Thank G-d, we now have an active synagogue. At its helm, our rabbi, Rabbi Yosef Marozov is available to answer all our questions, not whimsically, but realistically and practically. A Jewish stand has been opened in our Synagogue to sell all items necessary to live a Jewish life. Available are Sidurrim, Torah, talmud, tfillin, tallis and many more items that belong in a Jewish home.
Jews who are interested in kosher products now have a place where they can buy them for a decent price – meat, chicken, sausages, milk products, and so on – even chips and Snickers. Of course, kosher wine is available too. In addition, there is a wonderful book “The Aromas of Jewish Cooking” with the aid of which you will be able to cook many kosher meals!
This is a wonderful new direction in the life of our community. It is the beginning of a return to Jewish life which our ancestors lived for thousands of years. It is towards this Jewish life that we are striving for by establishing our community.
All who desire to join in this life – welcome to our Synagogue! All items listed above may be ordered. It is possible to buy it all on credit. Should you have any questions regarding price, quantity and quality, feel free to address it to the offices of the Rabbi.
