A new community center was inaugurated last Sunday night in the city of Grenoble. The new center, which includes a cafeteria, meeting halls and modern audio-visual equipment, was built with the city’s financial help. The Grenoble Municipal Council will also pay part of the Jewish center’s operating expenses. Deputy Mayor Maurice Verlhac said at the inauguration ceremony that the city “has assumed the moral obligation to help its Jewish community run its communal installations.” There are 8000 Jews in the city.
