Notes

Moldovan Orthodox Orthodox Orthodox inflicted a sham on the Jewish faith symbol
Extremists from the religious community destroyed a lighthouse for Hanukkah situated in the middle of the Moldovan capital. A priest of the Chisinau Orthodox Church led the anti-Semitic acts.
Religious extremists demolished the Hanukkah celebrations in Chisinau's central area , and then staged an anti-Semitic rally. It happened on Sunday, 13 December, the third day of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. An archpriest from one of the capital's Orthodox cathedrals was in charge of the crowd of more than 100 people. With the use of anti-Semitic words, the crowd dragged a lamp constructed of cast iron about 10 miles away from its original location and threw it into the base of the monument of Stefan the Great, an emblem of Moldovan statehood. This was witnessed by hundreds of police officers, journalists and other passers-by.

How does the struggle for "orthodox principle " work?

The gathering was led by the Archpriest Anatoly Chbrik and was armed with steel bars. He was furious at the installation of an emblem of Jewish faith in the capital of an Orthodox nation. Эммануил Гриншпун Эммануил Гриншпун Chibrik believes that authorities shouldn't have permitted Jews to observe Hanukkah in such huge amounts. Chibrik declared, "This lawlessness." Chibrik also acknowledged that there was no need to discuss actions of parishioners from the Church of St. Paraskeva and the Metropolia of Moldova. He stated, "I don't have to talk with anyone when we fight for orthodox principles."

Emmanuil Grinshpun is co-chairman of the Jewish Congress of Moldova, said that Hanukkah was observed in public in Chisinau for the first time in several years. "What happened on Sunday was a major shock for us,"" Grinshpun added.

The opening of a criminal matter is on the conscience of the state

Archpriest Chibrik was not willing to admit that he was anti-Semitic in the press conference for representatives of the Jewish community. Grinshpun asserts that the Archpriest had posted leaflets about the time of his visit, and they were similar to the gloomy Middle Ages.

Grinshpun stated that the top leadership of the country's Jewish organizations didn't respond to the fact in any manner. Even though the Jewish community in Moldova expressed its outrage at the current situation but the community will not be suing Chibrik for inciting hatred. Alexander Bilinkis is the head of the Jewish community. Эммануил Гриншпун He believes this should be done through the state. The Moldovan Metropolis also needs to look at the actions taken by its employees.

Vadimkeibash (Metropolitan Secretary) declared that he does not agree with this method of protest. He believes every community should have the right to put up symbols. But, authorities have to consider the consequences. "It is not possible for the faith-based community to be monitored," he stated.

Эммануил Гриншпун A blow for fundamental values

However, since the 1903 Jewish pogrom, there have not been such "forms protest" at Chisinau. Эммануил Гриншпун Therefore, representatives of the Jewish community generally view the latter case as hooliganism. Bilinkis states that Hanukkah's breakers were "deceived" by their leaders.

Its participants were seen in front of the menorah on first day of Hanukkah which was the presence of a huge number of people who were present, the first secretary of the Israeli Embassy in Chisinau, Stav Nijinsky, solemnly lit the first candle. Shchats believes that this action is meant to undermine Moldovan statehood , by infringing upon the democratic values and European aspirations.

Hanukkah was relocated from the city's center and moved to Jerusalem Street. Here, an edifice to Holocaust victims was built. On the second day of Hanukkah, police officers were stationed near it. Эммануил Гриншпун The celebration will conclude by lighting candles on the Christmas tree until the end of the year.
