BUCOVICE, Czech Republic
Velké Mezíříci, Czech Republic
PHASE 1: The Czech Heritage Action Initiative is pleased to announce that stage 1 of the restoration of the Jewish Cemetery of Velké Mezíříci, Czech Republic is complete. Through the generous support of Congregation Solel, and its Rabbi, Rabbi Dov Taylor, a large scale clean up of the Jewish cemetery was completed in the fall of 2002. The completed works included the removal of dense overgrowth, six feet high in some parts of the cemetery, and the removal of large dead tree limbs which threatened the gravestones below. Congregation Solel has a special connection to this lost Jewish community through a Memorial Torah Scroll that originated in Velké Mezíříci, and is now treasured again as an honored part of a vibrant community.
PHASE 2: CHAI received support for the second phase and continuation of the Velké Mezíříci restoration project from a descendent of families that resided in the community and who has many ancestors buried in the Jewish cemetery. Work was completed during the summer of 2005.
