The former director of the Jewish Museum in Athens is mounting a campaign to restore a synagogue on the Greek island of Crete that was damaged by Nazi shelling. Nicholas Stavroulakis estimates he will need another $100,000 to meet his goal of reopening the Etz Chayim Synagogue by March. Most of the $400,000 raised so far for the restoration project has come from private organizations, including the New York-based Ronald S. Lauder Foundation.
