After the death of the Mayor of Ioannina, Moses Elisaf, the Municipal Council is convened in an extraordinary meeting. The meeting for the performance of honor will take place tomorrow Saturday at 11 am in the ground floor hall of the City Hall.

The Municipality of Ioannito decided to cancel all events – cultural and sports – that are held under its auspices and are part of the city’s Freedom program.

The funeral of Moses Elisaf will take place on Sunday at 13:00 at the Holy Synagogue of Ioannina. His family will receive condolences at the same place.

It is the family’s wish that instead of wreaths, donations be made to the Holy Synagogue.

Statement of the governor of Epirus

“The loss of the Mayor of Ioannina, Moises Elisaf, causes great sadness and creates a great void in the city’s society. He passionately served medical science, the University of Ioannina and the University Hospital until the day of his election to the office of mayor” the Epirus regional governor points out in a statement Mr. Al. Kahrimanis. And he adds, “I had the pleasure of working with him for many years, on matters concerning the Jewish community of which he was the main support for many decades. During his 3 years as Mayor, I had the opportunity to see his great love and vision for the city and his drive to solve problems and launch important interventions to improve the daily life of citizens. Unfortunately, first for him and then for the city, he left early leaving unfulfilled his plans and dreams for a better future, as he himself had imagined. Condolences to his family.”
