Mimi..nice pics! Franz Joseph was put there a few yeas ago bu Ukraine,s
current Prime Minister...who(surprise!!) is a Czernowitzer. The other
interesting point is the Hebrew inscription on the poster in the 2nd
children,s room which translates as"Distibution of clothes in
Czernowitz"...NOT Chernivtsi!! Cornel.

Subject: [Cz-L] my latest visit to Czernowitz
In late April I was in Czernowitz for a few days. Despite the ongoing war in
the eastern Ukraine and the economic problems caused by this war, Czernowitz
and nearby villages seems much the same as in the previous few years, if
anything, it seems more prosperous.
In the villages there is much construction of beautiful new houses and in
Czernowitz there are nice new stores, a new hotel on the Ringplatz, and very
good new restaurants. People are well dressed, there are tourists from
within the Ukraine, as well as some from abroad and businessmen from various
other countries seem to have discovered the opportunities available to them.
Rabbi Menahem Mendel Glisnshtain has completely refurbished the synagogue,
so that it now includes a kindergarten, a mikvah and an after-school
facility for kids who's parents are not at home when the kids come home from
school.
I have put the photographs we took in Czernowitz on a Picasaweb album, which
you can access at:
