Like in some other places of Volhynia and Podolia, the Jews of Iziaslav told that “about 600 years ago, children played on the top of the mountain in the Old Town, and when they dug, they found the Old [i.e., the Great] Synagogue; it was then repaired, improved, and rebuilt.” (Israel Fogel, “Zaslav (Iziaslavl),” Yalkut vohlin 7 (1947): 6).
