Jews have accomplished so much
in every area of human pursuit
and particularly recently in the
State of Israel; imagine how
much more our success if we
could but cooperate and work to-

Funds Slow
Restoration

Maribor, Slovenia (JTA) — City
authorities here are carrying out
the restoration of the only re-
maining synagogue building in
the newly independent country
of Slovenia.
But they have had to slow the
project for lack of funds.
The Gothic synagogue dates
back hundreds of years and
stands on a street still called Jew-
ish Street, amid traces of the
city's medieval Jewish ghetto.
Nearby is a fortified structure
known as the Jewish Tower, built
in 1465.
"We want to restore the syna-
gogue for use as a cultural cen-
ter, but need to raise more money
to complete the work," said Janez
Mikuz, director of the Institute
for the Protection of Natural and
Cultural Heritage in Maribor.
A report by the institute said
at least $500,000 was needed to
complete the project.
Maribor is the second largest
city in Slovenia, a former Yu-
goslav republic whose declaration
of independence in 1991 was one
of the triggers of the violent
breakup of Yugoslavia.
An ancient city on the Drava
River near the border with Aus-
tria, Maribor was the stronghold
of Slovenia's medieval Jewish
community.
The first mention of a Jewish
community in the city dates to
the 13th century, but the origi-
nal Jewish settlement was prob-
ably older.
Maribor's medieval Jewish
community was prosperous, and
its 15th century Rabbi Petahya
Isserlein held the title of chief
rabbi of Styria, Carinthia and
Carniola from 1427 to 1435.
Jews were expelled from Mari-
bor in 1496 by the Hapsburg Em-
peror Maximilian, and all Jews
were expelled from Slovenia by
the early 18th century.
Few Jews returned to live in
Slovenia. Only a handful of Jews
live among Maribm's 100,000 res-
idents today.
The synagogue is situated on
an elevated terrace above the
Drava. It is connected to the so-
called Jewish Tower by the
town's fortified walls.
After the Jews were expelled
from Maribor, the synagogue was
converted into a church in 1501.
