Recently the first time in decades a newly built synagogue of Chernivtsi saw a solemn introduction of the first scroll of Torah. Immediately after the holidays of Tishrei and Simchat Torah Felix Vulis donated this holy book to the Chernivtsi synagogue. Many years ago the family of Felix Vulis lived in front of the synagogue. Feliks learned about the restoration and opening of the synagogue which took place with the direct participation and assistance of the Lubavitcher Rebbe shluchim Rabbi Menachem Mendel and Pnina Glinsshtain and decided to donate the scroll of Torah.
The celebrations began at the building of the former home of the Vulis family and continued in the building of the synagogue. The entire Jewish community of the city gathered to celebrate this important event. Children and adults danced around the Torah which was brought into the synagogue under hupa like a bride.
