Rabbi Thanks Veterans for Defeating Nazis; Blasts National and Religious Hatred Groups

Chief Rabbi of Russia Berel Lazar thanked veterans of the Great Patriotic War for saving Russia and the whole world from Nazi slavery, the Interfax-Religion website reports today (May 7, 2010).

"Please, accept special gratitude from my people, from all Jews wherever they live now. We live because you risked your life in the years of war," the Rabbi said yesterday in his message to veterans.

Lazar urged veterans to continue the work they had started 65 years ago.

He told the veterans..."You struggled against atheistic ideology of hatred and murders. Our youths should realize the danger of any appeals to national or religious hatred."
