Rabbi Julien Weill, representing the Grand Rabbi of France, participated here yesterday in a protest against the religious persecutions in Russia. The gathering, under the auspices of the French Protestant Federation was attended by representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church. The meeting was in the form of a service at the Oratoire, the Protestant church. Rabbi Weill’s attendance marked the first occasion that a rabbi had officially attended a Protestant service here. The protest follows similar ones in Brussels, Liege, Amsterdam and Geneva.
