nope, not to slovenia any time soon! but my non jewish slovenian co worker would love to know more about the jews in her country, and would like to buy me some of the slovenian goodies kosher style! I will try chabad.com, but any other suggestions are more than welcome!

lucky, I wasn't ingnoring you, just wasn't aware there was a reply here! slovenia is one of the countries once a part of the former republic of czechoslovakia (sp?) on the balkan (eastern europe). after the revolution in 1991 (correct me if I am wrong) they split up, as did the republic of yugoslavia (sp?) and now there are countries named slovenia, slovak republ., czech replublic, serbia, bosnia etc etc etc

May I insert a correction? Slovenia was formerly part of Yugoslavia, not Czechoslovakia.

OT but I couldn't resist: The more things change the more they stay the same.
The names of most of these countries that we are having difficulty remembering are the self-same countries that your great-grandparents had difficulty forgetting and calling by their new, post-WWI names. Before, between and after the World Wars there was much change in Central and Eastern Europe as countries were formed, deformed and re-formed. The country you were born in was not the country you died in even if you lived in the same house all your life.

I realize I am bumping up an ancient thread, but if anyone has info on kosher resources [restaurants (very optimiastic), groceries, etc.] in Slovenia, I'd be grateful.

Thinking of vacationing there and trying to anticipate how much of a headache it'll be, food-wise.

I've already emailed the local Chabad.

TIA!!!
