France’s chief rabbi ‘horrified’ by events in Paris

The Chief Rabbi of France Haim Korsia has expressed his “sincere condolences” to the relatives of the victims in Paris and says he is praying for the recovery of those injured.

Korsia says in a statement that he is “horrified” by the “unspeakable cruelty” of the terror attacks in the French capital.

He calls for unity in fighting terrorism “and all those who exploit and lead astray religion to kill in the name of God.”
