‘He left Russia after refusing to support war’
(ANSA) – ROME, JUN 08 – The chief rabbi of Moscow, Pinchas Goldschmidt, fled Russia after being subjected to pressure to support the invasion of Ukraine. This was announced by Avital Chizhik-Goldschmidt, a journalist in the United States and daughter-in-law of the Jewish religious authority.
“I can finally make it known to everyone – writes the reporter on her Twitter account – that my in-laws have been put under pressure by the authorities to publicly support the ‘special operation’ in Ukraine and have refused to do so.
They fled to Hungary two weeks after the Russian invasion and are now in exile from the community they loved and built and in which they raised their children for over 33 years “, explains Chizhik-Goldschmidt. (ANSA).
