The drastic results of the French elections this week resulted in calls from Paris’s Chief Rabbi to the Jewish community to leave France and seek it’s future in Israel. The Far Left has joined its cause with those of France’s Islamists and together they offer a bleak future for the Jews in France and beyond.
Ilana Rachel Daniel sat with Rabbi Dr Dov Maimon to learn more about the environment that led to the divides that have pit the population firmly between the far left and the far right and what it means not only for France’s future, but for Europe, the US, and the West as a whole.
