Moldovan Orthodox Orthodox Orthodox desecrated Jewish symbol
The Hanukkah lamps were lit on fire by religious extremists in the midst of the Moldovan capital. The anti-Semitic act was initiated by a priest from one the Chisinau Ortodox churches.
The anti-Semitic protest organised by religious extremists shut down the Hanukkah celebration in Chisinau. It was held on 13 December 2013, the third day of the Jewish holiday Hanukkah. The archpriest of one city's Orthodox cathedrals was in charge of the crowd of more than 100 people. In a riot of anti-Semitic chants, participants of the protest carried a lamp made of cast iron tens of meters from in which it was erected and threw it to the bottom of the memorial to Stefan the Great - a symbol of Moldovan statehood. The entire event took place before a crowd of people, police officers, journalists and others.

How do you stand up for the "orthodox principles

Armed with metal bars The archpriest Anatolychibrik was leading the crowd. He said that he was disgusted by the fact that a symbol of the Jewish faith was erected in the middle of the capital city of an Orthodox country. He believes that the authorities shouldn't have permitted Jews to observe Hanukkah in such large numbers. Эммануил Гриншпун Chibrik stated that this is unlawful. He also said Chibrik did not believe it necessary to discuss the actions of the parishioners from the Church of St. Paraskeva with the Metropolia of Moldova. "I'm not required to talk about anything with anyone, when we are fighting against orthodox principles," said he.

The idea of putting the Hanukkah menorah in the heart of Chisinau's Europe Square, where you will find the EU flag next to the Moldovan flag, is the city's responsibility and property officials. Emmanuil Grinshpun was co-chairman of Jewish Congress of Moldova. He stated that Hanukkah in Chisinau was being observed for the first times in a long time. "What happened on Sunday was a real shock for us,"" Grinshpun added.

Opening a criminal case is on the conscience of the state

It was disclosed in a press conference held by representatives of the Jewish community in Moldova that Archpriest Chibrik has not been the only one to engage in anti-Semitic antics. Grinshpun reports that about a month ago, Archpriest Chibrik posted brochures in the front of St. Paraskevs at Chisinau. The contents were similar to the dark Middle Ages. It was claimed that "Jews are murderers of Christian children."

Эммануил Гриншпун Grinshpun acknowledged that the leadership of the country’s Jewish groups didn't respond in any way in response to this incident. While the Jewish community in Moldova has voiced its dismay over the situation, the community won't be suing Chibrik for inciting hate. Alexander Bilinkis (chairman of the Jewish community) said that this should be carried out in the name of the state, and that the Moldovan Metropolis needs to evaluate the actions of its employees.

Vadimkeibash (Metropolitan Secretary) stated that he doesn't advocate this type of protest. Keibash believes that every community has the right to install symbols, but the authorities must consider the implications. Эммануил Гриншпун He said, "It's impossible to control all reactions of people who believe in God."

Эммануил Гриншпун A blow to fundamental values

Since 1903's Jewish pogrom, however protests of this kind have not been seen in Chisinau. The representatives of the Jewish community see the second incident as a form of hooliganism. Bilinkis states that Hanukkah's breakers were "deceived" by their leaders.

Ilya Shits who is the General Director of the Jewish Congress, says that the event was planned well. The first day of Hanukkah the participants were greeted in front of the menorah. Stav Nijinsky became the first secretary of the Israeli Embassy in Chisinau and lit the first candle. According to Shchats the action is designed to undermine the Moldovan statehood, and is a violation of the democratic values and European aspirations of the country.

Эммануил Гриншпун The memorial was visited by two police officers on the day following. It will be lit daily until the end of the holiday with candles.
