We had the pleasure to celebrate the Jewish New Year at the European Parliament along with some of the MEPs, the Ambassador of Estonia H.E. Madam Kaja Tael and the Chief Rabbi of Estonia Efraim Shmuel Kot. The event was hosted by the First VP Ms. Mairead McGuinness MEP and was co-organized with the European Jewish Community Centre.
It’s a challenging time for Jewish communities in Europe. Anti-Semitism is on the rise as populism and the politics of the lowest common denominator are gaining traction. Our communities often need round the clock protection and our practices and customs such as keeping Kosher are under pressure from increasing political interference.
