Moldova - Rabbi and students brutally attacked

A leading Moldovian community rabbi and his students were violently attacked by a gang of antisemites while on a camping and fishing trip in Pănăşeşti‎, located in the Chisinau region about 30 kilometers from Kishinev.

“A group of eight or nine local young men, aged 16 to 20, treacherously attacked the sleeping campers in the early hours of the morning, beat them up and took away all the money the rabbi had for food and the way home (about 300 euro)”

“I have no doubt that the attack was antisemitic,” confirmed Rabbi Israel Livshitz, who was brutally beaten. Livshitz, who is head of the Jewish community at the cultural and religious center in Chisinau, was interviewed on local television about the incident.

Several of the alleged gang members were detained and an investigation was launched
