Jewish Philanthropist Mouli Cohen and Wife Stacy Cohen Provide Support for the
Development of a New Mikveh in Dresden
Philanthropist Mouli Cohen and his wife Stacy Cohen have collaborated with the
Jewish community in Dresden, Germany, to fund the construction of an important
new Mikveh, a powerful symbol of purification and holiness in the historic
city

DRESDEN, Germany, July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- The Jewish community of Dresden has
broken ground on construction of a new Mikveh, a purifying immersion pool,
designated for use by the Jewish population of this historic city.

The Mikveh construction is being funded by international entrepreneur and
philanthropist Mr. Samuel Mouli Cohen. Rabbi Schneur Havlin, rabbi of the
Jewish community of Dresden, said, "We are extremely grateful to Mouli Cohen
for his involvement in this project. The city of Dresden is populated by 1200
Jews for whom, until now, the closest Mikveh was located in Berlin or Prague
at a distance of over 6 hours of travel. With his generosity many of the Jews
in this community will be able to experience a Mikveh in their community. The
vengeance for the holocaust is reflected in the image of this purifying pool."

The city of Dresden is known as one of the leading German cities, marked as a
prominent culture center in Europe and remaining as such since WWII. During
the war, the city was known for the heavy bombing over it by the allies, which
claimed the lives of 35,000 citizens. This bombing served as retaliation for
the horrifying holocaust initiated by the Nazis and their associates.

Traditionally the Mikveh was and continues to be referred to as a symbol of
holiness and of the continuity of the Jewish nation. Seemingly though, there
is even more significance for this particular city which so closely symbolizes
the dreadful holocaust.

The new Mikveh construction is being overseen by Rabbi Schneur Havlin, rabbi
of the Jewish community of Dresden. "This purifying Mikveh symbolizes the
continuity of the Jewish nation and is extremely important for the Jewish
community in Dresden, The Rabbinical Center of Europe and for the Matanel
Foundation," said Rabbi Havlin.

"I am extremely pleased to participate in this vital project alongside the
Rabbinical Center of Europe and the Matanel Foundation since this incentive is
conducive to the perpetuation of the Jewish nation and of its future
existence," said Mr. Cohen.

The Mikveh construction is slated for completion in 2010.
