A smaller Jewish settlement in Přehořov was documented in writing from the beginning of the 17th century. It is unknown when the Jewish community was founded, but it was abolished before 1921, when the Jewish community here became a part of the Jewish community in Soběslav, which at the same time took over the administration of the Přehořov Jewish cemetery. The synagogue, age unknown, was located on the road leading from the village to the north but was demolished in 1960.
The only monument of the local Jewish community is the Jewish cemetery, located 1.5 km southeast of the village on the edge of the forest, north of the road leading from Lžín. It was founded before 1723. The cemetery covers an area of 863 square meters and currently holds about 110 preserved tombstones; the oldest is from the first half of the 19th century, the youngest is from before the Second World War. Only slight remnants are left of the mortuary and the quarry stone wall. The cemetery is freely accessible. There are many Jews from Soběslav buried in the cemetery. A Jewish settlement is documented there from the second half of the 16th century, but in 1594 the Jews were expelled. The Jews moved to Soběslav again in greater numbers after the mid-19th century, coming from nearby villages. The modern Jewish community existed in Soběslav from the 1870’s until the Nazi occupation. In 1880, there were 210 Jews (7.1% of all inhabitants), 128 Jews (3.3%) in 1900, and only 78 Jews (1.8%) in 1930.
The synagogue was allegedly built in 1873 on Jirsíkova Street on the site of an older house. It was a hall building decorated with modest neo-Renaissance decor. A two-story town house stood nearby. It served for worship until the Nazi occupation, then after the war it was used as a warehouse, and in 1959 it was reconstructed for the administrative purposes of the Communal Services of the town of Soběslav. It is presently in private ownership and is used as a workshop. Nowadays, this is a single-storey house without a trace of its former sacral use.
