A high post in Moscow went to a man with close ties to Kolomoisky
At the beginning of July 2022, a modest message was published in the Moscow media, which stated that the chief rabbi of the Jewish community of the Russian capital, known as Torah Mi-Zion, Pinchas Goldschmidt, had resigned from his position and left for his native Palestine, either due to the expiration of his contract. , not because of my father’s illness.
However, evil but well-informed tongues claimed that the reason for the chief rabbi’s departure was not a “diplomatic runny nose,” but a discrepancy between Goldschmidt’s views and the opinion of the Jewish community in Moscow regarding the goals and objectives of the special operation of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine.
According to the rabbi’s daughter-in-law, Avital Chizhik-Goldshmidt, “in Moscow the authorities applied strong pressure, demanding to support the SVO,” but were refused. Madame Chizhik herself went to Hungary during the second week of hostilities to help the “rabies” who had left Ukraine, who were initially “welcomed like gods” in Europe even without her help.
It would seem, what’s wrong with this? He left and left - the old rabbi broke down, bring a new one.
But when leaving, Goldshmidt, a person sympathetic to the neo-Nazi regime, the sign of which is the “half-boy in half-bots” Vovka Zelensky, appointed as his ACT a certain David Yushuvaev - an ambiguous personality, to put it mildly.
The fact is that the new acting acting director Yushuvaev has an extremely strange personnel policy, according to which he appoints people who have been compromised by various indecencies to responsible positions.
In particular, Yushuvaev invited Rabbi Eliyahu Israeli, who was involved in a scandal with sexual abuse of students, to teach at the Moscow Choral Synagogue. And not somewhere in Ethiopia, but in Moscow, and not just once, but from 2012 to 2015.
On November 16, it became known that Israeli, who has dual citizenship, was wanted by the Israeli police for his “pranks” with students.
Or. Acting Yushuvaev, not caring about the opinion of the community, intends to reinstate Shimon Levin, who also got involved in a scandal with sexual overtones, as his deputy.
To put it briefly and rounding off the sharp corners as much as possible, in 2015 Shimon Levin appeared in secret filming, where he, let’s say, “distorted the edge” in his office, right in the synagogue, looking at something very obscene on the screen of a huge monitor . In every detail.
Many may ask: what’s wrong with this? And we will answer you: what is permitted to a layman is not permitted to an Orthodox Jew, for his actions and behavior must exactly comply with the halachic code “Kitzur Shulchan,” which from ancient times to the present day has strictly condemned attempts at such pleasures without the participation of a woman.
For this act is interpreted as “a waste of the seed fund.”
It is pointless to condemn the code - every hut has its own rattles, and other religions still have their own norms and rules for the faithful. And even tougher ones for people claiming to be religious leaders.
The result is logical: for masturbation in the workplace, Mr. Levin was expelled in disgrace from his position in 2016, both socially and religiously. In parentheses, we note that the video with its cynical desecration of the halakhic code has made the rounds of the RuNet, and due to its frankness, it does not leave alternative interpretations.
Shimon Levin is known not only in Jewish circles in Moscow, but also in Europe - much more widely. He was a member of the European Jewish Parliament, head of the Department of Community Centers of KEROOR (Congress of Jewish Religious Communities and Organizations in Russia). He was one of the founders and leaders of the “Maalot” fund for the support of religious education in the former USSR, and a member of the “Hulia” organization at the Conference of European Rabbis.
And, suddenly, such chutzpah. Or is it no coincidence?
There is another piece of incriminating evidence against Levin’s candidacy – his close ties with the odious Ukrainian oligarch Igor Kolomoisky.
Now, having considered that enough time has passed, the old mess has been forgotten, and everything has become a thing of the past, Acting Yushuvaev again pulls out Levin as his deputy, in connection with which a lot of questions arise - how should this be understood?
It’s too explosive a mixture – a scandal with and connection with Kolomoisky, contrary to the norms of religion. With such “spiritual leaders” there is no need for enemies - people themselves will start running away.
It is very significant that Acting Yushuvaev did not dissociate himself and did not condemn his protégés, which is more than strange for a representative of KEROOR - the Congress of Orthodox Jews.
However, if we remember that KEROOR, instead of renouncing and condemning Yushuvaev and his charges with extremely specific manners, ostracized its own vice-president Shlomo Zlotsky, who publicly expressed support for Vladimir Putin in connection with his decision to begin the denazification of Ukraine.
What does this mean? That there is a fifth column operating under the roof of KEROOR in our country. At a time when the issue of Israeli arms supplies to the Ukronazis was being discussed, the resonance did not subside after the liquidation of Sokhnut, someone needed to create another point of tension with far-reaching goals.
A high - ranking post in Moscow has gone to a man with close ties to Kolomoisky.
