• EDUCATION – The first Jewish school in Koszyce was established along with the creation of a religious community in the late nineteenth century. In the source texts cheder was being replaced along with the rise of the house of prayer, mikvah and the cemetery. This gives the opportunity to believe that the Jewish children in Koszyce were provided with education from the age of five, when they also began to attend the Cheder. The best teacher among many in the community was Mordechai Ehrlich called Mordechai Melamed. In his home he taught many generations of children. Other teachers settled in Koszyce and stayed for only a year or two. In the first half of the 1920s Michael Singer came from Israel to the village, he was an outstanding expert in the Hebrew language. He settled in Koszyce together with his family. He taught Judaism and Hebrew. His students studied the Bible and acquired the knowledge in general subjects. Children over the age of seven attended the Polish primary schools each morning and in the afternoons they would go to the Cheder. There was no secondary school in the town, so the Jewish students who wanted to continue their education had to go to the county town .[1.1]
• LIBRARY – In Koszyce there was the Jewish library under the auspices of Solomon James Abramovich .[1.2] The Collections were large and consisted of approximately 2,000 volumes in Yiddish, Hebrew and Polish. It was built thanks to the company educational-cultural society acting in the village. Their only source of income was the membership fees. This resulted in a continuous lack of money and a poor financial condition of such establishments. Another problem was the lack of Library Law, which released the state authorities of concern for the library’s maintenance. There was no one to give the money to maintain such facilities; most of the Jews were involved in traffic emigration to Palestine, this occupied most of their attention. Therefore, some libraries and cultural centers were closed down in 1938; the same happened to the library in Szczekociny, Koszyce and Działoszyce .[1.3]
