Rabbinical Centre of Europe presents Chanukah Menorah to EU Parliament head
BRUSSELS (EJP)---A delegation of the Rabbinical Centre of Europe (RCE) presented European Parliament President Martin Schulz with a special Menorah, an eight branch candelabra ornamented with a "Euro – Jewish star", symbolizing the EU's commitment for "lighting the darkness" over hate and anti-Semitism.
The Menorah symbolizes
the eight-day Jewish holiday of Chanukah, also known as the Festival of
Lights, which begins at sundown on Saturday.The holiday commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt.
Brussels: Delegacija RCE ( Rabinical Centre of Europe) predala je predsjedniku Martinu Schulzu u Evropskom parlamentu specijalnu menoru- sviječnjak sa 8 krakova koji je imao ornamente "Euro-Jewish star", kojim simbolizira"svijetlo u tami" - posvećenost Evropske zajednice borbi protiv mržnje i antisemitizma.
Menora simbolizira osmodnevni židovski praznik Hanuku, poznatu kao "praznik svjetlosti", koji započinje zalaskom sunca u subotu.
Praznik komemorira posvećenje Drugog Hrama u vrijeme Makabejskog ustanka.
Uspomena na Shoah će uvijek živjeti i ostati će uvijek dio njemačke savjesti. U vrijeme kada antisemitizam u Evropi raste, mi najviše trebamo ovo svijetlo- rekao je Schulz, primajući menoru.

Rabbi Menachem Margolin, Director of the European Jewish Association (EJA) said that while over 2000 years Europe has been the "world's capital of anti-Semitism and darkness," since the creation of the European Union "our hope is that Europe will be a source of light.""We are proud to present President Schulz with this Menorah that serves as a beacon of light over darkness just as the EU stands in the front of the fight against human rights violations," he said.
The delegation was also composed of Chief Rabbi David MosheLiberman and Rabbi Yaakov David Schmahl of Antwerp, Chief Rabbi Binyomin Jacobs of the Netherlands, Rabbi Avi Tawil Director of the European Jewish Community Centre and Rabbi Levi Matusof director of the European Jewish Public Affairs.
Chief Rabbi Lieberman told President Schulz: "the EU unifies all cultures and its purpose, much like this menorah, is to spread light among all people".
Glavni rabin Lieberman je rekao predsjedniku Schulzu: Evropska zajednica ujedinjuje sve kulture isadržaje, i baš kao ova menora, širi svijetlo među svim narodima"
