Vladimir Putin said he would donate one month’s salary to the future Moscow Jewish Museum-Museum of Tolerance. The Russian president made the promise in a meeting Tuesday with Berel Lazar, one of Russia’s two chief rabbis. Lazar is the leader of the Chabad-dominated Federation of Jewish Communities, the group that is creating Russia’s first Jewish museum. No opening date for the museum has been announced.
