"Our goal is to create not just a synagogue but a community center," said Rabbi Berel Lazar, the head rabbi of the synagogue, which is run by the Chabad movement of the Lubavitch Cha- sidim. 'This is urgent, and we're turning to Jewish people from all over the world for support." The Aug. 2 groundbreaking was attended by about 250 peo- ple, including Israeli Chief Ashke- nazic Rabbi Yisrael Lau; U.S. Ambassador Thomas Pickering; Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov; and Yaakov Elztain, an Argen- tinean entrepreneur who got his first business break in Russia and who has contributed about $1 million to a new building fund for the synagogue and community center. The new building will rise from the site of the remains of the Ma- rina Roscha Synagogue, which was built in 1926 and devastat- ed by a fire late in December 1993. The cause of the fire remains unknown. It is widely believed to have been caused by either arson or faulty wiring, but a final an- swer has not yet been provided by fire investigators. "In the beginning, the city was trying not to have a fire investi- gation, but then there was pres- sure from abroad," said Rabbi Lazar. "Since then, the investi- gation has been going very slow- ly and with little result. The city feels that if they do too much in- vestigating, it will bring out anti- Semitism" among members of the local community.
