AMAZING 2019 update: This gives such hope: A Synagogue Renovation in Berlin, and the Palestinian Making It Happen – Haarez
The community has grown so much that a new building will be built to replace the the large and luxurious synagogue that once stood at the same site, with room for 2,000 worshippers. That building was set on fire by the Nazis and destroyed during the November Pogrom 1938.
“With the help of the chairman off Berlin’s Social Democratic Party, Raed Saleh, a new building will be built as a cultural center for the Jewish community in Berlin. Saleh, a German of Palestinian origin, heads the trustees spearheading the building’s renovations.“
Haaretz
I am so proud of the community that I could cry!
