{"description":"From the bleak Soviet Union, to the historic renaissance of Judaism, to the current collapse of Russian society, Moscow\u2019s chief rabbi for almost three decades joins us in London.\nNow exiled in Israel, Pinchas Goldschmidt\u2019s tenure ended abruptly in 2022 when he spoke out against Putin\u2019s war against Ukraine, resigned, and recommended that all Jews leave the country.\nHis memoir tells of the flourishing of a Jewish community at the very heart of a land that for centuries was committed to its destruction. He sheds light on run-ins with secret service agents; the influence of oligarchs on the capital\u2019s Jewish community; and local antisemitism always simmering beneath the surface.","height":1080,"html":"<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%\"><iframe src=\"https://skiv.com/embed/UbwZYBC\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;position:absolute;left:0;top:0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"fullscreen\" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>","provider_name":"Skiv","provider_url":"https://skiv.com","thumbnail_height":198,"thumbnail_url":"https://cdn.skiv.com/u/MkG8VMM/2a932d94e2a3e17b372f2b9e05296ff12f0b976e4fd987f71e0d27b4c273ca70/thumbnails/thumbnail.jpg","thumbnail_width":352,"title":"Pinchas Goldschmidt: Moscow Memoirs","type":"video","url":"https://skiv.com/v/UbwZYBC","version":"1.0","width":1920}
