24. Now WE need YOUR help

25. Throughout Europe, during the Holocaust, our synagogues were burned to the ground. But in the USSR it continued until the fall of Communism in 1991.

26. In 1971, our community's Central synagogue was burned and then bulldozed! Unbelievably, even now, in 2009, the city council wants to repeat the performance, G-d forbid! They want to burn down, so to speak, the synagogue planned to replace the original synagogue in Simferopol, by confiscating the property we bought.

27. In 1998 Property was purchased to rebuild the shul as the new Jewish Center in Crimea. Just before actually starting to build, an urgent need to open a Jewish Day school arose. The synagogue plans were put on hold and the land remained barren.

28. In 2007 the city council voted to take the land away. In an openly miraculous way, they themselves overturned the decision.

29. We are once again being threatened that the land will be confiscated if we do not begin to build immediately.

30. The original building plans include: Shul Two Mikvaos (men’s and women’s) Soup Kitchen Classrooms Judaica Library Interactive Audio-Visual Library Humanitarian Aid Center Social Hall

32. Our goal, for now, is to build a preliminary one story building immediately, thereby making a strong legal claim that the property is ours.

33. Its total cost is only $55,000
