Two people were inured in Wednesday’s explosion at a Moscow synagogue. The explosion at the Marina Roscha shul, a Lubavitch congregation, damaged two of the building’s three floors. To demonstrate its solidarity with Russian Jews in the wake of the bombing, the World Jewish Congress announced it would hold an executive committee meeting in Moscow this fall. WJC officials say the meeting will mark the first time that international Jewish leaders convened in the Russian capital.
