Jewish community - A sense of threat and the joy of solidarity
The terrorist attacks by Hamas in Israel and a wave of anti-Semitic incidents in Germany have created a sense of threat in the Jewish community in Hanau. According to Rabbi Shimon Großberg, the reactions of members of the community vary. "The slightly older ones say: we want to show that we are coming now more than ever. But there are also members of the community who are afraid and don't come to the Shabbat celebration," he told the German Press Agency.
In Hanau, as in other synagogues in Germany, there are no religious services without police protection. Nevertheless, the Jewish community in Hanau wants to continue to be open for encounters, as its managing director Oliver Dainow emphasized. "We will simply carry on. This also applies to our participation in public events outside of our community life."
He added that the community is currently pleased with the solidarity from the population, which is stronger and more tangible than it has been for years. Cooperation with the police is also very close and gives a feeling of security.
