Aw: RE: [Cz-L] The Sadagora Synagogue news

Dear all,

Cornel is right. The restoration works started about three years ago. A new roof was set up and parts of the facade were cleaned. Last year I saw that the works were interrupted. We asked the guard who is still there and he told us that there were disagreements between the Hasidim and the local authorities about taxes. I imagine the solution they found now is to form an organization that is exempt from taxes and is now the legal owner of the former synagogue and residence of the Friedman family. If this would be confirmed, it will be a step in the right direction, as Cornel said. I will be there in April and August and will see what I can find out.

I have doubts Sadacora will be a second Uman, but there are already two new hotels in the town.

Best wishes
Christian

Serah,no,it is not being turned into a church!!! It is being restored by
followers of the Rebbe Friedman and the Chasidic dynasty he founded.The work
started bit by bit several years ago..there are pics on the Ehpes site,and
to have the Ukrainian authorities handing ownership to the Jewish community
is only to be seen as a very admirable step in the right direction.
Cornel PS I still have 7 walnuts off a tree that I was told was planted
by the Friedmans...got them on my last visit!!
