In
September 2014 - David Gelfand kindly wrote and compiled a large
225-page document which provides historical information on the Jewish
Communities of Harare (formerly Salisbury) including details of
committee members and other national and local committees. He visited
the relevant archives in Jerusalem and spent many many hours
collating and producing this important record. The ZJC are forever
grateful to David for the time and effort he invested in this project. Click here to view/download the PDF file. Please note and respect copyright.
