EUPJ Statement

Tragedy in Sydney

Posted on 14 Dec, 18:59

Dear Larry Lockshin and Danny Hochberg

To our friends in the UPJ we want you to know, on behalf of us all at EUPJ, that we stand beside you following the appalling tragedy on the first night of Chanukah.

What is a festival celebrating light and freedom to worship has been turned into a day of shock and extreme sadness.

We pray that the memories of those who perished will be for a blessing.

With our very best wishes.

Rabbi Lea Mühlstein, EUPJ Chair
Miriam Kramer, EUPJ President

Ten Minutes of Torah Védtelenül, lélekben mégis erősen Rabbi Lea Mühlstein (Magyar Eszter Spitzer) A József-történet ősi elbeszélésében egy feltűnő ellentmondással találkozunk. A fáraó udvaroncai, a hatalom és rang megtestesítői háttérbe szorulnak egy idegen rabszolga kedvéért, akinek látszólag semmiféle érdeme nincs. Mégis, éppen József címek, származás és...
