The fact that Rabbi Goldschmidt is a man of immense political activity in the international arena is known, as is the fact that he is one of the most prominent people in the Western, in general, and European, in particular, rabbinical world. It is also known that Moscow is not only a port of five seas, but also one of the largest capitals of Europe, and the Jewish community of Moscow is one of the largest and richest, which is very important, communities in Europe. The number of billionaires in Moscow today is already equal to that in New York, and for most of these people, at least those who are related to Jews, Goldschmidt knows what is important for the rabbinical community. There are few real activists in this world, including among rabbis. Rav Goldschmidt undoubtedly has had personal relationships with the entire conclave of European rabbinical cardinals for decades. He didn’t step on anyone’s toes, he was smiling, charming, helpful, wears a tuxedo well, looks good, has a Swiss passport, at the same time received Russian citizenship, speaks many languages.
