During the opening ceremonies we also could meet Silvia Nath – Mina’s daughter with her husband Martin, which came from Wenezuela.

New Office in open!

Published on by jewish.tarnowLeave a comment
26.05.2017 Mr Mayor of Tarnów Roman Ciepiela and other our friends (directors of institutions of culture in Tarnów, lawyers, publishers, artists, teachers, media representatives, members of our Committee etc. etc.) were present at opening ceremonies of the new location of Committee for Protection of Jewish Heritage in Tarnów.
First Adam Bartosz, chairman, had a little speech about a history of Committee, then Mr Mayor welcome us in new office, and special speech had pastoralist of artists environment, who read the fragment of the Book of Numbers with the blessing. Then we went to Pizzeria u Włocha to sit and talk. 
For this moment our adress is a little misleading (we will have own number in a near future) – but this very green colour of building is more readable. So – if you will arrive Tarnów, go Plac Rybny (Fish Square), next to Rynek (Main Square), and look for the thinest and greenest buiding on this square. We are there and waiting for you.

Dear Friends,
Please be advised that we have decided to cancel the Shabbat Service & Kosher Meal on June 16, 2017 in Tarnow, that was planned to be a part of the Opening Ceremonies of the Mina’s exhibition which is part of Jewish Memory Days in Tarnów.
Despite our numerous request for those attending the Days of Remembrance Ceremonies, June 16 – 19, 2017 in Tarnow to advise us if a Kosher Meal was required, we have yet to receive any requests.
The Opening Ceremonies will go on as planned but with Hor D’oeuvres & Wine Tasting, starting at 18:00 at the „Galeria Sztyler, Tarnow, Tertila Passage”. Please contact us if you need directions.
The Exhibition of the „Mina Collection” will still take place & I am very pleased to advise that Silvia Nath (Mina’s daughter) will be in attendance.
See you in Tarnow!
Adam Bartosz, Gerry Vineberg, Natalia Gancarz
