Hanukkah 2011:
Antisemitism still present in Odessa Today

by Ariel Parkansky

The rebirth of the Jewish Community in Odessa continues and becomes more visible.

A menorah has been placed near the monument to Duke de Richelieu at Odessa’s Pimorskiy Boulevard to celebrate Hanukkah from December 14, 2011 till January 4, 2012 and the information has been published in the Odessa City Official website (see here).



However, not everything is rosy.

This visibility seems to bother some people as we can see in this video titled "Odessa confronting evil Chabad"

The images are more than eloquent as are the comments that you can read in the original You Tube page in Russian or the Google translated version in English.

Unfortunately old habits die hard.
