A synagogue that served as a Jewish house of worship in the city of Lodz, Poland, before World War II and, in recent years, has once again been used by members of the Jewish community there was abruptly shut down.
According to a report in the Israeli media outlet Ynet, members of the Lodz Jewish community said the locks to the 120-year-old Reicher Synagogue were abruptly changed, and that the building’s owner told them they could no longer enter because of safety concerns due to the building’s age.
The existing Jewish community volunteered to renovate the structure, but the owner declined, leaving many convinced that the owner plans to demolish the building to put up a residential complex instead.
The owner of the synagogue building, a local real estate developer, “doesn’t want us there,” said community member David Gurfinkel.
Sent my comment from Jerusalem ca 25 minutes ago (it’s now 8:50 pm in Jerusalem)…you write as if my comment was sent r’l on Shabbos
No Jews belong in Poland…shame on the Jews involved/ The Polish are merely behaving as the Pollaks they are and always were!
I assume that the current owner bought it from the person or entity who stole it from the Jews.
Try to retain possesion but if that fails, Israel is an option.
