Moscow Chief Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, President of the Conference of European Rabbis said on Monday that a Norwegian proposal to ban circumcision below the age of 16 “is an overt and blatant attack on faith communities."
Speaking at the conference's biennial convention in Amsterdam, Rabbi Goldschmidt warned, "The Conference of European Rabbis will repel any such calls in the strongest measures and continue working to ensure that European Jewry is able to practice our faith in a safe and secure manner."
