THE DREAM BECAME A REALITY
|
Our Synagogue in 5, Rabin Alkalaj St.
(former Primorska St.), built in 1863. |
On May 19, 2016, the Agency for Restitution of the Republic of Serbia, Unit for Confessional Restitution, issued a decision determining the ownership of the building of the former Synagogue to the Jewish community of Zemun as a compensation for property confiscated in Primorska 3 and 5, today Rabina Alkalaj St.
RELIGIOUS CULTURAL CENTER "HEART - HERZ(L)"
Four years after the lawsuits initiated by the interested republic, city and municipal offices, the competent court ruled that the decision of the Agency for Restitution is final. The intention of the Jewish community is to make this space a new home for the city artists and occasionally for religious services and celebrations of major Jewish holidays. Our Torah was miraculously saved from the occupiers during the Second World War. After the expiration of the legal deadline of three years, during which the tenant can use the Synagogue as a business space without any obstacles, we will see all the financial possibilities to turn it into a religious and cultural center of Zemun. |
