April 10, 2024 - Decoration of the JCZ ceremonial hall

We managed to "expand" the small space of our ceremonial hall with the help of maximum use of all the possibilities that were available to us. The reason for the small decoration was the desire to highlight the artworks of our member Jove Đorđević. As of today, his sculptural works are exhibited in a protected shelf with glass doors.
A panel with ID cards of the surviving members of the Jewish community of Zemun during the Holocaust is located on a large sliding door. As of today, 63 ID cards are available for all visitors to pick up and learn about the fate of the survivors.
This year we plan to publish the Catalog of our activities for 2023 and 2024. For the purposes of promoting the new catalog, we created a special shelf for ten catalogs. An empty place, waiting for December when the new, tenth anniversary catalog will be published.

April 3, 2024 - Graffiti on the our building painted over

Over the past few days, contractors have painted over the existing graffiti on the facade of our building at Dubrovačka 21. Part of the facade was painted with a similar color as the painted facade of the building where there is a memorial plaque dedicated to the memory of the construction of the Sephardic synagogue and 575 of our members who died in the Holocaust.
In order to prevent the writing of new graffiti, we coated the paint with an anti-graffiti mixture, which implies that new graffiti can be washed off with water.

In the shadow of the war against Hamas, the Jewish community of Zemun celebrated the joyful holiday of Purim without much joy. Our thoughts were directed towards the abducted citizens of Israel by Hamas.
