Visit Of Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi To St.james Monastery
JERUSALEM, JANUARY 27, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. On Sunday
afternoon, 22 January 2006, Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi, Yona Metzger, and
Member of the Knesset, Yuri Stern, paid a courtesy visit to His
Beatitude Archbishop Torkom Manoogian, Armenian Patriarch of
Jerusalem. Also present were: Bishop Aris Shirvanian, the
Patriarchate's Director of Ecumenical and Foreign Relations, and
Archbishop Nerses xxxabalian, from the Holy See of Etchmiadzin, in
Armenia. The latter had met the distinguished guests during their
audience with His Holiness Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II in
2005.
"I learned from that visit to Armenia that our two nations, Israel and
Armenia, are so similar and our communities are connected from all
over the world to our homelands. Both our peoples have suffered so
much these last one hundred years," said Rabbi Metzger. "The emotion
we experienced at the Genocide Memorial Mountain in Yerevan was
heartfelt. Our interpreter was so moved that he began to weep and
could not continue to translate."
According to the Divan of the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem, His
Beatitude the Patriarch spoke of his visit to Yad Vashem, the
Holocaust Memorial Museum, relating the overpowering impact of the
image of the young boy, with hands held up, questioning his fate.
"Next to each picture, I can place an Armenian one, and write the same
caption as is written in Hebrew," remarked the Patriarch. He continued
by tracing the history of survival of the Armenian people, who have
sacrificed themselves throughout seventeen centuries of oppression to
preserve their Christian faith.
To Bishop Shirvanian's question about lobbying for a resolution to be
brought for passage to the Knesset, Mr. Stern replied that, when at
the Genocide Monument in Armenia, Rabbi Metzger had recited the
special Hebrew burial prayer, usually said to memorialize the victims
of the Jewish Holocaust, but remembering those who lost their lives in
the Armenian Genocide of 1915. "We must keep working again and again
to bring about policy changes," he said. "It's a moral issue for us."
Rabbi Metzger presented His Beatitude with a framed photograph, taken
during his visit to Armenia together with the Armenian Prime Minister
and the Catholicos of All Armenians. The guests were given copies of
the Hebrew language edition of The Banality of Denial: Israel and the
Armenian Genocide, by Yair Auron."All truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident."
Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

It is most shameful for any Jews to deny the Armenian Genocide - likewise it is most shameful for Armenians to be racist towards jews or any other ethnic group...after what our people have been through and suffered because of...
