Re: [Cz-L] czernowitz today

Cornel, Jerry,
  The current Jewish population are :
   Old , sick , poor and in their vast majority not of the German speaking
stock.
     The younger generation left .
    Their involvement in jewish activities is very poor.
      In the Temple, Museum, Cemetery ,Popovici issues we did not hear their
voice.
        As if jewish Czernowitz conservation was not of their concern.
       The" very active " Brauhausgasse Synagogue can hardly manage to scrap
        together a Mynyan. I know this first hand.
        The Jewish life concentrates on the Habad and Or Haner who do
welfare work.
        When we alerted them on the found jewish gravestones on the
Turkengasse
          excavation ,until somebody went to look, the stones were thrown
away.
          This is my impression.
            I wish I was wrong.
