Re: [Cz-L] 600th celebrations

Hi Cornel,
  As for now ,the official letter of Mr Kylynych as it appears on the Cz-L ,
calls for " interesting facts,
old photos and suggestions " . The word " Jewish "or " invitation " do not
appear.
   You want an official invitation ? What for ? To take part in an official,
festive reception , where
   Mr Kylynych will kiss you on the cheeks and award you with a medal and a
ribbon ?
       This is what you need ?
     You speak of old time co-existence: The Magen David at the Residenz.
   How can this compare to what is going on today : Take the Temple -
instead of leaving it deserted
  for absence of believers - they bring the best of movies , hold Schmatte
sales just to fill the place.
   Even at our High Holidays was the Temple not so full as when they
screened the latest Harry Potter flick !
      And the gravestones - instead of leaving them deserted in some
forgotten Zwinter, they place them
       on much used steps , where hundreds of people pass daily.
           This I call concern .
              What more do you need ?

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 and
representative group of us ought to be invited to be there and take 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 magen
david together with the cross on an archbishops residence...and without the
jewish contribution the town would not have grown and prospered as it did.
