According to a report by The Jerusalem Post, since the beginning of their country’s invasion of Ukraine, Russia’s rabbis have chosen to stay with their communities while calling for peace. This is in contrast to many non-Jewish clergies, who either openly praise the incursion or have chosen to escape the country.
At the conference, the rabbis will pledge to “continue leading their communities and not abandoning them during these difficult times,” the federation said, adding that they will also issue a joint appeal for peace and an immediate end to the bloodshed.
The federation’s conference comes less than a week after the sentencing of Jewish anti-Putin politician, Leonid Gozman, who will receive prison time for comparing Joseph Stalin’s regime to that of the Nazis.
