Dear all,
Jewish Heritage Europe reports as follows:
The carved and painted wooden Aron ha Kodesh (Ark) from the historic Great Synagogue in Siret, Romania has been dismantled and taken to Israel, where it will be sold at auction on February 20.
In its auction advertisement, the Moreshet auction house in Jerusalem calls the Ark a “museum-worthy item of extreme historic value” that dates from the early 19th century — and sets the opening bid at $35,000.
The Moreshet web page says that the Ark was recently dismantled “in a complex operation and after great efforts” but does not say who carried out its removal from the synagogue. Nor does it give specifics about the seller.

Best wishes,
