The middle-aged man, his face contorted with anger, gestured to the white, plastered church a few steps behind him, its steeple gleaming as the sun broke through the dark gray clouds hanging ominously low over the eastern German city of Cottbus on Monday afternoon.
"We don't need more scum here", he spat: Cottbus certainly didn't need a synagogue, "not here." He shook his head and wandered off, muttering to himself as he headed down Cottbus' busy main shopping street.
He was referring to the fact that the former Lutheran Church, which dates back to 1714, was recently handed over to the city's small Jewish community, exclusively made up of Russian immigrants. The decision to turn the building into a synagogue just made sense, Ulrike Menzel, the Lutheran Churches' regional leader, said:
"The Jewish community needed a synagogue and, faced with an ever dwindling number of worshippers, the city's Schlosskirche, or Castle Church, "simply didn't have its own congregation any more." And, she added, given its plain, austere architecture, there was no need to make major changes to the building.
Solomonik: "Cottbus is my home."
Church leader: "We welcome Jewish life"
But, more importantly, the city wanted to send a powerful message, Menzel, a petite, vivacious pastor said: "We wanted to make clear that we welcome Jewish life in our community and that it's not being marginalized."
After the Church made its decision public back in 2011, Menzel received hate mail, she said, some of it so vitriolic she didn't want to repeat any of the abuse. But, she said, shrugging away the xenophobia and anti-Semitism, the majority of people in Cottbus definitely supported the transformation, and, maybe contrary to its reputation, Cottbus was "definitely a liberal, open-minded city."
An elderly man, out to buy a shirt, agreed: He was happy, he said, that Cottbus finally had a new synagogue. "It's time we got used to the fact that there are people with other religions." His family, he added, were refugees, who fled from what is now Poland after the end of the Second World War. He was five at the time. He smiled: "So I know what it's like moving to a new country and how important it is to feel welcome."
In the city's serene graveyard, its tombs hidden away under bushes and leafy trees, an employee in a black suit relaxing outside the mortuary only grudgingly gave directions to the small Jewish cemetery, tucked away in a corner behind a plain fence. Two brown deer wandered around the mossy graves which spoke of a small, but thriving Jewish community that was all but annihilated during the Holocaust: The city's imposing synagogue was burnt to the ground in 1938 - and only 12 Jews survived the Nazi's reign of terror.

In earlier decades it was the warehouse of a theatrical lighting supply company. More recently, it filled a need as offices and a storage facility for the Lower Merion School District during construction of the new Harriton and Lower Merion high schools.
Now it will play a role in the spiritual life of its community.
In a final vote Feb. 18, township commissioners approved the Lower Merion Synagogues preliminary plan of land development for the parcel. The building will be converted to house a mikvah or ritual bath facility.
In other action that night, commissioners also confirmed earlier committee votes to approve development plans for a twin- and townhouse project in Ardmore and a major new apartment complex in the City Avenue district in Bala Cynwyd.
The action on the Union Avenue application is the final public step in a process that began in May 2014, when the Lower Merion School District sought approval to sell the property it had purchased six years earlier. It announced it had reached an agreement of sale with the synagogue, located nearby on Old Lancaster Avenue, the high school projects having been completed.
According to Director of Operations Patrick Guinane, the purchase price under the agreement was $880,000. The school district had purchased the less than half-acre parcel, occupied by the 8,200-square-foot warehouse building, for $975,000 in 2008, according to Montgomery County land records.
Last fall, the townships zoning hearing board granted a special exception for the synagogue to use the property as a non-residential religious use in its R4 residential district, with some other relief from lot requirements. It denied a request to provide an on-site caretaker apartment.
In its plan for use of the property, the synagogue will remove some of the existing parking lot, retaining 17 parking spaces. Just under 3,000 square feet of impervious surface will be removed to provide new landscaped buffers with adjoining residential properties. Total impervious surface will be reduced from 95.9 percent to 78.6 percent.
In earlier meetings to review the plans, the synagogues use has been welcomed as a low-intensity use. Neighbors have supported the plan, having worked out provisions for the location and screening of mechanical equipment. Continued...

OSLO, Norway -- More than 1,000 people formed a "ring of peace" Saturday outside Oslo's main synagogue at the initiative of a group of young Muslims.
The event in the Norwegian capital follows a series of attacks against Jews in Europe, including the killings of 17 people in Paris last month and two fatal shootings in Copenhagen, Denmark a week ago.

One of the eight independent organizers of Saturday's event in Oslo, Hajrah Arshad said the gathering shows "that Islam is about love and unity."
"We want to demonstrate that Jews and Muslims do not hate each other," co-organizer Zeeshan Abdullah told the crowd, standing in a half-circle before the white synagogue. "We do not want individuals to define what Islam is for the rest of us."
"There are many more peace-mongers than warmongers," he added.
Norway's Chief Rabbi Michael Melchior sang the traditional Jewish end of Sabbath song outside the synagogue before the large crowd holding hands.
Co-organizer Hassan Raja said it was the first time he heard the song.

OSLO, Feb 21 (Reuters) - More than 1000 Muslims formed a human shield around Oslo's synagogue on Saturday, offering symbolic protection for the city's Jewish community and condemning an attack on a synagogue in neighbouring Denmark last weekend.
Chanting "No to anti-Semitism, no to Islamophobia," Norway's Muslims formed what they called a ring of peace a week after Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein, a Danish-born son of Palestinian immigrants, killed two people at a synagogue and an event promoting free speech in Copenhagen last weekend.
"Humanity is one and we are here to demonstrate that," Zeeshan Abdullah, one of the protest's organizers told a crowd of Muslim immigrants and ethnic Norwegians who filled the small street around Oslo's only functioning synagogue.
"There are many more peace mongers than warmongers," Abdullah said as organisers and Jewish community leaders stood side by side. "There's still hope for humanity, for peace and love, across religious differences and backgrounds."
Hakon Mosvold Larsen/NTB Scanpix/AP Photo More than 1,000 people formed a "ring of peace" around the Norwegian capital's synagogue, an initiative taken by young Muslims in Norway after a series of attacks against Jews in Europe, in Oslo, Saturday, Feb. 21 2015. Norways Chief Rabbi Michael Melchior sang the traditional Jewish end of Shabaat song outside the Oslo synagogue before a large crowd holding hands.
Norway's Jewish community is one of Europe's smallest, numbering around 1000, and the Muslim population, which has been growing steadily through immigration, is 150,000 to 200,000. Norway has a population of about 5.2 million.
The debate over immigration in the country came to the forefront in 2011 when Anders Behring Breivik killed 77 people and accused the government and the then-ruling Labour party of facilitating Muslim immigration and adulterating pure Norwegian blood.
Support for immigration has been rising steadily since those attacks, however, and an opinion poll late last year found that 77 percent of people thought immigrants made an important contribution to Norwegian society.

Ervin Kohn, head of Oslo's Jewish community, called the gathering in sub-zero temperatures "unique".
Several European countries have seen an increase in anti-Semitic incidents recently, starting when the conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza intensified last year.
