The Union of Jews Born in Romania (AMIR)
has beem founded in Israel
We are glad
to inform you about that the Union of Jews Born in Romania (in short AMIR) has
been founded in Israel. The goals of the Organization are the:
- Creating a museum in Israel, which presents the images and
the achievements of the Jews born in Romania – in Israel, in Romania and in
other countries of the world.
- Organizing the first International Congress of the Jews
born in Romania who live world widely, in Jerusalem, in 2004.
In order to
achieve the two goals mentioned above, AMIR includes many various organizations
of Jews born of Romania (from Israel and from other countries of the world), as
well as Jewish people who were born in Romania and do not belong to any
association. Being a member of AMIR doesn't affecti on the activity of other
Romanian Jewish organizations in any measure. (In Israel there are about 50
organizations of this kind. Therefore the newly joined members of AMIR can
continue their previous activities.)
We call upon
and urge all the Jews who were born in Romania, no matter where they live today,
to join us, in order to achieve and create the Museum of Romanian Judaism. We
invite you, your children and your grandchildren as well, to the future
International Congress of the Jews born in Romania! All answers, suggestions,
contacts, and (for those who have the possibility) financial donations are
welcomed!
We enclose
the first issue of AMIR’s newsletter hoping that it will become popular by means
of the communication among all the Jews who were born in Romania.
