The synagogue bore the name of its rector Solomon ben Jechiel "MahaRSchaL" (1510-1573), and the same building housed a second, smaller synagogue named after Meir ben Gedalia.

At present, the old Jewish cemetery in ul.Kalinowszczyzna covers an area of about 1 hectare. Of the 3,000 gravestones, which were densely arranged over the entire area of the hill, only about 60 have survived to this day. However, there are still many gravestones of people who were particularly meritorious for the Jewish community in Lublin. The Matzewa of the learned Talmudist Jaakov Kopelman, who died in 1541, is the oldest Jewish tombstone in Poland and stands in its original place.

The only Jewish prayer house of once over 100 that was not destroyed by the Germans during the war also marked the border with the ghetto, which began on the right side of the street. The fact that the prayer house was located outside the ghetto probably saved it from destruction.

Because the minimum number of ten adult males (13 years of age completed) in the religious sense is no longer reached, which is required for a service, no services are held here today.

At the end of the 19th century, almost all German student fraternities no longer accepted Jews. Jewish fraternities were founded. "Fearless and faithful!" was the motto of the Berlin fraternity Sprevia, founded in 1894. Two years later it joined the "Kartell-Convent deutscher Studenten jüdischen Glaubens" (KC). The KC summarized its goals as follows: "The fraternities of the KC stand on the ground of German patriotic sentiment.

Jakob Herz (1748-1819) from Dietelsheim was the first Jewish owner. He was a cattle dealer and butcher as well as the circumciser (mohel) of the Jewish community. He established the Herz family foundation with 2200 gulden capital. He died childless in 1819 and his niece Fromet Herz took over the house with her husband Herz Judas Grabenheimer (1792-1833). After his death, the house fell to the horse dealer Jakob Herz in 1833, who moved to Mannheim in 1873. From 1873 to 1875, Salomon Herz was the owner.

In 1760, the cattle trader Abraham Gideon (1727-1796) from Nordstetten came to Hochberg as the first Schutzjude. In 1772 the Jewish community of Hochberg was founded and Abraham became the first head of the Jewish community. In 1777 he bought the former official house at Hauptstr. 13 from the cooper Wartinger, which Wartinger had in turn purchased in 1759. This marked the beginning of the determined acquisition of real estate by Jewish families in the former Vordere Gasse (today Hauptstraße).
