EU leaders do not guarantee conditions for the Jewish way of life, the European Rabbi stated.



The President of the Council of Rabbis of Europe Pinchas Goldschmidt said that that modern Europe does not provide Jewish communities with a guarantee that
they will be able to lead their usual way of life. Rabbi explained that the main issue was the prohibition of shechita in Belgium.

European leaders tell us that they want Jewish communities to live and did well in Europe, but they do not provide a guarantee for our way of life, Rabbi Goldschmidt emphasised. Europe needs to think about what kind of continent it wants to be, he added.

According to the Rabbi the values ​​such as freedom of religion are an integral part of European values, but the current political system clearly does not reflect it and needs to be revised.

normal life for the European Jews

And now we are again faced with a situation where, without asking the Jewish community, a ban is introduced, the consequences of which will be long and
destructive, Rabbi Goldschmidt stressed.

In 2017, the two main Belgian regions Flanders and Wallonia took laws banning shechita and halal slaughter of livestock under the pretext of protecting rights
animals from abuse. In December 2020, the European Court of Justice the highest court of the European Union, recognized the legality of these decisions.

Jewish communities perceive the ban as a non-friendly gesture.
