Urgent Call for a Thorough Investigation into the Antisemitic Attack on Mr. Cohen

EJA Chairman, Rabbi Menachem Margolin, and his wife Chana have the honour of celebrating the Bar Mitzvah of their son Yaakov on Sunday 29 September at 17:00.

Bar Mitzvah is one of the most foundamental and special celebrations in Jewish life. It is celebrated when a boy turns 13 and it is one of the most important turning points since it is the day of acceptance of all the awesome responsibilities of Jewish life.

It is an opportunity to celebrate together a significant Jewish milestone and learn about one of the principal events in Jewish culture. During the current difficult and dark times when anti-Semitism is on the rise, it is undoubtedly important to celebrate a meaningful and happy event with all our distinguished guests.

It was a great pleasure to meet with our friend HE. Bálint Ódor to discuss areas of mutual co-operation and fighting antisemitism under the auspices of the Hungarian Presidency of the European Union.

We were greatly reassured to hear the Permanent Representative say that combatting antisemitism and protecting freedom of religion are two priority areas for the Presidency. Together we discussed a number of policy areas to work on.

Communications Minister Yoaz Hendel and UN Secretary-General António Guterres met in New York on Friday and agreed to join forces to combat hate speech, incitement and antisemitism online.
Hendel, who arrived in New York after a three-day visit to Washington DC, shared with Guterres news of the committee that he has decided to establish to review the status of social media networks in Israel and whether they can be defined as media organizations, thereby giving the courts the ability to hold them accountable for content that they publish.
“We are in a war for the truth and in stopping incitement and hate speech,” Hendel said. “Israel will be a pioneer in this battle.”
