Shul of the Rabbi of Chernivtsy Menachem Glisnshtain

From Nesanel [Neil] Peterman who writes:

[…] Some pictures I took of the new Shul of the Rabbi of Chernivtsy Menachem Glisnshtain, located at Mykola Sadovs’kyy 11, January and June 2012 which I think might be of interest to the Ephes collection. The Jewish community of the town is growing as a fullfillment of the legacy of the past.

Yehiel, the “Gabbe” in Rabbi Koyfmansky’s “Shil”!

This is Yehiel, the “gabbe” in Rabbi Koyfmansky’s “shil”. The watercolor was made by Valentin Bukovinets from Nefteyugansk, based on my photo, released at “Three Walks Through Czernowitz – Ten Years Ago Today!”; see more “Czernowitz Watercolors by Valentin Bukovinets”! Thank you, Valentin, for your creative artwork!
