Council of European Rabbis (CER) President HaRav Pinchos Goldschmidt
and German Federal President Christian Wulff inaugurated the new
synagogue in Speyer, Germany 73 years to the day after it was
destroyed in 1938 during Kristallnacht.
Hundreds of participants from various Jewish communities in Germany
were on hand for the distinguished ceremony, including CER
representatives from different parts of Europe, representatives of the
German government and representatives of the municipal district.
During the event President Wulff said the renewal of Jewish life in
Germany is a gift. "We are pleased the new synagogue has been built
and that people can come to pray in it," he said.
