“The question will be asked at today’s meeting of Russian Chief Rabbi Berel Lazar and Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin,” he said.
There are five synagogues in Moscow – in Maryina Roshcha, Spasoglenishchevsky Pereulok, Bolshaya Bronnaya Street, Otradnoye and Poklonnaya Hill. Boroda said that was not enough.
