The old Bet Hamidrash was constructed in 1718 within
what was to be known as the synagogue court. In 1742,
Bronicki elevated the village of Bialystok to the status
of a city. Jews were granted equal rights in 1745. In that
same year, Bronicki erected a tower that served as a
detention center for criminals. At the base of this tower
eighty shops were constructed, which Bronicki allocated
for Jewish businessmen. ...Connected nodes
