\"Paris\"<\/a>By Francesca Matalon
\n<\/strong>
\nThe European Center for Judaism, the new Jewish cultural center which is scheduled to open in Paris in 2017 with government funds, represents \u201cthe best answer to those who think that the future of French Jews lies elsewhere,\u201d French President Francois Hollande said.<\/p>\n

The future of European Jewry was the main focus of Hollande\u2019s meeting with Moshe Kantor, the president of the European Jewish Congress, last Monday at the Elys\u00e9e Palace, where Kantor was appointed Officer of the L\u00e9gion d\u2019Honneur, the highest French national honor.
\n\u201cFrench Jews deserve to live here, to stay here, and to be safe and secure,\u201d Hollande said, replying to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s call for emigration last January after the attacks at the offices of the magazine Charlie Hebdo and of the kosher supermarket Hypercacher. <\/p>\n

The same ideas were expressed by Joel Mergui, president of the Consistoire Central de France, the umbrella organization of French Jewish institutions. \u201cMany ask if now, when Jews are leaving, is this a good time to build?\u201d he said during a gala dinner to raise funds for the construction of the ECJ held at the City Hall with many national authorities present. \u201cOne has the right neither to criticize those who leave nor to determine the future for the majority who stay, he added. This new building shows that we and no one else own that future.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Hollande called Kantor “a man of peace, a man of culture, a friend, and a friend of France.” The Legion of honor, he added, is in recognition of his work with the European Jewish Congress in promoting Jewish culture, interfaith dialogue and tolerance, fighting anti-Semitism and racism and preserving the memory of the Holocaust. <\/p>\n

Kantor said he sees this award as \u201ca testament to the French Government\u2019s commitment to French and European Jewry.\u201d \u201cI hope that the French government will support and even lead the appointment of a European Union special envoy as well as the creation of a task force on anti-Semitism at the European level has done so well in France,\u201d he called.<\/p>\n

The EJC and Kantor are among the chief donors to the European Center for Judaism. The center will house a large synagogue, two exhibition halls, a gymnasium, offices and a large terrace to accommodate a sukkah. The complex, whose construction is scheduled to begin this week, will be situated in the heavily Jewish 17th arrondissement of Paris. The municipality leased the new center\u2019s land to the Consistoire free of charge and French government offices have pledged a quarter of the money required to construct it. <\/p>\n

Together with Mergui, many national authorities were at the Hotel de Ville for the gala dinner. Among them, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, French Justice Minister Christiane Taubira and Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve. <\/p>\n

Cazeneuve said in his speech that he intends to strengthen the government\u2019s effort in providing security, also in order to prevent the departure of French Jews. \u201cFrench Jews, he said, are France\u2019s soul.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
