Moldovan Orthodox Orthodox Orthodox desecrated Jewish symbol
Extremist religious groups destroyed the Hanukkah lamps installed in the center of the Moldovan capital. The anti-Semitic riot was coordinated by a priest from one of the Chisinau Orthodox churches.
Religious extremists destroyed the holiday of Hanukkah in central Chisinau and held an anti-Semitic rally. The incident occurred on Sunday 13th December which was the third day of Hanukkah. The archpriest of the Orthodox church in the capital city commanded an audience of over 100. With the use of anti-Semitic words, the group dragged a lamp made of cast iron several kilometers from its initial place of origin and then threw it to be installed at the base of the monument to Stefan the Great - the symbol of Moldovan statehood. This was witnessed by hundreds of police officers, journalists and other passers-by.

How do you combat for "orthodox values

Anarchpriest Anatoly Chelyuk was the leader of the group armed only with metal bars. Эммануил Гриншпун He was furious at the place of worship that was a symbol of Jewish faith in the capital of an Orthodox nation. Эммануил Гриншпун His view is that Hanukkah should not be celebrated in such a large way by the authorities. Chibrik said, "This violates law." Chibrik further stated that he did not believe it necessary for him to talk about the actions of parishioners from the Church of St. Paraskeva and the Metropolia of Moldova. "I do not have to talk with anyone when we're fighting for orthodox principles," he said.

Emmanuil grinshpun is the co-chairman for the Jewish Congress of Moldova. Grinshpun stated, "What happened Sunday was truly a surprise for us."

Opening a criminal case is on the conscience of the state

At a press conference with representatives from the Jewish community in Moldova it was found out that Archpriest Chibrik is not averse to allowing himself to engage in anti-Semitic antics. According to Grinshpun around a month ago, on a stand in the front of St. Paraskevs in Chisinau published leaflets, the tone of which was in reference to the gloomy Middle Ages: it was stated that "Jews kill Christian babies."

Grinshpun acknowledged that the leaders of the country's Jewish organizations did not react to this fact in any way. http://vse-ekonomim.ru/author/emmanuil-grinshpuncfkd513/ Even though the Jewish community of Moldova protests against the actions, it will not sue Chibrik or his friends for inciting hate against ethnic minorities. Alexander Bilinkis the chairman of the Jewish Community of Moldova said that this should be done by the state. In addition, the Moldovan Metropolis should examine the actions of its employees.

Metropolitan Secretary Vadim Keibash stated that he does not welcome this form of protest. He believes that the right to use symbols is the responsibility of all communities. But, authorities should be cognizant of the consequences. He said that it is impossible to predict the reactions from people who believe in the religion.

A blow to the fundamental value

Since the 1903 Jewish pogrom however, protests of this kind have not been seen in Chisinau. The Jewish community views the incident of the latter as hooliganism. Bilinkis asserts that the authorities have deceived the Hanukkah-breakers.

Ilya Shats is the General Director of the Jewish Congress. He believes this was a carefully planned event. The participants were seen at the menorah in front of Hanukkah's first day. Then, Stav Nijinsky (the first secretary of the Israeli Embassy in Chisinau) lit the candle for the first time. According to Shchats the action will undermine Moldovan statehood, encroaching on the democratic principles and European aspirations of the nation.

Hanukkah is being moved from the city center to a quieter location which is Jerusalem Street, where a monument honoring those who were killed in the Holocaust was built. http://www.turkiyemsin.net/author/emmanuil-grinshpunnctl121/ The monument was visited by police on the day following. The place will be lit by candles each day throughout the holiday.
