French Rabbis urge government to boost security around Jewish institutions
  • 8 years ago
Following Friday night's bloodbath in Paris, Jewish leaders are demanding that the continent's leaders offer special security to the Jewish communities, "which are under constant threats."
Europe's rabbis expressed their "deep shock" Saturday evening "in light of the terrible massacre committed against citizens of all religions on Friday night." Rabbi Korsia and Rabbi Moshe Levin, CER's executive director and rabbi of the French National Gendarmerie, said they had spoken to French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve and received a promise "to significantly boost security around and within the country's Jewish institutions." "This is war," they said. "There are still terrorists walking around freely, and the security forces have instructed Paris' citizens to remain in their homes and only go out on urgent cases.
