Tykocin
Tykocin (Yiddish Tiktin), a town in the Podlasie region of northeastern Poland, was for centuries the leading Jewish community of Podlasie. Jews settled there from 1522, and its imposing fortified synagogue, built in 1642, was among the largest in the country; the community supported a notable rabbinate and produced rabbis and scholars known by the surname Tiktiner.
