Bat-Mitzvah In Subotica
News of the re-dedication of the synagogue in Belgrade, twenty years after its destruction by the Nazis during World War II, has tended to overshadow the re-opening of another synagogue in Yugoslavia, a much smaller one, in Subotica, at about the same time.
There* are now 6,500 Jews living in Yugoslavia, a fragment of the 76,000 who inhabited the country when the war broke out. The Nazi occupation cost the life of 62,000 Jews, or 82% of the entire population. After the war, more than 8,-000 Yugoslav Jews emigrated to

Israel.
Subotica lids in the extreme northeastern comer of the country, and has an overall population of 115,400 and a Jewish population of 420. In the city there are ten Jewish girls of confirmation age. The tiny Jewish community, in celebration of the reopening of their centuries-old synagogue, decided that the highlight of their re-dedication ceremonies would be the bat-mitzvah of these girls. Regretfully there were no boys in that age group to participate in the dedication. In the years since the end of the war only one male child observed his bar-mitzvah in Subotica. The ten grew to fifteen because three girls of the same age group were discovered in nearby Novi-Sad and two more in the little town of Vrabas.
It was a beautiful occasion. The girls were lovely in their white dresses. The Israeli Ambassador to Yugoslavia gave a touching and stirring address. Because females cannot be called up to read from the Torah, the girls took turns in reading portions from the Prophets. Each girl carried a flower in her hand and each one of them had around her neck a silver

In the immediate post-war years the JDC was caring for 9,000 Jews in Yugoslavia, with funds provided by the United Jewish Appeal. The community has recovered sufficiently since then to take over a large part of its own welfare program, which is administered by. the , Yugoslavian Federation of Jewish Communities and subsidized by JDC and Claims Conference grants. Because so many of the survivors are aged and helpless, the principal welfare institution in the country is the home for the aged in Zagreb.
Survival, however, is not enough for the Jews of Yugoslavia. They wish to survive as Jews and to that end they have devoted a large part of their efforts and of their own financial means, as well as monies received from JDC and Claims Conference funds, to promoting Jewish life throughout Yugoslavia. They are organizing Jewish youth clubs, Jewish student groups, summer camps where for several weeks each year young Jews can live together and, as part of their daily life, observe Jewish traditions and study Judaism.
In addition, the community has been utilizing JDC and Claims Conference funds to rebuild synagogues which were destroyed during the Nazi occupation and left neglected all these years because the needs for physical welfare had to be given priority.
