The Christian Social Union faction in the City Council of Wuerzburg has proposed a detailed plan to assist the Jewish community to renovate its synagogue. The plan calls for a gradual renovation which would be financed mainly from the city’s budget. It also recommends placing the sypogogue under the care of local authorities. The faction wants Wuerzburg to demonstrate its solidarity with former Jewish citizens by intensifying contacts with them on various levels. It was suggested that the city’s cultural prize be awarded to Yehuda Amichai, an Israeli author who was barn in Wuerzburg.
