RE: [Cz-L] 600th celebrations

Hi, I very much agree with most of what has been said but....there is =
one proposal missing. If the politicians can be persuaded then a large =

part in the celebrations. Czernowitz owes a large part of its history to =
our ancestors,which used to be acknowledged. Where else do you find the =

without the jewish contribution the town would not have grown and =
prospered as it did. Shana tova vmetuka l'kulam cornel.

Dear all,

I am following your communication regarding the 600th celebrations and =
the
preservation of Jewish sites in Czernowitz.
I feel like some of you that the best?/only? way to deal with the issue =
is
through politicians putting pressure on the City leaders (especially =
that
such local leadership is usually temporary and the issues we are trying =
to
deal with are more "permanent"). With some "connections" which I have I
contacted the Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel as well as people in the
Ukrainian Foreign Ministry in Kiev and am awaiting their preliminary
response. If such positive response arrives (which I think will be the =
case)
a clearer list of requests will have to be put forward. Many of you are
definitely more qualified then me (an Israeli-born member of a large =
family
 from Bukovina) to prepare such a wish list. I hope some of you will be =
ready
to think together about these wishes. Some of these, which might involve =

need for resources, could also be put forward seeking support from =
various
prominent donors.
