Dynow once had a glory Jewish community which has been destroyed at world war II. In dwnow was the residence of the great sage rabbi tzvi elimelch shapiro who is also buried in the local Jewish cemetery. Yearly on the anniversary of the tzaddiks passing hundreds of Jews travel from all over the world to pray on the tzaddiks tombstone. Recently the judaism in dynow has started flourishing again when a new hostel building was built for the visitors & a mikvah (ritual bath) which is now used by the local Jews miles around dynow to keep the purity of their family. This all was built & is managed by the great organization "moreshet yahadut polin" you can see more info on their website http://www.moreshetyahadutpolin.org
