"Catholic Church grants building for town’s first synagogue in 500 years"
jpupdates.com
"Palermo’s Roman Catholic Church is apparently making amends to the Jewish community, granting it partial ownership of a church and monastery built on the ruins of a medieval synagogue. The expulsion of Sicily’s Jews began in 1493, a year after the expulsion of Spain’s Jewish community. At the time of the expulsion, Palermo’s Jewish community numbered around 5,000, according to Jewish Virtual Library.
The renovations will be financed by the Roman Catholic Church and will go towards creating a Jewish heritage center and synagogue for the city’s Jewish population, which numbers only in the dozens...
Ownership of the renovated space will be transferred to the Jewish community as part of a January 12 conference, paralleling the anniversary of the Jewish expulsion from Sicily. As Palermo has no formal Jewish community, the space will be transferred to the Sicilian Institute of Jewish Studies, a cultural and educational organization connected with Shavei Israel."
