Israeli President Opens Moscow Jewish Museum

(RIA Novosti-Russia) Israeli President Shimon Peres officially opened a new Jewish Museum and Center of Tolerance in Moscow on Thursday.

The Center of Tolerance will provide a platform for dialog on issues of tolerance, mutual understanding, respect and intercultural relations.

"We are praying that Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Barack Obama pool their efforts in putting an end to terror and threats, to free mankind from bloodshed and despair," Peres said.
