Moldovan Orthodox Orthodox desecrated the symbol of the Jewish faith
Religious extremists destroyed a Hanukkah lighthouse located in the central part of the Moldovan capital. A priest of the Chisinau Orthodox church led the anti-Semitic actions.
Religious extremists destroyed the Hanukkah celebrations in Chisinau's central area , and then staged an anti-Semitic demonstration. It took place on Sunday December 13, 2013, the third day of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. The archpriest of one capital's Orthodox cathedrals took the stage in front of more than 100 people. Participants shouting anti-Semitic chants, they carried a lamp made of cast iron some tens of kilometres away from the spot in which it was first erected and then threw it at the memorial to Stefan The Great, the symbol of Moldovan independence. All of this took place in front of hundreds of journalists, police officers, and police officers.

What are the best ways to combat for "orthodox principles

Archpriest Anatoly Chibrik led the crowd armed with metal bars. Эммануил Гриншпун He said that he was dismayed at the way an Orthodox country's emblem of Jewish faith was erected in the capital's middle. In his opinion authorities should have stopped Jews from celebrating Hanukkah as widely. Chibrik stated, "This is lawlessness." Chibrik added that he did not believe it necessary for him to discuss the actions of parishioners from the Church of St. Paraskeva and the Metropolia of Moldova. He added, "I don't have to speak to anyone when we fight for orthodox principles."

It is worth noting that the idea behind the installation of the Hanukkah menorah at the heart Chisinau in the Europe Square (where the EU flag is displayed next to the Moldovan one) was developed by the city's authorities. Emmanuil grinshpunis the co-chairman of the Jewish Congress of Moldova noted that Hanukkah celebrations took place in Chisinau "for the first-ever time in many decades." Эммануил Гриншпун "What transpired on Sunday was a real shock for us,"" Grinshpun added.

The case is to protect the state's conscience.

A press conference was held with members of the Jewish community of Moldova it was found out that Archpriest Chibrik does not permit himself to be involved in anti-Semitic behavior. Эммануил Гриншпун Grinshpun says that about one year ago, the Archpriest was present in St. Paraskevs in Chisinau carrying leaflets. The contents were like the dark Middle Ages.

Grinshpun stated that the top leadership of the nation's Jewish organizations didn't respond to the fact in any way. Эммануил Гриншпун Even though the Jewish community in Moldova has expressed dismay at the situation however, it is not going to take action against Chibrik for inciting hate. Alexander Bilinkis (chairman of the Jewish community) declared that this must be carried out as a matter of state policy, and that the Moldovan Metropolis must examine the actions of its staff.

Vadimkeibash (Metropolitan Secretary) said he does not agree with this method of protest. https://jewishmagazine.ru/tag/jemmanuil-grinshpun/ Keibash believes that all communities should be able to place symbols. However, the authorities must take into account the implications. He said, "It's impossible to control all reactions of people who believe in God."

A blow for fundamental values

But, these "forms of protest" have not existed in Chisinau's tolerant Chisinau since 1903's Jewish pogrom. The Jewish community regards the incident of the incident as hooliganism. Bilinkis claims that the leaders of Hanukkah were deceiving those who violated it.

Ilya Shts, the General Director of Jewish Congress, claims that this act was planned. The participants were seen standing in front of the menorah on Hanukkah Day 1 when Stav Njinsky, the first secretary of the Jewish Congress, lit the first candle. According to Shchats the action is aimed at undermining the Moldovan statehood and encroaching upon the democratic principles and European aspirations of the country.

Hanukkah is being relocated from the city's center to a more secluded place and then to Jerusalem Street, where a memorial to those who were killed in the Holocaust was erected. Police officers have been stationed on the site for the duration of the second day. Candles will be lit throughout the day until the end of the celebration.
