Ukraine: Construction Begins On World's Largest Jewish Community Center

Straddling two blocks, a $60 million, 400,000 square foot Jewish Community Center and Holocaust Museum now under construction in Dnepropetrovsk will be a city within a city, a showcase for a Ukrainian industrial backwater waking up to boom times in Jewish and civic contexts.

The seven-tower, twenty-story museum and center multiplex will stretch around the existing Golden Rose synagogue is sweeping in its scope of programs.

“Any Jewish person, any age and every time of the day will have a reason to spend quality time at the center,” said Dnepropetrovsk’s Chief Rabbi and Chabad-Lubavitch representative, Shmuel Kaminezki. At maximum capacity, the center will hold over 10,000 people, a chunk of Dnepropetrovsk’s 50,000 Jews. 

Funded by Gennady Bogolubov, president of the Jewish Community of Dnepropetrovsk and partner in the international industrial firm Privat Group, the center will cement the city’s Jewish renaissance.

A Jewish mall in the center will offer easy access to kosher food and lifestyle necessities on a level unfathomable in the lean days of the communist and immediate post-glasnost era. Kosher restaurants, coffee shops, fast food joints, an Internet café, a bookstore, Judaica store, supermarket and pharmacy will line the first two floors of the center. Currently, ten tons of kosher meat products are produced in Ukraine, including ten different kinds of deli meats, per month. When the center is completed, demand is expected to grow further.

Above the mall, floors of auditoria and suites will become home to programs for children, children with special needs, women’s groups, adult education and seniors. A wing is reserved for Jewish courses offered to the community’s college students and for its on-site business school. Teachers at the school and community workers will live in the 30 apartments within the complex.

Weddings will be held under the stars near a permanent rooftop tent. Festive receptions and banquet will take place in the plush catering halls a short elevator ride away. A massive commercial kitchen will provide all the kosher catering.

In an adjacent space, the museum, planned with direction of Yad Vashem in Israel, will be more than Ukraine’s largest Holocaust memorial. It will also house one of the world’s finest collections of contemporary Jewish art and a museum of modern Jewish life. Igor Kolomoysky, Privat Group partner, is funding the museum complex and collecting the art that will form the nucleus of the museum’s collection.

“The project will provide resources for the Jewish community, but it plays an important role in the development of the entire city,” said Zelig Brez, executive director of the Jewish Community of Dnepropetrovsk. While the center’s stores, hotel rooms, restaurants, and clinic will be open to all residents, Brez is especially committed to seeing all Ukrainians visiting the museum. “Today’s generation has a very limited understanding of the Holocaust, and we must change that.”

Plans for the center received enthusiastic reception from local officials. Mayor Ivan Kulichenko brought the plans along with him when he attended a conference of mayors in Belgium. He shared architectural drawing of the center with Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski to promote positive ties between the two cities.

For its aesthetic appeal, the center drew approval from the city’s architectural planning board. The outermost of seven towers stand five stories high and climb to ten, fifteen and finally twenty stories at the center. Atop each building is a large spotlight fixture that will give the complex the look of a free form menorah.  Dnepropetrovsk’s municipal chief architect Julia Saenko saluted the building as “good for the image of the city,” a step forward for democracy, freedom of religion and revitalization.

City planners were quick to approve plans for the Menorah center. Ukraine won hosting rights, together with Poland, to the 2012 Union of European Football Association (UEFA) championship games. Doubts about Ukraine’s readiness to host tens of thousands visitors has placed pressure on municipalities to improve infrastructure and increase hotel room capacity. Menorah center and all of its amenities, on track for completion within two years, is a feather in Ukraine’s UEFA readiness cap.

Officials also recognized the job growth potential inherent in a project of this magnitude. Restaurants, stores, food providers, the hotel and catering hall will be managed by independent business owners to provide self-sustaining funds for the center’s endowment. Hard numbers are not available yet, but the service and management sector jobs required to run Menorah center and Holocaust museum are expected provide a boost to the city’s middle class.

Now experiencing a boom, as evidenced by the number of cranes perched atop the steel skeletons of growing high rises, Dnepropetrovsk is faced with a widening gap between rich and poor. Menorah center stores will offer help to financially struggling families and seniors. A discount card will allow them to purchase groceries and prepared food at near or below wholesale costs. Medical clinic services will be provided on a sliding scale, and prescriptions for low-income residents will be subsidized.

To get a sense of how huge the Menorah Community Center and Museum will be, it helps to hear that its seven lights will be viewable by airplane passengers on their way to the international airport. “The largest menorah in the world,” according to Rabbi Kaminezki. Inside the hulking structure, will be programs that keep the spiritual and physical needs of those in need at the forefront.

Why are these people constantly setting up shop amongst other people. All they do is cause trouble. RIP Ukraine

What's this all about? Setting up a Jewish "Vatican" in Ukraine? I wonder what the average Christian in Ukraine thinks about this?

