M. Kroyt; in 1909, Afeldman; and in 1909, M.<br />

Feiferman and Afeldman."<br />

Luboml-Libivne: The Town's Jewish Name<br />

As in many towns in Poland, the Jews of this<br />

Volhynian settlement gave a Yiddish name to<br />

their home.<br />

The official name of the town was Luboml. In<br />

olden times the town was called Lubomle, and in<br />

a document from 1562 it is called Libomla." In<br />

rabbinic literature, especially in the older works,<br />

the town was mainly known as Lubomla (very<br />

often reversed as Lubelma or Lubleme). But in the<br />

language of the people it was entirely Yiddishized<br />

to Libivne.<br />

The name Libivne was used not only during<br />

the last three or four decades of the<br />

community's existence, but for a long time<br />

before. Some 200 years ago, the name Libivne<br />

(or Libavne, Libivna) is found in a rabbinic<br />

text. In his endorsements of the books<br />

Margaliyot HaTorah and Damesek Eliezer,<br />

Aron-Yoel ben Dovid identifies himself as<br />

"head of the Rabbinical Court of Libavna." If a<br />

local rabbi already used the name Libivne in<br />

1782, then it is clear that the local Jews used<br />

that name even before that, perhaps 250-300<br />

years ago.<br />

A second rabbinic texta much later onethe<br />

Likutei Tsvi of Tsvi Hersh from Yanova<br />

(Pietrokov, 1909), includes an endorsement by the<br />

"Dayyan [Judge] and Moreh Tzedek [Righteous<br />

Teacher] of the Community of Libivne."<br />

There has been at times great confusion around<br />

the name Libivne-Luboml, and at other times it is<br />

just a curiosity.<br />

The renowned rabbi of Lemberg, R. Yosef-<br />

Shaul Natanson, in his notes on the book Tiv<br />

Gitin, which discusses the names of towns, wrote<br />

about Luboml that "it seems that it is today called<br />

Lublin, and I remember H] that many old books<br />

call the city of Lublin Lubomla [Luboml]." Even<br />

a rabbi from Lemberg, which, after all, was located<br />

not all that far from Luboml, confused it<br />

with Lublin.'<br />

Rabbi H. N. Dembitzer, a great expert on<br />

rabbinic genealogy, pokes fun of R. Yosef-Shaul
