RITAM GRADA RHYTHM OF THE TOWN

SUKAT ŠALOM SUKKAT SHALOM

J evrejska zajednica cvetala je tokom 17. veka, kada je izgrađeno i nekoliko sinagoga, od ko- jih su dve bile u Zemunu. Sefardska je srušena u bombardovanju Beograda 1944, dok se aške- naškoj namena prepoznaje samo po preživelim obelež- jima. Aktivna je samo sinagoga u Ulici maršala Birjuzo- va. Kamen temeljac položen je 1924, zgrada je završena sledeće godine, a svečano osvećenje obavljeno u leto 1926, kada je okončano unutrašnje uređenje hrama. Reč je o hramu aškenaskog obreda u čije je temelje uzida- na dvojezična, hebrejsko-srpska povelja koju su potpi- sali rabin Šlang, kralj Aleksandar Karađorđević i kralji- ca Marija. Naziv Sukat šalom, Koliba mira, sinagoga je dobila 2002. i danas služi kao jedini hram u Beogradu u kojem se subotom zbiraju vernici željni znanja iz Tal- muda i drugih svetih predanja.

B elgrade’s Jewish community flourished during the sev- enteenth century, when several synagogues were also built, two of which were in Zemun. The Sephardic syn- agogue was destroyed in the bombing of Belgrade in 1944, while the purpose of the Ashkenazi synagogue can only be recognised by its surviving characteristics. The city’s only ac- tive synagogue is located in Marshal Birjuzova Street. The foun- dation stone was laid in 1924 and the building was finished the following year, while the formal consecration was performed in the summer of 1926, when the interior decoration of the temple was completed. It is an Ashkenazi temple, with its foundations containing a bilingual, Hebrew-Serbian Charter that was signed by Rabbi Šlang, King Aleksandar Karađorđević and Queen Mari- ja. This synagogue was granted the name Sukkat Shalom, rough- ly hut of peace, in 2002, and today it serves as the only Jewish temple in Belgrade, where believers eager to learn from the Tal- mud and other sacred traditions congregate each Saturday.
