Jedwabne [IPA-pl|j|e|d|'|w|a|b|n|e] is a town in Poland, in the Podlaskie Voivodeship, in Łomża County, with 1,942 inhabitants (2002).

First mentioned in 1455, Jedwabne received its town rights in 1736. During the years 1939-1941 under Soviet occupation, some of local people were arrested or deported to Siberia, a priest Ryszard Marian Szumowski was killed by the Soviets in July 1941. The town was the site of Jedwabne pogrom during World War II.

The Jedwabne synagogue, built in 1770, was an especially fine example of the unique Polish Jewish architectural tradition of building large, domed, Wooden synagogues.

Emigrants from Jedwabne built the synagogue Congregation Anshe Yedwabne at 242 Henry Street in the Lower East Side neighborhood of New York City. [ Yedwabne Yizkor Book [http://www.radzilow.com/jedwabne-yizkor.htm#synagogue] ]
