Brockhaus-Efron (regular) Encyclopedia  Zaslavl  - Zaslavl was in the times of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth a town in the Volhynia

Voivodeship, Kremenets District. During the Khmelnitsky era, a significant Jewish community already existed here. When the Cossacks

and Tatars besieged Polonnai, according to Nathan Hanover (see), Jews fled from Z. A part of them went to Ostrog and Mezhyrych

(among them Hanover). After taking Polonny they left these cities and went together with the Jews of Ostrog to Dubno. The Cossacks

defeated Z. and massacred up to 200 Jews (sick and fugitives from the nearby woods), who asked to be put to death in the Jewish cemetery;

the Jews were put together in the cemetery building and put to death there, and the synagogue was ruined and turned into stables. As

elsewhere in Volyn, the community of Z. later revived and in the 18th century was quite significant. In 1708 it was subjected to a

new destruction by the Cossack troops.  According to the census of 1765, there were 2,047 Jews in the Old Town, 760 in the New Town, 100

in the municipality of Bilogródek and in neighboring villages 984. In the entire Kahal, therefore, 3,891 Jews. Among

the rabbis of the 18th century David Tevle is especially famous.
