4. I Guess It Will Make A Nice Museum - Renovation work begins on medieval Polish synagogue | Jewish Features | Jerusalem Post. In 2005, while on the March of the Living, I was in some synagogues in Poland - all of which (other than the Nozyck Synagogue in Warsaw) were nothing more than museums - a bitter reminder of the extermination of Poland's Jews and the fact that Poland today is almost completely "Jew-less" - from a 1939 Jewish population of about 3,000,000, there are now, some 70 years later, less than 5,000 Jews. That means that for every 600 Jews in Poland in 1939, there is now 1 single, solitary Jew. That is the epitome of genocide and ethnic cleansing.

You are right, most synagogues in Poland are glorifed Museums, open to the public,mostly to Jewish tourists who want to pray, for a fee, Nearby there are Jewish style restaurants, Klezmer musicians, and tours to Concentration camps, all cash cows; heh, its a business.
ReplyDeleteThe nicest religious moment on the March was when the entire Canadian delegation - some 1,200 people - gathered in a huge lecture hall at the University of Warsaw (not far from where the Warsaw Ghetto was) for Havdalah services. A very emotional moment.
