Rav Menachem Hendel, a Chabad shliach in Athens where a terror attack was thwarted by the Mossad, spoke to Kikar H’Shabbat on Wednesday about the frightening report. “We heard about it on the news like everyone else,” he said. “We weren’t officially contacted. Even now – we haven’t been informed of anything. Baruch Hashem, Who watches over us – and we thank the authorities who protect us all the time.” “Were you shocked? Were the members of the kehilla scared? “We were definitely surprised. We have security all year round but this was definitely disturbing. We’re in contact with the authorities to further increase our security and b’ezras Hashem, we’ll have only good and happy things.” Is there any concern that will affect your Pesach activities? “We hope not. As of now, there haven’t been any cancellations for the pubic Seder we’re running. Of course, we’re making sure we have additional security. We have 2,300 kehilla members and we we’re taking care of everyone’s safety.” (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)
