Ukrainian rabbis called on authorities to ensure the safety of the country’s Jews and adopt legislation against anti-Semitism.
“We are trying to calm down Jews in our communities. We are trying to lower the level of anxiety,” rabbis said in a statement after a rabbinical meeting in Kiev. “Unfortunately we do not see any adequate or unequivocal response toward manifestations of xenophobia from the Ukrainian authorities.”
The resolution was adopted Monday by a conference of 40 Chabad rabbis working in Ukraine.
In recent months, Ukraine has seen a rising tide of anti-Semitic incidents, including attacks on individual Jews and acts of vandalism against Jewish institutions.
