    The Mordechai Navi Jewish Community Center, located on Nar-Dos
    Street, has been re-opened after major renovations to the building
    and installation of new office equipment

    Sponsoring the project was local Armenian businessman David Galstyan.

    Those attending the opening ceremony included the Assistant to the
    President of Armenia, the Head of the Department of Religious Affairs
    and National Minorities of Armenia, and Armenia's Minister of Culture.

    >From Moscow, Rabbi Dovid Karpov of the "Darkei Shalom" Synagogue in
    Otradnoye was the representative. He was also the representative of
    Chief Rabbi of Russia Berel Lazar, who is also the Head of the Board
    of Rabbis of the CIS Countries, who was unable to attend.

    In his speech, Chief Rabbi of Armenia Gershon Burstein - who is also
    a Chabad-Lubavitch emissary serving in this region - highlighted the
    enthusiasm and professionalism demonstrated by the builders under
    the direction of Nikolai Khachaturov, a businessman in the field of
    construction and a friend of David Galstyan.

    There are an estimated 1,000 Jews residing in Armenia today. The
    Jewish community of Armenia dates back almost 2,000 years, to the
    time of King Tigranes the Great.
