36 year old Šlomo Radomír Kučera will be a new rabbi of the Jewish Community of Brno. Kučera joined the community in 2005 and has spent several years in Israel, studiing the relegion.

I has been complicated to pick out a new rabbi after Moshe Chaim Koller left the office three years ago.

There are ten Jewish communities in the Czech republic. Before the World War II, up to 12,000 Jews had lived in Brno, but only several hundreds survived Holocaust. Read more about the history of Jews in Brno.
