rebuilding together, remembering forever
Welcome to our March newsletter! As the days get longer and the winter turns to spring, we are thrilled to extend an invitation to participate in an incredibly exciting crowdfunding campaign that will make history. We’re embarking on a journey to build a Jewish heritage site that will serve as a beacon of remembrance and resilience for generations to come – and you can help us to make it happen. In addition to this groundbreaking initiative, we share exciting news from Belarus, where vibrant Purim celebrations brought communities together in a spirit of joy and solidarity, and we pay tribute to a visionary Jewish Belarusian architect whose legacy continues to inspire us today.
All the best
