The annual council meeting of the Rabbinical Centre of Europe took place last week in Moscow, with the participation of twenty Rabbanim who are members of the presidium and the Rabbinical Council of the RCE, representing all the Rabbanim of Europe.
For the third year, a conference was held in which dozens of young rabbis from all over Europe participated. The European Young Rabbis’ Forum was initiated and is sponsored by the Rabbinical Centre of Europe. The three-day conference, beginning on June 16 (18 Sivan) and held in Amsterdam, was graced by highly professional leading lecturers, speaking on topics related to Jewish education, marriage, counseling and fund-raising.
Some 300 Rabbanim, including Dayanim, Chief Rabbis, community rabbis, and congregational rabbis, from all sectors and from 40 different European countries, convened last week in Budapest, Hungary. The convention’s main theme was a series of discussions, led by Europe’s leading rabbis, about the challenge of widespread assimilation that is eating away at Jewish communities, and the many halachic problems that accompany this issue.
The RCE presented Hungary’s President János Ader a collection of rare coins that were minted in Hungary by local Jews 800 years ago, “symbolizing the historic connection between the Jews and Hungary.”
