Re: [Cz-L] Vama

My grandfather, Rabbi Josef Rubin, Rabbi of Campulung from 1923-1941, was the rabbi of
Vama as well as it fell under the jurisdiction of Campulung community.
In 1939, his son (my uncle) Dr. Schmelke Rubin began functioning as the
Rabb in Vama and would spend Sabbath and the holidays there, this lasted only for a year or two before they fled to Bucharest

Subject: [Cz-L] Vama

Just a couple of miles west of Vama is the small village of Prisaca Dornei,
Eisenau in German, where my family ran the village store, and which Arthur
and Greta Rindner and I visited at the time of the Reunion in 2006.

If you continue west you get to Campulung (Kimpulung), and then in due
course to Vatra Dornei (Dorna Watra), a handsome spa town in Austrian times.

If you continue further west the road climbs to the Borgo pass, beyond which
lies Bistrita, one of the "Seven Towns" (Siebenburgen) of Transylvania. The
fictional site of Dracula's castle was near to the pass. However, this is a
long way from Vama!
