1911 STATEMENT OF RUSSIAN RABBIS [REGARDING THE ACCUSATIONS THAT JEWS USE CHRISTIAN BLOOD] (#1)

STATEMENT OF RUSSIAN RABBIS [REGARDING THE ACCUSATIONS THAT JEWS USE CHRISTIAN BLOOD] (#1)

(“Statement of Russian Rabbis”, 1911)

The rabbis declared that the use of Christian blood was not part of Judaism—It was never taught in any Jewish literature or texts, nor was it part of any Jewish celebrations or ceremonies. According to the rabbis, to say that it was true was malicious slander. Rather, Judaism promotes “…mutual love between the peoples of the earth….” 813 rabbis from throughout the Russian provinces signed the statement. The original signatures were stored in the St. Petersburg Rabbinate.
