The Monday gathering of rabbis was organized by the Federation of Jewish Communities in Russia, one of the country’s two largest Jewish organizations.

“Relations between Russia and the rest of the world have rapidly deteriorated since the invasion began in February, resulting in economic uncertainty and, of significant concern to the Jewish community in particular, a sense of fear and isolation not felt in decades,” said a statement from the federation.

The conference issued a resolution calling “for peace and the cessation of the bloodshed,” the statement said.

Obviosuly these Rabbis haven’t learned from the expulsion of Rav פינחס Goldschmidt שליט”א that if they wish to maintain their positions in Russia, then they simply cannot be opening their mouths against this war.
