Re: [Cz-L] Visit to Bukovina, Moldavia and Moldova - in 2012

Hi Merle -

I am committed to returning to Vahkivtsi in 2012, so we may be crossing
paths.

Vashkivtsi (Vashkovitz) is about 45 minutes away, half-way between
Czernowitz and Wiznitz, which is also worth visiting to see the
relatively well-preserved (compared to Sadagora) buidlings, including
the only Yeshiva in the Bukovina, the Wiznitzer Rebbe's house, and the
mikve above the town that according to local legend was used by the
Baal Shem Tov. If you decide to include a stop in Wiznitz I can give
you contact information for Alexander Tausher, who lives there,
oversees Jewish landmarks in Vyzhnytsia raion and was of great help to
us in undertaking our Vashkivtsi cemetery clean-up.

Best regards, Mark
