Dear Cora, Thank you for your message and for the confidence you’ve placed in me. As for the photos from Sadagora and the additional material, my clear recommendation to you is that you publish them on your own website and, if appropriate, share a link with us. I’m confident that the Internet never forgets, and Wayback Machine by the Internet Archive makes a valuable contribution to this with over a trillion saved web pages:
https://web.archive.org You’ll discover that your website has been archived 92 times from 2007 to the present. Still, what happens if there’s no one left to maintain the website or if nobody wants to pay the provider anymore? I’ve answered this question for myself by ensuring that my own website http://hauster.de contains no substantive material but rather serves as a directory to eight thematically separate blogs. My blogs on Google’s Blogger.com, full of photos and content, are a microcosm of an estimated 600 to 700 million blogs across all platforms. When we—my website and I—are long gone, those blogs could still be there, passing into eternity in Google’s wake. Keep in mind that Big Tech is currently buying up European antiquarian bookshops, cutting off the spines, scanning the books, and feeding them to its insatiable AI. Why wouldn’t they also find our data—which is so easily accessible—tasty? Just my two cents, dear Cora, warmest wishes and have fun publishing your content!

First please note my new, and only email email address: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> I am doing some research for the sequel to one of my books and came across some photographs I took in Sadagura about 30 years ago of a very old and abandoned Jewish Cemetery there. I would like to send them to you (along with other photos and articles I collected/notes I took as I am sure my family will just discard them) I want them to be saved somewhere so that they will be kept for posterity. I need your advice and will do whatever you think is best. So, please write back and just let me know you got this email and we can take it from there. Thank you !!!!!!!

An article about a chief cantor’s 70th birthday isn’t really a big deal, but this article lets us feel the fascination that must have emanated from David Feldmann’s interpretation of the liturgical texts and hymns. Many of us—myself included, whether religious or not—have experienced this fascination and caught a glimpse of the Beyond. Thank you so much!

It was very interesting to me to reflect on its discussion of what I am thinking of as the artistry of the cantor in cultivating an appropriately religious atmosphere. Perhaps, at times, he was so immersed in the content of the passages that his own feelings took him to that point. In troubled times, that atmosphere was likely a profound respite. I remember my mother, Pearl Spiegel Fichman, remembering fondly her father Marcus Spiegel's singing voice, which she found very beautiful.

A new edition of "Die Stimme", the monthly newspaper for the Bukovinians, was published on 01-JAN-1959. Let's take a journey into the past together to comprehend what moved our ancestors, their relatives and friends back then! When the "Jubilee Edition Commemorating the 60th Anniversary of the [Czernowitz] Temple" was published on Hanukkah 5698 / November 28, 1937 (see related links), David Feldmann was the Chief Cantor of Czernowitz. Today—that is, in 1959—David Feldmann is in Israel, and "Die Stimme" celebrates CHIEF CANTOR DAVID FELDMANN—ON HIS 70TH BIRTHDAY in its January 1959 edition, without failing to mention his commitment during the Antonescu dictatorship. "As we briefly reported in our previous issue, Chief Cantor David Feldmann recently celebrated his 70th birthday. In honoring this milestone, it seems appropriate to take a few moments to reflect on the Jewish community of Czernowitz from 1920 to 1940—the years during which David Feldmann served as Chief Cantor at the Community Temple. One could enjoy the cantor's artistic performances. But Feldmann was also able, through his recitation of the prayers, to lift the synagogue’s visitors out of the mundane world and immerse them in that devotional atmosphere that is the prerequisite for inner religiosity. Through his soulful interpretation of the individual passages, he knew how to elevate the listener to the realms of divine promise, thus allowing them to experience the holiday on an inner level as well. His role as cantor also entailed participating in family-oriented occasions that called for religious ceremonies, thereby accompanying members of the congregation on specific life journeys. All of this comes to mind when one hears that David Feldmann has turned seventy. And it reminds us of something else: The dark years of Antonescu, 1941–1944, when only the ruins of the architecturally remarkable Temple remained, and we gathered on holidays in the Great Synagogue, which had remained intact, likely only by chance. To hold this service, special permission first had to be obtained from the Nazi Governor, which—after repeated efforts—was granted subject to certain restrictions. These memories bring us closer in spirit to the honoree’s character and lend a special warmth to the congratulations we extend to him on this occasion of his 70th birthday! Ad Mea Weesrim!"

He entrusted with this task Dr. Elias Weinstein, the former editor of the renowned daily newspaper "Czernowitzer Morgenblatt". I will try to let "Die Stimme" continue to resound in the future and invite you to follow me on this journey. Your comments are highly welcome!
