Re: [Cz-L] The fate of the Tempel .

Let us speak practical.
  Bringing the Temple to its current condition was a costly
affair , restoring it to the original even more so.
  A six digit sum in USD.
  From where is the money to come ?
     The City ? They didnt pay for the Popovici plate nor for
 cleaning of the cemetery - ridicule sums in comparison.
  Most of memorial plates and monuments pn Cz. are donations.
   Convincing the city of the benefits it would reap from such an
   investment needs a very skilled salesman.
    I do not expect the city to restore the Temple.
     Just let them get out.
    With the ice cream, the popcorn and the Shmattes.
  Leave the Schmidt memory plate. This is the only jewish trace left.
    An empty Temple is much better than the present condition.

Regarding the Temple it should not mater that there are not enough Jews to
be served by it.

A token to the Jews who once inhabited Czernowitz who were creative in
building a beautifull
city with all the acoutrements of a metropolis with culture and commerce
allbeit a miniature compared to
the large cities. There was a very good reason for Czernowitz to be thought
of la Petit Vienne

I think the Temple should be restored to its former glory. I was a most
beautifull architecturally designed
building. Its position uniquely visible.

The city should consider that in modern days most cities architecture look
like ice cube boxes the samenes to obvious. A restored Temple could add to
the prestige of the city and the Ukraine that they care and that it will
be a drawing card for tourism. Spain and Portugal who got rid of the Jews a
few hundert years ago are feverishly restoring the old Jewish quarters.
Maybe some bright convincing spark may stir the city to think a memorial to
its defunct citizen may be of mutual benefit.
Consider the restoration of the cemetery it was tried and now the rewarding
restoration.
Of course I would not hold my breath old hatreds die hard but one could
hope.
