Bobowa is in Poland 52 miles ESE of Krakow. The Jewish community in Bobowa is first documented in 1765 although Jews probably came to the city before that time. Bobowa was the center of the Bobov Hassidic dynasty established by Rabbi Shlomo Halberstam. He maintained a yeshiva in Bobowa called "Etz Hayim" (the tree of life).
