I know in Moldova the small Jewish community there is trying to restore some of the other synagogues in town that have not been in use. In Moldova, as I suspect in many of the neighboring countries, it can be difficult as there are so few Jewish people living there. For locals, it’s a part of a tough and complex history that’s difficult or simply easier not to acknowledge.

Since my grandparents were in the Holocaust, it has special meaning for me. When I was in Europe, I noticed that so many of the Jewish cemeteries were in a state of disrepair. I wonder what it would mean (the significance for us internationally as well as for the locals) if volunteer groups gathered together to clean up these cemeteries throughout Europe.
