After a whole year of interruption, work has started again on the distressed building of the Etz Hayim Synagogue of Larissa!
A few months ago we made a dramatic appeal for donations in all directions, as we could not "raise" alone the huge costs (around €450.000) for the restoration of our unique religious house.
The response was immediate and moving: members of our Community, Larissaians who live in other places, but also their children and grandchildren, members of other Communities in Greece and abroad, people who have visited us as tourists, as well as non-Jews friends and fellow citizens offered their donations and helped spread the appeal.
Very important was also the response of almost all Jewish Communities, led by the Central Israeli Council, which supported our effort both financially and morally.
Thanks to all of you the project continues! As our fight to attract sponsors continues, since, with the response so far, we have only achieved 1/10 of our goal.
Every contribution is essential and every share is valuable.
We hope, with everyone's help, the sounds of hammers and drills inside our Synagogue will soon be replaced by joyful chants!

Thessaly Radio... Plays memory of the Holocaust
The Thessalian Theatre, who in the midst of quarantine found a way to communicate his art to the public of our city through the radio, is for the third consecutive year putting the art of theater and its excellent potential at the service of the memory of the Holocaust. In this way, he essentially establishes his participation in the anniversary and honors his role as a producer of culture in our country.
