President, Conference of European Rabbis - Pinchas Goldschmidt

The Interview

Available for over a year

There is plenty of disturbing data pointing to a significant rise in overt anti-Semitism in Europe and the United States. What are the reasons and how should the Jewish community respond? How much reassurance and protection is being offered to Jews whose past has so often been written in blood? HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur speaks to Pinchas Goldschmidt, Chief Rabbi of Moscow and president of the Conference of European Rabbis. Is rising anti-Semitism a symptom of a liberal democratic order that is starting to crumble? Image: Pinchas Goldschmidt (Credit: Mikhail Tereshchenko/TASS via Getty Images)
