Yampil or Yampol (Ukrainian: Ямпіль; Russian: Ямполь; Yiddish: יאמפאלא; Old Polish: Jampol)[1] is a rural settlement in Shepetivka Raion, Khmelnytskyi Oblast, western Ukraine.

[6] The city is located along Horyn River, a tributary of the Pripyat, and is part of the Podolsk Plateau [uk], while straddling the border with Lesser Polissia.

On January 30, 1535, Nobleman Hrytsko and Roman Senyuty [uk] sold the Tykhomel settlement [ru], which encompassed modern-day Yampil, to Prince Janusz, Bishop of Vilnius, for either 150 Lithuanian kopa or 460 silver rubles.

[11] In an interview with the USC Shoah Foundation, Jewish former resident of Yampol Ida Kritman recounted the settlement's invasion by the Nazis.

Yampilese Jews stayed in the Bilohiria Ghetto until June 27th, 1942, when they were evacuated by the Nazis, taken to nearby woodland area, and shot, most likely by the Einsatzgruppen.

Similarly, the "Noda Bihuda" (Rabbi Yechezkel Landau) served as Rav in the town, before moving to Prague.

(The Ohalim over the graves of Rabbi Michel's masters, the "Baal Shem Tov" and "Magid Of Mezritch", were built years later.)

In 2002 the foundation of the original "Ohel" was discovered by the current Yampola'r Rabbi, and a new building was built over the grave sites, which attracts thousands of visitors each year, especially during the summer months; a modern four-star hotel, named "Promenade", was built next to the old cemetery to accommodate the thousands of visitors.
