In a symbolic handing-over of keys on Sunday, the Jewish community of Cottbus in Brandenburg, northeast Germany, was presented with the premises for a new synagogue - the first to exist in the city since November 9, 1938. The night, which came to be known as "Kristallnacht" or "Night of Broken Glass," saw a series of coordinated attacks throughout Nazi Germany and Austria against Jewish homes, synagogues, businesses, schools and hospitals.
"Following the destruction of the synagogue by the Nazis, the handing over of keys marks the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of Jewish people in Brandenburg," Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg reported Petra Budke, the chairperson of Brandenburg's Green party, as saying.
Reestablished Jewish community
Cottbus' Schlosskirche, meaning castle church, will be converted into a synagogue. The church previously belonged to the city's Evangelical Christian community, but for decades, has been used for social activities and projects. The new synagogue is scheduled to be officially inaugurated on 27 January 2015, to coincide with International Holocaust Memorial Day.
"It's lovely that the building will become a place of worship again," said Ulrike Menzel, who has led the Evangelical parish in Cottbus since 2009.
The city's Jewish population, which reestablished itself in 1998, now has more than 400 members.

New York, NY (PRWEB) November 03, 2014
The Sim Shalom Online Synagogue has created and implemented a virtual Tree Of Life for its growing congregation. This centuries-old symbol can be utilized for a panoply of contemporary announcements including yahrtzeits, deaths, weddings, anniversaries, births, and bnai mitzvoth;
The Sim Shalom Tree of Life is dedicated to the memory of Ernest Anisz (Yitzchak ben Yehuda) and Naomi Anisz (Naomi Leah bat Iona Pezl) zl. A leaf on the Sim Shalom can be purchased for $36. In addition to listing names you can include a photo and brief bio about the memorialized person. Leaves may be used to honor the dead as well as to celebrate joyful occasions.
The Tree of Life is a timeless and benevolent image in our faith, and also has deep-seated relevance in various theological contexts, said Rabbi Steve Blane, founder of the Sim Shalom congregation. The trees Hebrew name is Etz Chaim which was first found in the Book of Proverbs.
Etz Chaim is also a common name for yeshivas and synagogues, as well as to works of Rabbinic literatures. Its also used to describe each of the wooden poles to which the parchment of a Sefer Torah is attached. So, the Tree stands both as a spiritual metaphor and a literal grounding in faith.
Our Tree of Life now takes its place in a long continuum of worship, harmony, and connectivity, said Rabbi Blane. Were pleased that it integrates a new communication medium into the ongoing tradition, and Im sure it will serve our congregation well.
Wisdom is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her, and happy is everyone that retaineth her. Proverbs 3:13-18.
