As Jewish leaders debate community’s future in Europe, their kids have been leaving
 Just as the Christians are deserting the Middle East, so too are the Jews pulling out from most of the world, having better places to be than where they ae actively unwanted. First the Middle East, then the former Soviet Union, now Western Europe. Current trends suggest that soon the Jewish community will be exclusively in Israel and America. [IsraelTimes] Antisemitism and the dwindling of European Jewry are eroding the hopes of some devoted activists to raise families in the communities they run.All but two of Rabbi Binyomin Jacobs’ seven children have left their native Netherlands, raising their own children in Israel and beyond. This means that the Dutch chief rabbi, whose family has lived in the Netherlands for generations, and his London-born wife Blouma rarely get to bask in the warmth of the large family they have devoted much of their lives to establishing.
