26.02.2008
The Euro-Asian Jewish Congress (EAJC) Secretary General and the EAJC General Council Chairman Joseph Zissels together with the world Jewish diplomatic mission, which held an intense program in Tbilisi (Georgia), took part in the meetings with the leaders of Israel and some public organizations, as was arranged by the visit agenda.
M.Chlenov spoke at the plenary session of the Global Forum on Anti-Semitism and had negotiations with the foundation "Keren Hayesod". Together with J.Zissels he took part in the JAFI Governing Board meeting, where he made a report on the state of Jewish communities on the post-Soviet territories. Peter Stegny, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of Russia to Israel, also spoke at the meeting.
Chlenov took part in the presentation of the "Children of Abraham" book, published by the DAAT/Znanie publishing house (Moscow-Jerusalem) with the support of American Jewish Committee and Euro-Asian Jewish Congress (EAJC).
The book tells about the beginnings of confrontation between the Moslems and the Jews, about the "Golden Age" of agreement and cooperation which turned into the long history of hatred and animosity of two peoples and religions. "Children of Abraham" calls to search for ways of mutual understanding and reconciliation of the followers of the two antagonistic religions, both of which were founded by their mutual ancestor, Abraham.
The presentation was charred by famous "refusenik" Joseph Begun/ Rabbi Gregory Kotlyar, writer Mikhail Heifetz, Lyudmila Dymerskaya-Tzygelman, Abraham Torpusman and others spoke on the merits of the book.
