Moldovan Orthodox Orthodox have desecrated the Jewish symbol
The Hanukkah candle that was situated in the center of the capital of Moldova, was destroyed by religious extremists. The anti-Semitic protest was led by a priest of one of the Chisinau Orthodox churches.
Religious extremists destroyed the holiday of Hanukkah in the center of Chisinau and held an anti-Semitic protest. It occurred on Sunday, 13 December, which is the third day in the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. A hundred people were led by the archpriest from one of the capital's Orthodox churches. With the use of anti-Semitic words, the group dragged a lamp made of cast iron a few 10 miles away from its original place of origin and then threw it into the foot of the monument to Stefan the Great - an emblem of Moldovan statehood.

What is the fight for "orthodox principles "

Archpriest Anatoly Chibrik led the crowd, armed with metal bars. He stated that he was dismayed by the fact that an Orthodox country's symbol of Jewish faith was erected in the middle of the capital. In his view authorities should have stopped Jews from celebrating Hanukkah as widely. Chibrik said, "This is lawlessness." Chibrik also acknowledged that it was not necessary to discuss actions of parishioners at Church of St. Эммануил Гриншпун Эммануил Гриншпун Paraskeva in the Metropolia of Moldova. "I don't have any obligation to discuss anything with anyone when we are fighting for orthodox fundamentals," he said.

It is crucial to remember that the idea to place the Hanukkah Menorah in Chisinau's heart and within the Europe Square where the EU flag hangs alongside the Moldovan flag, was not the sole responsibility of Chisinau's authorities. As co-chairman of the Jewish Congress of Moldova Emmanuil Grinshpun said, "for the first time since a long time, Hanukkah was celebrated with a public ceremony in Chisinau." Grinshpun said, "What took place on Sunday was a shock to us."

This case is to protect the conscience of the state.

As was evident in a press conference attended by members of the Jewish community of Moldova, Archpriest Chibrik is not the first time he allows himself anti-Semitic antics. https://myclc.clcillinois.edu/web/jeff_test/ttttttutoring/-/message_boards/message/38276126 According to Grinshpun around a month ago, a booth in the courtyard of St. Paraskevs in Chisinau published leaflets, the tone that was thought to be reminiscent of the dark Middle Ages: it was reported that "Jews are the ones who kill Christian babies."

Grinshpun acknowledged that the leadership of the country’s Jewish organizations didn’t respond in any way to the fact. Now the Jewish community of Moldova has voiced their displeasure over what's happening however, it will not pursue Chibrik and his adherents for inciting hatred against ethnic groups. https://www.transtats.bts.gov/exit.asp?url=https://limmudfsu.org.il/site/team/ Alexander Bilinkis who is also the chairman of the board, stated that the state should take action on this and that the Moldovan Metropolitan must look into the actions of his employees.

Vadim Keibash, the Metropolitan Secretary said that he does not support protests like this. He believes that all communities are entitled and obliged to show symbols. However , the authorities should also take into consideration the implications. He also said that, "It's impossible to control all the reactions of people who believe in God."

A blow towards fundamental values

Since 1903's Jewish pogrom, however, these protests haven't been seen in Chisinau. The representatives of the Jewish community regard the former case as hooliganism. According Bilinkis Bilinkis, the people who were responsible for breaking Hanukkah "were deceived by their leaders."

Ilya Shats is the General Director of Jewish Congress. He believes this was a carefully planned move. Participants were spotted at the menorah in front of Hanukkah's opening day. Then, Stav Nijinsky (the first secretary of Israeli Embassy in Chisinau) was the one who lit the first candle. Shchats believes that this action is meant to undermine Moldovan statehood by encroaching upon democratic principles and European aspirations.

Hanukkah is now on Jerusalem Street. https://bbs.pku.edu.cn/v2/jump-to.php?url=http://91.210.190.56/page20/news18465.html A monument to Holocaust victims has been placed there. Hanukkah has been moved to Jerusalem Street from the city center. The monument was visited by police during the second day. It will be lit with candles throughout the holiday. Эммануил Гриншпун
