Stratyn

Stratyn (Ukrainian: Стратин, Yiddish: סטרעטין Stretin) is a village and rural municipality in western Ukraine.

Prior to this order, Stratyn had just 373 inhabitants (1921) and at the time was the smallest town in the entire Ivano-Frankivsk (Stanislawow) province.

At the Jewish cemetery of Startyn there is a grave chapel of Stratyn tsaddik, of so-called Strettener Chasids.

Chapel was erected quite recently with efforts being led by R Aharon Yakov Brandwein the previous stretiner Rebba of Borough Park.

In the adjacent table, it is written in Ukrainian to the local village people to honour the place of Jewish righteous zaddiks who will pray for you.

To restore these grave monuments of Hassidic tsaddiks, it took much efforts and diligence,[citation needed] as they were deep underneath in the ground already.
