New Jewish community center to open in Berlin

The first privately funded Jewish cultural center in Germany since the Holocaust will open this week as a symbol of the rebirth of Jewish life in the country, organizers said Monday. The center’s director, Rabbi Yehuda Teichtal, offered reporters a tour around the complex in west Berlin which includes a synagogue, a library, a kosher restaurant, a tourist information center and a lecture hall.

“Everyone is welcome to come in and learn about Jewish life. Knowledge breeds tolerance,” Teichtal said. “We want to send a message that Jewish life is here and thriving.”
