has abstract: Former Polish royal town, now in the province of Lublin. According to local tradition, the Jews of Chełm (Yid., Khelem) were granted their first privilege by King Władisław Jagiełło, though tombstones once thought to be from the fifteenth century are now considered of a later date. Hence, while earlier settlement is very probable, a Jewish community is known to have been in Chełm from the beginning of the sixteenth century; a synagogue functioned in 1580. @en
