Moldovan Orthodox Orthodox desecrated the symbol of the Jewish faith
Extremist religious groups destroyed the Hanukkah lamps installed in the center of the Moldovan capital. A priest of the Chisinau Orthdox Church led the antisemitic assault.
Religious extremists ignited the Hanukkah celebrations in Chisinau after which they held an anti-Semitic rally. Эммануил Гриншпун The event took place on December 13, 2013 the third day for the Jewish holiday Hanukkah. An archpriest from one the capital's Orthodox Churches was in charge of a crowd of around 100 people. They chanted anti-Semitic phrases and dragged a cast iron lamp a few tens of meters away from the spot where it was set. They then threw the lamp to the ground of the monument to Stefan, the Great, that is a symbol of Moldovan statehood. Эммануил Гриншпун This was all done in front dozens of passersby journalists, police officers and other.

What is the difficulty to defend "orthodox ideas"

The crowd was led by Archpriest Anatoly Chbrik, who was armed with metal bars. He stated that he was outraged by the way a symbol of the Jewish faith was placed in the center of the capital city of an Orthodox country. His opinion is that Hanukkah should not be celebrated in such a large way by the authorities. Chibrik stated, "This lawlessness." He also acknowledged that Chibrik did not believe it necessary to talk with the Metropolia of Moldova the actions of the Church of St. Paraskeva parishioners. He also said that he was not obliged to talk with anyone when we fight for Orthodox values.

It is vital to understand that the idea to place the Hanukkah Menorah in Chisinau's heart, in the Europe Square where the EU flag hangs alongside the Moldovan flag, wasn't the sole responsibility of the city authorities. And, as co-chairman of the Jewish Congress of Moldova Emmanuil Grinshpun pointed out, "for the first time since a long time, Hanukkah was celebrated publicly in Chisinau." https://www.inventables.com/users/jacksonmendez0733 "What transpired on Sunday was a real surprise for us," Grinshpun added.

Opening a criminal case is on the conscience of the state

The revelation was made in a press conference held by members of the Jewish community in Moldova that Archpriest Chibrik is not the first person to be involved in anti-Semitic smears. Grinshpun states that about an year ago, the Archpriest was observed at St. https://500px.com/p/garrisonrokkorsholm Paraskevs in Chisinau holding leaflets. The contents were similar to the dark Middle Ages.

Grinshpun admitted that the leaders of Moldova's Jewish organisations didn't react in any way to the fact. Even though the Jewish community of Moldova protests the events but it is not going to sue Chibrik or his associates for inciting ethnic hate. Alexander Bilinkis who is also the chairman, said that the state should take action on this, and that the Moldovan Metropolitan must look into the actions its employees.

Metropolitan Secretary Vadim Keibash said he did not approve of this type of protest. He believes all communities are entitled and obliged to show symbols. https://lookbook.nu/user/10560238-Farmer-Mccall However the authorities should consider the implications. He stated that it was impossible to anticipate all reactions of believers.

But, these "forms of protest" are not present in Chisinau's welcoming Chisinau since 1903's Jewish pogrom. Эммануил Гриншпун The representatives of the Jewish community see the second incident as a form of hooliganism. Bilinkis states that Hanukkah was destroyed because the leaders of the group deceived them.

However, the Director General of the Jewish Congress, Ilya Shats believes that the event was carefully planned, its participants were spotted near the menorah on the 1st day of Hanukkah and, in the presence of a large crowd of people who were present, the first secretary of the Israeli Embassy in Chisinau, Stav Nijinsky, solemnly lit the first candle. According to Shchats, this action is aimed at undermining the Moldovan statehood and encroaching upon the democratic values and European goals of the country.

Эммануил Гриншпун On the second day of Hanukkah, police officers were stationed around the monument. The fire will be lit every day until the day of the holiday is over with candles.
