North Church - Include protection of Jewish life in the state constitution
The Bishop of the North Church, Kristina Kühnbaum-Schmidt, has urged the state government of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern to include the protection of Jewish life in the state constitution. There are already efforts to this end in Schleswig-Holstein, the bishop acknowledged on Wednesday. In Hamburg, the fight against racism and anti-Semitism was included as a state objective in the constitution in the spring.
The Jewish festival of Hanukkah begins on Thursday. On this occasion, she sent greetings of hope to the members of the Jewish community, said the regional bishop. The Northern Church and the Catholic Archdiocese of Hamburg are therefore placing a joint newspaper advertisement in several northern German daily newspapers on Thursday. According to the information provided, it says: "The festival comes at a difficult time. Anti-Semitic attacks and hatred against Jews shake us to the core. As Christians, we stand by your side."
