Der Yid, August 29, 2014: Slovakian Ambassador at Meeting with Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem to Discuss Cemetery Preservation; Rabbi Niederman Reporting on Ongoing Preservation Efforts

This week's Der Yid (pages 8 and 76) had an elaborate report on the meeting at the residence of the Chief Rabbi of the Eda Haredit of Jerusalem, the esteemed Rabbi Weiss Shlita, and the Slovakian Ambassador, His Excellency Radovan Javorcik. Rabbi Niederman traveled to Israel - on the invitation of the Chief Rabbi - to participate at the meeting and report on the ongoing preservation efforts, and his personal trips, together with Rabbi Kalmanowit of Asra Kadisha, to intervene with the authorities on these issues.

The meeting comes on the heels of a meeting at the Chief Rabbi's residence with the President of the EU's European Commission President H.E. José Manuel Barroso, in which the Chief Rabbi appealed for his assistance in the cemetery preservation efforts, and a subsequent meeting in Brussels attended by Rabbi Niederman to further discuss these and other issues.
