Scores of rabbis from across Europe gathered in Warsaw, Poland on October 31 for the largest meeting of Jewish religious leaders in Poland since the community was virtually wiped out during World War II, the Huffington Post website reports today (November 3, 2011).
This year's three-day Conference of European rabbis focused on a range of issues affecting European and global Jewry, including attempts in Europe to ban the Jewish method of religious slaughter of animals.
Over the past 30 years, the Jewish population in Poland has grown from just a few thousand to over 20,000, the conference said.
Poland's Chief Rabbi Michael Schudrich called the gathering of about 150 rabbis "a real testament to the revival of Jewish life in Poland."
