Re: [Cz-L] The Temple - Past-Present-Future

Thank you very much for your translation. It is a great help.
Can you tell us from this article, whether Myhaylishyn is still
acting mayor and whether currently the Tempel building belongs to the
city or to the district?

Serah, you have a good point in that when the city is trying to
attract Jewish tourists,
it would be against their own interests to sell the building to a
private owner,
who might use the building for any purpose he wants and possibly
would use it for a purpose
which would be insulting to Jewish sensibilities.
