Chief Rabbi Yehudah Leib Levin of Moscow has sent a message to the Canadian Jewish Congress, conveying Passover greetings to the “entire Jewish community of Canada,” Michael Garber, president of the CJC, disclosed today.
Mr. Garber had written to the Chief Rabbi, sending Passover greetings on behalf of Canadian Jewry. In the reply, in Hebrew, Rabbi Levin cited the Talmudic interpretation of the concluding portion of the vision of the Prophet Malachi, the traditional prophetic reading for the Sabbath preceding Passover. He declared also that the holiday required all Jews to keep “all ancient customs and observances in their minutest details as they have been handed down from generation to generation.”
