The management of the museum has reversed their decision and confirmed that the Feher Jewish Music Center will continue its essential work under the leadership of Yuval Shaked. It is deeply heartening to see this commitment to preserving our musical heritage and I am truly grateful for the collective presence …

The Feher Jewish Music Center is severely and acutely endangered by the Management of Beth Hatefutsoth (The Nahum Goldmann Museum of the Jewish Diapora, Tel Aviv). The work of the sole musician at the Museum, Yuval Shaked, current Director of the Feher Jewish Music Center, had been terminated by the Management and will come to its end on March 31, 2008. Upon his dismissal the vast recording collection of the Center, the CD series it released and its unique databank � all renowned and highly esteemed world wide � will be abandoned. The contacts nourished by the FJMC with partner archives and institutions all over the world, its initiatives and intense endeavors on behalf of Jewish music of all kinds, places, times and styles (preservation & documentation) will all be neglected and destroyed. Various projects in progress will be stopped. Hard labor over many years will get lost. We therefore appeal to Beth Hatefutsoth's management to nullify its most regrettable and deplorable action, ensure Mr. Shaked's position and the maintenance of the recording collection and activities of the Feher Jewish Music Center for many years to come.

So sad to hear this news. The music center is world class and needs to stay exactly how it is.

TOTAL SHAME. Management needs to rethink this immediately. Protecting history should be the priority.

This is a disgrace. Yuval has done so much for our heritage. They cant just throw away years of hard work like this.
