“The
possibility of dismantling the EU and reverting back to nation states should
worry all Jewish people around Europe…. A strong European union is a paramount
interest to the Jewish people of Europe in general and to Jewish people of
Germany in particular.”
THE
ALGEMEINER – Chabad-Lubavitch movement Rabbi Yehuda Teichtal, rabbi of the
Jewish Community of Berlin, has called on European rabbis to “help save the
European Union” after the United Kingdom voted to exit the 28-country bloc.
Teichtal made his comments in a meeting with the parliamentary head of the
Social Democratic Party (SDP), which is the second-largest political party in
Germany.
Teichtal said he is calling on other European rabbis and Jewish leaders
to “take action” against other member nations potentially choosing to
leave the EU.
“I call upon the leaders of all Jewish communities around Europe to do
whatever they can and execute all of their influence, in order to prevent any
other countries from leaving the EU,” Teichtel said. “The possibility of
dismantling the EU and reverting back to nation states should worry all Jewish
people around Europe…. A strong European union is a paramount interest to the
Jewish people of Europe in general and to Jewish people of Germany in
particular.”
Teichtal also expressed concern over “the strengthening of nationalism
and of extreme right-wing parties and movements” in the UK, and said that
“the Jewish community in Berlin joins a great number of Jewish community
leaders from all over Europe who expressed their sorrow over the UK’s decision,”
The Jewish Press reported.
