, was notorious for his stinginess. Upon his death though, it was discovered that he was in fact the principal source of charity for the Jewish community and he became a venerated figure. According to Jewish bereavement tradition, the dozens of stones on his tombstone mark respect for the Holy Miser. |
