Września Wreschen

Wreschen's Jewish community formerly ranked among the largest of southern Prussia, and was one of the congregations which suffered severely during the persecutions of the years 1648-1651.
All early documents were destroyed in the 1873 pogroms, in which the synagogue, an old wooden building, was burned.
Members of the Jewish community:
Rabbi Ẓebi Hirsch b. Aaron Mirels, and his father Rabbi Aaron Mirels (Kaufmann, "Die Letzte Vertreibung der Juden aus Wien und Niederösterreich", pp. 79 et seq., Vienna, 1889), and the Bible commentator Rabbi Meïr Löb Malbim.
Ẓebi Mirels, also called Hirsch Aaron London, was the author of the "Mispar Ẓeba'am", and presented a Hebrew hymn to General Möllendorf when the latter was sent by the Prussian king Frederick William II. to receive the allegiance of the new province of southern Prussia ("Das Jahr 1793", p. 16, note, Posen, 1895).
Rabbi Aaron Mirels, the author of the "Bet Aharon", is buried in the cemetery at Hirschberg in Silesia.
Rabbi Meïr Löb Malbim wrote his first work, the collection of annotations on the first chapters of the Shulḥan 'Aruk, Oraḥ Ḥayyim, in Wreschen.
