[Cz-L] A Czernowitzers meeting in Israel

In response to all who have written that they like the idea of having a
Czernowitzers meeting in Israel:

I know that the Organization of Bukowina Jews, regularly holds meetings in
Israel. A Czernowitzers meeting is not meant to replace or supplant this.
I do not know how many of you are interested in a Czernowitzers meeting and
what various people expect the program to be, or when and for how long we
should meet.

I think it would be best if all who are interested answer the following
questions:

1. Are you interested in a "Czernowitzers" meeting which would take place
   in Israel in the winter of 2006?
2. Would you like the meeting to last:
   a) 3 days
   b) a shorter time, how long?
   c) a longer time, how long?
3. Please suggest activities for inclusion in the program.
4. Where in Israel would you like the meeting to be held?
   Please be specific.
5. How inclusive, or exclusive would you like this meeting to be?
   a) Shall journalists and photographers be admitted?
   b) Shall admittance be limited to Jewish Czernowitzers, their
      descendants and family members?
6. Who shall have the copyright to any material presented at the meeting?

Personally, I would like the meeting to last 2 - 3 days.
Preferably on or about the 3rd, 4th and 5th of December 2006.
This is before Chanukah and Christmas vacations and before
the price of airline tickets and hotel rooms goes up.
I do not know whether to have the meeting on a Saturday or not.
If we do, observant people will not be able to attend, if we do not,
 working people may not be able to attend.

I would like the program to include talks and discussions about various
topics related to Jewish Czernowitz, possibly an exhibition of Czernowitz
memorabilia and an exhibition of Czernowitz maps and photographs. Also an
exhibition of Czernowitz-related books in print.

On the lighter side, I would welcome an evening of Czernowitz anecdotes and
jokes, if possible also a joint meal of Czernowitz style food.

I suggest that this meeting not involve any joint travel arrangements and or
hotel bookings.

It would be best if the answers to the above set of questions would be sent
to the whole list. I am willing to tabulate the results.

Greetings to all,
