l Russian and Swiss Businessmen Meet at Synagogue l European Jewish Congress elects Moshe Kantor for president

Moshe Kantor was elected president of the European Jewish Congress by the EJC General Assembly on Tuesday June 26 with 55 votes against 30 votes for Pierre Besnainou, EJC’s first elected president. 87 delegates from 40 Jewish communities from throughout participated in the vote. There were two abstentions.

Moshe Kantor, the Chairman of the European Jewish Fund and president of the Russian Jewish Congress, told the assembly he was a “true believer in European Jewry” and evaluated that European Jews were strong enough to address the many challenges they are facing : anti-Semitism, assimilation and dangers Israel is facing : the Iranian nuclear threat and terror. “I will never compromise with the security of Jews in Europe and with the security of Israel.” Declared Moshe Kantor.

World Jewish Congress (WJC) newly elected president Ronald S. Lauder attended the general assembly with Matthew Bronfman, Chairman of the WJC Governing Board, and stressed the importance of the EJC.

“It is essential that the Jewish people remain united in a period where anti-Semitism is on the rise, a period where Israel is under siege by Hamas and Hizbollah, a period where the Gaza Strip is controlled by Hamas which is encouraged by Iran.” Said Ronald S Lauder.

M. Lauder stressed the importance of education and the need to strengthen inter-religious meetings. The WJC President revealed that he has received a letter from Moroccan King Abdullah calling for strengthened ties between Muslims and Jews.
