RE: [Cz-L] now!!

Dear Cornel

The situation is not improving, it's only adjusting with the times. Jewish people you met and talked are not different from the one I met in the Baltic republics while visiting with a group of Jewish educators from US. 
Elderly and fragile,  who missed the boat and live on a meager pension and depend on the subsidy  from Khesed, who's children left for Israel and other countries, people in mixed marriages, who can not leave because of their families, people, who for generations lived as non-Jews and suddenly being a Jew became a benefit and lets not forget the ones who still cling to the "Pot of Meat" -Sir Habasar  in Hebrew. Now all of them together are about 1500 people. As for the Jewish school, wouldn't any town anywhere like to have a great school supported with outside money? So it's a jewish school. For now As for Holidays in Chabbad? food and entertainment. Free. For now.  
In the past I enjoyed many of your posts. Even ate your favorite food in Vienna.

But don't full yourself. The antisemites are well and living in Ukraine. Last time I looked Czernowitz was also in Ukraine.
Nobody you met would tell you the truth. You were an outsider. They have to live there. We were taught that the listening devices are everywhere and you do not trust anybody. It's not worth to loose your life or freedom. 
Sorry to disillusion you.  
I know you have a big heart and you wish to believe in the changes and so would I,  however ............
Best to you too
Channa
