“After all, a rabbi can’t be always giving to others. He needs to take some time to recharge his own batteries as well.”
We are pleased to announce that an RCE Halachah Hotline has been established, enabling rabbis to forward queries on any area of halachah to the esteemed members of the RCE’s rabbinical council. These council members have volunteered to make themselves available for the sake of the European communities.
On the last day of their stay in Russia, the member Rabbis of the RCE visited the city of Sevastopol in the Crimean peninsula, where a ceremony was held in memory of the thousands of Jews who were murdered in Crimea during the Holocaust. The Rabbanim flew directly from Moscow to Crimea on a special government flight. The ceremony was arranged under the auspices of the Russian government to honor the memory of 4,200 Jews, Hy”d, who were murdered in the Crimean peninsula.
“Esteemed Rabbis, I hereby commit myself to act firmly in response to any appearance of anti-Semitism here in Russia. Moreover, I am committed to strengthening the security of the Jewish communities here and to enable them to have complete freedom of activity. Russia will continue to say no to the neo-Nazi ideology, and no to any fascist ideologies.” So pledged Russian President Vladimir Putin last week at the conclusion of a meeting with a group of Rabbanim of the Rabbinical Centre of Europe.
