CER congratulates Rabbi Korsia on re-election as France chief rabbi

Following the re-election of Rabbi Haim Korsia as the chief rabbi of France with almost 75% of the vote, Chief Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, president of the Conference of European Rabbis (CER), said:

“On behalf of the CER, I offer the warmest congratulations to our First Vice-President, Grand Rabbin Haim Korsia, on his re-election as chief rabbi of France. France is home to Europe’s largest Jewish community and Rabbi Korsia’s leadership during these past seven years has navigated his community through a worrying rise of Jew hatred, crises of terrorism and the Covid pandemic. It has been a huge privilege to work closely with Rabbi Korsia on pan-European issues at the CER and we look forward to his continued participation.”
