Subject: Re: [Cz-L] The situation in CZ
I was in Czernowitz last week and prayed one morning in the now only
functioning synagogue, led by Rabbi Mendel Glitzenstein, at Sadovskogo
Street b. 11. I got into conversation with one of the regulars there who
told me how difficult things are economically. His wife works away from home
on a 12 hour on / 12 off shift job. He is working part time and looking
after their children. He hopes to get full time employment soon in
Czernowitz so that his wife can come home. No, I did not ask why she is away
or in any other way pry. I simply put my hand in my pocket and gave him a
reasonable sum of money. He was overwhelmed and didn't want to accept it.
Sylvia asks "Is there anything we can do to help?". Frankly that is what can
be done. Send whatever money you can. I have met Rabbi Glitzenstein several
times and believe he is honest and highly devoted to the Jews of Czernowitz.
He can be reached at chabadcv_at_gmail.com. His communal complex houses, aside
of the synagogue, a kindergarten, a school and a kitchen that provides hot
meals. I know that he also distributes clothing several times a year and
helps children in the public schools to get on in life through after school
groups.
I am not a member of the Chabad group and sometimes find them a little pushy
but I believe that Rabbi Mendel is a very special person whose commitment
and drive are quite outstanding.
