re:[CZ-L]Assistance Request - Synagogue Architecture of Bessarabia!?

Shalom to all specially to Edgar.

Please give to Anastasia Moscaliuc my email. I took together with cousin
Harriet Kasow when we both visited Chernivtsi and its Bukovinian Bessarabian
Shteitels (May-June2010), some interesting photos of an ongoing restoration
project of a Bessarabian Synagogue in the town of
Novoseltzia (South-East of Chernivtsi).

I believe that group member Yossi Jerry Eshet also has some pictures of this
interesting restoration project.

What is most interesting is that this restoration project is being carried
out by a group of students from the Faculty of Art at the University of
Chernivtsi. These students are slowly scraping off the paint job carried out
during the Russian occupation period when the synagogue was turned into a
recreation
club for WWII veterans. Underneath this paint they are uncovering beautiful
fresco paintings.
The main motive being the 12 Tribes of Israel, similar paintings can be
seen in other synagogues.

We noticed nearly exact copies at the synagogue we visited on Shabbat in
Chernivtsi.

Maybe after Mimi unwinds from her recent trip to Chernivtsi, will be able to
help Anastasia to
connect with the art students of Chernivtsi University concerning her
research project.

All the best,
Aizic Sechter
Rishon Le Zion, Israel
