German Jewish Council advises yarmulk

berlin - The Central Jewish Council in Germany advises Jews to wear a yarmulke in large German cities. The president of the council speaks in German media about a 'turning point' for the German community.

The reason for the warning is an incident last week in which an Israeli with a yarmuler on the street in Berlin was attacked by a Syrian refugee with a belt and abused. According to figures from the police in the German capital, the number of anti-Semitic incidents has doubled since 2013.

The chief of the board Josef Schuster says it felt that 'in a large part of the German community we understood that we ended up at a turning point. 'If it does not succeed in stopping open anti-Semitism, then that is also a danger to our democracy. '
