Munkache, Ukraine - Synagogue Restored and Inaugurated

Munkacho, Ukraine - The restored Chasidic Synagogue has been opened in Mukachevo, Zakarpatye region, Ukraine. The Munkacher Rebbe Moishe-Leyb Rabinovich and his congregation were present at the inauguration ceremony.

For the Jewish community of Mukache which counts one thousand Jews this was a great event. This turned out to be a double festivity when the Rabbi Rabinovich, who was born in this very house in 1940, arrived to share the joy of the occasion. Just as in 1940, there was a crowd of people around the Synagogue while inside the renewed Synagogue were Chassidim gathering for the Shacharis Prayer for the first time in 65 years.