[Mike Adkison]

Way too many holocaust museums. They are all over the world! Jews have made the holocaust the central focal point of their entire Jewish religion. People all over the world have suffered enormously in all wars since the beginning of time. They never dare to mention the overwhelmingly Jewish complicity in the Bolshevic revolution, in which 60 million or more innocent people were butchered and slaughtered wholesale by the Jews They whine on and on endlessly about their own suffering, while seeming to ignore that of others. What they have done to the Palistinians is pure evil. The way they have behaved throughout history makes Hitler look like a boy scout. What a bunch of hypocrites!

[David]

Yet another temple to "holocaustianity" - an invention of the Talmudic Synagogue of Satan. Israel is a Zionist/Talmudic state of the Rothschilds, NOT a "Jewish" state, because having a Jewish state is against the true Torah of Judaism. The Ukraine will be destroyed if Russia doesn't liberate it from the zio-fascists who took over there. The Crimea will be a part of Russia again, because they can't afford to lose their only warm-water port at Vladivostock, which has always been Russian. All the Warsaw Pact countries who lied about never joining NATO should be invaded to provide a buffer-zone for Russian security. None of the "color revolutions" were democratic - the elections were all rigged by Soros/Rothschilds money, and orchestrated by the zionist controlled media. The leaders are Zionist fascist thugs, who are sock-puppets. I used to fear the USSR because of bomb-shelters and "drop and cover" drills in school, but now I cheer Russia on for standing-up to the zio-fascist NWO agenda, and their plan for a uni-polar prison-planet.

The Talmud Jews are parasites. They feed on the productivity of all the peoples on this planet. The Russians lost 30 million during the same period. What stupid people would allow these parasites to build a museum to the worship of those who caused the war in the first place. Come on Russia, I don't believe my own nations lies on Georgia. Neither do millions of others. All nations have idiots who believe what the idiot box tells them. Lock and loading against my own USA treasonist leaders. See some of you with Jesus in our new mansion. Ric

A judaic disneyland of this magnitude in a city with a jewish population of only 50,000?
Why don't they set this up in Israel along with it's Holocaust museum for the people (jews) that actually might give a damn?
Will the jews ever leave poor Russia alone?

[Fred Wolf]

Round them all up and put them back in to camps. The world would be a better place!

[Paul Shishis]

And yet genocide continues to OTHER TRIBES on our plan ET TODAY. WHERE ARE U n ?

I have gradually come to the conclusion that Judaism is a culturally inherited mass psychological disorder. When manifested in individuals the disorder is known as Narcissistic Personality Disorder and its symptoms are described thus:

1) has a grandiose sense of self-importance
2) is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
3) believes that he or she is "special" and unique
4) requires excessive admiration
5) has a sense of entitlement
6) is interpersonally exploitative
7) lacks empathy
8) is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her
9) shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

As evidenced by this monstrous temple to themselves that the Jews are building in the Ukraine, this diagnostic template fits the Jewish personality like a glove. And unfortunately these narcissistically deluded Jews, in their determined efforts to get us all to worship them, are going to lead the world to its total destruction.

[David]

I wonder,have the Jews erected any holocaust museums for the American Indians,the 40 million killed in Russia in the first part of the 20th century.
Or is only Jewish Holocaust Museums that they build .
Are they concerned from their hearts to build museums for holocaust victims or just self centered and selfish in their quest for Holocaust museums.

[WEREFEAT]

According to the movie "The Empire of the City" on Video.Google, the House of Rothschild owns/controls 80% of Israel.

[Thought Criminal]

The zionists are building a holohoax museum in a country where they starved 7 to 10 million people. It is just incredible with what these hoaxsters get away with.

btw the jewish word for non jews gentile is a racist term and should be banned.

Holy pigstye

Hmmmm. I only hope that all who read these well written, and i can not say incredible comments, remember that only a small percentage of the world's Jews fall into the category of Zionists, especially of the extreme type here discussed. The vast majority are just "regular people" and not "elitists" and/or narcissists. This vast majority is as horrified and appalled by the machinations and excesses of these "Zionists" as are the "posters" here and, i'm sure, many others.

Zionists commit genocide wherever they go and my guess is that the US is next. We're the future USSR, complete with camps built with taxpayers' $$$.

[David Mende]

After the Jewish inspired Ukrainian False Famine, how the Ukes can celebrate this temple to "Them" is unbelievable. It is exactly as if the Nazi's were to build a themepark in Israel. Exactly but for the fact the Ukrainian Famine is not exaggerated.

[Alexander]

All these hostile comments and "posters" will not change the fact that the majority will accept
and admire this Center as a symbol of the democratic and independent Ukraine. There is no
doubt about this, not at all!

[J West]

Another shithole dedicated to scum.
