'France was saved from the extremists'

Rabbi Aryeh Weil, rabbi of the Portuguese Synagogue in Paris, spoke to Arutz Sheva on Monday about the feeling of relief among French Jews after the victory of Emmanuel Macron in the presidential election.

"The feelings are positive, because we were spared the fear and the extremists. We hoped that the extremists would not succeed in rising to power, because it was a real danger to democracy. It is a feeling of joy and happiness for all of us in France, that there is no extremist party in power,” said Rabbi Weil.
