New York (JTA) — The
dramatic story of how an iso ;
lated European Jewish commu-
nity, without a rabbi for more
than 20 years, bounced back
from the Holocaust with the aid
of the Memorial Foundation for
Jewish Culture and the local
community, came to light re-
cently, according to a report by
the foundation.
From 1958 to 1980, Oslo,
Norway, functioned without a
rabbi. It fell upon Michael_Mel-
chior, the eldest son of a Danish
family counting-six generations
of rabbis, to rekindle Jewish life
in one of the world Jewry's
loneliest outpost.
Trained in Israel with the
help of the foundation and the
Oslo community, Rabbi Melchior
opened the first kindergarten in
Oslo since the Holocaust and re-
vitaliied the afternoon schools,
which teach children from ages
7 to 13. In 1979, there were 38
children receiving religious in-
struction at the Jewish Commu-
nity Center in Oslo. The number
for 1965 is 68.
Melchior has reactivated the
youth groups. Teenagers study ,
Jewish history, Zionism and
religious texts. More_ than 80
percent of all Jdwish youth: are
now being reached.
Adult education has alio been
a focus of Melchior. a large
number of workshops have been
organized under his leadership
with study groups in Pirkei
Avot, Jewish thought, and
Jewish holidays. Melchior's wife,
Hannah, has taught classes for
potential converts.
Melchior was instrumental in
establishing the Kosher Food
Center, a grocery which at the
time of its opening in November
1981 had the largest selection of
kosher foods in Europe. Since
1982, the center has provided
food amounting to $30,000 each
year to the Jews in Poland. This
enterprise has come about
thanks to an agreement with
Norway's Church' Relief Society
(Kirkensnodhjelp).
In addressing the larger con-
cerns of the Jewish community,
Melchior interprets Judaism and
the Jewish community to the
Christian community through
regular contacts with churches,
universities, schools and service
groups.
One of Melchior's greatest
achievements is the creation of
the.Norwegian Council of Soviet
Jewry, in which he serves as
co-chairman with Christopher
Gjotterud, professor of physics at
the University of Oslo. The
council has been very successful
in raising the issue of Soviet
Jewry at the highest level of
government in Norway:
At the end of this year, Mel-
chior will make aliyah. The Oslo
Jewish leaders have come up
with a plan which will be put
into action next year.
Melchior will commit himself
to reside in Oslo for four months
of every year — including the
High Holy Days -- and' will re-
ceive a salary which covers his
year's expenses. This solution
will enable him to continue his
studies in Israel the rest of the
year.
