Chief Rabbi Yehuda Leib Levin of Moscow, who usually sends New Year’s greetings to the Israeli Chief Rabbinate two weeks before the High Holy Days, sent belated greetings this year, according to Sephardic Chief Rabbi Yizhak Nissim’s office. The greetings, it was noted, were sent in reply to a New Year message sent to Moscow by Rabbi Nissim, when the customary message from Rabbi Levin had failed to arrive.
