“Hungary is one of the safest countries in Europe for Jews” – Discussion with Rabbi Baruch Oberlander Part 2

In the second episode of our new series ’Judaism and Anti-Semitism in Hungary’ we continue our conversation with Rabbi Baruch Oberlander, chief leader of the Chábád/ Lubavich community and the head of the Budapest Orthodox Rabbinate. In this episode, we talk about the different perceptions of anti-Semitism in Hungary and about the conflict between the Jewish communities MAZSIHISZ and EMIH. Although in Western media, Hungary is often portrayed as still having a major problem with anti-Semitism, it turns out to be one of the safest European countries for Jews to live in.
