A capital taxi driver refused to take a rabbi because “he’s Jewish.” – Russia today Publication in CHAT: RussiaMikhoel Stavropolsky, a rabbi of the youth organization Yakhad, called a taxi today to the building of the Mountain Jews community in Sokolniki. The man was in a hurry on business, but the trip ended before it even began. The driver Abror A. immediately asked the passenger, "Are you Jewish?" and, upon hearing a positive answer, refused to take him. Mikhoel was taken aback and asked the reason again, after which a short dialogue about nations and religions took place between the taxi driver and the passenger. The anti-Semitic driver left, and the passenger contacted Yandex technical support. The security service called the rabbi back and promised to start an investigation with the driver and "apply sanctions" to him. Original source Source link
